Un modèle économique pour la Contre-Réforme: Giovanni Botero et Antonio Serra

The influences of the Portuguese economic thought on the Breve trattato: Antonio Serra and Miguel Vaaz in Spanish Naples
No full textSince now in the analysis of the genesis of the “Breve Trattato” very little attention has been paid to the possible links existing between Antonio Serra and the group of merchants and bankers conversos of Portuguese origin established in Naples between the end of 16th century and the beginning of 17th. This group, although numerically exiguous, played a very important role in the domain of the trade and the finance of the kingdom and integrated the highest circles of the Spanish administration in Southern Italy, especially during the ruling of the viceroy Count of Lemos, between 1610 and 1616. Skilled in the practice of international trade, the Portuguese merchants and bankers in Naples could not ignore the economic theory developed in the Lusitanian culture during the 16th century that, by the matter of fact, presents several interesting points of contact with the approach of Antonio Serra
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
Antonio Serra, Breve trattato delle cause, che possono far abbondare li regni d'oro, e argento, dove non sono miniere (1613)
No full textVariations 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
Il Breve Trattato di Antonio Serra nel contesto della decadenza italiana
No full textThe debate about economic conditions of the Kingdom of Naples, in the first three decades of the
Seventeenth century, scarred an important evolution in Neapolitan culture, because for the first time
the economic problems were separated from ethical thinking and were outlined in autonomous way.
In Naples, as in other dominions of the Spanish Empire, a copious literature in the form of arbitrios
(advice) appeared, proposing measures to reverse the decline of the economy. The debate about
economic conditions of the Kingdom of Naples in the early 17th Century, can be considered as a
contrast among different models of development in the context of the World-System. The debate
between Marc’Antonio de Santis, an anonimous Genoese writer and Antonio Serra focus on the
contrast of different models of development. Marc’Antonio de Santis proposed a process of development
based on the local forces against the Kingdom’s subjection to foreign investors and rentiers,
on the base of natural fertility of Southern-Italy, that conferred it an advantage in terms of exchange.
Antonio Serra defended the role of the foreign investors, proposing as model the commercial and
manufacturing development of the Northern Italian city states (Genoa, Florence, and, above all,
Venice). Both of these proposals were based on the opinion of the fertility of the Kingdom, but Southern
Italy in the early 17th Century was full of an agrarian crisis, that was not imputable to normal
fluctuations of the agrarian cycle. This crisis, which acquired the characters of a generalized crisis of
subsistence, became the main subject of analysis for other Neapolitans authors that indicated a
different model of development, based on the solution of agrarian problem
