De l’hétérodoxie à l’orthodoxie : les espaces religieux de George Keith
Full text linkTel G. K. Chesterton, George Keith (1639-1716) donne à voir, du fait de ses conversions, la fluidité de la notion d’« orthodoxie » dans le monde britannique. Penseur du quakerisme dans l’Écosse de la Restauration caractérisée par la confrontation entre presbytériens et épiscopaliens, l’auteur définit la voie vers la révélation religieuse comme un voyage spirituel. Cet article se propose justement d’examiner ce voyage spirituel mouvementé en analysant à la fois sa mobilité religieuse (du quakerisme à l’anglicanisme), sa mobilité géographique (de la métropole britannique aux colonies américaines) ainsi que sa mobilité intellectuelle qui l’amène à côtoyer des penseurs aussi influents que William Penn, Henry More ou Gilbert Burnet. Au travers de l’exemple de cette figure marginale, se dessine la complexité d’un monde britannique qui, à la fin du XVIIe siècle, connaît une expansion géographique inédite tout en étant également le théâtre d’une recomposition de son paysage religieux, aux marges comme au centre.Not unlike G. K. Chesterton, George Keith (1639-1716)’s conversions allow us in this paper to demonstrate how fluid the concept of ‘orthodoxy’ was in the English-speaking world. A Quaker thinker and writer, the Scot converted to Quakerism after the Restoration, at a time when Scotland was divided by the conflict between Presbyterians and Episcopalians. He justified this choice by defining religious revelation as a ‘spiritual travel’. This paper examines his own tormented spiritual travel, showing the superposition of his religious mobility (from Quakerism to Anglicanism) to his geographical mobility (from Britain to the American colonies and back), to which is added his intellectual mobility, which brought him into the circles of influential thinkers such as William Penn, Henry More or Gilbert Burnet. Keith, a marginal figure, therefore exemplifies the complexity of the British world which underwent, at the turn of the seventeenth century, a spatial redefinition due to its expansion in the New World and a reshaping of its religious landscape from the centre to the margins
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

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
George Keith Batchelor's Interaction with Chinese Fluid Dynamicists and Inspirational Influence: a historical perspective
No full textGeorge Keith Batchelor (1920–2000, FRS 1957) was a towering figure in the twentieth century international fluid mechanics community. Much has been written about him since his death. This article presents an account of Batchelor's early interactions and relationships with Chinese fluid dynamicists and his continuing inspirational influence on them, which have not yet been documented in English. The theory of homogeneous turbulence, to which Batchelor contributed greatly, has had both indirect and direct inspirational influence on generations of Chinese fluid dynamicists, as they have sought to make their own contributions. Batchelor made visits to China in 1980 and 1983. His first ice-breaking trip to China in April 1980 is of special importance to Sino-British fluid mechanics and to China, even though Batchelor did not speak about turbulence but instead about his more recent research interest, microhydrodynamics. Batchelor's philosophical view of applied mathematics (fluid mechanics)—that ‘You have got to inject some physical thinking as well as mathematical thinking’—has had great inspirational influence on generations of fluid dynamicists in the UK, in China, and around the world. Batchelor's generosity of spirit and frugality of habit is warmly remembered by his students and Chinese friends. The author presents details of Batchelor's interaction with Chinese fluid dynamicists in the 1980s within the general context of the scientific relationship between China and the UK.</p
The Language of Historical Religious Controversies: The Case of George Keith and the Quaker Movement in England
No full textThis paper tests a proto-model of historical religious polemic discourse through a case study of a 1690s dispute between the schismatic former Quaker George Keith and Thomas Ellwood, a prominent Quaker representing the Quaker movement in England at that time. Thomas Gloning, Gerd Fritz, and others, suggest certain rhetorical strategies underlie functional and evaluative argumentation language typically employed. Findings contrast discourse elements common to the Keithian texts that do match some traditional characteristics, despite a superficial impression indicating otherwise, but show too where the model fails. An additional approach, not part of the traditional model, touches on linguistic politeness theory.</jats:p
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
