No full textTradurre la saggistica: proposta di traduzione di un estratto di "The invisible history of the human race"
No full textThe aim of this dissertation is to propose the translation of four chapters from "The invisible history of the human race", an essay by the Australian author and journalist Christine Kenneally.
This essay offers a non-systematic overview upon genealogy in connection to the idea of personal identity; above all, the author wants to persuade the reader that genealogy could be the perfect linking point between history and science, family lines and DNA. The translated
chapters particularly concentrate on the reasons of the current underestimation of genealogy, which, according to Kenneally, lies in the Nazi’s distorted use of ancestry and in the exploitation of the idea of biological diversity in order to discriminate people.
The dissertation is composed of four chapters. The first chapter consists in a concise analysis of the characteristics of the textual genre and in a theoretical introduction and approach to the translation of essays, where the main generic and essay-specific translation strategies are outlined. The second chapter presents a detailed illustration of the topics treated in the essay and particularly in the translated pages. The third chapter contains the translation and the fourth presents a systematic comment to the translation and to the choices made during the translation of the text
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
Rappresentazione Maschile nella Prostituzione: Analisi della Figura del Cliente
No full textLa prostituzione contemporanea è un fenomeno complesso che questa tesi esamina con particolare attenzione alla figura del cliente, esplorando le implicazioni etiche e sociali del suo coinvolgimento. Attraverso un approccio multidisciplinare, sono state condotte analisi approfondite del contesto socioeconomico di vari paesi, esaminando le motivazioni che spingono gli individui a pagare per il sesso e i loro profili sociodemografici.
Inizialmente, la tesi fornisce un contesto generale sulla prostituzione, delineando le diverse forme e influenze di genere e si evidenzia come la domanda dei clienti giochi un ruolo fondamentale nelle dinamiche del mercato. Le modalità legislative riflettono non solo le normative giuridiche, ma anche profonde visioni morali e culturali delle società in cui sono adottate.
I risultati delle indagini evidenziano le varie motivazioni dei clienti e chiariscono come le dinamiche di potere e le aspettative sociali connesse alla mascolinità patriarcale influenzino profondamente questi comportamenti e le interazioni con il sistema prostituzionale. La tesi sottolinea come la mascolinità patriarcale, con i suoi codici di segretezza, solidarietà maschile e dominio di genere, svolga un ruolo centrale nell'interpretazione e nell'attuazione di queste dinamiche complesse. La virilità emerge come un costrutto sociale influente e determinante nella formazione e nel mantenimento delle strutture sociali contemporanee.
In sintesi, questa tesi chiarisce il legame intrinseco della prostituzione con le strutture di potere e le dinamiche di genere prevalenti nella società, evidenziando l'importanza di comprendere queste interazioni per affrontare il fenomeno in maniera efficace e promuovere politiche che tutelino i diritti e la dignità di tutte le persone coinvolte
