Associations, témoignages, mythistoires
No full textDans cet article l’auteur, historien de métier, décrit son propre ouvrage autobiographique publié en 2013. Juxtaposée à l’histoire de la Grèce, la « micro-histoire » de sa famille depuis le XVIIIe siècle est parsemée d’incidents qui ont marqué l’enfance de l’auteur pendant l’Occupation et la guerre civile, puis ses années d’études et d’enseignement durant et après la dictature des colonels. Dans un esprit auto-dérisoire, l’article présente un historien qui transgresse les règles de son métier en écrivant une « mythistoire » et qui s’efforce d’exorciser sa culpabilité tout en succombant aux plaisirs d’une écriture libre et littéraire. Il découvre ainsi que lui ne fait pas de l’histoire, il fait de la prose ; ce qui le transporte vers une conclusion moins banale, que l’autobiographie est omniprésente dans la littérature et les beaux-arts. Il évoque donc, admiratif, G. T. di Lampedusa imaginant Le Guépard tout droit sorti de l’histoire de sa famille, Luchino Visconti identifiant un de ses aïeuls au Prince di Salina, voire encore Richard Strauss, dont les « Letzte Lieder », mélodie et vers, résonnent tel un testament nostalgique, harmonieux, sereinIn this article the author, a historian, describes the autobiography he published in 2013. This “micro-history” of his family, juxtaposed to the History of Greece since the eighteenth century, is studded with the incidents, which marked the author’s childhood during the Nazi occupation and the civil war, then his years of studying and teaching during and after the colonels’ dictatorship. In his article the author presents himself, ironically, as an historian trying in vain to exorcise his guilt for transgressing the rules of his discipline by writing a “mythistory”, whilst totally abandoned to the pleasures of a free, literary style. Having thus discovered that instead of doing history “il fait de la prose”, he goes on to a not so hackneyed conclusion: that autobiography is omnipresent in literature and the arts. He can thus evoke, in admiration, G. T. di Lampedusa who writes Il Gattopardo inspired by his family’s history, Luchino Visconti who obviously saw one of his ancestors in the person of Prince di Salina, and even Richard Strauss, whose “Letzte Lieder” resonate with their verses in a nostalgic, harmonious, serene testamen
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
Terre, paysans et pouvoir politique (Grèce, XVIIIe-XXe siècle)
No full textLand, Peasants and Economic Power — Greece, 18th-20th century.
After obtaining its independence in 1830, the new Greek State converted all Ottoman estates into "National Lands". The notables and merchants were neither much interested nor allowed to buy them, but kept their traditional control on taxfarming, trade and credit. The peasants kept their holdings and were allowed to expand to rented and illegally occupied public land. Meanwhile, traditional clientelism blended with early parliamentary democracy and universal male suffrage; and the peasants became a formidable electoral force. Such conditions favoured negotiation, compromise and privilege-sharing between the two politically dominant classes. The Bourgeoisie enjoyed tax-haven legislature, large subsidized credits, and unconditional protectionism, abandoning tax-farming and agricultural credit to the State. The Peasantry peacefully obtained land, tax, and credit reform, product subsidies and cancellation of debts — and this in just over eighty years (1871-1955). The lower urban classes, under- represented in Parliament, paid the bill through heavy taxes and waves of inflation. Their discontent was diverted to chauvinist and populist ideologies; contained through social mobility, civil service recruitments or other spoils; and occasionally suppressed by authoritarian regimes, brief and relatively mild. The interwar crises and World War II reversed this unstable equilibrium and led to a period of conflict and instability.Dertilis Georges B.

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
Terre, paysans et pouvoir économique (Grèce, XVIIIe-XXe siècle)
No full textLand Peasants and Economic Power.
Long-term physical and demographic conditions in Greece (15th-18th c.) favoured small-scale intensive agriculture and handicaped large-scale extensive farming depending on hired labour. Large property was further impeded when the Ottoman conquest instituted Islamic land-tenure law dispossessed the Church eliminated the Byzantine nobility and crippled bourgeois power. By the 18th c., rural revenues obtained by occupiers of large plots of land through direct exploitation were much lower than those accrued by these same people through letting, usufruct and emphyteosis contracts; by merchants and notables through moneylending and; by the State through taxation. With the growth of commercial agriculture in the 19th c. the small producers need for credit increased in balance with their re-investing capacity thus they continued sharing revenues with the merchants without having to share land as well .Moreover, merchants avoided direct investment in land and farming high risk and low yield venture compared with moneylending and trade. As only investment in new technology could overcome physical and demographic handicaps and increase productivity the system tended to self-reproductive unstable equilibrium Social conditions of sharing and compromise however by favouring reform counterbalanced these reproductive tendencies and prepared the system change.Dertilis Georges.

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
