Mediating Africa Today Through the Cinema of Yole!Africa:A Conversation Between Matthias De Groof and Petna Ndaliko Katondolo
No full textThis conversation pursues the question of how Africa can be mediated. Through a discussion between the filmmakers Matthias De Groof and Petna Ndaliko Katondolo about their respective works produced at Yolé!Africa—Ndaliko Katondolo’s films Mahere (2023) and Kapita (2017) on the one hand, and De Groof’s film Tantalum (produced by Ndaliko Katondolo, 2024) on the other—a light will be shed on the importance of media-geology and geo-mythology in relation to the ways in which Africa is mediated. YoléAfrica is an educational center located in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, which serves as an empowering hub for film activism, as well as provides a platform for community development through its arts education and agro-liberation initiatives (it houses Yolé!Ekolojia). The center organizes the annual Ishango Encounter, an international film festival, and otherwise gathers Congolese activists and filmmakers to create awareness and healing through film

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
Tributes to Patrice Lumumba in the Poetry of the American Continent, 1961-1966.
No full textThe assassination of Patrice Lumumba prompted an outcry of literary protestations in several Western European countries, in North America, in South American, in Central America, but also in Asian countries such as the Popular Republic of China and Indonesia. Many writers felt the irresistible urge to express themselves, each in their own language: Haitians in French, Brazilians in Portuguese, Cubans in Spanish and North Americans in English. This study focuses on poems from the American continent from 1961 to 1966. Within the ranks of the poets, some great figures of négritude are included, such as the Haitians Jean-Fernand Brierre, Bonnard Posy, Daniel Blérald, René Depestre and Langston Hughes from North America
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
