Anna Boncompagni, Wittgenstein. Lo sguardo e il limite, Milano-Udine, Mimesis Edizioni, 2011, pp. 218
No full textWittgenstein, lo sguardo e il limite portrays Wittgenstein’s philosophy as a gaze placed on the limits – closed off to science – of what can be thought. This interpretation is finally applied not only to the early Wittgenstein, but to the whole of Wittgenstein’s philosophy and beyond the differences which are present in its different phases. This gaze has a methodological role: in the Tractatus, it unfurls through the unspoken, through which the that of the world – that the world is – shows itself. Later on, the gaze’s methodological role undergoes a metamorphosis which at once results in the invitation both not to think and to look – not to try to explain, rather to look beyond the concepts, through the method of the synoptic representation. The author, Anna Boncompagni, shows that not only the language, but also the gaze, in its variations, is a unifying theme behind all of Wittgenstein’s works, be it the gaze of the ineffable metaphysical subject, or the anthropological gaze that meets the limits of the human form of life – the gaze, aimed at understanding their meaning, towards the use of the words.Wittgenstein, lo sguardo e il limite delinea la filosofia di Wittgenstein come sguardo posto sui limiti, inaccessibili alla scienza, del pensabile. Questa interpretazione viene finalmente applicata a tutta la filosofia di Wittgenstein al di là delle differenze presenti nelle sue diverse fasi, non solo a quella tractariana. Lo sguardo, ha, in particolare, un ruolo metodologico: nel Tractatus, esso si attua attraverso il non detto, attraverso il mostrarsi del che del mondo. In seguito, il ruolo metodologico dello sguardo assume una metamorfosi che si traduce nell’invito simultaneo a non pensare e a guardare – a non cercare di spiegare, di assolutizzare, ma di guardare oltre i concetti, attraverso il metodo della rappresentazione sinottica. L’autrice, Anna Boncompagni, mostra come non solo il linguaggio, ma anche il tema dello sguardo, nelle sue variazioni, sia un trait d’union di tutta l’opera wittgensteiniana, sia che si tratti dello sguardo ineffabile del soggetto metafisico tractariano, sia che si tratti di quello antropologico che incontra i limiti della forma di vita umana – lo sguardo a cui ci invita Wittgenstein verso l’uso delle parole per comprenderne il significato.
È nella chiave dello sguardo che viene in questo saggio ripensato anche il senso della svolta linguistica, ovvero il riorientamento della riflessione filosofica novecentesca: Wittgenstein è forse il massimo esponente di questa svolta, per cui la filosofia rinuncia a farsi scienza scopritrice di assoluti per volgersi all’esercizio sui limiti del senso; essa si fa riflessione sul linguaggio quando scopre che linguaggio, mondo e soggetto sono inestricabili e inestricabilmente votati a scontrarsi con (e ad incontrare) i limiti del senso
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
