Lui, Le Livre d'El-Mahdi Acherchour ou la déconstruction du champ romanesque
No full textLui, Le livre, d'El-Mahdi Acherchour, est un texte hors-forme, hors-genre, un texte qui rompt avec les catégorisations génériques et où l'auteur opère une perturbation de sa réception qui compromet sa compréhension. Nous tentons ici d'analyser sa généricité, de comprendre comment Acherchour se charge de le déconstruire et d'en révéler les mécanismes profonds qui guident cette écriture fragmentaire et incisive.The work of El-Mahdi Acherchour puzzles readers by his title, Lui, Le livre, and mostly by his complex aspect which reveals incontestably the desire of the author to transgress the novel�s traditional categories. His manner to mix different genres confers to his writing a kind of structure absolutely exploded. In our paper, we will try to understand how this generic strategy is used in this narrative and to explain what the author thinks according to this hybrid genre
Mémoire en fragments ou l’impossible anamnèse dans L’Amour, la fantasia d’Assia Djebar
Full text linkNotre intérêt dans le cadre de cet article est de démontrer que le travail d’anamnèse opéré dans le texte d’Assia Djebar, L’Amour, la fantasia, est une tentative de redonner vie à une mémoire individuelle et collective souvent écrasée sous le poids de l’Histoire officielle. Nous montrerons que le texte offre une double orientation qui peut sembler contradictoire. En effet, le genre autobiographique s’accommode difficilement de l’écriture de l’histoire. L’un servant à retracer le parcours d’une vie, l’autre à raconter des événements relatifs à tout un pays. Nous tâcherons de démontrer que le texte établit un lien plus que nécessaire entre l’histoire individuelle et l’histoire collective afin de créer un autre possible identitaire qui passe obligatoirement par la femme et une nouvelle langue.Our interest in the context of this paper is to demonstrate that the work history made in the text of Assia Djebar is an attempt to revive an individual and collective memory often crushed under the weight of official history. Only this rewriting that systematically ended in failure and ambivalence denotes an in-between seems to be a suffering that the author does not cure but obeys a necessity to a need to write.The novel is also an attempt to implement this qu'Assia Djebar calls Francophonie although the autobiographical project and the writing of history face to silence, absence and to domination of the colonial discourse that is emerging situations both painful and dangerous to the narrator
Cultures en conflit et rite de passage dans le sommeil du juste de Mouloud Mammeri
Full text linkDans le cadre de cet article, nous tenterons d’expliciter quelques aspects des enjeux culturels dans Le Sommeil du juste de Mouloud Mammeri (1955). Nous voulons démontrer que les contacts entre la culture kabyle et la culture française, pendant la colonisation de l’Algérie, sont source de conflits entre les deux communautés en présence, rendant leur rapprochement impossible. Pour étayer notre thèse, nous avons suivi l’évolution du personnage central, Arezki, dans un univers de la fiction construit sur le principe de l’inadéquation des valeurs de l’humanisme républicain, prôné dans les livres et par les maîtres de l’école française, avec la réalité coloniale. Cet antagonisme, qui prend en tenaille Arezki, est puissant au point de le pousser à sa « désocialisation » progressive. Nous avons parlé de rite de passage inversé : l’initiation aux valeurs occidentales, qui devaient aider Arezki à s’intégrer à la compréhension du monde et à son intégration, débouche sur une « identité liminaire ».Our objective in this article is to clarify some aspects of the cultural issues included in Mouloud Mammeri’s Le Sommeil du juste (1955) in order to demonstrate that interactions between the Kabyle culture and French culture during the colonization of Algeria generated conflicts between the two communities leading to an impossible rapprochement between them. For this purpose, we followed the evolution of the central character, Arezki, in a world of fiction built on the theory of the inadequacy of the values of republican humanism, advocated in the books and by the masters of the French school, with the colonial reality. We showed that this antagonism is strong enough to cause Arezki’s progressive « désocialisation »
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
