Les limites du visible: réflexions sur la représentation picturale de l'esclavage dans l'oeuvre de Rugendas et de Debret
Full text linkQuelles modulations la perspective artistique développe- t-elle au Brésil au milieu du XIX e siècle, pour représenter les secteurs populaires, et en particulier le monde esclave? Notre article part de cette question pour réfléchir sur quelques oeuvres picturales produites par les européens Johann M. Rugendas et Jean-Baptiste Debret. Nous y considérons particulièrement quelques planches présentes dans Viagem pitoresca através do Brasil (1835) de Rugendas, et dans Viagem pitoresca e histórica ao Brasil (1834-1839) de Debret. Nous nous centrons sur un corpus d'images paradigmatiques pour percevoir comment sont conceptualisés esthétiquement les secteurs populaires brésiliens (en particulier, les esclaves des "fazendas" et de la capitale). En effet, au Brésil, ces deux artistes abordent de manière explicite la thématique esclave, tout en adoptant une perspective de dénonciation malgré les pressions exercées par les institutions impériales. L'analyse critique de quelques images et des essais qui les accompagnent (écrits par les mêmes auteurs) permet de découvrir les difficultés éthiques et esthétiques que suppose l'appréhension de cet univers marginal. De notre point de vue, ces artistes remarquent que l'expérience esclave instaure un excès qui dépasse les limites éthiques et esthétiques de l'art (spécialement, en rendant impossible la stylisation pleinement romantique développée "sans conflits" face à un monde indigène plus facilement idéalisable).Fil: Mailhe, Alejandra.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Laugh With Me: Effects of Shortcoms on Students\u27 Motivation, Confidence, and Cultural Understanding in the French Classroom
Full text linkResearch has shown that authentic audio-visual materials have had a positive effect in foreign language classroom on learners\u27 motivation and their confidence. Studies have also shown that humor can aid learners\u27 memorization and improve their motivation, whether it is used in course material or through the instructor\u27s interaction with the learners. Few researchers have focused, however, on the effect of humorous audio-visual material on foreign language learning. The aim of this thesis is to research the effects of humor in authentic video programming on the learning of French. In particular it examines the genre of the shortcom and how its use in French language instruction can positively impact learners\u27 (1) motivation, (2) affective filter, and (3) cultural understanding. This study shows that humorous videos motivate students to learn the language, help them feel more comfortable in class, and develop tolerance toward the target culture. All of these factors make the short-com an ideal for promoting students\u27 interest in the target language and culture outside of the classroom and helping them to become lifelong learners
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
