    Espace et écriture autobiographique : les Mémoires d’Amadou Hampâté Bâ

    No full text
    L’étude des représentations spatiales dans les Mémoires d’Amadou Hampâté Bâ révèle un certain nombre de choix spécifiques vis-à-vis de l’écriture autobiographique. Le voyage y occupe une place prépondérante dans l’organisation des structures narratives, faisant émerger un autoportrait de l’auteur en éternel voyageur qui tire de son expérience d’innombrables enseignements. Mais plus encore que l’auteur lui-même, c’est cet espace géographique, historique et culturel au sein duquel il a vécu qui est véritablement au centre de son œuvre, dont il accentue la valeur documentaire au détriment de l’écriture de soi. Ainsi la représentation est-elle avant tout historique, sociologique, et politique dans la mesure où il décrit aussi, notamment dans le Tome II, le système colonial. Et c’est finalement dans l’opposition entre l’image valorisée, voire idéalisée, d’une Afrique dite « traditionnelle » et celle, plus critique, de l’Afrique colonisée que resurgissent les traces d’une subjectivité et d’une personnalité que l’autobiographe semble pourtant avoir tenté de laisser dans l’ombre.The study of spatial representations in the Memoirs of Amadou Hampâté Bâ reveals quite a few specific choices in terms of autobiography writing. Travelling prevails in the organization of the narrative structures, thus the author depicts himself as an eternal traveller who draws countless lessons from his experience. Rather than focusing on himself, the author really centres his work on this geographical, historical and cultural space where he lived and whose documentary value he favours over writing about himself. The representation is primarily historical, sociological and political since it also describes the colonial system especially in the second volume. Finally, the opposition between the valued or even idealized image of a so called “traditional” Africa and the more critical image of colonized Africa shows marks of subjectivity and personality that the autobiographer seemed to have tried to conceal

    Les “gouverneurs de la rosée” au miroir des textes

    The vivid expression “Gouverneurs de la rosée” and title of the romantic masterpiece by Jacques Roumain appears on several occasions in the writer’s earlier work. The study of the different meanings that the author gives in turn to this recurring image taken from Creole and the comparison between the texts where it appears highlight patterns as well as the evolution of the writer’s view of the Haitian peasant masses who have occupied a central part in his work from the nineteen thirties onwards. Thus, the depiction of the “Masters of the Dew” is the reflection of multiple inner tensions and a fine negotiation between writing history and dreaming of a future, between Marxist ideology and anthropological studies, between belonging to a middle-class elite and being supportive of the oppressed people, between political commitment and an aesthetic quest marked by the indigenist movement.La expresión "gouverneurs de la rosée" que da título a la obra maestra de Jacques Roumain aparece varias veces en textos anteriores del escritor. El estudio de los significados que da el autor a esta imagen recurrente sacada del criollo y la confrontación de los textos en los que aparece, evidencian unas constantes y también la evolución de la mirada que fija el escritor sobre las masas campesinas haitianas. Estas, a partir de los años treinta, han ocupado en su obra un lugar central. La representación de los "gobernadores del rocío" es pues el reflejo de múltiples tensiones internas y de una delicada negociación entre diferentes aspectos: la escritura de la historia y el sueño de porvenir, la ideología marxista y los estudios antropológicos, la pertenencia a la élite burguesa y la solidaridad con el pueblo oprimido, el empeño político y la búsqueda estética, esta última marcada por la corriente indigenista

    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
