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

Processus de formation de l'impression du client, primauté et récence dans la rencontre de vente du service : une application aux services financiers dirigés vers les particuliers
Get PDFL'effet du processus de formation de l'impression du client vis-à-vis d'un conseiller qui est trouvé dans l'interaction de vente relationnelle d'un service financier a été étudié. Spécifiquement, l'impression initiale (primauté) et l'impression finale (récence) du client ont été différenciées sur le plan de leur apport à la qualité perçue du service, à la satisfaction, à la confiance du client et à sa perception de l'expertise du conseiller financier. La présente étude a été développée afin d'enrichir les connaissances actuelles sur la rencontre de vente comme interaction sociale et relationnelle complexe, et quant à cette perspective, de manière à jeter un éclairage nouveau sur les processus qui sont à l'œuvre dans l'évaluation que fait le client de la performance d'un service complexe. Au total, l'échantillon des observations analysées compte 534 dyades clients-conseillers financiers de trois institutions financières canadiennes importantes. La mesure a été réalisée à partir d'un questionnaire auto-administré. Des analyses de modélisation des équations structurelles ont permis de traiter les relations entre les construits. Il ressort que la qualité du service et la confiance sont principalement influencées par l'impression initiale, alors que l'évaluation de l'expertise et la satisfaction sont principalement influencées par l'impression finale.

Analysis of Mathieu Equation Stable Solutions in the First Zone of Stability
No full textAbstractThe paper presents the results of a homogeneous Mathieu equation studies. Mathieu equation solutions are oscillations, modulated in amplitude and frequency. In the computational experiments we found dependences of the given oscillations on the ratio of the coefficients. These dependences are shown in graphs that can be used for an approximate estimation of the Mathieu equation solutions without integration
Euro area governance: What went wrong in the euro area? How to repair it? Bruegel Policy Contribution 2010/05, June 2010
Get PDFBruegel Director Jean Pisani-Ferry focuses on the institutional response to the euro area crisis with the Van Rompuy Task Force being set up to reform economic governance. The task force is due to present its progress report shortly and the author examines two basic questions in this context– what went wrong in the euro area (and the lessons learnt from this) and consequently what are the three choices for reforming governance. He explains why implementation of existing rules need to be strengthened and why the Van Rompuy Task Force should revisit the fundamental principles on which the EMU is founded and resist the temptation to solely address divergences
