State and Culture in the English-Speaking World
No full textLe vingtième siècle s’est clos sur la recherche d’un nouveau modèle d’intervention étatique qui tirerait profit du marché en même temps qu’il garantirait la présence de l’État, indispensable au maintien de l’ordre social en butte aux assauts du libéralisme. Cette recherche d’une voie moyenne se traduit par une certaine convergence d’orientations entre les divers partis politiques qui offrent des solutions de plus en plus semblables. Le domaine d’intervention de l’État où cette convergence est la plus visible est sans doute la culture. Tous les partis s’accordent, en effet, pour en faire la vitrine des périodes de croissance de l’État, ou à l’inverse pour lui faire supporter les contraintes des récessions économiques. Après avoir proposé des solutions radicalement opposées et subversives, les partis semblent se rejoindre sur la reconnaissance du rôle de la culture comme ciment social et politique
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
Music and the Irish Imagination
No full textIrish music holds pride of place among the cultural attributes defining Ireland, and its role in shaping national identity is undisputed. To question these certainties which tend to convey a restrictive notion of a so-called Irish music, the first Irish music studies conference in France, which took place at the université de Caen Basse-Normandie on September 10th-12th, 2008, brought together Irish studies scholars, musicologists and musicians from Ireland and from France. Proceeding from this conference, this collection of essays places itself in the context of the fairly recent development of music studies as an area of scholarship within Irish studies. After an introductory essay by Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin, head of the Irish World Music Academy and chair of Culture Ireland, other articles look at issues such as (re-)defining, instrumentalising, performing, staging and listening to Irish music. In this volume, studies of form, setting, repertoire, political and ideological exploitation and government policy sit alongside explorations of music motifs and themes in literature and on the stage

No full textElver-Gleams: Sub-marine Soundings from the Irish World Academy Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin This paper explains why and how the place of music and dance research and performance as a core part of Irish studies is encouraged. The collapse of divisions between orality and literacy in the presentation of research is proposed as a model of what changed perspectives could provide to define new intellectual frames in the field of Irish studies. The programmes at the Irish World Academy (University of Li..
