DIONYSOS ET OGUN, DEUX DIVINITÉS ET DEUX MYTHES GÉMELLAIRES DANS L’IMAGINAIRE DE WOLE SOYINKA
No full textCet article se propose d’étudier les relations interculturelles existant entre la Grèce antique et l’Afrique noire, par le truchement deDionysos et d’Ogun qui sont deux mythes et deux divinités gémellaires dans l’imaginaire du dramaturge nigérian Wole Soyinka. Dans ce travail, nous montrons que l’écrivain nigérian trouve des parallèles entre ces deux divinités quant aux rôles qu’ils jouent, aux missions qu’ils accomplissent et aux pouvoirs cultuels qu’ils incarnent. Dieux du vin, de la végétation, de la procréation, de la fertilité et de la guerre aussi, Dionysos et Ogun, sont des divinités très présentes, affectionnées et vénérées dans leurs cultures respectives, et apparaissent, somme toute, comme deux faces d’une seule et même médaille
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
Tragédies nègres et tragédies grecques
No full textL objectif de cette thèse TRAGEDIES NEGRES ET TRAGEDIES GRECQUES est de comparer le théâtre tragique nègre dans ses rapports avec le théâtre tragique grec. Ayant constaté que la Critique littéraire et la Recherche universitaire accordaient moins d importance aux travaux de comparaison portant véritablement sur le théâtre de ces deux sociétés, cette étude pose la question de la nature et de la signification des tragédies nègres par rapport aux tragédies grecques. Car l on entend toujours parler de tragédies françaises, allemandes, italiennes dans leurs rapports avec les tragédies grecques, mais jamais de tragédies nègres, comme si le théâtre négro-africain était moins poétique et moins expressif que d autres. Trois pistes de réflexion constituent l ossature de cette étude. Dans un premier temps, nous traitons des conditions de production du tragique dans les sociétés colonisées d Afrique et des Antilles, c est-à-dire de l avènement du théâtre en général, et du théâtre tragique en particulier, dans les sociétés nègres, notamment à travers l instruction. Cette partie met l accent sur l Influence des auteurs antiques (Eschyle, Sophocle et Euripide) sur les dramaturges négro-africains: Jacques Rabémananjara, Aimé Césaire et Wole Soyinka. Cette Influence s est avérée positive parce qu elle est représentative de leurs univers littéraires tragiques. Le second point de cette étude ne se départ pas du premier. Il met l accent sur la manière dont les dramaturges négro-africains s approprient le modèle ancien pour créer un univers littéraire qui leur est propre; c est ce que nous avons nommé: les dramaturges nègres et l emprunt du canevas antique. Enfin, le troisième point se veut une étude de la structure des textes tragiques nègres par rapports aux textes grecs.The aim of this thesis NEGRO TRAGEDIES AND GREEK TRAGEDIES is to compare the tragic negro theatre to the tragic greek theatre. Given that literary critics and researches attach less importance to comparative analysis of the theatricals of these two societies, this work questions the nature and significance of Negro tragedies in relation to Greek tragedies. While allot had been done on French, German, Italian... tragedies in their relation to Greek tragedies, nothing has been heard on Negro tragedies, as if Negro-african theatre had been less poetic and less expressive. This work is based on three axes. First, the conditions of production of tragic in the colonised African societies and Caribbean s- the theatre in general and tragic theatre in particular. This section lays emphasis on the positive influence of ancients authors (Eschyle, Sophocle and Euripide) on the Negro-african dramatic writers (J. Rabémananjara, A. Césaire, W. Soyinka). Secondly, we look at how the Negro-african writers appropriated the ancient model for creating a new literary world of their own- Negro dramatic writers and the ancient models. Lastly we take a look at the study of the structure of tragic texts.STRASBOURG-B.N.U.S. (674821001) / SudocSudocFranceF
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
