Circumstances. From the inception to the establishment of the Design System at Politecnico di Milano
No full textThe chapter describes the main steps that led to the establishment, at the Politecnico di Milano, of the first Italian academic system of teaching and research entirely dedicated to Design, born from the intertwining with the historical realities of Architecture and Engineering.
While framing and connecting the birth of the Design system to the peculiarities of the Milanese context and to the social contingencies and regulatory circumstances that favoured its development, the chapter brings out certain characteristics of the teaching of this discipline that are typical of the Italian reality and outline common traits in the various local realities, delineating a sort of Made in Italy of education: the historical delay with which this teaching has emancipated itself from the Faculties of Architecture compared to what has happened in other international realities; the original product matrix linked to the furnishing object and deriving from the architectural design culture that has always worked on the different scales of the project the cultural imprint given by the technological disciplines - in particular by Architecture Technology - at the start of this experience, in the majority of Italian universities; the strong connection with the heritage of knowledge and with the material realities of the reference contexts; design that is present in a mature form as a functional inducement, as a socio-technical system, as a widespread culture before the birth of its educational system, etc. The birth of design at the Politecnico di Milano, is also the story of the weaving of a network that, in the space of little more than a decade, led this discipline to take root in the main Italian universities

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
