Symphonie du millénaire : The Sacred in the Profane
No full textDans cet article, Jonathan Goldman propose quelques observations personnelles au sujet de la Symphonie du millénaire, tout en tentant de cerner sa signification culturelle. Muni de la partition et d’un enregistrement, l’auteur tente une analyse de l’oeuvre qui rejette la distinction entre le sacré et le profane, entre le religieux et le laïc, et en fait un « objet culturel » d’une ampleur considérable.In this article, Jonathan Goldman makes some personal observations about the Symphonie du Millénaire and its possible cultural meaning. Rejecting the distinction between sacred and profane, between religious and secular, he attempts to analyze this work, armed with score and recording, as a cultural object of considerable significance
La migration numérique d’une oeuvre pionnière avec live electronics. Mesa (1966) de Gordon Mumma
No full textCet article résume les retombées d’un projet de reconstruction d’une oeuvre
pionnière de live electronics, à savoir Mesa (1966) du compositeur
étatsunien Gordon Mumma (né en 1935). Une reconstruction de cette oeuvre a été présentée
dans le cadre du festival Montréal/Nouvelles Musiques le 27 février 2017 par l’auteur et les
collaborateurs de cet article : Jonathan Goldman au bandonéon, Francis Lecavalier à la
conception informatique, et Ofer Pelz à l’interprétation de la partie électronique. Au cours
de cette « migration », l’oeuvre, fondamentalement analogique, a été reconçue pour un
équipement numérique contemporain avec le consentement du compositeur. S’inscrivant
nettement dans la lignée de l’École de New York cageienne, Mesa revêt un statut
ontologique curieux : elle est le produit d’une indétermination passablement radicale. Comme
c’est le cas pour l’oeuvre de Cage, Mesa et sa reconstruction numérique nous force
à repenser l’ontologie et l’épistémologie de l’oeuvre musicale.This paper reports on a project to produce a reconstruction of a pioneering work of
live electronics, Mesa (1966) by the U.S. composer Gordon Mumma (b. 1935). A
digital recreation of the work was presented at the Montreal/New Music Festival on
27 February 2017 by the author of this article and his collaborators: Jonathan Goldman
(bandoneon), Francis Lecavalier (programming) and Ofer Pelz (electronic performance). This
migration entailed a digital recreation of the fundamentally analog processes of the
original work, undertaken with the composer’s explicit consent. Emerging from Cagean
aesthetics, Mesa has a curious ontological status, since it is a product of a
fairly radical indetermination. As such, Mesa and its digital reconstruction
require an ontological and epistemological reconsideration of the musical work
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
