From corpse to bones: funerary rituals of the Taforalt Iberomaurusian population
No full textThe funerary practices of the Taforalt population
(Morocco, about 15-12500 Cal BP), already investigated
by the authors in previous studies, were reconstructed
through anthropological analyses of human
remains (excavated by J. Roche in the 1950s) and examination
of the available field documentation. The results
indicated that the burial area included primary and secondary
depositions, sometimes within the same grave, of
approximately 40 adolescents and adults, as well as several
children. There is evidence of treatment of the cadavers
(disarticulation and defleshing) and manipulation of
dry bones. The funerary practices at Taforalt involved a
sequence of actions revealing a ritual character. These
reflect the tripartite structure of Van Gennep’s rites of
passage, implying that death was conceived as a passage
into another social dimension.
The aim of this study is to analyse the post mortem
interventions on these human remains (corpses and
bones) and to offer interpretative hypotheses as to their
possible meaning, drawing on the findings of ethnographic
research. We suggest that the collective dimension
of the group was valued more highly than the members
of the group as individuals, and that dry bones were
imbued with symbolic meaning. We also suggest that the
cultural and social management (through rites) of natural
events (death), associated with a strengthening of the
bonds with earth (inhumation) and territory (cemetery),
may be interpreted as heralding the emergence of a Neolithic
pattern of thought
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
Vient de paraître: Dernières nouvelles de Sapiens (S. Condemi et F. Savatier, oct. 2018)
No full textNotre collègue archéologue Silvana Condemi, membre statutaire d'Ades et co-directrice de l'équipe "Bio-archéologie et paléoanthropologie", vient de publier aux éditions Flammarion, conjointement avec le journaliste François Savatier, un ouvrage consacré à l'histoire d'Homo Sapiens. "Peu de disciplines ont été autant bouleversées ces dernières années que la préhistoire. Grâce au progrès de la génétique, on sait par exemple qu’il y a 40 000 ans, nous partagions la planète avec trois autres e..

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
