Gaëtan Cognard, “Through the Victorian looking-glass from Gypsyland to fairyland todarkland.”
No full textInternational audienceSLIDE 1 SLIDE 2 "Through the Victorian looking-glass: from Gypsyland to fairyland to darkland." Gaëtan Cognard SLIDE 3 INTRODUCTION In 1783, Die Zigeuner was published in which the author H.M.G. Grellman asserted that SLIDE 4 "The Gypsies are an eastern people, and have eastern notions. It is inherent in uncivilized people, particularly those of Oriental countries, to be strongly attached to their own habits 1 ." SLIDE 5 The Victorian era saw a surge in internal orientalism concerning the then "Gypsies," or in more modern terms, "Gypsy" Travellers of Great Britain and Ireland, an attitude which became known as Gypsylorism: Whilst Orientalism is the discursive construction of the exotic Other outside Europe, Gypsylorism is the construction of the exotic Other within Europe -Romanies are the Orientals within. 2Those representations showed the fascination held by the dominant society about the "Gypsy" Travellers, at the same time betraying some of its obsessions. They were always marginalized in fantasized "elsewheres", worlds within worlds, "espace autres". An artificial map was created inventing a Gypsyland, creating artificial borders between Gadjoland and Gypsyland, and imposing SLIDE 6 "a picture of the racial Gypsy which has been imprinted firmly in the popular consciousness 3 ", descriptions turning into myths and legends, in turns enchanting or dark. John Keats, Walter Scott, Charlotte Brontë, George Eliott, to quote only a few examples, all described "Gypsy" Travellers inhabiting spaces at once real und unreal, heterotopias constituting, in the words of Michel Foucault, SLIDE 7 a "great reserve of imagination 4 ".</div
Life and work of Zlata Pirnat Cognard and children’s literature
No full textThis study examines the life and literary legacy of Zlata Pirnat Cognard, a remarkable luminary in the field of children\u27s literature. It meticulously traces her life from her birth in Trsat, Croatia, in 1912 to her later migration to Ljubljana and France,where she studied history, sociology and her deep interest in children\u27s literature. Cognard\u27s academic work was characterizedby extensive research on Yugoslav women writers, which resulted in seminal works such as the Bibliography of Slovene Women Writers (1936) and her doctoral thesis completed at Sorbonne in 1975. Her meticulous compilation of bibliographies and her astute critical analyses serve to illuminate the literary output of Slovene and Croatian women writers and thus secure them a place in academic discourse. Outside of academia, Cognard works as a journalist and writer, contributing to the literary landscape with original works and translations. In addition, her interaction with prominent figures emphasizes her important role as a catalyst forcultural exchange. This contribution emphasizes the value of Cognard\u27s literary archive, which is kept in the National and University Library of Ljubljana, and makes it an indispensable resource for futureresearch. Through a careful examination of her lasting legacy and its impact on Slovenian, Croatian and French literature, this study seeks to shed light on Cognard\u27s lasting influence on children\u27s literature and academic research

LIFE AND WORK OF ZLATA PIRNAT COGNARD AND CHILDREN’S LITERATURE
No full textThis study examines the life and literary legacy of Zlata Pirnat Cognard, a remarkable luminary in the field of children's literature. It meticulously traces her life from her birth in Trsat, Croatia, in 1912 to her later migration to Ljubljana and France, where she studied history, sociology and her deep interest in children's literature. Cognard's academic work was characterized by extensive research on Yugoslav women writers, which resulted in seminal works such as the Bibliography of Slovene Women Writers (1936) and her doctoral thesis completed at Sorbonne in 1975. Her meticulous compilation of bibliographies and her astute critical analyses serve to illuminate the literary output of Slovene and Croatian women writers and thus secure them a place in academic discourse.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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

No full textDispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
