La transizione dal politeismo al monoteismo a Verona e nel veronese
Si ha qui l’obiettivo di raccogliere e di interpretare alcune tra le copiose
testimonianze storiche provenienti dall’ambito geografico veronese di città
e di contado risalenti perlopiù al secolo IV, periodo in cui, a Verona come in
tutto l’Impero, successivamente alla coesistenza, si è verificata la progressiva
sostituzione del monoteismo cristiano al politeismo pagano-romano. Questo
è avvenuto nell’arco temporale tra il cosiddetto editto costantiniano di
Milano del 313 e l’editto teodosiano di Tessalonica del 380. A sostegno delle
argomentazioni saranno apportati documenti di tipo archeologico, epigrafico,
e letterario di produzione ecclesiastica
L’io e l’altro tra rete e realtà. Dinamiche identitarie e relazionali online e offline tra gli studenti di una web radio universitaria
L’io e l’altro in rete. Identità e Alterità nelle strutture e nelle funzioni delle (neo)reti sociali
Il contributo intende sviluppare il tema dell’impatto dei media digitali e delle dinamiche di rete sulle forme della soggettività contemporanea. Partendo dalle ultime analisi di Roger Silverstone sulla “Mediapolis”, si rifletterà sulle recenti tendenze all’autonarrazione del Sé attraverso l’utilizzo delle tecnologie digitali, e in particolare delle reti sociali virtuali. L’attenzione sarà rivolta nello specifico al ruolo che l’Altro virtuale ricopre nelle dinamiche riflessive e narrative del Sé, e dunque sul relativo impatto che la pseudo-relazionalità digitale ha nei processi costitutivi dell’identità personale del soggetto contemporaneo. Sulla scia anche del pensiero di Ivan Illich la riflessione silverstoniana sulla “Mediapolis” verrà messa a confronto con l’intuizione illichiana della modernità tecnica come “perdita dei sensi”, attraverso un itinerario anche “archeologico” che situa l’inizio del “Media-Evo” proprio in quel XII secolo che in Illich è il vero spartiacque tra tradizione e modernità.The paper tackles and develops the impact of digital media and network dynamics on the forms of contemporary subjectivity, starting from the latest analysis of Roger Silverstone on “Mediapolis”: an original reflection on recent trends of self-narration through the use of digital technologies, and in particular of virtual social networks, is presented. The focus will be specifically on the role that the Other – the virtual other replacing the real one – plays in the reflexive and narrative dynamics of the self, and thus on the impact that the digital pseudo-relations have on the constitutive processes of the contemporary subject’s personal identity. Referring also to Ivan Illich, we will join Silverston’s reflection on “Mediapolis” with Illich’s view of technological modernity as “disembodiment”, through an “archaeological” route that places the beginning of the “media Middle-ages”, exactly in that Twelfth century, which, according to Illich, is the real watershed between tradition and modernity
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
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
We have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
