ENTRE TRANCHÉES RÉELLES ET FICTIVES : BLAISE CENDRARS, LA MAIN COUPÉE
No full textInternational audienceThe memoir lies somewhere at the crossroads between literature and document, offering a look into a shared past, but a very subjective one for that matter, obeying the voice of one author, who cannot write without creating some form of literature. As such, it becomes a very interesting literary genre: free to play with perspectives and with the senses of the reader, borrowing literary devices from fictional works, it is still deeply anchored in real life. The current article focuses on Blaise Cendrars' experience on the battlefields of the First World War as depicted in his memoir The Bloody Hand. First a writer, then a soldier, Blaise Cendrars could not escape the artist's natural instinct to turn his life into art, inviting the reader into his chaotic, fragmented, dirty, nostalgic, cruel, at times unbelievable experiences in the trenches. In order to better understand this intricate process of reviving memories and turning that very process into literature, the article proposes a look at the writer's use of literary devices-humour, surrealist elements, irony, metaphor or foreshadowing-to recreate an authentic, yet highly aestheticised war narrative
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

Occupied Identities: Female Agency and Gendered Stereotypes in Maxence van der Meersch's Invasion 14
No full textInternational audienceAs a spatially and temporally limited place of interaction, a military occupation opens up a space defined by violence, scarcity and fear, in which soldiers and civilians live side by side and develop asymmetrical relations characterised by a deep imbalance of power. In 1914, when German soldiers invaded the northern departments of France, women suddenly found themselves at the mercy of a brutal enemy force from which they could no longer be protected by the now missing men. As a result, women had to renegotiate their roles within the occupied society, while also finding a way to enact agency and resistance. In my presentation I will show how Maxence van der Meersch, a prolific writer from northern France, constructed the image of the woman within German-occupied society during the First World War. Using the character of Judith Lacombe from the novel “Invasion 14” as example, I will analyse the depiction of female agency in literary narratives, showing the ways in which fiction can draw on cultural and literary narrative plots to contrast with or perpetuate gendered stereotypes of the femmes à boches after 1918
