Traverses et misères dans les contes et dans la vie : Essai de systématisation d’un réflexe de chercheure
Get PDFSelon les conteurs rencontrés par l’auteure dans les années 1970, les contes merveilleux sont des « histoires de traverses » ou des « histoires de misères », que la plupart avaient appris en mémorisant les « go » et les « stops » des trajectoires des personnages. Ces conteurs vivaient ces contes comme la traversée, remplie de risques et de difficultés, d’un monde imaginaire à visualiser d’un point de départ à un point d’arrivée. Ces traversées résonnaient sans doute dans leur propre vie comme leur vie résonnait dans leurs contes. Ce faisant, ils se transmettaient des récits structurés pleins d’un sens que nous ne finissons jamais d’épuiser. En marge des travaux de typologie qui aident les chercheurs à relier entre eux « tous les contes qu’il y a au monde », l’auteure s’interroge sur ce que nous pouvons apprendre en abordant de façon topographique, voire topologique, les contes qui nous ont été ainsi transmis. Elle détaille dans cet article comment le réflexe topologique qu’elle a développé en étudiant les contes nourrit maintenant son rapport au monde, de même qu’elle tente une systématisation de ce réflexe de chercheure pour qui des constellations de sens figurés et de sens propres entrent parfois en coïncidence sur de riches séquences.According to the storytellers the author encountered in the 1970s, great tales are “stories involving crossings” or “stories involving misery” that many of them had learned by memorizing the “goings” and the “haltings” along the characters’ paths. These storytellers lived these tales like the crossing, filled with risks and difficulties, of an imaginary world to be visualized from the beginning to the end. These crossings undoubtedly resonated in their own lives just as their lives resonated in the tales. As such, they have transmitted structured accounts that are full of meaning that is inexhaustable. Along with the typology work that helps researchers link “all the tales that exist in the world”, the author wonders what we can learn from approaching tales that were transmitted to us from a topographic, or even topological, point of view. In this article, she describes how the topological reflex that she has developed by studying tales now nurtures her relationship with the world. She also attempts to systematize her “researcher’s reflex”, to sometimes catch constellations of figurative meanings and literal meanings coinciding in rich sequences
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
Lettre d’amour à Hilaire Benoît
No full textIl arrive que des liens humains importants et déterminants se nouent entre chercheurs et informateurs. Il arrive que la transmission réciproque des savoirs dépasse les rôles respectifs et déborde dans la vitalité même de l’existence humaine. Cette lettre d’amour à Hilaire Benoît, conteur, ayant vécu à Tracadie, Nouveau-Brunswick, a été lue lors de la table ronde « L’ethnologue et la société » du Colloque sur « L’ethnologie des francophones en Amérique. 1944-1994. Bilan et perspectives » à Québec, le 11 septembre 1994. Elle fait le bilan d’une telle relation et d’une telle expérience de transmission de savoirs, du point de vue de l’ethnographe engagée dans sa société.From time to time, an important, life-altering bond is established between fieldworker and informant; the reciprocal transfer of knowledge transcends each person’s respective role to become part of the essential vitality of human existence itself. This love letter to Hilaire Benoît, a story-teller who lived in Tracadie, New Brunswick, was first presented during the Round Table “L’ethnologue et la société” which was part of the symposium entitled “L’ethnologie des francophones en Amérique. 1944-1994. Bilan et perspectives” held in Quebec City on September 11, 1994. The author takes stock of just such a relationship, summing up how she experienced the transfer of knowledge from the perspective of a socially committed ethnographer
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
