L’ESTHÉTIQUE DU QUOTIDIEN : PARADIGME DE L’ÉCRITURE DU SOI DANS PSYCHOPOMPE D’AMÉLIE NOTHOMB
Full text linkThe Aesthetics of Everyday Life: A Paradigm of Self-Writing in Psychopompe by Amélie Nothomb. Written in the first person, autobiography, conditioned by the autobiographical pact, does not appear, at a first glance, to be particularly flexible; autofiction, which allows for a certain liberation of the self, is also limited from this point of view, often consisting in a seemingly unfinished experiment, leaving the reader to want more. However, the territory of self-writing now offers fresh interpretive perspectives, thanks to the emergence of notions such as transbiography and autotheory. These allow us to better scrutinize the close links between the intimate and the “extimate”, questioning the interactions between the daily life of the narrative self and the factors that surround it: personal experiences, experiments, and memory locate the self in its contemporaneity through processes of trial and error. Singularity and everyday life break away from the banal and create an aesthetic experience of the uninhibited I, especially when it comes to story and narrative, thus allowing for a literature of the everyday. Through a reading of Amélie Nothomb’s Psychopompe, our aim is to show that the aesthetics of everyday life is a paradigm of feminine self-writing, combining transbiography and autotheory to explore the genesis of the writer and the text.
REZUMAT. Estetica vieții cotidiene: o paradigmă a scriiturii eului în romanul Psychopompe de Amélie Nothomb. Scrisă la persoana întâi, autobiografia, condiționată de pactul autobiografic, nu pare, la prima vedere, un gen foarte flexibil; autoficțiunea, care permite o anumită emancipare a sinelui, este, de asemenea, limitată din acest punct de vedere, constând de cele mai multe ori într-un experiment aparent nefinalizat. Cu toate acestea, teritoriul literaturii personale oferă perspective interpretative noi, datorită apariției unor noțiuni precum transbiografia și autoteoria. Acestea ne permit să analizăm mai bine raportul dintre intim și „extim”, chestionând interacțiunile dintre viața cotidiană, eul narativ și factorii care îl determină; experiențele individuale și memoria plasează, de asemenea, „eul” în propria-i contemporaneitate. Individualitatea și cotidianul se detașează de banal și creează o experiență estetică a unui „eu” naratorial dezinhibat, sursă a unei scriituri a cotidianului. Analiza romanului Psychopompe de Amélie Nothomb, ne va permite să demonstrăm că estetica vieții cotidiene reprezintă o paradigmă a scriiturii personale feminine, care combină transbiografia și autoteoria într-un demers de căutare a „eu”-lui auctorial, dar și a scriiturii înseși.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Perspectives sémiotiques sur le quotidien. Le cas de Tuer le père d’Amélie Nothomb
No full textThis article analyses how Joe Whip, the main protagonist in Tuer le père by Amélie Nothomb, negotiates magic and cheating through playing and lies.Si le quotidien est constructeur, il est aussi entrevu comme le territoire d’actions subies et pourtant produites de manière plus ou moins consentie. Lorsqu’on y voit des aspects contraignants, on l’associe à l’effort ou à l’ennui et à ce qui les organise : la répétitivité. Il est alors vécu comme un espace-temps frustrant, annihilant momentanément certaines libertés selon une régularité métronomique. En outre, le quotidien n’engage pas la seule personne à l’origine des actions qui le ponctuent. Une relation triadique se crée entre la propre expérience de la personne prise dans ce mécanisme et celle d’autrui. Or, qu’en est-il de ce quotidien volontairement érigé et mis en ruine par celui qui le vit au fur et à mesure de son invention à des fins machiavéliques adressées à un tiers, comme on l’observe dans Tuer le père d’Amélie Nothomb ? Tel est ce que Joe Whip, héros de la diégèse, s’applique à mettre en œuvre, en jouant indéfiniment sur l’expression du mensonge, moyen ouvrant sur la dichotomie bien/mal, symbolisée par l’opposition entre magie et triche, les deux activités auxquelles le héros s’adonne au travers d’un faux-self
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
