L’autotraduction légitimatrice : Lorenzo Cilda de Victor Manuel Rendón et le dédoublement de l’écrivain bilingue
No full textInternational audienceThe concept of bilingual writer, who creates as a double entity, is the consequence of the esthetical revolution engendered by Romanticism; the XXth century witnessed a lot of situations of bilingual writers, owing to an increased international mobility. This article deals with the case of Victor Manuel Rendon (1859-1939), born in Ecuador and educated in France, who became a writer in both France ans Spanish, his native tongue. Lorenzo Cilda, Rendon’s most achieved novel, in which can be found many autobiographical elements, is analysed from the point of view of differences and similarities of the French and Spanish text, as Rendon is the author of the translation himself

Self-Translating In-Betweenness: From Life on the Hyphen (1994) to Vidas en Vilo (2000) by Gustavo Pérez-Pirmat
Get PDFSelf-translation studies have given less critical attention to essays than to other literary genres such as novels or poetry. However, inasmuch as essays often display a subjective apprehension of collective values and ideas, their self-translations are a showcase of the complex interactions between cultures, languages and the individual. Gustavo Pérez-Firmat’s Life on the Hyphen (1994) provides an in-sightful analysis of the hybrid Cuban-American culture as part of the vibrant us melting-pot. Vidas en vilo, its Spanish “therapeutic” self-translation, introduces important changes in the original that reaffirm the author’s bond to the Spanish language and to his Cuban home-land. Paradoxically, translation as a “distancing mechanism” draws the author nearer to a native tradition of cultural syncretism. Self-translation exposes the author’s divided self, but, for a bilingual and bicultural subject, assuming duality is the only available means to wholeness
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
