Première Guerre mondiale : le roman
No full textCette contribution s’arrête à la manière dont la littérature romanesque se retourne sur l’expérience de 14‒18 pendant les trois grandes périodes d’intérêt : la guerre et ses lendemains immédiats, l’entre-deux-guerres, et le tournant du XXIe siècle. L’analyse, qui repose sur un corpus d’oeuvres représentatives, se concentre prioritairement sur les enjeux littéraires. Elle tente de comprendre comment les fictions sont parvenues à dire l’expérience du champ de bataille. Le commentaire s’intéresse en particulier aux choix éthiques et esthétiques qui ont été mis en avant par des écrivains majoritairement pacifistes et qui ont estimé que la manière la plus efficace de se prémunir contre la guerre était d’en montrer l’horreur dans sa réalité la plus sanglante. L’ouverture sur l’importante quantité de romans publiés depuis 1980 est l’occasion d’interroger l’évolution des thèmes et des motifs. Un regard attentif sur l’imaginaire littéraire est révèle que le mode de rappeler que le mode réaliste n’a pas été le seul registre pratiqué les écrivains ont fait appel aussi au rire et à l’ironie pour surmonter - ou dépasser - le traumatisme
Far from Enlightenment : philosophical approaches to Voyage au bout de la nuit, Bagatelles pour un massacre and Mea culpa of Louis-Ferdinand Céline
No full textPlus que jamais, les débats que suscite le personnage de Louis-Ferdinand Céline s’apprêtent à prendre le pas sur la réception de son œuvre littéraire, pourtant exceptionnellement riche. Soumis à une lecture souvent approximative, imprégnée d’aprioris, ses écrits sont couramment victime d’une mise en perspective déformée, car abordés à rebours. Deux idées aussi tenaces que contradictoires se maintiennent alors : celle d’une œuvre principalement politique et celle d’un écrivain avant tout styliste. Donnant la priorité à une approche en accord avec le développement chronologique de l’œuvre, ce travail de thèse propose de remettre en valeur les intentions primaires de celle-ci. À partir d’une contextualisation dans l’histoire des idées de Voyage au bout de la nuit, Mea culpa et Bagatelles pour un massacre, elle soutient que les écrits de Céline s’appuient sur une interrogation philosophique qui s’élabore autour d’un même malaise vis-à-vis de l’héritage des Lumières, mais dont les conséquences, autant pour le fond que pour la forme, diffèrent selon les textes. Alors que Voyage au bout de la nuit présente une interrogation ontologique axée autour du motif du néant, Bagatelles pour un massacre poursuit une approche où la remise en question des Lumières donne naissance à des revendications esthétiques et sociologiques autant qu’à des diatribes idéologiques. Aux confins de l’un et de l’autre texte, Mea culpa pose les bases de ce passage de l’abstrait au concret, si lourd de conséquences pour l’appréhension de l’œuvre. Ainsi, ce travail de thèse contribue non seulement à une meilleure compréhension des textes abordés, mais montre l’univers intellectuel sous-jacent qui les relie.More than ever, debates engaging the character of Louis–Ferdinand Céline prevail over assessments of his collected work. The latter tends to receive superficial treatment, falling victim to a distorted perspective, infused with pre-judgment and approached through the prism of the author rather than the work itself. Two ideas, as persistent as they are contradictory prevail: of work that is inherently political and of a writer who is above all a stylist. Emphasising an approach in sync with the chronological development of Celine’s work, this thesis proposes to resurrect the author’s primary intentions. Starting with a contextualisation of Voyage au bout de la nuit, Mea culpa and Bagatelles pour un massacre, it is submitted that the writings of Celine rely on philosophical questioning developed around the same unease as has been witnessed on the legacy of the Enlightenment, but whose consequences, as much for the substance as the form, differ as according to the text. Whilst Voyage au bout de la nuit presents an ontological question centred on the theme for nothingness, Bagatelles pour un massacre pursues an approach where the questioning of the Enlightenment gives rise to aesthetic and sociological claims as well as ideological denunciations. At the extremities of the various texts, Mea culpa forms the basis of this movement from the abstract to the concrete albeit fraught with consequences for the understanding of the work. Thus, this thesis not only contributes to a better understanding of the texts examined, but shows the underlying intellectual universe that connects them
Pour une esthétique de l’imaginaire dans l’œuvre de Jean Cayrol

Le projet du passé Après avoir dîné avec Françoise, la fausse nièce d’Alphonse, et Bernard, le beau-fils d’Hélène rentré récemment d’Algérie, Hélène et son ancien amant se retrouvent finalement seuls dans la salle de séjour et commencent à échanger des souvenirs de leurs vies disparates. Alphonse évoque le moment de la Libération et le souvenir d’un amour qui « avait été abandonné en septembre 39 par un type incapable hâbleur, ne sachant pas comment se faire aimer et s’en sortir ».

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
