Latin Anonymous Sermons from Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages (AD 300-800):Classification, Transmission, Dating
No full textThe Catechumenate in Anonymous Sermons from the Late Antique West
No full textDans l’Antiquité tardive, tout individu souhaitant devenir chrétien devait passer par une intégration progressive appelée le catéchuménat depuis l’époque moderne. D’après les sources anciennes de l’Occident latin, il était organisé en deux étapes : les convertis devenaient d’abord membres de la communauté en tant que catechumeni, tandis qu’une appartenance plus complète était obtenue en demandant le baptême, ce qui permettait d’accéder au statut de fidelis, après une préparation rituelle intense. Bien que cette organisation reste méconnue à cause du manque de sources, en Occident, la prédication des évêques des IVe et Ve siècles fournit la documentation la plus visible et la mieux étudiée, sous la forme de catéchèses et de références occasionnelles au catéchuménat dispersées dans la prédication ordinaire. Toutefois, après les années 460, seules quelques collections de sermons actuellement attribuées à un auteur connu sont préservées. Après une brève présentation du catéchuménat tardo-antique, l’objectif de cet article est de souligner la nécessité de nouvelles recherches sur des textes méconnus et très peu étudiés, les sermons anonymes latins de l’Antiquité tardive. Nombre d’entre eux, imprimés dans des éditions modernes puis rejetés parmi les pseudo-Augustin, pseudo-Chrysostome et pseudo-Fulgence, contiennent quantité d’informations précieuses sur les rites d’initiation et la catéchèse. Après quelques considérations méthodologiques qui s’imposent pour l’étude de ces textes à la transmission complexe, cet article décrit quelques exemples de sermons qui peuvent être situés dans l’Occident tardo-antique et l’on examine leur contribution pour l’étude du catéchuménat dans l’Antiquité tardive. Cette enquête s’interroge plus largement sur l’impact que peuvent avoir ces sermons, une fois pris en considération, sur l’histoire du catéchuménat telle qu’elle a été écrite à partir de sources patristiques mieux connues.In late Antiquity, individuals wanting to become Christian went through a progressive integration called the catechumenate by modern scholars. In ancient sources from the Latin West, it was organised in two stages: converts would first become members of the community as catechumeni, while full belonging was acquired by petitioning for the status of fideles and receiving baptism after intense preparation. Although this organisa-tion is still little known because of the lack of sources, in the West, the preaching of bishops in the fourth and fifth centuries provides the most visible and studied evidence, in the form of catechetical lectures and occasional, often dispersed references to catechu-mens in ordinary sermons. However, after the 460s, only few collections of sermons with authentic authorship have been preserved. After a brief presentation of the late antique catechumenate, the objective of this article is to highlight the need of more research on neglected texts by exploring little-studied anonymous sermons preserved from the period. Many of them, often found among the pseudo-Augustinus, pseudo-Chrysostomus, and pseudo-Fulgentius modern editions, have much to offer on rites of initiation and cateche-sis implemented during the catechumenate. Beginning with preliminary remarks on methodological issues confronting researchers interested in these texts, this article then describes a few sermons that can be situated in the late antique West, thus providing a brief account of their potential contribution to our understanding of the catechumenate in late Antiquity. This investigation more broadly reflects on the impact of these sermons on the broader history of initiation as told by better-known patristic sources
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
