L’assimilazione della controcultura sessantottina. Il caso dei blue jeans e delle pubblicità Apple
No full textA detta dell’attuale dibattito teorico, la contestazione giovanile del Sessantotto fu un fallimento: secondo Žižek, Recalcati e Fisher, il movimento è stato fagocitato dalla «Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism» (Jameson 1991) divenendo l’ennesimo tassello dell’astuto «Discours du capitaliste» (Lacan 1972). Il dissenso si è convertito in nuovo consenso, ciò che si affermava come sovversione delle dinamiche di potere è stato assoggettato in qualità di inedito instrumentum regni e veicolo di repressione. Pasolini era stato profetico: nei suoi scritti giornalistici ciò che temeva era esattamente un travestimento del Potere che da clerico-fascista e perbenista si stava adattando tramite connotati ben più fascinosi e confortanti in edonismo irrefrenabile, in godimento illimitato, in un consumismo capace di livellare le gerarchie sociali. Quest’intervento si pone come obiettivo quello di indagare la subdola metamorfosi del potere tardocapitalistico attraverso l’analisi dei destini testuali di due oggetti nati dalla controcultura sessantottina: l’uso simbolico dei jeans all’interno dei romanzi italiani e le strategie retoriche adoperate dalla Apple nelle prime pubblicità dei suoi prodotti
Autore contro lettore, riddler contro riddlee, criminale contro detective. La contesa enigmistica come strumento di gestione del sapere
No full textThis work intends to investigate different ways of managing knowledge in the modern, ancient and postmodern era through the analysis of three riddle contests. In the first case, we will reflect on the relationship between author and reader starting from a review by Edgar Allan Poe on Dickens’ Barnaby Rudge; in the second, the outcome of a riddle contest narrated by Tolkien in The Hobbit will be commented; in the third, the gnoseological logics that preside over the connotations of Paul Auster’s detective fiction will be explored
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
Ritratto dell'artista da lavoratore. Posture estetiche in La carte et le territoire
No full textAccording to Lipovetsky and Serroy, beauty has risen to a new ontological requirement: the aesthetic phenomenon has expanded beyond its traditional boundaries, influencing reality and, above all, the economic dimension. The result has been an art market in which the aesthetic work responds to unprecedented hierarchies of value, and the author finds himself assuming professional postures fueled by innovative deontologies. This contribution investigates the transformations the aesthetic job undergoes in the late capitalist and post-Fordist logic through a close reading of Michel Houellebecq’s La carte et le territoire. In the novel, it is possible to observe the professional attitudes of three different artists: the photographer and painter Jed Martin, the fictional writer Michel Houellebecq and – through a metanarrative refraction – the narrator Michel Houellebecq. All three face the professionalization of the artistic activity oscillating between the poles of a dialectic that is difficult to resolve between artisanal and industrial work, creativity and methodicalness
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
