    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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

The spectra cover a wavenumber range from approximately 2600cm12600 cm^{-1} to 3600cm13600 cm^{-1} at a resolution of 0.01cm10.01 cm^{-1}.

    Insularity as a critical mean to decypher literature : Patrick Chamoiseau, Ananda Devi, V. S. Naipaul

    No full text
    Les littératures caribéennes et océano-indiennes des dernières décennies ont mis en lumière, par le trajet poétique, l’ambivalence inhérente à la circonscription de la réalité géographique insulaire qui permet d’accéder à la conscience îlienne. L’insularité s’impose alors comme le motif contenant le lancinement géographique mais également mémoriel. Lieu duquel surgit l’imaginaire, l’île est instaurée en tant que terreau commun des textes de Patrick Chamoiseau, Ananda Devi, V. S. Naipaul qui, à travers le déploiement poétique, exhibent le tiraillement de l’ancrage et de la fuite, de l’enfermement et de l’ouverture. Ainsi, dans une approche diachronique, le dessein est de saisir l’inscription de cet élément fondateur de la poésie et de sa praxis afin d’entendre le dépassement initié par ces poétiques de la Mondialité, concept-clé de la philosophie poétique d’Édouard Glissant. L’édifice de Glissant irrigue, en effet, les textes, tantôt dans la résonance avec l’oeuvre de Naipaul, tantôt par le legs perceptible dans celles de Chamoiseau et de Devi. La poétique de la Relation constitue alors l’arsenal exégétique qui permet d’accéder aux propositions de contemporanéité des auteurs. Le traitement de la malemort, la fondation de l’ouvrage total, la praxis poétique de la monstruosité désaliénant le corps protéiforme, sont alors les imprévisibles générés. La création tend ainsi à s’affranchir des catégorisations et assignations, car elle est un écho au mouvement du monde.The Caribbean and Indian Ocean literatures of the last few decades has brought to light, through its poetic journey, the inherent ambivalence of the circumscription of island geographical reality, which allows access to the island consciousness. Insularity appears as the metaphor of a chronic pain caused by the torn between geographical and memory issues. The island, the place from which the imaginary emerges, is established as a common breeding ground for the texts of Patrick Chamoiseau, Ananda Devi and V. S. Naipaul who, through their poetic process, show the conflict of anchoring and escape, of confinement and openness. Thus in a diachronic approach, the aim is to grasp the inscription of this founding element of poetry and its praxis in order to hear the overtake initiated by these poetics of Mondialité, a key concept of Edouard Glissant's poetic philosophy. Glissant’s work echoes with Naipaul’s writing, as they are contemporaries, while Chamoiseau and Devi have inherited of Glissant’s poetic and philosophical thought. Then, the poetics of the Relation constitutes the exegetical arsenal that allows access to the authors'propositions of contemporaneity. The description of the malemort, the creating process of a memorial masterpiece, the poetic praxis of the monstrosity which release the body (physical, social, and literature), are the « unpredictable » generated. Creation thus tends to free itself from categorizations and assignments, because it is an echo of the movement of the world

All spectra were recorded using the 1-m McMath-Pierce Fourier Transform spectrometer located at Kitt Peak, AZ, USA and two temperature-controlled gas cells. The analysis was carried out using multispectrum fitting software\footnote{D.~C.~Benner, C.~P.~Rinsland, V.~Malathy Devi, M.~A.~H.~Smith and D.~A.~Atkins, \textit{JQSRT} \underline{\textbf{53}} (1995) 705-721.} and the Voigt, speed-dependent Voigt and Rautian line shape models. When using the Rautian model, we employed calculated narrowing parameters obtained from computed diffusion constants\footnote{J.~O.~Hirschfelder, C.~F.~Curtiss and R.~B.~Bird, \underline{Molecular theory of gases and liquids}, New York, Wiley and Sons, 1952.} for each of the absorber-perturber pairs CO-CO, CO-N2_2 and CO-O2_2. The experimentally retrieved temperature dependences of the line shape parameters are been compared with previous published results and with the results of calculations for CO-N2_2. We thank D.~Chris Benner for the Labfit software.
