Per la critica dello Stato: filosofia, etica e storia nell'attualismo di Giovanni Gentile
Full text linkThe main topic of the following thesis is the concept of State as seen by Giovanni Gentile. First the analysis focuses on the definition of the original link between philosophy and politics which defines the theoretical structure of actualism (Intr.). The text is made up of three sections. The first part deals with the concept of personality (chap. 1) and education (chap. 2) in order to dispute the idea of individual and social contract, according to the notion of “Praxis of Society” in La Filosofia di Marx. The second part focuses on the epistemic structure of the State seen by Gentile in interiore homine (chap. 1), especially in the assay Lo Stato e la Filosofia in relation to the problem of school (chap. 2) and structure of politics (chap. 3). By deepening the concepts of juridical law, sovereignty and political representation Gentile defines an ethical act which cannot be identified with the legal system. The idea of corporation explored in the first ’30 es and the concept of “Humanism of the Work” in Genesi e struttura della società clearly shows the critical approach of the State, that is in other words the concept of ethics. The third part analyses the philosopher’s political interpretation of the Italian History of Philosophy (chap. 2) and the relationship between History of Philosophy and Politcs (chap.1). As a result, Gentile’s identification of the State with the Weltgeschichte breaks with the common framework of the State and highlights a new, non-state conception of politics.Il nucleo centrale della presente tesi riguarda la concezione dello Stato nel pensiero di Giovanni Gentile, a partire dalla determinazione del plesso originario tra filosofia e politica che connota la struttura teoretica dell’attualismo (Intr.). Il testo è articolato in tre parti. La Parte Prima affronta la questione della personalità (cap. 1) e dell’educazione (cap. 2), con cui Gentile contesta i concetti di individuo e di contratto sociale, alla luce della nozione di “prassi della società” coniata ne La filosofia di Marx. La Parte Seconda è focalizzata sulla struttura epistemica che l’autore rintraccia nello Stato in interiore homine (cap. 1), soprattutto nel saggio Lo Stato e la filosofia, connettendosi al problema della scuola (cap. 2) e della forma politica (cap. 3). Con l’approfondimento dei concetti di diritto, sovranità e rappresentanza, Gentile coglie al cuore del giuridico un atto etico non riducibile ad unità, che già con l’idea di corporazione avanzata nei primi anni ’30 e soprattutto di umanesimo del lavoro presente in Genesi e struttura della società, mostra la matrice critica, e perciò l’eticità, dello Stato. La Parte Terza attraversa il modo politico con cui il filosofo siciliano legge la storia della filosofia italiana (cap. 2) e il rapporto tra filosofia della storia e politica (cap. 1), da cui emerge che l’identificazione tra Stato e Weltgeschichte pensata da Gentile dà luogo ad un collasso della forma-Stato, fruttuoso per pensare la politica in modo non statuale
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

No full textVariations 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
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning for Distributed Workflow Orchestration at the Tactical Edge
No full textThe dynamic nature of tactical edge networks has led to the design of architectures that enable real-time data processing and analytics at the edge, to ensure the continuation of operations when the connection to the headquarters is unavailable. However, workflow orchestration faces unique challenges over frequently disconnected, intermittent, and limited (DIL) networks, where traditional approaches, mainly developed for cloud-like environments, lack the flexibility to react promptly to ever-changing conditions. This paper presents a novel decentralized partially observable Markov decision process (DEC-POMDP) formulation for the distributed workflow orchestration problem, where agents need to cooperate to maximize the computation efficiency while reducing the data transmission time. We propose a solution based on multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) that leverages graph convolutional reinforcement learning (DGN) and graph attention networks (GAT) to enable agents to share information with each other, capture the network's structural information, ensure scalability, and eliminate the needs for global knowledge of the network. Training and experiments, which compare our solution with the corresponding constraint satisfaction problem (CSP), are conducted in a simulated 2D urban scenario that mimics nodes' mobility and communications, showing promising results
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
