Civil Imagination. Ontologia politica della fotografia
No full textTraduzione in italiano del volume di Ariella Azoulay, "Civil Imagination". Nel testo l'autrice mira a costruire una 2ontologia politica della fotografia", rileggendo il prodotto fotografico come risultato di una serie di intrazioni all'interno di una "comuniità" della fotografia. In questo senso, la fotografia va al di là della dimensione prettamente "politica", per caratterizzarsi come medium innanzitutto "civile", legato cioè a un superamento della logica del sistema a favore del discorso sugli individui. In tal senso, vengono esplorate opposizioni - reali o presunte . quali estetico/politico, pubblico/privato, artistico/visuale

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
Czym są reparacje?
No full textAn excerpt from Chapter Seven of Ariella Azoulay’s Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism (2019), titled “Repair, Reparations, Return: The Condition of Worldliness”, redefines reparations not as a one-time compensation paid after the fact, but as an ongoing practice of reclaiming a shared world. Azoulay critiques the imperial logic of time, which confines crimes to the past and defers repair, as well as archival technologies that normalize violence — such as the categories of “indentured labor” or “apprenticeship.” She proposes “the forward-thrusting shutter”: the acknowledgment of the unforgivability of colonial and slave-based crimes, the dismantling of privileges based on accumulation through dispossession, and a shared, material labor of rebuilding relationships and conditions of coexistence. Reparations are thus framed as a fundamental right — not to be a perpetrator and to care for the world as a common, planetary good. Their realization requires that heirs of oppression renounce positions of power and actively participate in the process of repair.Fragment siódmego rozdziału książki Potential History: Unlearning Imperialism Arielli Azoulay („Repair, Reparations, Return: The Condition of Worldliness”) (2019) przedefiniowuje reparacje — ukazuje je nie jako jednorazowe odszkodowanie wypłacane po fakcie, lecz jako trwającą praktykę odzyskiwania współdzielonego świata. Autorka krytykuje imperialną logikę czasu, która zamyka zbrodnie w przeszłości i odracza naprawę, oraz archiwalne technologie normalizujące przemoc — takie jak kategorie „niewolnictwa kontraktowego” czy „przymusowego czeladnictwa”. Azoulay proponuje „zwolnienie migawki”: uznanie niewybaczalności kolonialnych i niewolniczych zbrodni, demontaż przywilejów opartych na akumulacji przez wywłaszczenie oraz wspólną, materialną pracę nad odbudową relacji i warunków współistnienia. Reparacje stają się tu pierwotnym prawem do niebycia sprawcą i do troski o świat jako wspólne, planetarne dobro. Ich urzeczywistnienie wymaga, by spadkobiercy opresji zrezygnowali z pozycji władzy i aktywnie włączyli się w proces naprawy
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
