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

"Imite les bêtes" : d'un devenir instinctuel de l'intelligence dans les milieux monastiques du XIe siècle
No full textInternational audienceLa figure de l'animal apparaît de façon surprenante au sein de la spiritualité monastique du XIe siècle de l'Occident médiéval. Le moine est invité à "imiter la bête" dans sa simplicité et dans sa bravoure au combat. Saint Pierre Damien d'une part, et Othlon de Saint-Emmeran d'autre part, invitent tous deux leurs frères à prendre exemple sur les animaux pour accéder à l'état de componction qui unit à Dieu. Les deux spirituels exhortent à une conversion de la raison discursive à "l'intelligence naturelle", faculté qu'il s'agit, si ce n'est de retrouver, du moins d'apprendre à exercer. On assiste à une promotion toute singulière de l'instinct, accompagnée d'une destitution de la raison dans la voie du salut. C'est à l'examen de cette thèse, qui ne laisse pas d'étonner en ce qu'elle désigne l'absence de rationalité comme chemin sûr qui mène à Dieu, que cet article est consacré

L'Epaisseur du sensible au XIe siècle: Bérenger de Tours et Pierre Damien
No full textAn unprecedented reflexion upon the ontological consistancy of natural creation characterizes the XIe century in the Western Middle Ages. This study focusses on Berengar of Tour's Eucharistic texts and Peter Damian's De divina omnipotentia and shows that the very stake during that century resides in "perceptible thickness". Berengar and Peter Damian draw two divergent ontological options on the status of the sensitive nature -- on the one hand, its consistency, on the other, its inconsistency -- that accompany the two absolutly singular faces of God.Le XIe siècle de l'Occident médiéval se caractérise par une réflexion sans précédent sur la consistance ontologique de la nature créée. Prenant en charge les textes eucharistiques de Bérenger de Tours et la Lettre sur la toute-puissance divine de Pierre Damien, cette étude montre que l'enjeu du siècle réside dans "l'épaisseur du sensible". Bérenger et Pierre Damien dessinent deux options ontologiques divergentes sur le statut de la nature sensible -- d'un côté sa consistance, de l'autre son inconsistance -- qu'accompagnent deux visages de Dieu absolument singuliers
