    I documenti relativi ai professori universitari italiani in servizio alla Facoltà di Giurisprudenza dell’Università egiziana tra il 1927 e il 1940, custoditi a Roma presso l’Archivio storico diplomatico del Ministero degli Affari esteri, offrono scorci di una vivace vita accademica sulle rive del Nilo, legata a doppio filo alle dinamiche universitarie e alle politiche culturali francesi, inglesi e italiane. L’angolazione peculiare – non solo dal punto di vista geografico – riflette, in prospettiva, l’immagine di una comunità scientifica dedita agli studi giuridici ed economici, protesa a difendere interessi e visioni nazionali, ma anche aperta al confronto e alla competizione internazionale. Attorno alla presenza dei docenti stranieri ruotano molteplici piani di lettura: carriere individuali, vicende politiche contingenti e questioni internazionali si intersecano. In particolare, queste prime note si appuntano su alcuni materiali relativi ai concorsi a cattedra banditi dalla Facoltà di Giurisprudenza dell’Università del Cairo negli anni 1929 e 1930, per gli insegnamenti di Diritto internazionale, Diritto commerciale e Diritto romano.Documents relating to Italian university professors teaching at the Faculty of Law of the University of Cairo between 1927 and 1940, are held in Rome at the Archivio storico diplomatico of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They provide an insight into a lively academic life on the banks of the River Nile, a life closely bound to university dynamics as well as French, British, and Italian cultural policy. This particular angle – not only from a geographical point of view – reflects, in perspective, the image of a scientific community dedicated to legal and economic studies, committed to defending national interests and visions, but also open to other views and international competition. The community of foreign teachers can provide a source for many lines of research: individual careers, contingent political events and international issues, all of which intertwine. In particular, this paper focuses on certain material relating to competitions for chairs in international, commercial, and Roman law organized by the Faculty of Law of the University of Cairo in 1929 and 1930

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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
