The Separatist Issue in the Italian Art System in the Eighties
No full textThe awareness acquired with the differentialist feminism of the Seventies in Italy led to the affirmation of the figure of the emancipated woman on a social level in the Eighties. This concept strengthened the importance of the idea of professionalism declared by the artists, which had as a direct consequence an increasingly widespread intolerance towards separatist initiatives such as female-only exhibitions. Initiatives such as the Biennale Donna di Ferrara, founded by the UDI – Unione Donne in Italia in 1984, conferences such as 12 al 2000. Donna Arte in 1988, reflecting on the role of women within the national artistic scene, and associations such as DUNA – Unione Nazionale Donne Artiste, often organized by women who had already been active in the national art system in the previous decade at the height of feminist demands, were deserted or viewed with suspicion by the artists of the younger generations (born in the 1950s) and who were stepping on the scene at the time. Through the analysis of these three Italian experiences, this article aims to highlight the methods and partly the reasons that led Italian artists to distance themselves from feminism after its arrival in Italy also thanks to the medium of art (with Carla Lonzi), in absolute contrast with what was happening in the same decade in the British-American context where, to some extent, feminism opened up to the demands of Afro- and Asian-descendant women, ensuring a continuous, lively, and profitable dialogue and interaction between art and feminism
Artiste negli anni Ottanta in Italia. Una riflessione a partire dal convegno “12 al 2000. Donna Arte” organizzato da Fernanda Fedi nel 1988.
No full textAttraverso l’analisi di “12 al 200. Donna Arte” convegno organizzato a Milano da Fernanda Fedi nel 1988, a 10 anni da “Donna Arte Società”, l’intervento mirerà a mettere in luce alcuni dei temi fondamentali per inquadrare la questione femminista e femminile all’interno del sistema dell’arte italiano degli anni Ottanta. Al convegno del 1988 seguì una pubblicazione contenente una serie di interviste realizzate da Fedi ad alcune delle partecipanti ed è oggi possibile raccogliere materiali e testimonianza diretta della stessa organizzatrice. Le dichiarazioni che vennero rilasciate da critiche, storiche dell’arte, artiste e galleriste come Mirella Bentivoglio, Liana Bortolon, Rossana Bossaglia, Valentina Orsini, Patrizia Serra e molte altre infatti toccano alcuni nodi cruciali del discorso. A partire dal fatto che le consapevolezze acquisite col femminismo differenzialista degli anni Settanta portarono a livello sociale, negli anni Ottanta, all’affermazione della figura della donna emancipata. Questo concetto va di pari passo con l’importanza dell’idea di professionalità dichiarata dalle artiste e legittimata dal sistema e con la sempre più diffusa insofferenza nei confronti di iniziative separatiste come le mostre di sole artiste. Una parità rivendicata che però, come dimostra il convegno del 1988, per tutto il decennio dovette continuare a fare i conti con le contraddittorietà di un sistema che si aprì solo apparentemente. A fronte infatti di un maggior numero di artiste riconosciute come tali non corrisposero in quell’epoca né una promozione del loro lavoro sul mercato, che al contrario continuava a ignorarle, né una vera inclusione delle loro opere nelle principali rassegne istituzionali nazionali.
Altro oggetto di analisi dell’intervento saranno le assenze riscontrabili in questo convegno. Apre infatti a una serie di interrogativi il fatto che nell’elenco delle intervenute non ci furono critiche come Lea Vergine e Anne Marie Sauzeau che, seppur in modi e con convinzioni differenti, avevano partecipato attivamente al dibattito negli anni precedenti
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
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
