L’IDEOLOGIE EN PERSPECTIVE : LA DEMARCHE HISTORIQUE DE MIHAI IOVĂNEL
Get PDFIdeology in Perspective – Mihai Iovănel’s Historical Approach. The History of Contemporary Romanian Literature by Mihai Iovănel brings back into question the present of Romanian literature both in terms of content and methods of analysis. In the present paper, Socaci dwells on the ambivalence between a materialist view and a critical one in the traditional sense—that is, one whose main function is to judge—with the aim of showing the limits of the socioanalysis that the author proposes. Considering the critic as a key player in the literary field and whose positioning is subject to complex schemes of perception, Socaci analyses the implications of the assumed but unquestioned subjectivity in the construction of the proposed overview, with an emphasis on the symbolic violence manifested by insufficient argumentation or by exclusion. Socaci\u27s approach values concepts proposed by Pierre Bourdieu and other sociologists of literature, thus indicating that the contradictory dispositions of the critic work together to produce a methodologically eclectic work, as it proposes an analysis of external factors, but not of the subject placed in the role of the analyst. However, the scholastic discourse that does not question the perspective from which it is constructed fortunately contributes to the actualization of the literary present, by establishing a rapport of retroactive historicity (Jérôme David), in which novels (Mara) or literary postures (Dobrogeanu-Gherea, Ibrăileanu) are legitimized by their role as precursors of some critical directions and artistic movements present in Iovănel’s contemporaneity. Thus, the proposed overview is in the service of a structural, sociologically aware analysis, and can therefore be considered a founding block in the necessary accumulations towards a national grand récit, similar to the one proposed by Pierre Bourdieu in Les Règles de l’art.

REZUMAT. Ideologia în perspectivă – demersul istoric al lui Mihai Iovănel. Apariția Istoriei scrise de Mihai Iovănel repune în discuție prezentul literaturii române atât în ce privește conținutul, cât și metodele de analiză. În lucrarea de față, mă opresc asupra ambivalenței dintre o privire materialistă și una critică în sens tradițional, adică a cărei funcție principală este de a judeca, cu scopul de a arăta limitele socioanalizei pe care autorul o propune. Considerând criticul drept un actant a cărui poziționare este supusă unor scheme complexe de percepție, analizez implicațiile subiectivității asumate, dar neinterogate în construcția panoramei propuse, cu accent pe violența simbolică manifestată prin argumentarea insuficientă sau prin excludere. Abordarea mea valorizează concepte propuse de Pierre Bourdieu și de alți sociologi ai literaturii, indicând astfel faptul că dispozițiile contradictorii ale criticului conlucrează la producerea unei opere eclectice din punct de vedere metodologic, căci propune o analiză a factorilor exteriori, dar nu și a subiectului plasat în rolul analistului. Cu toate acestea, discursul scolastic care nu pune în discuție perspectiva din care este construit contribuie în mod fericit la reactualizarea prezentului, prin instituirea unui raport de istoricitate retroactivă, în care opere (Mara) sau posturi literare (Dobrogeanu-Gherea, Ibrăileanu) sunt consacrate prin faptul că funcționează drept precursori ai unor direcții și mișcări prezente în contemporaneitatea criticului. Astfel, panorama propusă se pune în serviciul unei analize structurale, sociologizante (în sensul Magdei Răduță), putând fi deci considerată o piesă în acumulările necesare către un grand récit național, de tipul celui propus de Pierre Bourdieu în Regulile artei.

LA VÉRITÉ NÉGOCIÉE DANS L’OEUVRE D’IBSEN
Get PDFNegotiating truth in the works of Ibsen. Truth can be regarded as a complex, often multi-faceted notion in the literary universe of Henrik Ibsen. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the discursive (as well as fictional) nature of truth in Wild duck and Ghosts, presenting it as a consequence of social negotiation. I hypothesize that the perishing bodies of Hedvig and Osvald respectively illustrate not only a typical 19th Century fascination for heredity, but also symptoms of hidden truths, widely considered as vicious in the mostly rural, traditional Norway that Ibsen frequently depicts. Being the reincarnations of their respective fathers and therefore bringing forward their vitalist heritage, the two children are the objects of a double anamnesis (made by both the reader and the other characters) – medical and social. The two are connected by the hereditary and degenerative nature of their illness, which implies that finding the cause will undoubtedly reveal a vice that has been transmitted in family. In effect, Hedvig’s blindness connects her to her real father, while Osvald’s syphilis is a sign of his father’s debauchery. Even though these facts – eventually released into the community – could provoke a greater debate about moral values and their limits or question authority, they are instead integrated into various discourses and fictions that negate or dissimulate the realities they present, therefore preserving the statu-quo.
REZUMAT. Adevărul negociat în opera lui Ibsen. În universul literar al lui Henrik Ibsen, adevărul poate fi considerat drept o noțiune complexă, pluri-fațetată. În această lucrare, voi demonstra că, în piesele Rața sălbatică și Strigoii, adevărul ibsenian are o natură discursivă (dar și ficțională), fiind consecința unei negocieri în comunitate. Pornesc de la prezumția că trupurile maladive ale lui Hedvig și Osvald ilustrează nu numai o fascinație tipică a secolului al XIX-lea pentru ereditate, ci și simptome ale unor adevăruri ascunse, considerate drept vicioase în Norvegia (în mare parte) rurală și tradițională pe care Ibsen o ilustrează frecvent. Fiind reîncarnările părinților lor și, prin urmare, reprezentând moștenirea lor vitalistă, cei doi copii sunt obiectele unei duble anamneze (realizate atât de cititor, cât și de celelalte personaje) - medicale și sociale. Aceste două laturi sunt conectate prin natura ereditară și degenerativă a bolilor, ceea ce implică faptul că găsirea cauzei va dezvălui, fără îndoială, un viciu transmis în familie. În fapt, orbirea lui Hedvig o leagă de tatăl ei adevărat, în timp ce sifilisul lui Osvald este un semn al libertinajului tatălui său. Chiar dacă aceste realități - diseminate în cele din urmă în comunitate - ar putea provoca o dezbatere de largă amploare cu privire la valorile morale și la limitele lor sau chestiona autoritatea, ele sunt integrate în diverse discursuri și ficțiuni care neagă sau disimulează realitățile pe care le prezintă, păstrând așadar statu-quo-ul.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
