No full textIl pram DAI è un concorso di design, che ha come obiettivo la diffusione della cultura degli spazi comuni attraverso processi di co-progettazione e co-produzione per l’educazione alla tutela e al recupero del patrimonio culturale e paesaggistico del Mediterraneo, inteso come strumento di sviluppo e come importante eredità culturale da salvaguardar
Circolarità sociale. Design per la prossimità a Napoli
No full textLa ricerca vuole esplorare la capacità del design, nei suoi aspetti teorici ed operativi, di intervenire in processi sociali bottom-up circostanziati nelle realtà urbane. Il Social Design è la pratica del design la cui primaria motivazione è la promozione di un cambiamento sociale positivo nella società attraverso una pratica progettuale. Si tratta di un ambito disciplinare molto vasto, che rappresenta una delle evoluzioni più avanzate e promettenti della nostra disciplina, in quanto opera mediante un concetto di innovazione che integra avanzamenti tecnologici e sociali e che coinvolge le persone in attività di partecipazione diretta alle proposizioni progettuali. All’interno di questa cornice disciplinare, si presenta una ricerca intervento in un contesto specifico per includere la dimensione locale nella visione globale, attraverso lo studio di un caso emblematico per l’individuazione di elementi per il progetto in contesti urbani caratterizzati da condizioni di alta marginalità sociale. In particolare, il riferimento è a note pratiche che hanno avviato significative esperienze di riqualificazione territoriale che si è prodotta dal basso, da soggetti del terzo settore che hanno sviluppato reti intorno a luoghi e concept specifici. L’attualizzazione di tali esperienze mostra, oggi, una fenomenologia emergente, quella del Rione Sanità a Napoli, che per il suo carattere corrente viene analizzata nella sua dimensione attuale di bestpractice. Nella sua qualità di distretto urbano caratterizzato da problematiche di marginalità sociale, eppure fortemente irrorato da azioni coordinate che stanno generando un cambiamento ed uno sviluppo dal basso, il Rione Sanità si configura quindi come spazio ideale per l’avvio di processi di design che incorporano il senso di limite ambientale, sociale e organizzativo. Il lavoro di ricerca si conclude con la presentazione delle pratiche progettuali, in cui la candidata è coinvolta in prima persona, per l’implementazione di un laboratorio di micro-produzione di prossimità, che integra processi di riciclo a bassa complessità delle materie plastiche e digital fabrication. Il materiale inedito di originale produzione della candidata che rappresenta i processi avviati da una comunità di luogo dal suo interno viene riportato nella trama globale del racconto scientifico intorno al social design per un più ampio inquadramento del tema attraverso un lavoro di confronto con la letteratura, le metodologie, ed altre esperienze di attivismo progettuale internazionali.The research aims to explore the ability of design, in its theoretical and operational aspects, to intervene in circumstantial bottom-up social processes in urban environments. Social Design is the practice of design whose primary motivation is the promotion of positive social change in society through design practice. It is a vast disciplinary field, representing one of the most advanced and promising evolutions of our discipline, as it operates through a concept of innovation that integrates technological and social advances and involves people in activities of direct participation in design propositions. Within this disciplinary framework, an action research in a specific context to include the local dimension in the global vision is presented, through the study of an emblematic case for the identification of enabling elements for design in urban contexts characterized by conditions of high social marginality. Specifically, the references are well-known practices that have launched significant experiences of territorial redevelopment that have been produced from below, by third sector actors who developed networks around specific places and concepts. The actualization of such experiences shows, today, an emerging phenomenology, that of the Rione Sanità in Naples, which due to its current character is analyzed on its present bestpractice dimension. In its quality as an urban district characterized by problems of social marginality, yet strongly sprinkled by coordinated actions that are generating change and bottom-up development, the Rione Sanità is thus configured as an ideal space for the activation of design processes that incorporate a sense of environmental, social and organizational limits. The research work is concluded with the presentation of design practices, in which the candidate is personally involved, for the implementation of a proximity micro-production laboratory, which integrates low-complexity recycling processes of plastics and digital fabrication. The uneditedl material produced by the candidate represents the processes initiated by a community of place from within. This is reported in the overall framework of the scientific narration around social design for a broader framing of the topic through comparative work with literature, methodologies, and other international design activism experiences
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
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
