La circulation des orphelins au Saguenay entre 1900 et 1970
Get PDFLa circulation des orphelins au Saguenay entre 1900 et 1970À partir des histoires de vie de 26 veufs et veuves remariés entre 1902 et 1970 au Saguenay, dans la province de Québec, l'auteure recherche où et avec qui les orphelins issus des premiers mariages sont allés habiter durant le veuvage du parent survivant et après le remariage de ce dernier. En classant les orphelins selon leur sexe, le sexe du parent décédé, leur âge au décès, leur âge au remariage, le nombre de frères et sœurs qu'ils avaient, l'auteure conclut à des différences culturelles notables quant au sort résidentiel réservé aux orphelins de mère et aux orphelins de père, selon leur âge. Les discours des membres des familles de remariés révèlent aussi de meilleures relations entre les beaux-pères et les garçons de leur femme et entre les belles-mères et les filles de leur mari qu'entre les beaux-parents et leurs beaux-enfants de sexe opposé au leur. L'auteure met ce phénomène en relation avec le système de parenté de la communauté étudiée.The Circula tion of Orphans in the Saguenay Region between 1900 and 1970Using life histories of 26 widows and widowers remarried between 1902 and 1970 in the Saguenay region of Quebec, the author seeks to find where and with whom orphans born of first marriages went to live during the surviving parent's widowhood and subsequent second marriage. After classifying orphans by their sex, age, sex of deceased parent, age at death of parent, age at remarriage of parent, number of brothers and sisters, the author concludes that significant cultural differences exist between fatherless and motherless orphans, depending on their age, concerning where they eventually take up residence. By analyzing the discourse of family members, the author also finds that relations between stepfathers and stepsons and between stepmothers and stepdaughters are better than those between stepparents and stepchildren of the opposite sex. She shows how this phenomenon is related to the kinship system of the community being studied
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
Identité et noms de personne à Bois-Vert (Québec)
No full text55 RÉSUMÉ/SUMMARYIdentité et noms de personne à Bois-Vert (Québec)Après avoir examiné les contributions théoriques des psychanalystes, des linguistes et des anthropologues à la question de l'identité conférée à une personne à travers les noms qu'elle reçoit, qu'elle porte ou qu'elle donne, l'auteure offre ici une vue d'ensemble d'un système nominal québécois à partir d'une récente étude de terrain effectuée en 1982 dans un village saguenayéen. C'est en analysant chaque catégorie de nom, comme le suggérait Zonabend en 1980 pour les études onomastiques européennes, que l'anthropologue apporte des indications sur les patronyme et matronyme, sur le choix des prénoms et sur l'attribution des surnoms, pour proposer en conclusion des hypothèses sur le pouvoir des femmes et des curés dans la transmission d'une certaine forme d'identité collective villageoise.Identity and Naming in Bois-Vert (Québec)After first reviewing theoretical findings of psychoanalysts, linguists and anthropologists on the matter of the identity bestowed on individuals by the names received, born or used, the author offers an overview of a Québec naming system based on a 1982 field study in a Saguenay village. By analyzing each category of name, as proposed by Zona-bend in 1980 for European onomastic studies, the anthropologist develops indices on the patronymic and matronymic, on the choice of first names and the assignment of surnames, and finally suggests hypotheses on the respective power of women and clergy in the transmission of a particular form of collective village identity
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
Les cercueils de la maison funéraire Germain Lépine à Québec. La vitre du dernier regard : 1845-1945
No full textL’auteure pose un regard neuf sur l’évolution des cercueils à Québec à partir du milieu du xixe siècle. Après avoir découvert deux spécimens en bois munis d’une vitre conservés de génération en génération par la famille de Cécile et Robert Lépine, elle consulte les archives de la maison funéraire Germain Lépine fondée en 1845 dans le quartier Saint-Roch et ayant eu sa place d’affaires au 715 rue Saint-Vallier Est jusqu’en 1975. Sa démarche permet de retracer différentes catégories de cercueils et de discerner le rôle que ceux-ci jouaient dans les rites mortuaires, notamment ceux des enfants et des adolescents.The author of this article takes a fresh look at the evolution of caskets in Québec City since the mid-nineteenth century. Having discovered that several generations of the Cécile and Robert Lépine family handed down two wooden caskets that each included a glass window, she consulted the archives of the Germain Lépine Funeral Home, founded in 1845. It stood at 715 Saint-Vallier East in the Saint-Roch district of Québec City until 1975. Her enquiry has uncovered different categories of caskets and also the roles they played in funeral rites, most notably after the deaths of children and adolescents
