Radicalisme religieux dans les pays du Sahel : enjeux sécuritaires et impact sur le développement
Full text linkLe radicalisme religieux gagne du terrain en Afrique et sous plusieurs formes alors que les grilles d’analyse sont rarement renouvelées. Il est demeuré une croyance en un « islam africain » qui serait naturellement et durablement pacifique. Jusque récemment, les études sur l’islam sur le continent n’ont pas beaucoup intégré ni le caractère transnational des acteurs encore moins la mondialisation progressive du croire qui n’a pas épargné le continent et la région sahélienne en pleine mutation
Le Maroc au sud du Sahara : une stratégie d’influence à l’épreuve des mutations géopolitiques
No full textLe Maroc a développé, depuis l’indépendance, un sentiment d’encerclement qui détermine fortement sa politique stratégique et diplomatique. Entouré au nord par le puissant voisin espagnol avec lequel les relations sont difficiles, notamment en raison du différend sur les « enclaves » de Ceuta et Melilla, mais aussi à l’est par le voisin algérien qui soutient le Front Polisario, le Maroc voit sa relation avec l’Afrique subsaharienne comme un outil de « désenclavement » stratégique. Face à l’abs..
Senegalese academic says prevention is vital as West African countries battle the rise of radical Islam
No full textOur series examining the Origins of Africa’s War of Terror continues with Senegalese academic Dr Bakary Sambe who says that a deep reform of education systems in the Sahelian countries is key to preventing the rapid rise of Islamic militancy in the region
Liati Viviane, De l’usage du Coran, Edition Mille et une Nuits, 2004, 293 p.
No full textL’ouvrage de Viviane Liati porte sur les usages du Coran et des textes fondateurs dans le discours des acteurs religieux musulmans. Il cherche à en montrer la multiplicité au service de l’autorité politique ou contre elle, mais aussi la complexité et l’ambivalence, où l’auteur décèle ce qu’elle appelle une “ruse politique” de la part de ces acteurs. Mais d’abord, celle-ci s’efforce de mettre le Coran, cet “objet opaque” à la portée du grand public. À cet effet, elle s’appuie sur les “œuvres” ..
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
