    I fatti del Circeo quale paradigma di analisi della violenza sessuale

    Full text link
    La tesi è dedicata al tema della violenza sessuale, con un focus sui fatti del Circeo, consumatisi nel settembre 1975. L’elaborato intende sottolineare il loro carattere periodizzante nella storia della violenza sessuale e della sua rappresentazione sociale. Il crimine compiuto ai danni di Donatella Colasanti e Rosaria Lopez ha sollevato il velo di omertà dietro al quale da sempre sono stati celati i crimini di genere. Configurandosi quale paradigma di analisi della violenza sessuale, lo studio di tale delitto e della sua ripercussione sociale permette di cogliere l’evoluzione del concetto di stupro nella seconda metà del Novecento. A partire da tale data si innesca nel Paese, attraversato da profondi mutamenti sociali e del costume, una riflessione profonda, da cui scaturisce un cambiamento sociale e culturale, nonché istituzionale, che assume concretezza con l’emanazione della legge "Norme contro la violenza sessuale" (1996). Sulla base di fonti differenziate, l'elaborato intende dimostrare come tale evento possa essere assunto quale spartiacque in merito al tema dello stupro, che, all’indomani del delitto, uscendo dalla dimensione privata, inizia ad assumere rilevanza nel dibattito pubblico, divenendo un fatto «politico»

    Gender mainstreaming vs vulnerabilità. Donne e carcere

    Il saggio indaga la condizione della detenzione femminile negli Istituti di pena italiani assumendo una prospettiva di gender mainstreaming, l'unica secondo l'Autrice che possa contrastare gli stereotipi e favorire percorsi di responsabilizzazione mettendo le donne al centro dell'azione rieducativa e sottraendole così dai meccanismi di "infantilizzazione" propri del dispositivo disciplinare carcerario

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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
