The role of “agency" and "intersectionality" into the processes of gender and religious identity building
No full textResidenza e diritti dei migranti: tra autonomia e controllo (Introduzione alla sezione monografica)
Full text linkLa residenza costituisce il presupposto per l’esercizio effettivo di numerosi diritti: la presa in carico da parte dei servizi sociali e la piena fruizione
dell’assistenza sanitaria non emergenziale, ad esempio, sono subordinate
all’iscrizione anagrafica. Inoltre, l’accesso a importanti prestazioni e benefici – tra cui diversi programmi di edilizia residenziale pubblica e alcune
misure di carattere economico come il reddito di cittadinanza – è spesso
subordinato a un certo numero di anni di registrazione. Si tratta, dunque, di
un «diritto a esercitare altri diritti».
La residenza svolge anche un’altra funzione: i registri anagrafici, se ben
tenuti, consentono di monitorare in maniera accurata il territorio e chi vi
è legato, tenendo traccia sia delle persone che dimorano in appartamenti
veri e propri sia di quelle che vivono in alloggi precari – «baracche», roulotte, ecc. –, o che sono senza fissa dimora o homeless. Una conoscenza
precisa e dettagliata della popolazione è fondamentale per organizzare e
gestire in maniera efficiente servizi pubblici essenziali – sociali, sanitari, fiscali, ambientali, ecc.
Nonostante la sua rilevanza strategica, il percorso di iscrizione anagrafica si fa spesso tortuoso e incerto. Molti comuni introducono requisiti non
previsti dalla normativa statale o inaspriscono quelli vigenti, soprattutto nei
confronti di persone homeless, che si trovano in condizioni abitative considerate illegali, inadeguate o «indecorose» oppure che, semplicemente,
sono prive della cittadinanza italiana. Negli ultimi anni, inoltre, governi di
diversi orientamenti politici sono intervenuti a loro volta in senso restrittivo. L’anagrafe, da strumento di monitoraggio del territorio, tende così a
trasformarsi in un dispositivo di selezione della popolazione ritenuta «legittima»: anziché seguire una logica inclusiva perché conoscitiva, ne segue una
di tipo opposto, escludente in quanto selettiva e ricattatoria
A combined use of three qualitative approaches: non reactive observation, biographic interview and focus groups technique
No full textThe aim of paper is to present a research design and in particular the way in which the different qualitative approaches was combined in order to take advantage of their potentiality and their particular perspective of observation. The case study focus on forms of ‘submerged’ violence that can arise within the framework of care institutions for minors. The research design included non reactive observations to collect some information on relationships among those living and working in residential structures; the focus-group technique to detect social representations on ‘care’ work; the biographical interview to investigate the living conditions of minors. A combination of different qualitative approaches has been used in order to deal with the multi-dimensional nature of the phenomena and to detect more features or aspects. Indeed, each approach satisfies specific cognitive aims, allowing the same phenomenon to be analysed from different perspectives

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
Partecipazione ed appartenenza nell’ottica di un nuovo pensiero islamico. Associazionismo e partitismo di stampo frerista in Italia
No full textL’obiettivo del presente saggio consiste nell’analizzare le traiettorie partecipative delle seconde generazioni di italo-egiziani con particolare riferimento alla loro partecipazione nel contesto delle primavere arabe. Di particolare interesse sarà la trattazione delle loro appartenenza identitaria e di come questa si traduca, eventualmente, in un percorso politico definito o vago, legato all’Egitto e/o all’Italia, capace di o meno di fornire un apporto a quel nuovo ijtihad cui facevamo prima riferimento. Ci siamo concentrati sulla Fratellanza musulmana e le sue ramificazioni italiane al fine osservare quanto e come queste seconde generazioni possano contribuire al rinnovamento di un pensiero islamico creato in un contesto dove l’Islam è una minoranza. Non solo. Questi giovani e queste giovani considerano l’Islam come parte integrante della loro identità, ma non esclusiva. Abbiamo poi preso in analisi la comunità italo-egiziana pur nella consapevolezza di non aver analizzato il panorama italiano legato alla Fratellanza nella sua interezza.The objective of this essay is to analyze the participatory trajectories of the second generations of Italian-Egyptians with particular reference to their participation in the context of the Arab springs. Of particular interest will be the discussion of their identity belonging and how this eventually translates into a defined or vague political path, linked to Egypt and / or Italy, capable or not of providing a contribution to that new ijtihad we referred to earlier. We focused on the Muslim Brotherhood and its Italian ramifications in order to observe how much and how these second generations can contribute to the renewal of Islamic thought created in a context where Islam is a minority. Not only. These young men and women consider Islam as an integral part of their identity, but not exclusive. We then analyzed the Italian-Egyptian community even though we were aware of not having analyzed the Italian panorama linked to the Brotherhood in its entirety
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
