    Tracce di sepolture infantili a Falerii e nel suo territorio

    Excavations carried out in the Ager Faliscus in the last twenty years of the 19th century during the survey for the Carta Archeologica d’Italia, were hampered by severe difficulties which are reflected in the incomplete publication of the necropolises, also due to the systematic sack of the tombs by illegal diggings. This did not allow those who approach the study of the funerary contexts of this territory to offer precise data on the composition of the grave goods and on the aspects of the ritual. Moreover, in many cases it was impossible to get information about the composition of the grave goods, considering the long use of the chambers, which host many generations between the 6th and the first half of 3rd century BC. Nevertheless, in some cases it is possible to reconstruct the presence of child burials thanks to the reduced dimensions of the loculi or for the use of special sarcophagi. It is also sometimes possible to recognize objects suggesting the young age of the deceased. This paper aims at presenting these cases from Falerii and the smaller centers of its territory, in an attempt to identify any recurring characteristics that respond to specific requests of a ritual nature, highlighting on the other hand the poor visibility of the burials of children in the Faliscan area

    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
