La saga des tableaux des Stations du chemin de croix de l'église Notre-Dame de Montréal. Un mystère résolu
No full textCet article présente une correspondance inédite qui fait état des démarches soutenues du sulpicien Jean-Baptiste Thavenet, en poste à Rome pour la période de 1843 à 1844, avec le supérieur du séminaire de Saint-Sulpice de Montréal et curé de Notre-Dame, Joseph-Vincent Quiblier, pour la réalisation du chemin de croix de l’église paroissiale. Il doit remplacer celui d’Antoine Plamondon, refusé pour des raisons d’orthodoxie liturgique, qui lui-même, remplaçait celui de James Bowman, non terminé. On y constate, entre autres, les difficultés de trouver un peintre, la suggestion répétée par Thavenet, dans ces circonstances, de le faire entreprendre à nouveau par Plamondon ou au pays, et les données qui confirment que le chemin de croix finalement réalisé en Italie n’est actuellement pas attribué au bon peintre. Les sources des tableaux envoyés à Montréal en 1847 sont également présentées. Il s’agit de gravures de Pietro Leone Bombelli, le père des deux auteurs des tableaux, les frères Gioacchino et Filippo Bombelli. La Fabrique de la paroisse Notre-Dame de Montréal récupère en 2005 ces tableaux qui avaient été vendus dès la fin du xixe siècle à la paroisse Saint-Henri. Cet article veut redonner leur place à ces tableaux méconnus, mais significatifs.This article presents unpublished correspondence between the Sulpician Jean-Baptiste Thavenet, stationed in Rome for the period from 1843 to 1844, and the superior of the seminary of Saint-Sulpice of Montreal and parish priest of Notre-Dame, Joseph-Vincent Quiblier, describing Thavenet's sustained efforts to acquire depictions of the Stations of the Cross in the parish church. The new paintings were to replace those of Antoine Plamondon, which were refused for reasons of liturgical orthodoxy, and which turn replaced unfinished paintings by James Bowman. Among other things, the correspondence records the difficulties of finding a painter, Thavenet's repeated suggestion to have Plamondon or another painter in the country undertake the work again under the circumstances, and the data that confirm that the Stations of the Cross finally created in Italy were not currently attributed to the right painter. The article also presents the sources of the paintings sent to Montreal in 1847, which are engravings by Pietro Leone Bombelli, the father of the two creators of the paintings, brothers Giacchino and Filippo Bombelli. In 2005, the Fabrique de la paroisse Notre-Dame de Montréal recovered these paintings, which had been sold at the end of the 19th century to the Saint-Henri parish. This article aims to restore these little-known but significant paintings to their rightful place in history
Nouvelles vocations et conversions : les biens religieux et la société civile québécoise au tournant du xxie siècle
Get PDFOn l’a prêché, on l’a ressassé, le Québec s’est construit et défini, en grande partie, dans le giron de l’église catholique. Des générations d’historiens ont heureusement nuancé ce fait, mais il demeure incontestable que l’originalité du paysage québécois en Amérique du Nord se caractérise encore par cette présence spécifique du marquage religieux, de la croix de carrefour au clocher. Les lieux de culte ou à vocation religieuse ont aussi été, traditionnellement, le principal chantier des arti..
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
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
