    La naissance d’un mythe. La nouvelle revue française dans le champ littéraire de la Belle Époque

    À l’heure du centenaire de LaNRF, Maaike Koffeman retourne aux origines de cette revue légendaire pour montrer comment elle a, dès le départ, posé les fondements de son hégémonie ultérieure. La qualité des textes publiés ne suffit pas à expliquer cette réussite : il faut également prendre en compte l’organisation matérielle de la revue et de sa maison d’édition. Les correspondances des rédacteurs montrent qu’ils ont employé toutes sortes de stratégies pour acquérir du capital symbolique et obtenir une position dominante dans le champ littéraire. Une étude systématique des textes publiés dans la revue, combinée avec une analyse sociologique de son fonctionnement, permet de mieux comprendre comment LaNRF a pu devenir « la rose des vents de la littérature française » (François Mauriac).As the legendary Nouvelle revue française celebrates its hundredth anniversary, Maaike Koffeman demonstrates how the founders of this literary review laid the foundations of its success in the years preceding the First World War. The literary quality of the published texts does not suffice to explain its legendary reputation : the material organisation of the NRF and its publishing house has to be taken into consideration as well. The letters exchanged between the review’s editors prove that they employed conscious strategies in order to acquire symbolic capital and make their review into a dominant literary institution. The combination of a systematic account of the contents of the NRF with a sociological analysis of its interaction with the other players in the literary field thus leads to a better understanding of the review’s earliest history

    Entre Classicisme et Modernité : La Nouvelle Revue Française dans le champ littéraire de la Belle Epoque

    Get PDF
    The literary review La Nouvelle Revue Française enjoys an enormous prestige in France. In Entre Classicisme et Modernité, Maaike Koffeman explores the origins of this legend of French literary life by means of a historical, literary and sociological analysis of the first years of the review s existence (1908-1914). She shows that the NRF owes its remarkable success not only to its high literary standards, but also to the strategies employed by its editors in order to conquer a dominant position in the French literary world. The review s programme based on a modern classicism allows it to publish the best authors of its time and to contribute to the regeneration of the French novel. This study places the artistic efforts of the review in an international context, showing that British novelists were a main source of inspiration for the concept of the roman d aventure, which played an important role in the development of early literary modernism. Maaike Koffeman thereby offers a more complete and more objective evaluation of the achievements of a review that is said to have changed the course of French literature

    Parijs is een meervoud. Adriaan van Dis en de heruitvinding van de Hollander in Parijs

    Item does not contain fulltextParijs, tot halverwege de 20ste eeuw het onbetwiste centrum van de Europese cultuur, heeft van oudsher een grote aantrekkingskracht uitgeoefend op Nederlandse kunstenaars en schrijvers. Velen van hen verbleven er kortere of langere tijd, op zoek naar internationale erkenning. De vrijere seksuele moraal en het gunstige artistieke klimaat maakten de stad in vergelijking met Nederland tot een kunstenaarsparadijs. Deze ontwikkeling kreeg haar weerslag in het literair-journalistieke genre van de Hollander in Parijs dat in de 20ste eeuw tot grote bloei kwam, mede dankzij de groei van het toerisme naar Frankrijk. Wanneer Adriaan van Dis zich aan het begin van de 21ste eeuw in Parijs vestigt, getuigt hij van de blijvende aantrekkingskracht van de stad. Dit artikel laat zien dat Van Dis zich onderscheidt van zijn voorgangers door de gevestigde clichébeelden van Parijs kritisch te bevragen en ook de duistere keerzijde van het grotestadsleven te tonen

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Get PDF
    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

    Variations on the Author

    “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 PDF
    We 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
