Du Drag au PostDrag: la performance travestie à l’épreuve de l’ethnicité et de la classe
Get PDFL’objectif de cet article est d’examiner les limites du discours et des stratégies esthétiques du drag king, inspirées par la théorie butlérienne de Trouble dans le genre. Nous mettons l’accent sur le risque potentiel – mais réellement problématique – de la stigmatisation des hommes issus des minorités ethniques et des populations pauvres au sein de plusieurs actions drag kings. Enfin nous qualifions de post-drag les performances qui abordent les intersectionnalités du genre, de la sexualité, de la race et de la classe sans reproduire les stéréotypes de la suprématie hétérosexuelle blanche
Do Drag ao Pós-Drag: a performance travesti frente à etnicidade e à classe
No full textO objetivo deste artigo é estudar os limites do discurso e das estratégias estéticas da performance drag king, inspirados pela teoria butleriana em Problemas de gênero [Trouble dans le genre]. Enfatizamos o risco potencial – mas realmente problemático – da estigmatização de homens vindos de minorias étnicas e de populações pobres em diversas ações drag kings. Assim, qualificamos de pós-drag as performances que abordam as intersecionalidades do gênero, da sexualidade, da raça e da classe sem reproduzir os estereótipos da hegemonia heterossexual branca
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
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
Le corps abstrait d’une princesse nuwaubienne : l’extra-terrestre comme figure de l’altérité dans l’œuvre de Juliana Huxtable
Get PDFCet article procède d’une étude esthétique et sémiologique des autoportraits de Juliana Huxtable en princesse nuwaubienne afin de comprendre les enjeux de l’usage artistique de la figure de l’extra-terrestre dans son travail plastique. À partir d’une analyse des œuvres et des entretiens de l’artiste, nous établissons que l’autoportrait extra-terrestre d’Huxtable est, en premier lieu, une exploration philosophique et artistique de la notion de race, considérée comme une corporéité abstraite, mais aussi un outil d’affirmation politique, dans la mesure où la créature nuwaubienne apparaît comme une métaphore de l’altérité chez l’artiste afro-américaine. Enfin, nous constatons que l’artiste est également proche de la théorie queer lorsqu’elle aborde son identité intersexuée et transgenre en posant un regard critique sur la représentation de l’hermaphrodisme dans l’art antique qu’elle déconstruit avec les conceptions du genre de la société contemporaine et son esthétique afrofuturiste.This article stems from an aesthetic and semiotic study of Juliana Huxtable’s self-portraits as a nuwaubian princess in order to understand the stakes of the artistic use of the extraterrestrial’s figure in her work. From an analysis of the artworks and interviews of the artist, we esStablish that the extra-terrestrial self-portrait of Huxtable is, firstly, a philosophical and artistic exploration of the concept of race, considered as an abstract body, but also as a political affirmation tool, insofar as the nuwaubian creature appears as a metaphor for the otherness for the African-American artist. Finally, we notice that the artist is also close to queer theory when she approaches her intersex and transgender identity through a critical view of the representation of hermaphroditism in ancient art that she deconstructs, using the conceptions of gender in contemporary society and her afrofuturist aesthetics
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
La performativité du corps chez Deborah de Robertis. Ambivalences dans les espaces visuels du féminisme contemporain
No full textInternational audienceThis article focuses on the performances of Deborah De Robertis who invests the visual space of the museum in order to criticize the sexist discourses of the art world that sexualize the female body in collections and current exhibitions. Our article aims to analyze the power relations the artist establishes with artistic institutions; it tries to understand how the artistic exhibition of her body/sex challenges the sexual passivity of women within artistic representation. We will also demonstrate that De Robertis’ performances make sense in relation to the corporeal practices of feminist art introduced in the 1960s, while recalling that this work adopts a contemporary posture that borrows its aesthetics from the contemporary feminist activism of Femen. Finally, we proceed to a critical examination of the aesthetics we have described as « Femen-ist » and which seem to us to be a source of ambivalences in the work of De Robertis because of the fascination she exercises on the media.Cet article s’intéresse aux performances de Deborah De Robertis qui investissent l’espace visuel du musée afin de critiquer les discours sexistes du monde de l’art qui sexualisent le corps féminin dans les collections et les expositions actuelles. Notre exposé se donne pour objectif d’analyser les rapports de force que l’artiste instaure avec les institutions artistiques ; il tente d’établir en quoi l’exposition artistique de son corps/de son sexe permet de venir contester la passivité sexuelle des femmes dans les représentations artistiques. Nous démontrerons également que les performances de De Robertis s’inscrivent à la suite des pratiques corporelles de l’art féministe initiées dans les années 1960, tout en rappelant que ces travaux adoptent une posture contemporaine qui emprunte son esthétique aux militantismes contemporains des Femen. Nous procèderons par ailleurs, et pour finir, à un examen critique de cette esthétique que nous avons qualifié de « Femen-iste » et qui nous semble être source d’ambivalences dans l’œuvre de De Robertis du fait de la fascination qu’elle exerce sur les médias
