    Poetics of conversion in Bossuet's speeches : from stylistic approach to discursive approach

    No full text
    Le propos de cette thèse consiste à montrer comment, dans les discours de Bossuet, les dispositifs discursifs sont mis au service de l’idéologie catholique et de l’ambition de ramener les âmes égarées dans le giron de l’Église et de Dieu. Bossuet porte à leur paroxysme l’efficacité stylistiques de son écriture, en les actualisant à un niveau discursif et argumentatif. Par les outils d’analyse issus de la rhétorique et de la linguistique de l’énonciation, cette thèse cherche à évaluer l’originalité du style de Bossuet lui-même, mais aussi de sa pensée et de ses actions. Une étude de quelques dispositifs éditoriaux de discours publiés par l’Aigle de Meaux prolonge et corrobore les analyses linguistiques.The purpose of this thesis is to show how, in Bossuet's speeches, discursive devices are put at the service of Catholic ideology and the ambition to bring lost souls back into the bosom of the Church and of God. Bossuet takes the stylistic effectiveness of his writing to its climax, updating them on a discursive and argumentative level. Using analytical tools derived from rhetoric and the linguistics of enunciation, this thesis seeks to assess the originality of Bossuet's style himself, but also of his thought and actions. A study of some editorial devices of speeches published by the Aigle de Meaux extends and corroborates the linguistic analyses

    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

    Nourritures terrestres, nourritures célestes et rhétorique du sublime dans l'art de Bossuet panégyriste

    Dans les Panégyriques de saint Gorgon, Bossuet exploite la topique du manger et du boire, et la recatégorise en fonction du paradigme du dogme catholique : elle ne participe plus à l'expression de l'abaissement, mais à l'expression de la grandeur du christianisme. Cette construction paradoxale du sublime chrétien sous-tend une conception du langage comme manducation et comme digestion : la construction topique fait émerger la dimension légendaire du récit du martyre - cas-limite de fiction narrative -, qui est une composante de la poétique du panégyrique.In the Panegyrics of saint Gorgon, Bossuet uses the topics of eating and drinking, and changes its meaning under the paradigm of catholic dogma : it doesn't help any more to express humiliation, but to express the greatness of christianism. This paradoxical construction of christian sublime forms the bedrock of an approach of language as eating and digesting : the topical construction raises the legendary aspect of the narrative of martyrdom - a border case of narrative fiction -, which is itself a component of the poetics of panegyric

    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

    Get PDF
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Get PDF
    We 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 text
    We 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

    Bossuet face à La Vallière : la topique de la vanité, entre enjeux religieux et enjeux politiques

    Get PDF
    Nous voulons analyser les motifs de la vanité et du mépris du monde dans le Carême du Louvre et dans le Sermon pour la profession de La Vallière dans une perspective à la fois topique et énonciative. La liaison de Louis XIV et de La Vallière pose un double problème religieux et politique. À cet égard, Bossuet utilise la topique de la vanité comme une arme paradoxale qui montre que le mépris du monde ne peut se passer du monde. Le champ religieux et le champ public se reflètent alors sans cesse l’un dans l’autre
