“Banlieusarde”1, the empo
No full textThis article will examine the representation of the second generation of immigrant women in their urban space in the movie Divines directed by Ouda Benyamina (2016). Benyamina portrays a young, yet determined, female, Dounia from a disadvantaged area on the edge of the projects, who lives with her mother and her cross-dressing uncle. Her identity eventually becomes a hybrid-gender (fe) male: the looks of a female with male personality attributes such as hustling, dealing drugs, and being a provider. Like her male counterpart, she has the agency to create a specific representation by telling or showing her own story. I will explore how resistance becomes a protective shell for the female protagonist that allows her to create a macho violence as a survival strategy in her own space. How does female agency, articulated through a thematic of space lead to a reconstruction of the female body and identity? I argue that the French underrepresented female situates herself in relation to Republican hegemonic discourses by adopting a double-gender status and a double-space status. Space in Divines challenges the gender problematic since it is focused on a strictly male environment of the projects that she attempts to dominate at all costs. Changing her space is changing the view of her male counterparts but, most of all, changing the condition of these femmes de l’ombre. That allows her to regain this violence into power to survive and to renegotiate her space in French society.Cet article examine la représentation de la jeune femme issue de la seconde génération de l’immigration dans son espace urbain dans le film Divines produit par Ouda Benyamina (2016). Benyamina présente le portrait d’une jeune fille forte et déterminée du nom de Dounia. Elle habite dans un camp, à la marge d’une cité, avec sa mère et son oncle travesti. Son identité devient hybride, elle a l’apparence tantôt d’un garçon manqué, tantôt d’une femme féminine. Dans sa ruée vers l’or, elle est dotée d’attributs moraux masculins en subvenant aux besoins de sa famille à travers la vente de drogues. Elle a le pouvoir de créer sa propre histoire en s’insérant dans un environnement phallocentrique. J’analyse comment la résistance devient une protection qui conduit la banlieusarde à adopter une attitude machiste comme stratégie de survie. Comment le pouvoir de la femme dans son espace entraine à la reconstruction du corps féminin et de son identité ? J’affirme que la femme de banlieue se situe par rapport au discours hégémonique républicain et masculin et qu’elle adopte un double statut de genre et d’espace. L’espace dans Divines met au défi la problématique du genre dans un environnement masculin qu’elle parvient à dominer à tout prix. Le changement de l’environnement va de soi avec le changement des perceptions masculines mais surtout, avec le changement de la condition féminine de ces femmes de l’ombre. Cela leur permet de reprendre et dominer cette violence symbolique pour la survie de leur espace et de ce fait, leur propre survie.Este artículo examina la representación de la mujer de la segunda generación de inmigrante en su espacio urbano en el film Divines (2016). Benyamina describe el retrato de una mujer fuerte y determinada, Dounia quien vive en un lugar pobre al margen de los barrios, con su madre y su tío travesti. La identidad de Dounia es hibrida: tiene la apariencia de un marimacho y de una mujer femenina. Por su deseo de dinero, tiene atributas morales masculinas por ser el proveedor de la familia por vender drogas. Tiene el poder de crear su historia integrándose en un contexto falócrata. Analizo como la resistencia se vuelve a una protección que conduce la mujer del barrio a adoptar una actitud machista como estrategia de supervivencia. ¿Cómo el poder de la mujer en su espacio produce la reconstrucción del cuerpo femenino y de su identidad? Yo afirmo que la suburbana se sitúe en relación del discurso hegemónico republican y masculino, y ella adopta un doble estatus de género y de espacio. El espacio desafía el problema del género en un medio ambiente masculino que ella quiere conseguir. El cambio del medio ambiente va con el cambio de las percepciones masculinas y, con el cambio de la condición femenina de estas femmes de l’ombre. De esa manera, la mujer repite y domina esta violencia simbólica para la subsistencia de su espacio y después de su propia supervivencia.Este artigo examina a representação da mulher de segunda geração de imigrantes no espaço urbano do filme Divines(2016).

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
