Literature, scene and music in Benjamin Britten's works for the stage
No full textLes opéras de Benjamin Britten témoignent de l’engagement de leur auteur pour le renouveau de la scène et de la dramaturgie au XXe siècle. Par son travail avec l’avant-garde théâtrale (musique de scène, drame radiophonique, musique pour films documentaires), Britten a su se nourrir des innovations marquantes du début du siècle, se révélant alors un formidable passeur des théories et esthétiques dramatiques de cette période. Si ses oeuvres lyriques sont le lieu où cet apprentissage est mis en pratique, elles proposent et expérimentent également de nouvelles dramaturgies scéniques. La dramaturgie brittenienne n’a pas laissé le public indifférent : vivement appréciée des grands metteurs en scène européens, elle bouscula les Français dans leurs habitudes et leurs a priori face à la musique anglaise.Benjamin Britten’s operas are witness to their author's commitment to a renewal of the stage and dramaturgy in the 20th century. Through working with the theatrical avant-garde (stage music, radio dramas, music for documentary films), Britten knew how to take advantage of the outstanding innovations of the beginning of the century, becoming a wonderful conduit of the theories and dramatic aesthetics of that period. While he put this apprenticeship into practice in his lyric works, these works also suggest and experiment with new scenic dramatic arts. Britten's dramaturgy did not leave the public indifferent; keenly appreciated by the great European theatre directors, it jostled the French out of their habits and their prejudices against English music
Voix sans corps et corps sans voix dans les œuvres lyriques de Benjamin Britten
No full textL’opéra a souvent été considéré comme l’art de la voix : tout un pan de la tradition opératique s’intéressait avant tout aux qualités vocales des chanteurs. Peu importait au fond si Madame Butterfly, jeune fille de quatorze ans, était incarnée par une diva qui semblait trois fois son âge. Peu importait, au juste, les éternels accessoires et costumes, la gestuelle stéréotypée. Le public ne venait pas pour cela. Il voulait entendre une voix. Pourtant, au milieu du XXe siècle, certains metteurs ..

Le Songe d’une nuit d’été de Benjamin Britten : Nouvel éclairage scénique de l’héritage shakespearien
No full textBenjamin Britten’s opera A Midsummer Night’s Dream was composed and first performed in 1960, at a time when the performing arts were undergoing massive changes. While keeping the original text both as a pedagogical act and an act of allegiance, Britten nonetheless broke with the established aesthetic tradition of staging Shakespeare. He thus managed to create an innovative dramatic art capable of paving the way for other theatrical dramatic arts and for a different reading of Shakespeare’s plays, both in the opera and the theatre. By insisting on the sensuality and the physical dimension of the play and on its capacity to celebrate drama and all theatrical arts, Britten seems to have been at the centre of an aesthetic and ideological renewal which was to be carried on later by Jan Kott and Peter Brook, among others, thus making him an important figure in the history of the performances of Shakespeare’s masterpiece
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
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
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
