Monologue à plusieurs voix:Montaigne et le dialogue
Full text linkNoting that both the earliest readers of Montaigne’s Essais and their modern counterparts have likened them to a dialogue with a friend, this article seeks to explore the work’s dialogic characteristics. The humanist dialogue is an obvious precursor to the Essais, and even though Montaigne voiced dissatisfaction with Plato’s dialogues, he aspired to match Plato’s style, not least in achieving a conversational tone. Three different elements of dialogue are analysed : the “Dialogue of One” between the different parts of Montaigne’s mind, the dialogue between the author and the writers quoted and paraphrased, and the use of direct address to the reader to invite or provoke the reader to enter into dialogue with the author. This essay is concerned to show how Montaigne uses the dialogue to create an entirely new genre, posed between monologue and dialogue.Noting that both the earliest readers of Montaigne’s Essais and their modern counterparts have likened them to a dialogue with a friend, this article seeks to explore the work’s dialogic characteristics.

Meandering poetics:Reading Montaigne through Sperone Speroni
No full textThe titles of Montaigne’s essays bear a striking resemblance to those of Italian Renaissance dialogues and discourses in the vernacular of his contemporaries in Italy . The purpose of the present article is to read Montaigne in the light of one such Italian author, Sperone Speroni (1580-1588), and thus to compare Montaigne’s essays to Speroni's dialogues, not only in theme but also in their poetics. We will see how the quest for knowledge about the things of the world led each of our authors to a quite distinct use of the written word: whereas Speroni elaborated the Renaissance dialogue to artistic mastery, Montaigne created the genre of the essay.

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
