No full textEric Athenot, (Université François Rabelais de Tours)« Licence poétique : de la Bible dans Leaves of Grass »Parmi les très nombreux textes qui ont inspiré Leaves of Grass, la Bible occupe la première place. La pratique intertextuelle de Whitman, faite d'emprunt et de parodie, pousse le poète à s'incarner dans son livre sous les traits d'Adam et du Christ. La stratégie somatique ainsi mise en œuvre au fil des recueils déclenche une dynamique de lecture où le corps humain constitue le véritable..
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
« Liquid Times —Michael Joyce’s afternoon, a story ».
No full textInternational audienceThe electronic hyperfictions published in the 1990s have been haunted by the poststructuralist ghost of an ideal mode of empowered reading that supposedly enables the reader to appropriate, co-author and recompose the text in a perfectly fluid fashion following the associative logic enabled by hyperlinks, a contention largely inherited from a misreading of so-called French Theory of text as well as the influence of contemporary physics. The present contribution aims at exploring a series of variations on the metaphors of fluidity and texture in Michael Joyce’s now classic electronic hyperfiction afternoon, a story, with a strong focus on the author’s theoretical writings, heavily influenced by several Deleuzian concepts together with chaos and catastrophe theory in an attempt to define a new form of quantum textuality, or “liquid fiction,” changing our perspective on narrative time and space.I contend that the non-chronological and textural nature of time and space in Joyce’s works, that is to say “the coexistence of sheets of virtual past” (Deleuze Cinema 2 105) forming a fluid continuum is better reflected by the topological logic of an infinite and baroque folding rather than that of foliation per se. How can we delineate the contours of a text and shape it into a meaningful and stable form since they literally never took place, except as part of an uncharted occurrence failing to map itself upon itself? In the non- Euclidian space of computer environments where every point virtually stands at equal distance from each other, the depth of field of the postcinematic flat screens that pop up one after the other, can no longer be measured in terms of spatial distance or perspective, but in terms of duration as paradoxically illustrated by the stubbornly spatial notions of coextensivity and depth respectively defined by Joyce as “the replacement of one writing by another,” (Joyce Othermindedness 27) or “the degree impingement and dissolution among elements of a hypertext” (25), and as “the capacity for replacement among elements of a hypertext,” (25) and further “the dimension or absence or indefiniteness that opens further discourse and other morphological forms of desire” (26)
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe 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
Computer art AND artificial intelligence : the zero dimension of the information technology and of the artistic creativity
No full textCette thèse interdisciplinaire se situe à l’intersection de l’art informatique, de l’intelligence artificielle et de la philosophie contemporaine.Le présent travail s’organise autour des sept sujets : Examen des pensées conventionnelles réductionnistes et abstractionnistes ; Compréhension du fonctionnement de l’IA contemporaine ; Présentation diachronique des œuvres d’arts pré-informatiques, proto-informatiques et informatiques ; Analyse approfondie du réseau de neurones artificiels et des méthodes d’apprentissage de l’IA contemporaine ; Évaluation du potentiel de la dimension zéro de la technologie informatique ; Mise en rapport de la dimension zéro avec la philosophie contemporaine ; Élaboration du raisonnement sur la créativité à l’ère de l’intelligence artificielle contemporaine. Les pratiques personnelles présentées sont des épreuves artistiques et technologiques.Ces recherches mènent à atteindre les objectifs suivants : Démythification de l’IA en échappant aux dichotomies démodées et inutiles comme physique et méta-physique, organique et non-organique, humain et non-humain, naturel et artificielle, etc. ; Réflexion sur le potentiel de l’IA contemporaine en rapport avec le Big Data, le Machine Learning et le réseau de neurones artificiels de type GANs ; Établissement de « degré zéro » pour la compréhension neutre de deux intelligences (l’une artificielle et l’autre naturelle) ; Proposition d’une attitude de l’artiste à l’ère de la technologie informatique et de l’IA contemporaine.Il s’agit de la compréhension de la dimension zéro et sa caractéristique de « pas-encore », ainsi que de la compossibilité de la technologie informatique et de l’IA contemporaine.This interdisciplinary thesis sits at the intersection of computer art, AI and contemporary philosophy.The present thesis is organized around the seven topics : Examination of conventional reductionist and abstractionist thoughts ; Understanding of how contemporary AI works ; Diachronic presentation of pre-computer, proto-computer and computer artworks ; In-depth analysis of artificial neural networks and learning methods of contemporary AI ; Assessment of the potential of the zero-dimension of information technology ; Relation of the zero dimension with contemporary philosophy ; and elaboration of thoughts on creativity in the era of IT and AI. As artistic and technological examples, personal practices are presented as well.This research aims to : Demythologize AI by escaping old-fashioned and unnecessary dichotomies such as physical and meta-physical, organic and non-organic, human and non-human, natural and artificial, etc. ; Reflect on the potential of contemporary AI in relation to Big Data, Machine Learning and artificial neural networks such as GANs ; Establish “zero degree” for the neutral understanding of two intelligences (one artificial and the other natural) ; Propose artist’s attitude in the era of contemporary computer technology and AI.It is to understand the zero dimension and its “not yet” characteristic, as well as the “compossibility” of contemporary IT and AI
