    L’exposition encore en cours au Musée des Beaux-Arts de Montréal est une réalisation conjointe du Musée royal de l’Ontario à Toronto (sous la direction de Paul Denis, commissaire principal, aidé de la conservatrice et chercheuse Kate Cooper) et du musée de Montréal (Laura Vigo, archéologue italienne et co-commissaire), avec l’aide et la collaboration de la Soprintendenza de Campanie et de celle de Pompéi. Ce sont quelques 220 œuvres qui ont été exposées à Toronto puis à Montréal, selon une or..

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    Questions romaines, questions chrétiennes : regards patristiques sur la société et les institutions romaines tardives

    No full text
    En 1978, Jean Gaudemet avait estimé que les allusions directes ou implicites aux lois et institutions romaines dans les écrits chrétiens des ive-ve s. révélaient souvent chez leurs auteurs une connaissance assez superficielle du droit. Même des intellectuels assurément formés au droit romain comme l’était Ambroise de Milan, fils de préfet du prétoire et lui-même assesseur du préfet Petronius Probus avant d’être élu au siège milanais, n’auraient fait montre d’aucune technicité juridique partic..

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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

    The “Poor” Facing Late Antique Justice: the Cases from the Papyri

    No full text
    International audienceIn Late Antique literature, the poor man is often presented as a person suffering social isolation and oppressed by someone powerful, a person confronting alone institutions structured by great inequalities. The poor are then depicted in various situations of oppression: debt mechanisms, fiscal pressure, labour domination. It will be interesting to compare this picture drawn from Christian literature with the primary evidence of the papyri. Egyptian documents preserved a certain number of petitions to authorities and judicial settlements which show the poor’s position in the judicial system. Are they more often plaintiffs than defendants? How can they defend themselves when they are charged in court? The chapter will investigate various aspects of the subject: -the local Late judicial system and the conditions of intervention in court; -the social position of the two parties, counting the cases where inequality prevails vs the cases where the parties are socially equal; -the ways the cases are settled by the judicial magistrates or by ‘arbitration’
