Mapping connections through co-publications. The IMPACT initiative at ‘Lorraine University of Excellence’ in France
No full textInternational audienceIn an era defined by interconnectedness and the pursuit of solutions to complex global challenges, research collaboration has emerged as a cornerstone of innovation and progress. Understanding the dynamics of co-publications can provide valuable evidence for demonstrating the societal relevance and impact of interdisciplinary research, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of grant proposals and research initiatives. This study examines the extent of connections in co-publications under the IMPACT initiative at “Lorraine Université d’Excellence”, France, over the period 2016-2024. The aim of the IMPACT framework was to fund projects with a high scientific added-value. Many of the research topics addressed within the IMPACT Initiative, such as environmental sustainability, public health, and social inequalities, were indeed of global significance. Utilizing bibliometric data from HAL and OpenAlex databases, we provide insights into the collaborative networks and disciplinary integration within these projects, taking a particular interest in co-publications as a means to study: (i) co-authorship of papers (individual level), (ii) multi-laboratory collaborations (institutional level), (iii) interdisciplinarity in research teams. Our study underscores the increasing number of multi-laboratory and multi-author publications as well as the diversity of disciplines involved. However, it also points to the limitations and challenges of this interdisciplinarity. The role of humanities and social sciences (HSS) in collaborative research endeavors is also discussed
Erasing the object : sculptural manoeuvres into the sublime
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 63-85).During the Spring of 1969, as if adopting the guise of the explorer/adventurer of yesteryear, the American artist Robert Smithson (1938 - 1973) and his artist-wifeNancy Holt (1938 - )2 travelled to the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico (Roberts 2000: 552).Over a century earlier, in 1841, the American 'travel writer' John Lloyd Stephens(1805 -1852)3 had embarked on a similar voyage to the Yucatan peninsula and documented his encounters in his then celebrated book Incidents of Travel in Yucatan(1843). Smithson, aware of Stephens' travels and book, published his own account of his experiences on the Yucatan peninsula in an essay wryly entitled 'Incidents of Mirror-Travel in the Yucatan41 in the September 1969 edition of the periodical Artforum
Lorraine Hansberry and the drama of human affirmation, 1973
No full textThe primary intent of this thesis is to explore Lorraine Hansberry's dramatic efforts in order to illuminate some aspects of her artistic endeavor, with particular emphasis on the discovery of her assessment of human nature. An attempt has also been made to relate that assessment to her literary creed. The plays are analyzed through a discussion of plots, characters and themes. An examination of these three elements of the drama shows how Miss Hansberry used this medium as a vehicle for affirming the human possibilities and positive potential of all mankind. The primary sources were Lorraine Hansberry's five plays: A Raisin in the Sun, The Sign in Sidney Brusteins Window, Les Blancs, The Drinking Gourd, and What Use are Flowers? Secondary sources included critical reviews of the stage production of the plays and articles written about Miss Hansberry as an artist
