Parcours phéno-génératif et sémiotique de l’espace dans Le Mont Damion d’André Dhôtel : vers une spaciose du sens
No full textLa thèse que nous soutenons dans cet article défend l’idée selon laquelle il existe, dans une perspective phéno-générative, un schème spatial directionnel au sein du roman Le Mont Damion par André Dhôtel (1964). Il s’agit d’une structure d’ensemble élémentaire qui oriente, dans un procès de signification spatial complexe, une axiologisation des dispositifs spatiaux et qui se décline en configurations spatiales directionnelles plus élaborées, configurations axées sur la catégorie [route]. Nous avons réalisé cette étude en sémiotique de l’espace post-greimassienne en partant d’une sémantique textuelle – inspirée des travaux de François Rastier – appliquée à l’oeuvre dhôtelienne. Le phénomène sémiotique majeur mis ainsi en exergue a été nommé spaciose du sens, ou sémiose spatiale, pour reprendre des termes proposés par Jacques Fontanille.This article defends the thesis that André Dhôtel’s 1964 novel, Le Mont Damion, contains – from a pheno-generative perspective – a spatial/directional schema. The latter consists in an overall elementary structure leading to a complex axiology of fictive spaces manifesting itself in a series of elaborate spatial/directional configurations based on the semantic category of the [road]. This post-Greimassian study of semiotic space was carried out from the textual semantics of François Rastier as applied to Dhôtel’s novel. The key semiotic phenomenon emphasized here is that “spaciosis of meaning” (“spaciose du sens”) or spatial semiosis, to borrow the terms used by Jacques Fontanille
Du discours aux représentations du coaching : sémiotique d’une pratique protéiforme
No full textLa sémiotique du coaching présentée dans cet article à partir d’observations de terrain sur les mots du coaching, met en évidence les représentations d’une pratique ouverte oscillant entre des pôles tensifs : posture frontale ou latérale du coach, pratique de l’urgence ou pratique de la maturation débouchant sur l’action, structure du coaché égocentrée ou allocentrée. Ces trois dimensions réunies, celles d’une deixis pragmatique, révèlent alors des formes sémiotiques du coaching, entre coaching coercitif et coaching réflexif, et autant de stratégies du coaché pour évoluer en milieu entrepreneurial. Au-delà des représentations, entre doxa et para-doxa, entre sociolecte et idiolecte, c’est la pertinence du coaching en tant que langage à part entière qui est interrogé : un statut sémiotique en devenir faisant de la pratique un mode de communication et de signification aux enjeux modernes. Le coaching serait alors une fonction sémiotique de l’agir, et du réinvestissement ontologique pour un coaché en quête de sens. De fait, mise à part une dénomination parfois qualifiée de magique ou fourre-tout, la pratique du coaching apparaît comme un puissant outil d’incarnation sémiotique.The semiotics researches on coaching presented in this article, based on field observations on the words of coaching, put into evidence the representations of an open practice oscillating between two tension poles: frontal or lateral posture of the coach, short-term practice or long-term one leading to the action, egocentric structure of the coachee or allocentric one. These three dimensions combined, those of pragmatic deixis, then semiotic forms of coaching, between coercive coaching and reflexive one, and as many strategies to adapt in an entrepreneurial environment. Beyond the representation, between doxa and para-doxa, between sociolect and idiolect, the relevance of coaching as a language in its own right is questioned: a semiotic status in the making that makes this practice a mode of communication and meaning responding to modern issues. Coaching would then be a semiotic function of acting and ontological reinvestment for a coachee in search of meaning. In fact, apart from a name sometimes qualified as magical or rag-bag, the practice of coaching appears to be a powerful tool of semiotic incarnation

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
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
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
