La Dissertatio de antiquis romanorum monumentis de Pierre-Joseph Heylen, premier inventaire des vestiges romains situés dans l’espace belge (1783)
Full text linkIn 1782, Pierre-Joseph Heylen, a member of the “Académie impériale et royale de Bruxelles”, presented a dissertation entitled Dissertatio de anti-quis romanorum monumentis. The author aimed to identify all the Roman remains discovered in the Austrian Netherlands and the Prince-Bishop-ric of Liège (present-day Belgium and Luxembourg). This dissertation was innovative and ambitious because it was the first “national” inventory of Ancient vestiges in that area. This geographical scope was in accordance with the historical works written by other academicians: at that time, most of them wanted to compose a “national” history of the Austrian Nether-lands. Heylen divided his dissertation into four chapters: introduction, roman coinage, antique roads and “monumenta” (inscriptions, architec-tural remains, vases...). Even if he observed by himself some vestiges and he got in contact with local antiquarians, his approach of the archaeologi-cal remains was not so innovative: the descriptions of the items found were brief and vague and he furnished only a few illustration
Étude et réception de l’Antiquité romaine au siècle des Lumières : Introduction
Full text linkTiré de l'introduction 'Si le XVIIIe siècle est généralement qualifié de « siècle des Lumières », cette période est également profondément marquée par un véritable « retour à l’antique » au sein des différents États européens. L’influence de l’Antiquité classique y est en effet bien visible, notamment dans le domaine de l’esthétique et du goût, comme en témoigne le développement du néoclassicisme. Elle occupe par ailleurs toujours une place fondamentale au sein de l’éducation des jeunes gens issus des milieux sociaux favorisés. Cette période est, par exemple, celle de l’apogée de la pratique du « Grand Tour », périple européen conduisant les jeunes gens fortunés jusqu’à la péninsule italienne afin d’y admirer les plus remarquables antiquités'
A Journey into the Past:John Durant Breval and the Roman Antiquities of the Dutch Republic and the Austrian Netherlands (1726)
No full textIn 1726, John Durant Breval (ca. 1680-1738) published the first part of his Remarks of several parts of Europe relating cheefly to the history, antiquities and geography of those countries. This work, which is both a travel guide and a scholarly work, stands out from the rest of the travel literature of its time because of the importance the author gave to the ancient history of the regions he traveled through, describing the origins of the localities and the antiquities that were observable there. The analysis of the chapters devoted to the Dutch Republic and the Southern Netherlands is particularly interesting, as these regions were not known for their 'antiquities': most of the descriptions and reflections proposed by the author are original and reflect the interests of the scholarly community in the first half of the 18th century. After presenting the work and its author, this article sheds light on Breval's main concerns: the denunciation of local traditions, the establishment of correspondences between ancient and modern geography, and the description of the most notable antiquities of this region.In 1726, John Durant Breval (ca. 1680-1738) published the first part of his Remarks of several parts of Europe relating cheefly to the history, antiquities and geography of those countries.

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
Antiquitates et Lumières. Étude et réception de l’Antiquité romaine au siècle des Lumières
No full textSi le XVIIIe siècle est généralement qualifié de « Siècle des Lumières », cette période se caractérise également par un véritable « retour à l'antique » au sein des différents États européens. Cet engouement, conforté par de nombreuses découvertes archéologiques dont les premières fouilles àHerculanum et à Pompéi (1738 et 1748), se manifeste notamment dans le domaine des recherches portant sur l’Antiquité romaine : les textes des Anciens font l’objet d’une relecture critiquetandis que les antiquaires, ces érudits collectant et étudiant les objets et les monuments antiques, développent de nouvelles approches permettant d’analyser les traces archéologiques.L’étude et la réception de l’Antiquité romaine au cours du XVIIIe siècle constituent un domaine de recherche relativement peu traité mais particulièrement riche et fécond : il fournit un éclairage intéressant non seulement sur l’histoire intellectuelle du Siècle des Lumières mais aussi sur l’histoire politique – les autorités « éclairées » prenant à coeur de mettre en valeur le passé romain des régions qu’elles administraient – et sur l’histoire sociale de cette période – les antiquaires travaillantsouvent collectivement dans le cadre d’académies ou par le biais d’une correspondance.Ce volume propose un panorama vaste mais structuré illustrant les liens existant entre antiquarisme, histoire romaine et Lumières

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
