    Années de crises : le massacre de Peterloo en Grande-Bretagne et dans le monde

    No full text
    Le 16 août 1819 à Manchester, la yeomanry réprima dans le sang une manifestation pacifique pour le suffrage universel masculin. C’est un événement essentiel dans l’histoire du radicalisme populaire britannique, qui provoqua à la fois le déclin du mouvement de manifestations en plein air, et la radicalisation de quelques militants révolutionnaires. « Le massacre de Peterloo » cristallisa l’opinion publique bien au-delà des frontières britanniques, et suscita des débats sur la liberté, la domination et la représentation. Ce volume rassemble des articles qui proposent des approches nouvelles et variées de cette période et des répercussions du mouvement né à Peterloo en Grande-Bretagne ainsi qu’une réflexion sur les liens avec d’autres bouleversements dans le monde en 1819 et 1820. The massacre at St. Peter’s Field in Manchester on 16th August 1819, when a peaceful meeting for democratic reform was suppressed by force, was a significant event in the history of British popular radicalism. It precipitated the decline of the ‘mass platform’ movement which had grown after the end of the Napoleonic Wars and galvanized the last acts of an ultra-radical revolutionary fringe. ‘Peterloo’, as it became known, also had repercussions in a wider European, colonial and international framework, crystalising, as it did, questions of freedom, domination and representation. This volume brings together a collection of new and diverse approaches to this period, and broadly seeks to understand some of the wider implications of Peterloo and its aftermath, as well as question anew its domestic significance over the course of 1819 and 1820

    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

    Laurent Curelly, An Anatomy of an English Radical Newspaper: The Moderate (1648-9)

    Full text link
    Laurent Curelly’s title is a tribute to the many Anatomies that were published in the early seventeenth century—not least to Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy: the preface to the fifth edition lends an introductory quote that reveals and derides the contemporary crave for news. An Anatomy of an English Radical Newspaper: The Moderate (1648-9) indeed “dissects” [4] the 66 issues of The Moderate that were published between June 1648 and September 1649. The author further resorts to the metaphor of..

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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 text
    We 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
