No full textL’Orient joue un rôle fondamental dans le processus de construction de l’identité européenne dès l’aube de sa civilisation. Concept flou du point de vue géographique, il est à concevoir comme une catégorie mentale, un miroir par lequel l’Europe construit une image de soi et de l’Autre. À partir de la parution de l’essai très controversé d’Edward Saïd (Orientalisme, 1978), le discours académique sur la représentation de l’Orient s’est déplacé du plan purement littéraire au plan sociopolitique, en devenant un des domaines privilégiés des Postcolonial Studies. Ce numéro de RILUNE propose un regard sur les visions de l’Orient qui ne se borne pas à ses implications coloniales, mais qui concerne tous les niveaux de l’expression artistique et littéraire. Les contributions s’organisent autour de trois axes thématiques: Orient et orientalisme (I), l’Orient en tant qu’image (II), l’Orient en tant que motif de fusion (III
Visions de l’Orient

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Metamorfosi dell'immagine dei Tartari nella letteratura europea del '900
Full text linkCe travail doctoral analyse le changement de l’image des Tartares dans la littérature européenne en langue allemande, anglaise, française et italienne du XXe siècle par l’étude de trois figures : la horde mongole, Gengis-khan et Khoubilaï-khan.
Il soutient la thèse que, grâce à quelques facteurs historico-culturels comme la remise en question du concept de barbarie, l’essor des totalitarismes, l’ouverture de la Mongolie vers l’Occident, la redécouverte de l’Histoire secrète des Mongols et la fortune de Le divisament dou monde, au cours du XXe siècle, l’image littéraire des gengiskhanides de négative devient positive.
Cette étude se compose d’une introduction, de trois chapitres et d’une conclusion. Dans l’introduction, on analyse la formation de l’image des Tartares et son évolution jusqu’à la fin du XIXe siècle, on retrace les facteurs historico-culturels qui la remettent au goût du jour et en provoquent le changement au XXe siècle et on présente le travail. Dans le premier chapitre, on se penche sur la prosopographie des Tartares dans les textes littéraires du XXe siècle, en la confrontant avec leur représentation dans l’art contemporain. Dans le deuxième chapitre, on étudie la façon des Tartares de se rapporter aux autres au sein de la société dans les textes littéraires du XXe siècle. Dans le troisième chapitre, on examine les lieux des gengiskhanides dans les textes littéraires du XXe siècle. Enfin, dans la conclusion, les données acquises au moyen de l’analyse conduite sont confrontées et interprétées.
Le changement de l’image des Tartares va de pair avec une Europe qui, après avoir fait l’expérience de deux guerres mondiales, avoir assisté aux revendications de la décolonisation et avoir introjecté la thèse freudienne du « malaise dans la civilisation », remet en discussion sa façon de concevoir la barbarie et l’Altérité.The aim of this doctoral dissertation is to analyse the evolution of the image of Tartars in European literature in German, English, French and Italian language of the Twentieth century through the study of three figures: the Mongolian horde, Gengis-khan and Khoubilaï-khan.
It advances the thesis that, with the help of some historical and cultural factors during the Twentieth century such as the transformation of the concept of barbarity, the rise of totalitarianisms, the opening of Mongolia to the West, the rediscovery of the Secret History of the Mongols and the fortune of Le divisament dou monde, the literary image of Gengis-khan and his following turns from negative to positive.
This case study is comprised of an introduction, three chapters and a concluding statement. In the introduction, we analyse the birth of the image of the Tartars and its evolution up until the end of the Nineteenth century, we define the historical and cultural factors that caused the shift of its meaning and present the work. In the first chapter, we take into consideration the portrayal of Tartars in Twentieth century literature, comparing it with the manner they were represented in contemporary art. In the following chapter, we analyse the way Tartars interacted with others in society through Twentieth century literary texts. Said texts are presented again in the final chapter, in which they are yet again used to study the locations in which Tartars roamed. Finally, the data acquired from these studies is compared and interpreted.
The change for the better of the Tartars’ image goes hand in hand with a new Europe which, after having been through two worldwide wars, having witnessed the claims of decolonization and after having digested the Freudian concept of « civilisation and its discontents », rethinks its own concept of barbarity and Otherness
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
