    La Sibérie comme paradis

    No full text
    La Sibérie comme paradis entend corriger une méconnaissance regrettable de la Sibérie en prenant délibérément le contrepied (non sans un brin de provocation…) des images que les Occidentaux, et souvent les Russes eux-mêmes, associent spontanément à cette « noire Sibérie » qu’évoquait Baudelaire : vide, froid, nuit, ours, bagne, quand le monde sibérien ne se réduit pas au seul acronyme Goulag. Bien entendu, parler de la Sibérie comme terre paradisiaque – en écho à La Sibérie comme colonie, parue en 1882, du célèbre régionaliste Nikolaï Iadrintsev – ne relève pas d’une volonté de nier les conditions climatiques extrêmes de ce territoire, encore moins l’enfer carcéral qu’il a pu abriter ou le sort peu envieux qui y est encore trop souvent réservé aux peuples autochtones minoritaires. Mais il s’agit plutôt de rappeler que, paradoxalement ou non, cette terre, en raison notamment de son immensité et de son éloignement par rapport à Moscou et à Saint-Pétersbourg, a pu également être perçue, au cours des siècles, comme une terre d’asile et de refuge, comme une terre promise où ancrer des expériences sociétales nouvelles, comme une terre de liberté en rupture avec un « centre » autoritaire et prédateur, comme un véritable Eldorado en raison de ses richesses naturelles. Du jardin extraordinaire des chroniques médiévales russes au jardin écologique d’entreprises cosmétiques du début du XXIe siècle, la Sibérie a inspiré les idéaux les plus divers. C’est cette « légende dorée » dont plusieurs chercheurs internationaux, un écrivain et un photographe ont souhaité rendre compte dans ce recueil. Dominique Samson Normand de Chambourg est maître de conférences en Études sibériennes à l’Institut national des langues & civilisations orientales de Paris. Dans une perspective anthropologique et historique, ses travaux sont consacrés aux interactions russo-autochtones dans la Sibérie subarctique et arctique ; ses recherches actuelles portent sur l’œuvre missionnaire orthodoxe et évangélique, l’indépendantisme sibérien et la littérature de voyage. Il est l’auteur de deux ouvrages et de traductions d’écrivains autochtones de Sibérie. Dany Savelli est maître de conférences en littérature et civilisation russes à l’Université de Toulouse Jean Jaurès. Elle travaille notamment sur l’exotisme et l’imaginaire de l’Asie dans la littérature et la pensée russes, sur le bouddhisme et l’ésotérisme en Russie. Siberia as Paradise is an attempt to rectify unfortunate misconceptions of Siberia, in deliberately taking, not without controversy, the opposite stance of many Westerners and often of Russians themselves, who associate “pitch-black Siberia”, as Baudelaire described it, with the following words: desolation, coldness, night, bear, penal colony…that is, when the Siberian universe does not become reduced to the single Gulag acronym. To speak of Siberia as paradise – as an echo to Siberia as a colony, published in 1882 by the well-known regionalist Nikolai Iadrintsev – is not to deny the territory’s extreme climatic conditions, to negate its former carceral inferno with its gulags, or to dismiss the doomed fate that often awaits minority indigenous peoples on the land. Rather, to speak of Siberia as paradise is to recall that, perhaps paradoxically, and in particular because of its immensity and distance from Moscow and Saint-Petersburg, this territory was also perceived across centuries as a form of refuge and sanctuary, as a promised land where novel societal experiences could happen, as a land of freedom far from the authoritarian and predatory “center”, and as a genuine Eldorado because of its wealth in natural resources. From an extraordinary garden as described by Russian medieval chronicles to the early twenty-first century ecological garden that cosmetic businesses have transformed it into, Siberia has inspired a wide variety of ideals. It is this “golden legend” that several international researchers and one writer have wished to report on in this anthology. Dominique Samson Normand de Chambourg is an Associate Professor in Siberian Studies at the National Institute of Oriental Languages & Civilizations in Paris, France. His research on indigenous and Russian interactions in the subarctic and arctic regions of Siberia are grounded in an anthropological and historical perspective. He is currently working on Orthodox and Evangelical missionary works, on the Siberian independence movement, and literature on the topic of travel. He has also authored two monographs and has translated Siberian indigenous writers’ works. Dany Savelli is an Associate Professor in Russian studies at Toulouse II University. She is the publication director of the Slavica Occitania journal and primarily works on Asian exoticism and fantasy in Russian literature and philosophy. She also writes on Buddhism and esoterism in Russia

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    Boris Pilniak : une figure essentielle des relations culturelles soviéto-japonaises (1926-1937)

    With the diplomatic recognition of the USSR by Japan in 1925 high level cultural exchanges between the two countries started. One year later, the coming of Boris Pilniak (1894-1938), one of the most important Soviet writers at the time and the first Soviet author ever visiting Japan officially, created a stir. Back in Moscow, Pilniak hosted many Japanese artists and intellectuals touring in the USSR. After a second trip in Japan in 1932, he introduced Japanese traditional music in his country. By his action both in Japan and the USSR, he appears as an essential figure of the Soviet-Japanese cultural exchanges before the war.La reconnaissance diplomatique de l'URSS par le Japon en 1925 marque le début entre les deux pays d'échanges culturels de haute qualité. Un an plus tard, la venue de Boris Pilniak (1894-1938), l'un des plus importants auteurs soviétiques de l'époque et le premier en visite officielle au Japon, fait sensation. De retour à Moscou, l'écrivain accueille nombre d'artistes et intellectuels japonais de passage en URSS. Après un second voyage au Japon en 1932, il fait découvrir la musique traditionnelle japonaise à ses compatriotes. À travers son action, à la fois au Japon et en URSS, il apparaît comme une figure essentielle des échanges culturels soviéto-japonais d'avant- guerre.Savelli Dany.

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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
