Lire Monique Wittig aujourd’hui
No full textMonique Wittig fut à la fois l'auteur d'une œuvre romanesque importante, une militante engagée dès l'origine dans le mouvement de libération des femmes, et une théoricienne prônant un féminisme matérialiste qui remet en cause, à partir du point de vue lesbien, « la pensée straight ». Reconnu et étudié depuis longtemps déjà à l'étranger, et notamment aux États-Unis où elle a vécu, son travail d'écriture, inextricablement lié à une activité militante et à une exigence théorique, restait à approfondir en France. Lire Monique Wittig, c'est interroger les rapports entre façons d'écrire, façons de parler et façons d'agir, tels qu'ils se manifestent dans ses textes mêmes : c'est ce que propose ce livre, qui réunit des contributions d'universitaires issues de différents champs disciplinaires, de militant.e.s, d'écrivain.e.s. Pour qui en effet se refuse à penser que la littérature appartienne aux arts décoratifs, pour qui pense qu'au contraire peuvent s'élaborer dans l'écriture des pratiques susceptibles d'être réappropriées et que le travail sur le langage est le lieu même où peuvent se former une pensée et une politique, alors Lire Monique Wittig aujourd'hui s'impose
Écrire le genre
No full textDepuis plusieurs années, en France notamment, l’égalité des droits entre femmes et hommes est régulièrement réaffirmée par les textes réglementaires et les revendications féministes. Or ce discours politique ne se traduit pas que dans les lois et les pratiques économiques : il passe aussi par une politique du discours, en particulier via le recours à des protocoles rédactionnels rendant visible la présence des femmes dans l’écriture (Circulaires du Premier Ministre, 11 mars 1986, 6 mars 1998, articles L-1132-1 et 5321-2 du Code du travail, article 25-1 du Code pénal). La volonté d’égalité implique alors une représentation équilibrée du masculin et du féminin dans les discours, soit par des essais de neutralisation (dont le fameux et désormais contesté « masculin générique »), soit par des graphies innovantes qui assurent la coprésence des formes (é.e, éE, é(e), etc.). Mais comment mettre concrètement en pratique cette plus grande égalité des genres, en France, en l’absence de recommandations institutionnelles fortes ? Et refuser les nouvelles formes graphiques signifie-t-il une hostilité à l’agenda égalitariste ? C’est à ces procédés et à leurs implications linguistiques et politiques que ce numéro de Mots sera consacré. In recent years, gender equality has been regularly reaffirmed in a number of countries, including France, through both legislation and feminist claims. This political stance is not only reflected in the law and in economic practices: it also translates into proactive language policies which seek to increase the visibility of women in written discourse, mainly in the form of guidelines for the use of gender-fair language (in France, one can cite the Prime ministerial circulars of 11 March 1986 and 6 March 1998; articles L-1132-1 and 5321-2 of the labour code; or article 25-1 of the criminal code). This pursuit of equality involves a well-balanced representation of the masculine and feminine genders, either through attempts at gender-neutralisation (countering the systematic use of the so-called ‘generic masculine’), or through innovative written forms that specify both genders (é.e, éE, é(e), etc.). But in practical terms, how exactly can increased gender equality be implemented in France, given the lack of strong institutional recommendations? Besides, should anyone who rejects the new written forms be regarded as automatically hostile to the whole gender-equality enterprise? This is what issue 113 of Mots addresses, exploring the written forms used to foster gender equality and their linguistic and political implications. Desde hace unos años, especialmente en Francia, la igualdad de género está reafirmada de manera regular por textos reglementarios y reinvidicaciones feministas. Sin embargo, este discurso político se traduce no sólo en las leyes y los usos ecónomicos : también pasa por una política del discurso, en particular gracias al recurso a unos protócolos de redacción que dando visibilidad a la presencia de las mujeres en la escritura (Órdenes ministeriales del Primer Ministro, 11 de Marzo de 1986, 6 de marzo 1998, artículos L-1132-1 et 5321-2 del Código laboral, artículo 25-1 del Código penal). La voluntad de igualdad implica pues una representación equilibrada del masculino y del femenino en los discursos, sea por tentativas de neutralización (cuyo famoso y ahora contestado « masculino genérico »), sea por grafías innovadoras que aseguran la presencia de las formas (é.e, éE, é(e), etc.). Pero cómo concretamente poner en práctica esa mayor igualdad de généro, en Francia, sin recomandaciones institucionales fuertes ? Y rechazar las nuevas formas gráfica significa pues una hostilidad a la agenda igualitarista ? Este número de Mots está dedicado a estos procedimientos y a sus implicacions linguísticas y políticas
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
