Gift-giving, consumption and the female court in sixteenth-century Italy
No full textPhDThe subject of my research is the female consort and her court. I focus on three Austrian
Archduchesses: Giovanna, Barbara and Eleonora Habsburg who came down to Italy in
the second half of the sixteenth century and married into the ducal houses of Florence,
Ferrara and Mantua respectively. My thesis compares the structures, roles and
relationships in these three contemporary female courts, and analyses the consorts’
reliance on personal consumption, gift-giving and patronage activities to assert their
power, position and identity. My research is primarily based on the unpublished letters
and accounts preserved in the three state archives of Florence, Modena (which contains
the Este archive) and Mantua.
My thesis starts with a background chapter on the history of the three Duchesses,
and then turns to address each Duchess’s financial situation, the organisation of her
court, her attitude to her husband and her new family and the particular circumstances
of her life. This chapter sheds new light on the position of the consort, and sets the stage
for the exploration of her patronage and consumption. My first case-study focuses on
clothing. I examine the Duchesses’ choices in dressing themselves and their courts and
analyse their treatment of clothing as a valuable visual language. My second case-study
focuses on the gifts of food that were sent to and from the Duchesses. I discuss their
function as items of relatively small economic value in the creation of patronage
relationships and in the process of social and political mediation.
The central tenet in my case-studies is that objects could act as coded messages,
with multiple meanings which can be dissected by studying owner, receiver, means of
transmission and the type of object itself. My approach employs material culture as a
means for enriching current knowledge of a particularly under-researched subject: the
female consort

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
