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
Hatred in print : aspects of anti-Protestant polemic in the French Wars of Religion
No full textThe medium of printing has been persistently associated with Protestantism. As a
result, a large body of French Catholic anti-Protestant material was to a large extent
ignored. In contrast with Germany, there is evidence to suggest that French authors
used printing effectively and aggressively to promote the Catholic cause. During the
French Wars of Religion, French Catholics were far more innovative than they were
given credit for: the German paradigm of a leaden-footed Catholic response to the
Reformation was inappropriately applied to France. This is ironic given that it was
the Catholic cause which ultimately prevailed. In seeking to explain why France
remained a Catholic country, the French Catholic response must be taken into
account. Catholic polemical works, and their portrayal of Protestants in print in
particular, is the central focus of this work.
The first chapter is devoted to a historiographical discussion of the problem of
violence in the French Wars of Religion. The next two chapters are concerned with
the comparison between Protestantism and medieval heresies, and particularly the
recourse in polemic to the topos of the Albigensian Crusade. The next chapter
addresses the use of cultural archetypes such as 'the world turned upside down' and
the reversal of gender roles to deride the impact of the Reformation. The last two
chapters are an attempt to assess the impact of the Catholic polemic on the Protestant
culture and identity and on the emerging public opinion.
Rather than confront the Reformation on its own terms, the Catholic reaction
concentrated on discrediting the Protestant cause in the eyes of the Catholic majority.
They had a considerable impact on their readership and on an illiterate audience
(through the interaction between written and oral), and on the French Protestants'
own self-perception and identity. This thesis aims to contribute to the ongoing debate
over the nature of the French Wars of Religion, to explain why they were so violent
and why they engaged the loyalties of such a large portion of the population. This
study also provides an example of the successful defence of Catholicism developed
independently and in advance of Tridentine reform which is of wider significance for
the history of the Reformation in Europe
Le sacrifice de la messe en France avant le concile : ni Rome ni Genève ?
No full textDans sa thèse Ni Rome Ni Genève, Thierry Wanegffelen met en lumière les contradictions inhérentes à un catholicisme de la première modernité qui laissait beaucoup plus de place au compromis avec la réforme protestante qu’on aurait pu le croire. Dans un livre plus récent, il conclut que cette période de flux théologique prit fin avec le concile de Trente et l’adoption de ses décrets par le clergé français au début du XVIIe siècle. Etablir que le concile de Trente inaugure une période de confes..
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

Au British Museum de Londres est conservée une gravure destinée à être publiée comme feuille volante dont l’origine est incertaine mais dont le sujet, lui, ne fait aucun doute (Fig. 1) : elle représente le sacrifice de la messe restauré par la reine catholique Marie Tudor (1553-58). C’est une critique acerbe du culte catholique célébré ici par l’évêque de Winchester, Stephen Gardiner (1497-1555), qui figure au ..
La confession de foi d’Anne Askew : le martyre au féminin en 1546
No full textLe 16 Juillet 1546 à Smithield, Londres, fut brûlée pour hérésie une jeune femme de 25 ans, Anne Askew (1521-1546), après qu’elle se fut querellée avec des théologiens à propos de la présence réelle du Christ dans l’Eucharistie. Elle avait appris à lire et à écrire et s’était forgé sa propre opinion religieuse d’après la lecture de la Bible. Mariée de force par son père dans le Lincolnshire, elle s’était rendue à Londres pour demander son divorce et commença à prêcher et à distribuer des livr..
