    La transparence dans le financement des acteurs politiques

    Full text link
    La transparence dans le financement des acteurs politiques est en France récente. Elle ne constitue pas en tant que telle une règle juridique génératrice directement d’obligations mais est un objectif qui justifie ensuite un régime juridique prescriptif. La transparence se traduit alors par une accessibilité, mais limitée, à l’information financière, une sincérité renforcée de celle-ci et une maitrise des ressources disponibles. \ud Une fois cet objectif affiché, la question centrale est de rechercher le degré pertinent d’exigence des règles découlant de celui-ci. Dans cette perspective, la transparence financière doit être conciliée avec, d’une part, la liberté de faire campagne et, d’autre part, la responsabilité des acteurs politiques et la protection de leur vie privée. Elle est finalement un mythe qui serait celui de Sisyphe dans le sens où le système en vigueur peut toujours être renouvelé et amélioré

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    The notion of social democracy

    No full text
    La démocratie sociale bénéficie de définitions très diverses. Selon les auteurs, les textes et les époques, elle peut renvoyer à des éléments assez éloignés. Plutôt que d’étudier un de ces sens, ce travail a eu pour ambition d’expliquer cette polysémie et d’en faire ressortir la cohérence générale. Il apparaît alors que chacune des significations de la démocratie sociale peut se ranger derrière la définition suivante : la démocratie sociale est une démocratie d’individus situés, c’est-à-dire une conception de la démocratie qui s’appuie sur une définition matérialiste du peuple. Toutefois, une série de lois récentes en droit du travail menace la cohérence générale de la notion de démocratie sociale en modifiant l'un de ses éléments de définition.There are various ways to define social democracy. Depending on scholars, texts, times, it can refer to very different things. Instead of studying one of the various meanings of social democracy, this work aimed at explaining that polysemy and highlighting its overall consistency. It happens that each of the meanings of social democracy is related to the following definition: social democracy is a democracy of real individuals, namely a view of democracy which relies on a materialistic definition of the people. However, a part of recent labour laws threatens the overall cohesion of the notion of social democracy by undermining one of its meanings

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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
