No full textL’eredità della guerra. Le tracce della difesa nei progetti urbani del Settecento nizzardo
Get PDFLa storia urbana di Nizza tra i secoli XVII e XVIII evidenzia la transizione dalla progettazione militare alla moderna pianificazione urbanistica. Il progetto della città cambia con il ruolo che questa riveste negli Stati sabaudi, dei quali è parte dal 1388. Il contributo ripercorre le trasformazioni urbane di Nizza nel periodo compreso tra gli assedi del 1705 e del 1792, che ne estinguono il peso strategico-militare. Il breve Settecento nizzardo dovrà affrontare le questioni urbane sottese alla scomparsa funzionale delle mura. Gli interventi progettati, però, sapranno vedere in questi ingombranti residui del passato nuove risorse spaziali, mostrando un trattamento non convenzionale delle strutture difensive rimaste. L’eredità della guerra persiste nel tracciato della città nuova, in particolare nell'espansione verso ovest, la Villa Nova, nel pubblico passeggio delle Terrazze, nella piazza Vittorio e nel porto di Limpia. I quartieri settecenteschi si faranno là dove un tempo si ergevano mura e bastioni, sui siti vacui lasciati dalla loro demolizione o sulle vestigia di opere difensive ormai obsolete.

L'histoire urbaine de Nice entre les XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles met en évidence le passage de la conception militaire à l'urbanisme moderne. Les projets urbains évoluent en fonction du rôle de Nice dans le duché de Savoie dont elle fait partie depuis 1388. Cette contribution retrace les transformations urbaines de Nice entre les sièges de 1705 et 1792, qui éteignent son poids stratégique et militaire. Nice du XVIIIe siècle devra aborder les enjeux urbains sous-jacents à la disparition fonctionnelle des murs. Cependant, les interventions prévues permettront de voir de nouvelles ressources spatiales dans ces encombrants résidus du passé, montrant un traitement non conventionnel des structures défensives. L'héritage de la guerre persiste dans les grandes interventions urbaines, notamment l'expansion vers l'ouest, la Villa Nova, la promenade publique de la Terrasse, la place Victor et le port Limpia. Les nouveaux quartiers seront construits là où se trouvaient autrefois les murs et les remparts, sur les terrains vagues laissés par leur démolition ou sur les vestiges d'ouvrages défensifs désormais obsolètes
Nizza, una città plasmata dalla villeggiatura invernale del lungo Ottocento
No full textIl XIX secolo ha visto lo sviluppo dei resort invernali nella regione della Cote d’Azur. Nizza, grazie al suo clima mite e ad un contorno naturalistico d’eccezione, sarà meta eletta per la villeggiatura invernale dell’alta aristocrazia nordeuropea. Emblema e prototipo della ville de saison creata per un turismo d’élite, Nizza porta i segni di una storia urbana votata all’accoglienza, funzione che dirigerà in modo sempre più consapevole le scelte urbane prese sotto la Restaurazione sarda (1814-60).

The 19th century saw the development of winter resorts in the Cote d’Azur region. Thanks to its mild climate and an exceptional natural environment, Nice was chosen as a destination for the winter holidays of the northern European aristocracy. Emblem and prototype of those villes de saison created for elitist tourism, Nice bears the marks of an urban history devoted to hospitality, a function to which urban choices taken under the Sardinian Restoration were increasingly directed

Cities through the looking glass. Questioning authenticity in copycat cities.
No full textArchitectural plagiarism is a widespread phenomenon. Copycat cities have begun to arise far and wide. New Parises, Venices and villages with English or Dutch motifs have spread internationally, detached from local physical and cultural contexts. Urban mimicry is becoming a remarkable residential design strategy in China, where it affects not only single buildings or monuments, but entire urban landscapes are imported from European regions. The allure of European architectural imagery plays its part in shaping the urban fabrics of Eastern cities. These copycat cities are not theme parks, instead they aim to recreate authentically convincing residential neighbourhoods, complete with amenities and services. This accuracy of recreation contributes to the impression of engagement with the original European lifestyle for inhabitants. On a broader scale, copycat cities challenge traditional concepts of originality and authenticity. Copy has traditionally been considered the antithesis of the original in Western discourse. Given the contrast between traditional notions of originality and copycat cities, the question arises: is it originality or authenticity, we seek in architectural products? This paper is an investigation into the socio-political motivations for producing replica European cities in China. Looking to recent packaged residential projects in China, this paper investigates the sense of authenticity of replicated residential cities by examining architectural form and meaning
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
