    « Ce n’est plus, semble-t-il, le rôle […] de notre littérature de détruire le monde »

    “It Seems it is No Longer the Role […] of Our Literature to Destroy the World” One of the trends in literature, today and over the last 30 years, is to reject fiction as an imaginative variation. This tendency can be read as a device of self-censorship symptomatic of a lack of conceptualization and, therefore, of discursive formatting, of any alternative image of the world as a world conceived, as opposed to the world “ as it is”.L’une des tendances de la littérature, aujourd’hui et depuis une trentaine d’années, consiste à refuser la fiction en sa qualité de variation imaginative. Cette tendance peut être lue comme un dispositif d’autocensure symptomatique d’une absence de conceptualisation et, donc, de mise en forme discursive, de toute image alternative du monde comme monde conçu par opposition au monde « tel qu’il est ».“ Parece que la función […] de nuestra literatura ya no es destruir el mundo” Una de las tendencias en la literatura actual y en los últimos 30 años es rechazar la ficción como una variación imaginativa. Esta tendencia puede entenderse como un dispositivo de autocensura, sintomático de una falta de conceptualización y, por lo tanto, de formateado discursivo, de cualquier imagen alternativa del mundo como tal concebido en oposición al mundo “ tal y como es”.Daros Philippe. « Ce n’est plus, semble-t-il, le rôle […] de notre littérature de détruire le monde ».

    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

    Representing the writer in his relationship to history in Imre Kertész and Antonio Tabucchi’s narrations : literature with a responsibility

    Étudier la représentation de l’écrivain dans son rapport à l’Histoire permet d’analyser les enjeux d’un retour de l’Histoire dans la fiction, accompagné d’une volonté auctoriale référentielle, sans retour d’un auteur démiurge ou d’une littérature purement référentielle. Il s’agit alors d’analyser comment Imre Kertész et Antonio Tabucchi conjuguent fictionnalisation de l’Histoire et fictionnalisation de l’écrivain en privilégiant les liens entre littérature et politique, et en s’appuyant sur la place du lecteur dans la construction du sens afin de déterminer une responsabilité des écrivains, dans l’oblicité de la représentation et du témoignage. Les désastres du XXe siècle font retour de manière spectrale dans les récits et la définition d’une poétique de l’inquiétude constitue alors le pivot entre la responsabilité du lecteur et celle des auteurs, pour l’émergence d’une littérature responsable.Studying the way a writer is represented in his relationship to history allows us to analyse the stakes of a return of history within fiction, along with an author’s referential will, without witnessing any coming back of a demiurgic author or of a purely referential literature. The question, then, is to find out how Imre Kertész and Antonio Tabucchi combine fictionalization of history with fictionalization of the writer by emphasizing the links between literature and politics and by relying upon the reader’s role in the elaboration of the meaning, in order to give rise to a responsibility of writers for oblique representation and testimony. In all the narrations, the disasters of the XXth century are recurrent in a ghostly manner and then the definition of a poetics of disquiet constitutes the pivot between the reader’s responsibility and the authors’ in order to lead to responsible literature

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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

    Genealogy of an oriental poetics, the real and the fictional between Ancient Greece and Islamic Iran

    L’avancée considérable des dispositifs de vraisemblance, l’imposante combinaison de l’art et du virtuel, le souci d’archives, la volonté de réalité etc. qui marquent notre temps ont mis la question de "pourquoi la fiction ?" au centre des réflexions poétiques et philosophiques. Question qui, à ses deux extrémités, implique le discours littéraire et le discours historiographique. Pour y répondre, la pensée en Occident fait traditionnellement appel à ses origines grecques. De manière quasiment invariable, la réponse a été recherchée dans un cadre bipolaire et référentiel constitué du réel et du fictionnel. Dans le présent travail, il s’agit de remonter jusqu’aux Grecs, à la recherche d’une pensée de l’art et du fictionnel qui ne se contenterait pas du cadre référentiel. Ainsi, sont repérés les éléments d’une autre lecture grecque qui se trouve être à l’origine de la poétique élaborée au sein de l’islam iranien : une poétique orientale qu’il faut considérer comme un autre devenir de la poétique grecque. À partir des discours théorique, littéraire et historiographique irano-islamiques, il est montré comment cette poétique orientale exige de penser la fiction dans le cadre d’un schème tripartite : le rapport du réel au fictionnel fait immanquablement entrer en ligne de compte un troisième pôle qu’on appelle la vérité ou le réel de la réalité. D’un point de vue comparatif, le schème tripartite permettra de penser la question de la fiction sous un nouveau jour.The ingenious progress of the means of likelihood, the required combination of art and the virtual, the interest for archives, the will of reality ect., that characterize our time, have given a particular interest to the question of "why fiction?", both in the philosophical reflections and the poetical investigations. In its two end-points, this question concerns both literary and historiographical discourses. Western thought has traditionally referred to its Greek origins in order to answer the question. Yet most of the time, the answer is formulated in a bipolar, referential framework consisting of the real and the fictional. Instead, in the present work, the issue is to move back up the Greek legacy in search of some art and fiction thought which goes beyond this referential framework. Doing this, we can identify the elements of a different reading of Greek thought which is actually involved in the very starting point of the poetics developed within the Islamico-Iranian cultural world : an oriental poetics which is to be considered another becoming of Greek poetics. Through theoretical, literary and historiographical discourses in Post-Islamic Iran, the author tries to show this oriental poetics requires thinking fiction now in a tripartite schema : the relationship between the real and the fictional takes necessarily into account a third pole that one can call the truth or the real of reality. From a comparative perspective, the tripartite schema could help to think the general issue of fiction in a different way

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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
