    En 1978, Casterman lance (À Suivre), un mensuel de bande dessinée qui veut marquer « l’irruption sauvage de la bande dessinée dans la littérature ». Autour d’Hugo Pratt, Jacques Tardi, Jean-Claude Forest, Didier Comès, Benoît Sokal, Benoît Peeters et François Schuiten ou François Boucq, le rédacteur en chef Jean-Paul Mougin dirige un groupe d’auteurs de talents qui défrichent de nouvelles voies narratives. En 19 années d’existence et plusieurs formules, la revue marque un jalon essentiel dans l’histoire de la bande dessinée franco-belge, confirmé par la consécration de ses auteurs au festival d’Angoulême et ailleurs. Écrit à partir des exceptionnelles archives de la firme Casterman par une dizaine de chercheurs venus des études littéraires et culturelles, de l’histoire ou de la sociologie du livre, cet ouvrage offre une plongée dans une aventure éditoriale singulière. Multipliant les angles d’analyse, il montre comment un éditeur traditionnel s’empare de la bande dessinée adulte et s’impose au cœur du marché du neuvième art. Il retrace les multiples circulations de la revue en Europe et ailleurs, en particulier sa déclinaison néerlandophone méconnue, Wordt Vervolgd. Il montre comment la revue a pu constituer un creuset graphique et narratif unique où s’élabore une nouvelle mouture de bande dessinée adulte

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    Balancing on the “Clear Line”: Between Selecting and Being Selected:Independent Comics Publishing in the Netherlands: the Case of Joost Swarte and Oog & Blik

    No full text
    Taking its cue from selection systems theory, this paper discusses the capabilities of innovative comics artists and publishers to influence their environment in such a way that a certain level of artistic independence can be achieved or sustained. Increased chances of artistic autonomy depend on the artist and/or publisher’s awareness of the different contexts in which s/he can operate. In fact, in endorsing several roles and adapting to their environment, artists and/or publishers can force a change in selection systems (market selection, peer selection, and expert selection) and therefore improve their survival chances. This is illustrated by means of a case study of Joost Swarte and the Dutch publishing company Oog & Blik
