Un’eterotopia ipogea: la stazione Chiaia della Linea 6 a Napoli
No full textLa modernizzazione della città di Napoli negli ultimi trent’anni ruota quasi
esclusivamente intorno alla costruzione della nuova rete di trasporto
metropolitano. Il grado di complessità del progetto per la stazione Chiaia
appare immediatamente assai elevato, in primis a causa del contesto
urbano: l’opera si pone infatti come cerniera tra le aree di Monte di Dio e
di Chiaia, oltre a essere in prossimità delle ultime propaggini dei Quartieri
Spagnoli. I due ingressi a quote differenti si innestano su un enorme spazio
vuoto, definito attraverso una successione verticale di forme geometriche
pure. Le tre figure geometriche presentano colori diversi – blu in alto, verde
al centro e rosso in basso – per rappresentare una sorta di discesa agli
inferi; suggerita da Peter Greenaway, questa idea trova certamente radici
nella memoria storica del luogo, la collina dove sorgeva l’antica Partenope.
Tale discesa agli inferi incontra un elemento di opposizione nella luce
che dall’alto arriva fino alla quota dei binari. Il nuovo edificio ipogeo
della stazione Chiaia, quindi, si inserisce in un tessuto profondamente
stratificato nel corso di quasi tremila anni, procedendo verso il basso
invece che verso l’alto. La stazione di per sé è già città: una città che allo
stesso tempo è un luogo altro, sospeso tra realtà e immaginazione, tra
luce e spazi ipogei, e in quanto tale ibrido, tanto da divenire una vera e
propria eterotopia foucaultiana
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
