Alberto Boatto: la mirada desde el afuera
Get PDFAlberto Boatto (1929-2017) – uno de los críticos de arte más originales de Italia – ha sido un hombre situado simultáneamente en los márgenes y en el centro de la vida cultural de la época. Fundó y dirigió las revistas Cartabianca, Senzamargine y La città di Riga. Sin ascendencias declaradas, lejano por temperamento tanto de los “críticos poetas” como de los “académicos”, insensible a la transformación del crítico en la omnívora figura del curador, Boatto ejerce una escritura original e inactual. El crítico elude el “sistema” y se queda en el borde practicando una “mirada desde el afuera”. Para él todo pertenece al no-tiempo del arte y ya no cuentan, ni siquiera, las barreras del espacio ni las estacadas que dividen las artes.
El primer avistaje de la Tierra desde el espacio es el acontecimiento que desplazó el punto de vista al exterior del globo y expandió el mapa más allá de cualquier límite terrestre. Aquí surge el fascinante cortocircuito que Boatto genera con la historia del arte moderno. La Tierra se convirtió en un inmenso ready-made; el proceso de simultanea expansión y re-orientación de su imagen aparece en las paginas de La mirada desde el afuera como el epicentro de una mutación de paradigma cultural y antropologico
Ghenos, Eros, Thanatos: a mostra-livro de Alberto Boatto
Get PDFO artigo a seguir analisa a mostra-livro Ghenos, Eros, Thanatos, de 1974, do crítico de arte italiano Alberto Boatto, buscando identificá-lo como uma proposta crítico-curatorial heterodoxa em relação às principais tendências críticas da arte italiana dos anos 1960 e 1970.
Ellittica, apodittica, decisiva
No full textGhenos Eros Thanatos è il titolo della mostra curata da Alberto Boatto alla galleria de’ Foscherari di Bologna nel 1974, in cui le opere di tredici artisti compivano “un periplo attorno alle situazioni limite della vita”: la nascita, la sessualità, la morte. Il testo che compariva nel “libro-mappa” che accompagnava la mostra è ripubblicato nel volume insieme a una selezione ragionata di articoli, saggi e presentazioni critiche apparsi in riviste e cataloghi oggi di difficile reperibilità. Il saggio affronta i nodi fondamentali dell’attività critica e della biografia intellettuale di Boatto, dalla sua originale ed “eretica” interpretazione del Sessantotto e delle sue conseguenze sulle pratiche artistiche alle riflessioni sul destino dell’artista nell’epoca dello spettacolo, alle considerazioni, ormai in pieno clima postmoderno, sulla relazione tra scrittura e immagine, analizzando la sua posizione nel panorama artistico e culturale del suo tempo
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
