Sujet, mémoire et quotidien dans les récits de Valérie Mréjen
No full textWriter, visual artist and video artist Valérie Mréjen writes texts and screenplays that portray the everyday reality of her autofictional narrator and her characters. Everyday life, everyday incidents and mealtime routines, reading and grandparents' stories are, for example, among the subjects covered in the Trois quartiers trilogy (including Mon grand-père (Allia 1999), Agrume (Allia 2001), and Eau sauvage (Allia 2004), published together in 2005 by J'ai lu). Her discreetly autobiographical narratives continue in Forêt noire (POL 2012), a novel in which she recalls stories heard in the past, and in Troisième personne (POL 2017), in which she explores the changes in a family after the arrival of a child. In all her stories and novels, the author goes in search of the most intimate and concrete memories, which she reproduces in small narrative forms, recounting the most banal realities and the greatest truths of life and interpersonal relationships. Drawing on Henry Lefevbre's and Michel de Certeau's reflections on the everyday, as well as Michael Sheringham's, and reading Valérie Mréjen's narratives, the article explores the banality of the everyday in the light of the following questions: how does the narrator/speaker construct him/herself as a person by rubbing shoulders with the real? could we envisage a will of the narrator/speaker to be the subject of a narrative of his/her everyday life?Écrivaine, plasticienne et vidéaste, Valérie Mréjen écrit des textes et des scénarios qui mettent en scène la réalité quotidienne de sa narratrice autofictionnelle et de ses personnages. La vie de tous les jours, les petits incidents quotidiens et la routine des repas, les lectures et les récits des grands-parents sont, par exemple, parmi les sujets abordés dans la trilogie Trois quartiers (comprenant Mon grand-père (Allia 1999), Agrume (Allia 2001), et Eau sauvage (Allia 2004), publiés ensemble en 2005 par J’ai lu). Ses narrations discrètement autobiographiques se poursuivent ensuite avec Forêt noire (POL 2012), roman où elle se remémore d’histoires entendues dans le passé et dans Troisième personne (POL 2017) où elle sonde les changements intervenus dans une famille après l’arrivée d’un enfant. Dans tous ses récits et romans, l’autrice s’élance à la recherche des souvenirs les plus intimes et les plus concrets qu’elle reproduit dans des petites formes narratives, en racontant la réalité la plus banale et les plus grandes vérités de la vie et des relations interpersonnelles. À partir des réflexions sur le quotidien d’Henry Lefevbre et de Michel de Certeau ainsi que de celles de Michael Sheringham, par la lecture des récits de Valérie Mréjen l'article sonde la banalité du quotidien à la lumière des questionnements suivants : comment le sujet narrateur/locuteur se construit-il en tant que personne par le frottement avec le réel ? est-ce que nous pourrions envisager une volonté d’enquêter sur le sujet contemporain par le récit de son quotidien ? est-ce que le récit du quotidien peut raconter les personnes qui le vivent
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
