Les dispositifs d’éducation à l’image en France : comment résister à l’institutionnalisation pour repenser la démocratie culturelle
Get PDFL’action culturelle est un secteur où le souci de la réflexion théorique, de la formation et du débat critique se manifeste de longue date, et où l’on se préoccupe aussi de réévaluer les politiques menées et les méthodes utilisées. Cela ne veut pas dire que le secteur échappe aux idées toutes faites, aux conformismes, aux routines, voire aux tentations « réactionnaires ». Les vives réticences d’une partie de la profession aux tentatives de placer les cultures vidéoludiques et multimédiatiques..
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
The aesthetics of Otherness in the cinema of David Lean, From The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957) to A Passage to India (1984)
No full textCette thèse porte sur l’émergence, puis l’évolution, d’une esthétique de l’altérité dansle cinéma de David Lean à partir du Pont de la Rivière Kwaï (1957) et jusqu’à sondernier film réalisé, La Route des Indes (1984). Elle adopte également la perspectived’une réévaluation qualitative du cinéma du cinéaste britannique, en mettant au jourles fondements idéologiques qui expliquent sa marginalisation dans le contextefrançais.Cette thèse interroge la façon dont le cinéma de David Lean contribue aux définitionsanthropologiques et culturelles de l’identité occidentale, dans sa relation avecl’altérité orientale. Le rôle des représentations de genre, de race et de classe estexaminé en lien avec les techniques cinématographiques dans la perspective de faireapparaître l’historicité et l’ethnicité des modalités de la figuration.L’analyse détaillée des quatre films que David Lean a consacrés à la représentationde l’histoire impériale britannique s’accompagne d’une étude précise du contexte deproduction de chacun des films. De plus, les filiations cinématographiques sontprises en compte afin de situer les films dans une histoire des représentations del’altérité. Le rôle central de la relation coloniale et postcoloniale dans l’élaborationd’une esthétique de l’altérité est envisagé tout au long de la période étudiée.Cette thèse aboutit à la conclusion d’une esthétique de l’altérité structurée par lanécessité pour la civilisation occidentale d’intégrer la notion de crise dans unprocessus de reconfiguration permanent. Cette nécessité émerge avec lesindépendances et la décolonisation. Elle s’impose à partir des années 1970 avecl’autonomie des sujets dominés qui composaient jusque-là l’Orient imaginaireThe topic of this thesis is the emergence and the subsequent evolution of anaesthetics of otherness in the cinema of David Lean, starting with The Bridge on theriver Kwai (1957) and up to A passage to India (1984), the very last film he made.This thesis seeks as well a qualitative reassessment of the British filmmaker's work,unearthing thereby the ideological factors behind his marginalization in the contextof French critical discourse.This thesis explores the ways in which David Lean's work contributes to theanthropological and cultural definition of Western identity in its relationship withOriental otherness. I examine the role played by gender, race and classrepresentations in relationship with cinema techniques in view of shedding light onthe historicity and ethnicity of modes of figuration.The detailed analysis of the four David Lean films taking as their topic therepresentation of British imperial history is complemented by a meticulous study ofeach film's context of production. Furthermore, I consider cinematic genealogies soas to situate the films within a history of the representation of otherness. I take intoaccount the central role played by colonial and postcolonial relationships in thedevelopment of an aesthetics of otherness throughout the historical period underconsideration.This thesis reaches the following conclusion regarding an aesthetics of otherness :namely, that it is structured by the necessity for Western civilization of incorporatingthe notion of crisis in a process of constant reconfiguration. Emerging with liberationmovements and decolonization, this necessity imposes itself from the 1970s onwardsfollowing the independence of dominated subjects who, up to then, had been makingup an imaginary Eas
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
