La Cosa Queer: saggio introduttivo
No full textIl tentativo di costruire un canone queer non può che essere proposto sotto il segno dell’ironia. Di fatto, nonostante alcuni degli autori e delle autrici che presentiamo abbiano assunto un ruolo quasi eroico nella rappresentazione della teoria queer, e nonostante i testi che presentiamo siano, ciascuno a suo modo, testi-chiave, sappiamo con certezza che questa è la nostra selezione e che ciò ha aggiunto un portato performativo al contenuto espressivo dei testi. Sappiamo che questo effetto è coestensivo a qualunque operazione di reiterazione, e dunque anche a quella forma particolare di reiterazione che va sotto il nome di traduzione culturale
Canone inverso. Antologia della teoria queer.
No full textInstabile e infedele conglomerato di senso, il queer è presentato come un metodo di critica permanente a una socialità sessuale e di genere normalizzata e assimilata.
I testi che compongono il volume, tradotti per la prima volta, ci introducono in un laboratorio dove gli strumenti del pensiero contemporaneo (marxismo, psicanalisi, femminismo, linguistica strutturale, studi culturali) vengono usati per scandagliare sia il dibattito pubblico, accademico, sia l'attivismo LGBT americano ed europeo dalla fine degli anni Ottanta.
Le autrici e gli autori che presentiamo tematizzano la tensione tra instabilità del desiderio e persistenza delle norme identitarie, la valenza pubblica degli affetti, la contestazione del mito della visibilità e della rispettabilità gay e lesbica, la resistenza alle dinamiche che generano nuove forme di abiezione dietro la facciata di una politica integrazionista della sessualità. L'orizzonte che si apre fa spazio a una politica che viene dopo l'identità e a un'etica antisociale e non riproduttiva.
Canone inverso offre una visione del queer come pratica teorica all'interno di discipline diverse, non pacificata e politicamente trasformativa.

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
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
