Un museo per preservare la tradizione cinese del mattone. Land-Based Rationalism Design & Research Center [A museum to preserve the Chinese brick tradition. Land-Based Rationalism Design & Research Center]
No full textMentre nei grandi spazi urbani la cultura contemporanea è stata utilizzata come motore per la riqualificazione degli spazi cittadini, ad esempio con la creazione di quartieri dedicati a gallerie d’arte, musei, e spazi di produzione artistica3, nelle zone periferiche e rurali l’attenzione si è rivolta alla riscoperta della tradizioni locali come veicolo di valori identitari delle comunità di provincia e alla promozione di una rinnovata consapevolezza del ruolo di tali tradizioni come motore di coesione sociale.
Il museo Brick Kiln si inserisce in questo scenario costituendo un tipico esempio della relazione fra la preservazione delle tradizioni e la creazione di un legame con la modernità. Il museo, situato nel cuore della piccola città di Zhu Jiadian, si prefigge l’obiettivo di valorizzare le antiche fornaci per la produzione di mattoni, che risalgono alle dinastie
Ming e Quing, con la riscoperta del forte valore identitario che questa produzione artigianale ha per il territorio
Crowdfunding per la conservazione del patrimonio culturale: il castello di Mothe Chandeniers [Crowdfunding enabling preservation of cultural heritage: the Mothe Chandeniers castle]
No full textIl problema della copertura degli ingenti costi degli interventi di preservazione del patrimonio culturale è da anni al centro del dibattito fra professionisti e accademici che si interessano del settore del patrimonio culturale. Varie proposte
sono state avanzate sulla necessità di differenziare le fonti di finanziamento, non contando più solamente sul supporto tramite fondi pubblici, ma promuovendo anche atteggiamenti imprenditoriali e la partecipazione di privati come sponsors o partners progettuali. Negli ultimi decenni, la modalità di finanziamento tramite crowdfunding è stata proposta
come una valida alternativa di raccolta fondi. Il caso studio della campagnia di equity crowdfunding
della Mothe Chandenires emerge non solo per la sua capacità di attrarre notevoli capitali e per l’originalità della sua campagna di comunicazione ma anche per l’innovazione introdotta dall’idea di acquisto partecipativo di un bene culturale in pericolo. L’iniziativa dimostra che è possibile un più ampio coinvolgimento degli stakeholders e di
un pubblico internazionale di “investitori” tramite processi partecipativi che ne valorizzino il contributo
finanziari e nel processo decisionale pur mantenendo un controllo da parte di stakeholders chiave del
progetto
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Knowing what you don’t know: a tertiary study on knowledge management
No full textPurpose: This paper aims to conduct a tertiary review to analyse the state of the art of literature reviews on knowledge management (KM) published in academic journals and provide an overview of their evolution. From 2000 to 2022, about 500 reviews have been published in the KM field, with most systematic studies compared to bibliometric or meta-analytic studies, and an absence of previous tertiary studies. Therefore, given the lack of previous tertiary research, this paper provides a complete picture of the evolution of review topics in the past and presents implications for both researchers and practitioners. Design/methodology/approach: A classification scheme was defined to cluster and evaluate the literature reviews, both in terms of methodological approach and content. Regarding the content, the various secondary papers were classified according to the purpose of the research (state of the art, taxonomy, research agenda and research framework), the unit of analysis (small and medium enterprise, large company, start-up and university), the KM models adopted and the thematic areas addressed. Furthermore, a tertiary review methodology was identified integrating two main approaches: a bibliometric approach for cluster identification and a systematic approach for the discussion. Findings: Two categories of contributions emerge from the results: those concerning research topics that have found a continuous interest over time and those that have not yet found a constant research interest. This latter aspect is relevant to help researchers conduct future literature analysis in KM research to bridge existing research gaps. Research limitations/implications: This paper provides a unique compendium of search directions to offer a comprehensive overview of the scientific debate about KM. This overview can also be used as a managerial panacea to identify best KM practice guidelines from existing reviews. Originality/value: This is a unique attempt to conduct a tertiary study on KM for more than two decades by providing insights into the structural body of knowledge through academic progress in the subject of KM. Thus, this study expands the field of KM and provides original approaches for research in the field
The WISED knowledge-creating company: rethinking SECI model in light of the digital transition
No full textPurpose: The effect of digital transition on knowledge management (KM) processes is becoming relevant for companies operating in different industries and the body of literature examining this impact is rapidly growing. This paper aims to critically analyse the literature on the impact of digital transition on KM by rethinking the SECI model proposed by Nonaka and proposing the WISED model for the digital knowledge-creating company. Design/methodology/approach: The systematisation of existing studies on the topic and the analysis of the evolution of knowledge creation process in the era of digital transition was carried out through a bibliometric approach. Findings: According to the traditional epistemological and ontological dimensions and considering the innovative KM processes identified by this study (i.e. webification, informalisation, systematisation, explicitation and digitalisation), the results highlight how the proposed WISED model can be adopted by organizations to manage knowledge through the use of digital technologies. Originality/value: Digital transition seems to open up new horizons that can expand the potential use of the WISED model for organisations and society
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
