Il dolore e l’eterno. Lettura di Per diverse ragioni di Domenico Brancale
No full textThis essay will consist of a critical reading of Per diverse ragioni, the latest collection by the poet Domenico Brancale published in 2017 for Passigli. Through a transversal reading of the poetic text, the main thematic and poetic issues of the author will be analyzed. A second point of interest will be the deepening of the ontological framework and of the conceptual meanings of the collection, and it will be connected to an investigation relating to its formal and philosophical-speculative derivations
«Sola nel letto di me stessa» Osservazioni sulla poetica di Biancamaria Frabotta ne "La materia prima"
No full textThis essay focuses on the poetic conception of Biancamaria Frabotta in the collection La materia prima. The literature dedicated to Frabotta’s poetry is to date very wide. However, no studies on the collection have been produced to date. In order to offer an unprecedented insight into Frabotta’s poetic work, the purpose of this study is to perform a study of the textual corpus, approached through a philosophical critical methodology of analysis. Such analysis will be divided into three paragraphs and will focus on the issues raised by the ontological and aesthetical centrality of the figure of the animal, the metaphysical conception of the poet and the theoretical compositional component. The study will provide a new epistemological reading of the second-last poetry collection of Frabotta, which will also allow for a deeper understanding of her work. A new contribution will thus enrich the critical literature on the author both in the sense of the methodology and of the research focus
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
Valuation of historical, cultural and environmental resources, between traditional approaches and future perspectives
No full textIn the field of economics, assessments involve the consideration of the complex market relationships that directly affect economic goods, often having to consider also the possibilities of recovery, reuse, or land transformation. Financial and economic assessments mainly concern investment decisions finalized to the allocation of private and public resources. Multidimensional assessments rationalize the choices driven by conflicting criteria and objectives. The aim of the paper is to highlight the specificities of various types of assessments that have as object HCERs and, at the same time, we want to identify some correspondences between these aspects of the past and the future perspectives highlighted by the encyclical letter “Praise Be to You” of the Holy Father Francis “on care for our common home”. First, the characteristics of HCERs and the purposes that motivate their assessment are examined. Finally, a brief critical analysis about the various types of HCERs assessment was presented
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
