Participation culturelle des personnes ayant des incapacités dans un contexte muséal : de l'accès inclusif au développement du pouvoir d'agir
No full textL'accès inclusif est un des facteurs essentiels de l'inclusion sociale et de lutte contre les discriminations (Rocques et al. 2011 ; Saint-Laurent et Emond, 2006). L'accès à la culture permet aux personnes ayant des incapacités d'accroître leur sentiment d'autodétermination et de contrôle sur leur vie (Saint-Laurent et Emond, 2006) et participe à leur épanouissement (Sophys-Véret, 2015). Ainsi, cette recherche vise à explorer les éléments influençant leur participation à la vie sociale et culturelle au Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ). L'objectif du mémoire est de répondre à la question de recherche suivante : Quels sont les éléments influençant l'accès inclusif et le pouvoir d'agir des personnes ayant des incapacités dans le contexte d'une visite au musée ? Le concept d'accès inclusif, envisagé selon le Modèle de Développement humain - Processus de production du handicap et la notion de chaîne d'accessibilité (avant, pendant et après) ont soutenu la construction du processus de collecte et d'analyse des données. Afin de répondre à la question de recherche, des visites au MNBAQ ont été réalisées avec quatorze personnes ayant différentes incapacités (visuelle, auditive, motrice, intellectuelle ou de langage). Le site internet, le transport et différents lieux du musée ont été étudiés, comme la boutique, le café Québecor, les toilettes et une exposition choisie par les participants, ainsi que leur retour à domicile et les effets de la visite sur le développement de leur pouvoir d'agir. Les résultats obtenus font ressortir la nécessité pour le musée de travailler avec les personnes ayant des incapacités et les organismes communautaires qui leur sont dédiés, pour améliorer l'accès inclusif à cette institution et le développement du pouvoir d'agir des personnes et des collectivités dans une perspective de pleine participation culturelle.Inclusive access is one of the essential factors for social inclusion and the fight against discrimination (Rocques et al. 2011; Saint-Laurent and Emond, 2006). Access to culture allows people with disabilities to increase their sense of self-determination and control over their lives (Saint-Laurent and Emond, 2006) and contributes to their development (Sophys-Véret, 2015). Thus, this research aims to explore the elements influencing their participation in social and cultural life at the Musée national des beaux-arts du Québec (MNBAQ). The objective of the thesis is to answer the following research question: What are the elements influencing inclusive access and the empowerment of people with disabilities in the context of a visit to the museum? The concept of inclusive access, considered according to the Human Development Model - Disability Production Process and the concept of the accessibility chain (before, during and after) supported the construction of the data collection and analysis process. In order to answer the research question, visits to the MNBAQ were made with fourteen people with different disabilities (visual, auditory, motor, and intellectual or language). The website, transport and different places in the museum were studied, such as the shop, the café Québecor, the toilets and an exhibition chosen by the participants, as well as their return home and the effects of the visit on their empowerment. The results obtained highlight the need for the museum to work with people with disabilities and the community organizations dedicated to them, to improve inclusive access to this institution and the empowerment of individuals and communities in a perspective of full cultural participation
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Les défis et enjeux du changement vers le développement durable :l'analyse stratégique des muséums nature de Montréal
Full text linkLongtemps, les institutions muséales scientifiques étaient considérées comme une empreinte de la société, un lieu élitiste, un lieu où seule la science avait son mot à dire. Aujourd'hui, les acteurs des musées se diversifient et sont soumis à des pressions sociales, économiques et environnementales complexes dont ils n'avaient pas à faire face jusqu'à présent. Certains musées de sciences ont ainsi inscrit dans leur nouvelle mission les termes de développement durable. Mais l'introduction récente de cette notion dans les musées de science suscite des débats. Contrairement à l'environnement, le développement durable ne se présente plus comme uniquement une notion à vulgariser dans les expositions, il s'inscrit aussi comme un nouveau système de gestion. Dans cette éventualité du changement, des logiques commerciales, environnementales, culturelles, scientifiques et sociales se trouvent confrontées modifiant l'identité propre des musées de sciences. Cette recherche vise donc à répondre à la question suivante : Quels sont les défis et les enjeux pour les musées scientifiques d'aller vers le développement durable ? Les objectifs de la recherche sont de comprendre les mécanismes qui régissent le fonctionnement des institutions muséales scientifiques, de développer une contribution critique sur les conséquences du changement vers le développement durable et de déterminer l'apport méthodologique de la sociologie des organisations pour la muséologie.

Variations on the Author
Full text link“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 linkWe 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
La gestion culturelle des musées au prisme du développement durable : évolution et enjeux contemporains
No full textSince the 2000s, the museal sector has had to face the combined challenges of sustainabilty, a fresh range of management tools coming from “new management,” and the digital revolution. While there was no real organizational disruption, several strategic behavioral patterns were observed. In fact, this changing environment brought about a progressive implementation of new tools and practises within cultural organizations. It seems important today to reevalute these organizations’ management strategies, particularly in the context of increasing globalization. First of all, there must be an awareness of research in this field to allow for the proposal of a theoretical framework that can provide the elements of comprehension of the functioning of today’s museal organizations. Analysis of the three examples of integrating a policy of sustainable development will then lead to a concrete illustration of the challenges to be met in order to conclude which contemporary issues museal management must meet today and in the future
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
