    Nel gennaio del 1865 uscì a Parma il numero di saggio del periodico La Voce delle Donne , ideato da Giovanna Bertòla Garcéa , che firmò spesso i suoi articoli con lo pseudonimo “La Redazione”. Tale prima timida uscita, dove fin dall’esordio si rivendicavano «Diritti e doveri, Istruzione e lavoro per la donna!», diede il via a questo coraggioso progetto che visse faticosamente, da un lato tra accese polemiche fomentate dalla stampa locale, dall’altro nella silenziosa indifferenza dei cittadini parmensi. Durante i due anni di travagliata sopravvivenza, Giovanna non si scoraggiò mai, anzi, radicalizzò le sue posizioni, nonostante gli impedimenti materiali, la defezione di alcune collaboratrici e l’efficace boicottaggio posto in atto dalle gerarchie ecclesiastiche. La giovane redattrice, seppur isolata, poté contare sul valido aiuto di persone a lei fedeli le quali, oltre ad essere preziose collaboratrici, furono amiche generose ed efficienti compagne di lavoro, come Adele Campana e Teodorina Fanelli. Un contributo sostanzioso, ideale e teorico, venne da Anna Maria Mozzoni, che probabilmente aiutò nella progettazione e scrisse spesso sul giornale . Diritti e doveri, istruzione e lavoro: queste furono le parole-chiave che costantemente alimentarono le motivazioni e costituirono i pilastri portanti de La Voce delle Donne

    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

    La letteratura per l'infanzia come fonte per la ricostruzione dell'inclusione scolastica dei disabili in Italia

    Children’s literature represents a historiographical source of considerable importance in educational-historical research. It has always transmitted value systems, social customs and, at the same time, it is a formidable receptor of historical, cultural and educational changes. Italian works of children’s literature, from the second half of the 19th century to the present day, contain numerous representations of disabled characters from which it is possible to derive precise information regarding the cultural and educational context. The contribution aims to highlight the heuristic potential of children’s literature to illuminate processes related to the history of social inclusion of disabled people in Italy and to retrace significant stages in the history of special education. Children’s literature allows a variety of transversal and longitudinal insights and it can be a dissemination tool within extra-university events which, with a glance at the past, enables a deeper understanding also of the dynamics of the present by stimulating comparative work

    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

    Full text link
    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

    Andar per scuole tra le montagne della Basilicata. Un laboratorio nomade tra le scuole rurali e le storie dei maestri nel Pollino

    Full text link
    The contribution outlines the project of an itinerant workshop promoted by the University of Basilicata with the cultural association «ArtePollino» aimed at schoolchildren and students to come back, through an experiential educational journey, on the steps where schooling was done in the past, stitching together individual and community stories, many of them linked to the teachers and female teachers who inhabited and animated those rural hamlets. The project – in planning activities and expected results according to a Public History of Education approach – is in tune with the shared promotion by several institutional and associational actors of an activity in a public space; the involvement of audiences other than specialists (schoolchildren, university students, local community residents, old teachers) and the increased knowledge, preservation and enhancement of the educational heritage offered by the Pollino scholastic, in the rural Basilicata of the twentieth century

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    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
