The logic of sensible qualities in Claude Lévi-Strauss's thought
No full textDans Le Cru et Cuit (1964), Claude Lévi-Strauss présente le programme de l'anthropologiestructurale comme centré sur l'étude du fonctionnement libre de l'esprit humain, indépendamment de toutecontrainte extérieure. La pensée sauvage (1962) propose au contraire une étude des classificationstraditionnelles à l'aune des divers procédés et moyens de penser particuliers qui les caractérisent. LéviStrauss y fait usage du concept pluriel de logiques concrètes, a priori étranger à l’étude des invariants del'esprit humain. Cette thèse d’épistémologie des sciences humaines vise à éclairer les tensions qui se tiennententre cette ambition centrale de l'anthropologie structurale et les analyses originales de 1962. A traversl’étude exégétique et historique d’un corpus d’œuvres et d’archives, elle avance que La pensée sauvageréinvestit certaines analyses structurales classiques dans une perspective pratique, tant de manière analogiqueet propédeutique que philosophique, de la présentation de la pensée mythique comme un bricolageintellectuel au refus de l’opposition sartrienne entre raison analytique et raison dialectique. Les lecturesphilosophiques et anthropologiques de l’ouvrage sont discutées, avec une insistance particulière sur saréception en termes de « logique du sensible », et sa critique par Jack Goody. Ce travail établit que leslogiques concrètes ne peuvent être réduites ni à une logique immanente à la sensation, ni aux seules lois de lapensée, et sont distinguées comme logiques des signes (et non des concepts) par le fait qu’elles ne font pasabstraction du référent et ses propriétés : elles en font un usage symbolique (partie I). L’insistance de Lapensée sauvage sur les procédés, moyens de penser, contraintes et démarches conscientes qui caractérisentcertaines traditions intellectuelles est éclairée à partir d’un double contexte, philosophique et polémiqued’une part, anthropologique et éditorial de l’autre : elle les rapporte à la genèse de l’ouvrage, entre la longuepréparation d’une réponse à la Critique de la raison dialectique de Jean-Paul Sarte (partie II), et ladissolution des dernières difficultés posées par le « totémisme » à la suite du Totémisme aujourd’hui (partieIII). L’opposition entre les contraintes externes des moyens de penser et les lois internes de l’esprit humainest enfin remise en question, parallèlement au refus par Lévi-Strauss de l’opposition entre l’esprit et lemonde (partie IV). La pensée sauvage permet ainsi de cerner des propriétés structurales immanentes auxpratiques, et constitue moins une rupture inconciliable avec le programme de l’anthropologie structuralequ’un moment de réinvention : elle offre une clé de lecture pour concevoir autrement ses analyses les plusclassiquesIn The Raw and the Cooked (1970 [1964]), Claude Lévi-Strauss presents the programme of structuralanthropology as centred on the study of the free functioning of the human mind, independent of any externalconstraints. Wild thought (2021 [1962]), on the other hand, proposes a study of traditional classifications inthe light of the various processes and particular ways of thinking that characterise them. Lévi-Strauss makesuse of the plural concept of concrete logics, a priori foreign to the study of the invariants of the human mind.This thesis in the field of the epistemology of the human sciences aims to shed light on the tensions betweenthis central ambition of structural anthropology and the original analyses of 1962. Through an exegetical andhistorical study of a corpus of works and archives, it argues that Wild thought reinvests certain classicalstructural analyses in a practical perspective, both analogically and philosophically, from the presentation ofmythical thought as an intellectual bricolage to the rejection of Sartre's opposition between analytical anddialectical reason. Philosophical and anthropological readings of the work are discussed, with particularemphasis on its reception in terms of the “logic of the sensible”, and its critique by Jack Goody. This workestablishes that concrete logics cannot be reduced either to a logic immanent to sensation, or to the laws ofthought alone, and are distinguished as logics of signs (and not of concepts) by the fact that they do notabstract from the referent and its properties: they make symbolic use of them (part I). Wild thought'sinsistence on the processes, ways of thinking, constraints and conscious approaches that characterise certainintellectual traditions is illuminated from a double context, philosophical and polemical on the one hand,anthropological and editorial on the other: it relates them to the genesis of the work, between the longpreparation of a response to Jean-Paul Sarte's Critique of Dialectical Reason (part II), and the dissolution ofthe last difficulties posed by “totemism” in the wake of Totemism Today (part III). The opposition betweenthe external constraints of the means of thinking and the internal laws of the human mind is finally calledinto question, in parallel with Lévi-Strauss's rejection of the opposition between mind and world (part IV).Wild thought thus makes it possible to identify the structural properties immanent in practices, andconstitutes less a break with the programme of structural anthropology than a moment of reinvention: itoffers a key to a different conception of its most classic analyse

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
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
