Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Jane Avril e l’automa di Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
Get PDFThe essay aims to highlight the representation of Jane Avril developed by Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec in the perspective of what could be defined as an aesthetics of hysteria. Of such a representation, consistent with the appearance of the many automatons that are about to invade the artistic scene of the first decades of the twentieth century, Jane Avril would definitely be said to be an accomplice, but in the construction of a character that does not have much to do with her dancing body
Tecnica, scrittura e storia nella morfologia di Henri Focillon
Get PDFThe article attempts to rethink Henri Focillon's morphology in the perspective of a footnote that Jacques Derrida dedicated to him in Of Grammatology. From this circumstance, the article derives the possibility of reflecting specifically on the notions of technique and writing
Fine di mondo. Dentro al rifugio antiatomico da giardino
No full textCon l’invasione dell’Ucraina e la distruzione di Gaza, nei nostri notiziari si è improvvisamente rifatta viva una vecchia conoscenza: la bomba atomica. A nominarla sono adesso ministri e presidenti che ancora una volta potranno poi celebrarne la funzione deterrente, ma nel frattempo la minaccia nucleare avrà anche svolto un secondo e non meno canonico tipo di lavoro. Di questo lavoro, a partire dalla vicenda dimenticata dei rifugi antiatomici promossi dall’amministrazione Kennedy nei giorni più frenetici della guerra fredda, il libro rende conto attraverso l’analisi della narrativa e del cinema di fantascienza, le fonti storiche e la cronaca di costume, il fumetto e la riflessione filosofica. Nonostante il loro fallimento commerciale, infatti, proprio quei rifugi avrebbero dato una forma compiuta alle proposte di salvezza che continuano a orientare il mondo sempre più pericolante in cui sopravviviamo
