Pluralisme et universalisme: Comparison des plans national américains et français de lutte contre l\u27antisémitisme
No full textLes niveaux d’antisémitisme aux États-Unis ont atteint en 2024 leur plus haut niveau jamais enregistré, année pendant laquelle la majeure partie de la recherche pour ce mémoire a été menée. L’antisémitisme ne menace pas seulement la communauté juive ; il constitue souvent un signal d’alerte précoce de l’affaiblissement des fondements de la société démocratique dans son ensemble : la cohésion sociale, les droits humains et l’État de droit. Ce mémoire compare deux stratégies nationales contemporaines de lutte contre l’antisémitisme : la U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism (2023) et le Plan national de lutte contre le racisme, l’antisémitisme et les discriminations liées à l’origine (2023–2026) en France. En examinant les cadres idéologiques du libéralisme politique aux États-Unis et du républicanisme universaliste en France, cette étude retrace les racines historiques de ces conceptions et leur influence sur les attitudes nationales envers les protection des minorités. Elle propose une analyse de l’histoire et des moments clés vécus par les Juifs en France et aux États-Unis depuis leurs révolutions respectives jusqu’à l’époque contemporaine, afin de contextualiser la lutte pour la liberté religieuse et les enjeux de l’assimilation. Cette recherche examine comment l’idéologie d’État influence la conception et les objectifs des politiques de lutte contre l’antisémitisme. En définitive, ce mémoire évalue les forces et les limites de chaque stratégie nationale face aux formes contemporaines d’antisémitisme au XXIᵉ siècle et met en lumière les manières dont l’idéologie, l’histoire et la conception des politiques se croisent pour façonner les réponses contemporaines à l’antisémitisme.
Levels of Antisemitism in the United States reached their highest ever recorded in 2024. (The same year, most of this research was conducted). Antisemitism does not just threaten the Jewish community but is often the first sign of the undermining of the foundations of democratic society as a whole, breaking of social cohesion, human rights, and the rule of law. This thesis compares two contemporary national strategies to counter antisemitism: the U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism (2023) and France’s Plan national de lutte contre le racisme, l’antisémitisme et les discriminations liées à l’origine (2023–2026). By examining the frameworks of Political Liberalism in the United States and Universalist Republicanism in France, the study traces the historical roots of these ideologies and how they have shaped national attitudes toward minority protection. Following is an analysis of the history and key moments of the Jewish people in France and the United States since their respective revolutions to contemporary times to give context of the struggle of religious liberty and assimilation. This research explores how state ideology influences the design and goals of antisemitism policy. Ultimately, this thesis assesses the strengths and limitations of each national strategy in addressing the evolving forms of antisemitism in the 21st century and highlights the ways in which ideology, history, and policy design intersect in shaping contemporary responses to antisemitism
Alliance Israélite Universelle: Education & Communications Intern
No full textDuring the summer of 2024, I interned with The Alliance Israelite Universelle, a Jewish educational and advocacy organization in Paris, France. Immersed in a French-speaking environment, I enhanced my communication skills and contributed to projects, including alumni engagement and historical research. I gained valuable insights into French Jewish history, explored the organization\u27s vast archives, and connected this experience to my ongoing research on anti-semitism legislation in France and the U.S. This internship provided me with intercultural competence, strengthened my language skills, and continued my commitment to Jewish advocacy
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
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
