    No full text
    Gottmann's geographic literature spans over sixty years of activity -- between 1933 and 1994 -- and is composed of almost 400 titles, about twenty of which are books. Published mostly in French and English, his writings were translated in fourteen languages including Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Tamil, Dutch, Turkish, Slovenian, Japanese, Polish, Yiddish, German and modern Greek. Jean Gottmann's first official bibliography -- covering his writings between 1933 and 1984 -- was published in Patten, J. (ed.), 1983 in The Expanding City, Essays in honour of Professor Jean Gottmann, London-New York Academic Press, pp. xvii-xxxv. The same bibliography is entirely reprinted, with just one addition relative to 1983, in his volume of the same year: The Coming of the Transactional City, printed in College Park by the University of Maryland's Institute for Urban Studies. A selection of his publications dedicated to urban geography between 1949 and 1987 can be found in Jean Gottmann and Robert Harper, 1990, Since Megalopolis, the Urban Writings of Jean Gottmann, Baltimore and London, The Johns Hopkins University Press, pp. 269-280. Thanks to the partial opening of the Fond Gottmann, housed at the Bibliothèque Nationale de France Département des Cartes et Plans it was possible to verify his entire bibliography on the same notebook where Gottmann kept note of his own publications. Finally, the information in this bibliograhy was compared to the one available from the indexes of those thematic volumes that are selections of previously published essays from different scientific journals. In particular Etudes sur l'Etat d'Israel (1958), Essais sur l'aménagement de l'espace habité (1966), La cité invincible (1983) e Since Megalopolis (1990). We would like to thank Jean-Yves Sarazin, curator of the Fond Gottmann at the Bibliothéque Nationale de France in Paris, for his kind re-reading of the complete bibliography. We would also like to invite the reader that may be informed of recent and/or posthumous publications of Jean Gottmann - not included in this list - to contact the author

    La norme et le mouvant. Eléments pour une relecture de l'oeuvre de Jean Gottmann

    National audienceSince its rediscovery in the 1990's, the thought of Jean Gottmann had been received through a dialectical approach: the dualism iconography/circulation. Such a lecture which gives to the social and political norms a conservative role astonishes and tends to eclipse how Gottmann thought about the adaptative dynamics of the societies with a reference to the living world. This paper underlines the use of organic metaphors in the geographical language of Gottmann and shows that the references to Henri Bergson and Claude Bernard with which they are linked to are structuring influences to key notions of his work: the “carrefour” and the “milieu relationnel”. This new lecture of the work of Gottmann enlights the process of differentiation of space not as a result of a dialectic but as the ability of the societies to renew their spatial relations. In particular, the notion of "faculté d'accès" shows how much is important for a society to think about the use of its social and political norms – its "milieu relationnel" – in order to adapt itself to its international environment and the evolutions of its regional organization.Depuis sa redécouverte dans les années 1990, la pensée de Jean Gottmann a largement été reçue sous les traits d'une dialectique : le couple iconographie/circulation.

Cet article souligne l'usage des métaphores organiques dans l'œuvre de Gottmann et montre que les références à Henri Bergson et Claude Bernard qui les sous-tendent sont des influences structurantes pour des notions clés de sa pensée : le carrefour et le milieu relationnel. Cette relecture de l'œuvre de Gottmann invite à comprendre la différenciation de l'espace non comme un dépassement dialectique des contraires mais comme une aptitude des sociétés à la recréation territoriale. En particulier, la notion de "faculté d'accès" montre l'importance pour les sociétés de savoir entretenir un dialogue avec leurs systèmes normatifs – leur milieu relationnel – pour assurer leur adaptation à leur environnement international et aux évolutions de leur organisation régionale

    The complete bibliography of Jean Gottmann

    No full text
    With 414 entries, this work presents the most complete and updated version of the bibliography of Jean Gottmann (1915-1994), the French and cosmopolitan geographer, known for his studies of urban geography, and especially for those on the megalopolis of the Northeastern seaboard of the United States. In the 1990s, the posthumous rediscovery of his political geography, and in particular of his concept of iconography, opened the way for a reassessment of his pioneering role in cultural geography and to understand the transition from regional geography to the geography of networks. This bibliography thus constitutes a guide for the historian of geographical thought, indispensable for understanding the genesis and evolution of Gottmann’s overall work and, in general, an invitation to reread the writings of each author in the context of their broader scientific production as well as, of course, in the framework of the scientific and intellectual context of the time

    Professor Jean Gottmann has written Jour books in the past six or seven years which constitute his main contribution to geography, especially in the field of political and economic geography.Some of his ideas are and will be discussed ; they certainly bring forward new approaches to old problems and new techniques to old methods. His four books are analyzed and reviewed together : l'Amérique (1949), A Geography of Europe (1950), la Politique des États et leur géographie (1952), Virginia at mid-century (7955)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    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

    O Circuito Iconográfico de Jean Gottmann no Rio de Janeiro (1973)

    In Geography images can be powerful instruments for the development of reasoning, despite the more current usage that condemns them to the role of illustrations.The aim of this article is to approach images as primary analytical elements and explore their heuristic potential. The case under study involves the photos left by the geographer Jean Gottmann during his stay in Rio de Janeiro in 1973. The choice of this case is due both to the compositional elements present in the pictures and to the procedures used in their production. Three main types of movement were identified in the making of thesephotos: Gottmann’s circuit around the city, the camera’s displacements in the same point of view and the images made in motion. The study let to know that Jean Gottmann used images as research tools. The pictures are witnesses of the urbanization and urban sprawl of Rio de Janeiro.Na Geografia, as imagens podem ser poderosos instrumentos para o desenvolvimento do raciocínio, a despeito do uso mais corrente que as condena ao papel de ilustrações. O objetivo deste artigo é adotar as imagens como principais elementos analíticos e explorar todo o seu potencial heurístico. O caso em estudo envolve as fotografias deixadas pelo geógrafo Jean Gottmann durante sua estadia no Rio de Janeiro em 1973. A escolha desse caso se deve tanto aos elementos composicionais presentes nas fotografias, como aos procedimentos utilizados em sua produção. Foram identificados três principais tipos de movimento na realização dessas fotografias: o circuito de Gottmann pela cidade, os deslocamentos da câmera em um mesmo ponto de vista e as imagens feitas em movimento. O estudo revelou que Jean Gottmann utilizava as imagens como instrumentos de pesquisa. As fotografias são testemunhas eloquentes da urbanização e metropolização do Rio de Janeiro registradas por Gottmann

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “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
