    Nella raccolta di scritti sull’Ospitalità, Jacques Derrida riguarda la figura dello straniero come quella di “colui che pone la prima domanda” e “al quale si rivolge la prima domanda”: una realtà che irrompendo tra noi ci mette in questione. Da questa suggestione può essere desunta l’ipotesi di decifrare, nella domanda che i flussi migratori (in particolare di culto islamico) pongono alle città occidentali, una specifica richiesta di accoglienza che valga come possibile oltrepassamento della tolleranza. Una domanda su una possibile “fabbricazione” di nuovi ordinamenti spaziali, che può ispirarsi a quella intelligenza del linguaggio richiamata da Anne Dufourmantelle (Deridda, Defourmantelle, 2000, p. 23), quando ricorda che, in ebraico, l’avvenire, o meglio il “fabbricare il tempo”, equivale a “invitare”. Parole che rimandano alla produzione del tempo, dell’avvenire nello spazio, come affare di due soggetti o più; e dove è l’apporto dell’altro a produrre un cambiamento profondo, dovuto all’«eccomi dell’ospite che compare e che traumatizza» (ibid.). In questo senso, l’avvenire delle città occidentali può essere pensato come l’incontro tra ordinamenti spaziali diversi; anche a partire dalla storica esternità/estraneità dei luoghi del culto musulmano alla griglia ortogonale, più consueta per le città occidentali e, in particolare, per quelle d’impianto romano (cfr. Fusaro, 1984).In the collection of writings on hospitality, Jacques Derrida regards the figure of the stranger as one of "the one who asks the first question," and "she is addressing the first question": breaking into a reality that calls into question between us. From this suggestion can be gauged to decipher the hypothesis in question that migration flows (in particular of Islamic worship) pose to Western cities, a specific request for acceptance that counts as a possible overcoming of tolerance. A question about a possible "manufacture" of new legal space, which can be guided by the understanding of language invoked by Anne Dufourmantelle (Derrida, Defourmantelle, 2000, p. 23), when he recalls that, in Hebrew, the future, or rather the "make time" is equivalent to "invite". Words that refer to the production of the time, the future in space, as bargain of two or more subjects, and where is the contribution of the other to produce a profound change, due to '' I am the host that appears and that traumatizes "(ibid.). In this sense, the future of Western cities can be thought of as the meeting between different spatial orders, even from the historical externality / strangeness of the places of Muslim worship at the orthogonal grid, more familiar to western cities and, in particular, to those of the Roman system (see Fusaro, 1984)

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
