Questione abitativa e periferie a Milano: dinamiche, politiche, interventi per l’abitare
No full textNel lavoro si analizzano le politiche di intervento per la casa e le periferie avviate a Milano, nel loro doppio ruolo, da una parte di risposta a forme di disagio nevralgiche per controbilanciare le disuguaglianze di reddito e promuovere la cura della comunità; dall’altro, di promozione della rigenerazione urbana attraverso interventi place-based, capaci di intervenire sul tessuto socio-territoriale esistente. L’obiettivo è di verificare la portata e l’ampiezza di tali interventi e la loro attenzione alla qualità complessiva dell’abitare, inteso come sistema di azioni e relazioni strutturate tra gli abitanti e i luoghi.Housing Issue and Peripheries in Milan: Dynamics, Policies, Initiatives for Living
This article analyses the intervention policies for housing and the peripheries which were enacted in Milan, especially with regard to their two main purposes: on one hand as a response to localised hardships to counterbalance income balances and promote community care; on the other as a way to further urban regeneration through place-based interventions, capable of intervening in the pre- existent socio-territorial fabric. Our aim is to verify the scope and extent of these interventions and the importance they place on the overall quality of living, in the sense of a framework of actions and structured relations between the residents and the places they inhabit
Le periferie urbane europee in una prospettiva geografica: definizioni, narrazioni, politiche
No full textIl termine periferia possiede una notevole carica emotiva ed evocativa sulla quale, a livello europeo, si è molto insistito in ambito mediatico in questi ultimi anni: quando però si tenta di analizzare il vocabolo, o di definirlo per obiettivi specifici, ci si imbatte nella sua ambiguità. Partendo dal modello duale centro-periferia, la presente riflessione mette in evidenza la natura relazionale della periferia, spesso in rapporto di dipendenza, o addirittura di dominazione, rispetto a un centro. Sulla base di queste considerazioni, gli interventi rivolti a ciascuna periferia necessitano di approcci specifici e integrati.The term periphery has considerable emotional and evocative power which has been given a great deal of media attention in Europe in recent years. Yet when one attempts to analyse the word, or to define it for specific purposes, one is confronted with its ambiguity. Using the dual model of centre-periphery as a starting point, this study highlights the relational nature of the periphery, which is often in a relationship of dependency, or even subordination, with respect to a centre. Based on these considerations, the interventions in each periphery require separate tailored and integrated approaches
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
