Mèson, stàsis, èros. La pòlis e le modulazioni del concetto di politico nella prospettiva dell'antropologia storica francese
Full text linkQuesta tesi intende esplorare alcuni aspetti del concetto di politico greco sorto con l’epocale avvento della pòlis. Nello specifico, la trattazione di tale argomento si scandisce secondo tre concetti che sembrano strutturare la categoria del politico nella città greco-classica: il mèson, la stàsis e l’èros. L’individuazione di questi tre concetti si rifà alle riflessioni dell’antropologia storica francese, fondata da Louis Gernet nei primi decenni del Novecento. Le ricerche portate avanti dal suo allievo Vernant e dai colleghi di quest’ultimo, Detienne e Vidal-Naquet, e in seguito, dagli antichisti che si sono avvicinati alla loro originale e rinnovante metodologia interpretativa sul mondo greco-antico, su tutti Nicole Loraux, sono parse la cornice di riferimento più adatta per addentrarsi in maniera adeguata nella pòlis, entità complessa, il cui sviluppo è figlio di tensioni e di contaminazioni eterogenee di nuovi valori e di loro specifiche ideologizzazioni. Si cercherà di dimostrare, lungo il percorso, come tutti e tre i concetti individuati giochino, seppur ognuno in modo diverso, un ruolo di primo piano nel definire la politicità della pòlis.This dissertation investigates some distinctive aspects of the concept of the political in classical Greece, marked by the historical emergence of the independent city-state (pòlis). In particular, the dissertation argues that three conceptual facets characterize the political in the classical Greek city-state: mèson, stàsis, èros. This view draws on insights proceeding from French anthropological history, founded by Louis Gernet in the early 1900s. The work of Gernet’s student Vernant, of his colleagues Detienne and Vidal-Naquet, and of other scholars who adopted their innovative methodology to approach the study of classical Greece – first and foremost Nicole Loraux – offer the best lens to penetrate and elucidate the complexity of the Greek pòlis. Indeed, the latter is a complex entity, whose emergence was conditioned by ceaseless tensions as well as the contamination of new values and their specific ideologization in the context of the city-state. The dissertation demonstrates how each of the conceptual facets identified, although in different ways, plays a key role in defining the political nature of the pòlis
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
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
