In-betweenness as destiny. Paradigm shift in urban and architectural design of post-World War II Belgrade
No full textBelgrade has undergone significant changes in its geopolitical position in the Balkans throughout history. Situated on the edge, Belgrade holds a unique position where cultures and civilizations converge, struggle, and interact over time. The city lacks continuity, both in its legislation and in its development. The only constant is its state of perpetual "in-betweenness" culturally, politically, and technologically. This "in-betweenness" serves as an architectural factor in post-WWII Belgrade, giving rise to spaces representing a radical political paradigm shift. These spaces transition from heroic ideological scenes to ordinary living spaces, where "in-betweenness" remains a daily destiny for the people of Belgrade
Heritage Experience Design: case of Sardinia
No full textThis paper explores the emerging concept of heritage form the perspective of how design can contribute in promoting value to its experience, either individual and collective, tangible and intangible.
It draws on previous research and projects by the AnimazioneDesign research unit, and discusses a series of approaches to heritage, design, and teaching.
Every chance to experiment with new ideas and teaching approaches – especially when it is carried out in intensive form – is relevant to our work and research. The Heritage Experience Design Scientific School (HexD), which took place in Alghero and Porto Conte in September 2022, and that we wish to present here, was one of such: a major opportunity to explore a complex theme such as that of heritage, investigating ways and forms with which to promote and enhance some of its many and diversified manifestations.
As a matter of fact, the HexD project addressed in the first place the need to explore a series of possibilities of valorization and mise en scene, and ways to convert them into guidelines to promote something as undefined – notably in its intangible form – as heritage. In the context of the current communication system, of a generalized access and almost obsessive consumption of information, promoting the heritage implies in fact today a mosaic of specialist skills, ranging from technological ones to the ability to represent places, or ultimately, to tell stories
Emergency-proof tourism: The heritage of industrial archaeology in internal areas as a potential for a sustainable tourism
No full textChanges associated with the concept of heritage involve evolution and expansion of scope and direction. The previous heritage concept concentrated on the strict protection of nature reserves and individual monuments. Recent heritage concept has focused on the common heritage of humanity. Over the last decades, the heritage concept includes new issues of environmental protection and sustainable development.
Emergency-Proof Tourism: The Heritage of Industrial Archaeology in Internal Areas as a Potential for Sustainable Tourism aims to embrace the current Covid-19 pandemic crisis as a challenge and opportunity to activate heritage resources for sustainable tourism purposes. Emergency-proof tourism examines the heritage associated with the industrial past and development strategies. Strategies can have a direct or indirect link to tourism. Development strategies simultaneously protect heritage and transform the space and experience of people, both indigenous and visitors
Geotourism as a Development Tool of the Geo-mining Park in Sardinia
No full textTheory and practice about geoparks and the geotourism concept consider not only the geological heritage, but also its relationship to all other aspects of the natural, cultural and intangible heritage as a cornerstone of sustainability and well-being. In doing so, geotourism could be a powerful tool for the preservation and development of the heritage. The Geo-mining Park in Sardinia marks centuries of geological, mining and historical and environmental heritage. The recognition of the Sardinian Geopark by UNESCO in 1997 as innovative, and as a heritage of great importance, created administrative and legislative opportunities. However, the territory lacks a territorial development strategy and administration structure for managing the heritage. With the indirect pressure from the tourism industry the region faces, over the next few decades, a deep social-economic crisis and neglect of the landscapes and settlements. This paper aims to examine geotourism as sustainable strategic approach and territorial planning tool that based on multi-source networking and, that benefits both, development of the local community and preservation of the Geo-mining Park in Sardinia
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
