    Autofiction and social media ˸ self-narratives in the works of Chloé Delaume and Tao Lin

    No full text
    Les images de soi produites par un auteur dans des romans autobiographiques peuvent, dans le contexte actuel, recouper ses représentations sur ses profils numériques, faisant apparaître une dynamique influençant la lecture des textes littéraires, la position institutionnelle de l’écrivain et la relation de ce dernier au lecteur. Nous avons voulu défendre l’idée selon laquelle, s’il n’est pas déterminant de prendre en compte la personne réelle de celui ou celle qui signe l'œuvre (y compris dans le cas d'autofictions), sa figure construite à la fois dans le discours littéraire et dans les espaces d’expression numériques brise la frontière entre texte et hors-texte.Afin d'observer les implications de la rencontre entre double virtuel et double fictionnel de l’auteur, nous nous attachons plus particulièrement aux cas de Chloé Delaume et de Tao Lin. Ce dernier sature ses textes de renvois entre sa vie, internet et son œuvre, mettant en lumière des éléments de référentialité (notamment entre personne et personnage) désormais accessibles à ce que nous nommons des lecteurs-internautes. Concernant Chloé Delaume, c’est au niveau du support de fiction que l’exploration de nouveaux médias se joue : les outils informatiques, comme une contrainte oulipienne, servent de cadre technique à partir duquel l’écriture est appelée à naître. Dans leurs approches respectives, nous nous sommes intéressée à la mise en place d’un récit de soi transmédiatique, induisant une nouvelle matrice diégétique d’une part, et de nouveaux comportements de lecture d’autre part. La curiosité du lecteur peut être nourrie par les réseaux sociaux ; or, non seulement l’accès à la vie de l’auteur reste un mirage, mais cela ne donne à ce dernier que plus d’armes pour manipuler le lecteur s’il le souhaite.The self-images produced by an author within autobiographical novels tend to overlap, in our digital era, his or her online representations, thus influencing the reading of the text, the institutional position of the writer and his or her relationship to the reader. More broadly, although it is not necessary to take into account the actual person producing the work of art (including in the case of autofictions), the figure he or she constructs within literary speech and digital spaces for expression breaks the boundary between text and what is located outside of the text. In order to parse what the encounter between the digital version and the literary version of the author involves, I chose to focus on the works of Chloé Delaume and Tao Lin. The latter uses material coming straight from his own social media in his novels, highlighting elements of referentiality (especially between person and persona), now available to what I call readers-internet users. As for Chloé Delaume, she explores new media through various mediums of fiction: she uses technological tools as a frame, akin to an Oulipian constraint, in order to let a specific kind of writing emerge. What interested me in their approaches is their construction of a transmedia self-narrative leading on the one hand to a new diegetic matrix and on the other to new ways of reading. The reader's curiosity can be nourished by social media; however, not only does the access to the writers' life remain an illusion, but it only gives more power to them if they wish to manipulate the reader

    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

    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

    Les médiamorphoses de Chloé Delaume

    No full text
    Chloé Delaume introduces herself as a "fictional character who is worse than the others" since she refuses to be embodied into a single book. Rather, she takes on various physical and textual envelopes, which she defines as successive hosts of her mediamorphoses. All means, especially all media, are necessary to reach the goal she assigns to her writing: modifying reality. She achieves this by conducting experiments on both herself and her text, thus simultaneously distorting tangible and virtual realities. I wish to examine how she develops her writing by using a variety of media and text layers to repurpose her own self narrative. Based on a few of her autofictional books and her use of digital tools, I will attempt to show how Chloé Delaume\u27s writing, harnessing many of today\u27s media possibilities, carries out her project of reappropriating identity. Chloé Delaume ; Autofiction ; Character ; Media ; Digital.Chloé Delaume se pose en « personnage de fiction pire que les autres » car elle refuse de s’incarner dans un livre, prenant, au gré de ses médiamorphoses, différentes enveloppes corporelles et textuelles, présentées comme autant d’hôtes successifs. Entre expérimentations sur le texte et sur elle-même, et distorsion des réalités tangibles et virtuelles, tous les moyens, et surtout tous les médias, sont nécessaires pour atteindre la mission qu’elle attribue à son écriture : modifier le réel. Comment la parole se développe-t-elle à travers cette démultiplication de supports médiatiques et diégétiques autour du récit de soi? À partir de plusieurs de ses œuvres autofictionnelles ainsi que de son utilisation des ressources numériques, il s\u27agit de voir si l’écriture de Chloé Delaume, qui joue à parcourir les possibilités médiatiques de son époque, peut nous éclairer sur son projet de réappropriation de l\u27identité.   Mots clés: Chloé Delaume, autofiction, médiamorphose, transmédia, Corpus Simsi Références Cornelio, Dawn M. « De Nathalie Dalain à Chloé Delaume : qui est qui? » S’écrire Chloé Delaume.

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Full text link
    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
