The Italian Diocesan Museums: Bridging Religious and Cultural Identity
No full textThe aim of the research is to analyse the specific characteristics of ecclesiastic museums in Italy through their history and their evolution so as to identify their common mission and the different levels of interpretations of the collections by the Catholic community, the local community (regardless of religious motivations) and the other visitors. The analysis is focused on diocesan museums that represent a specific Catholic community identified in a limited geographical region. On the one hand, for the Christian community the ecclesiastical cultural heritage is a qualified expression of the life of the Church in its various expressions of announcement, liturgy, community life and practice of charity, but also document of the history of the Christian community and it is useful instrument of knowledge of faith and devotions; on the other hand the ecclesiastic collections aren’t only composed of sacred objects and their common narration is an important instrument to understand the local identity. Finally, diocesan museums are profane spaces available to introduce everybody to the understanding of religious and cultural concerns of the diocesan regio
From local identity to international recognition. Comparison f two case studies in the Canavese (Piedmont) and Brianza (Lombardy)
No full textLo studio mette a confronto due santuari mariani dell'Italia settentrionale che dal XVI secolo sono stati meta di pellegrinaggio, specie per le popolazioni dei territori circonvicini. Attraverso l'analisi della storia dei due santuari e delle attuali condizioni del territorio sono evidenziate le potenzialità di sviluppo di turismo religioso per i territori di Canavese e Brianza

Technologies for supporting inter-religious and inter-cultural dialogue at religious museums: the on-field experimental action of Museo Diocesano, Milano.
No full textThis project presentation will describe the first results of an ongoing experimental action conducted within the frame of the European FP7 research project “MeLa- Museums in an age of migration” (www.mela-project.eu) about the topic of new museum technologies (Allen, Lupo, 2012), in the religious museum “Museo Diocesano” in Milano.
The “representation” of religious issues in the public discourse of contemporary society seems to be an awkward question, especially in the attempt of museums and cultural institutions to deal with multiculturalism and intercultural dialogue: problems in contesting identities, confronting or questioning on diversities, dialoguing among identities and diversities are even amplified when the subjects of discussion are religious issues in museums.
This experimental action has the aim to discuss and verify the intercultural potential of religion and its role as a privileged ‘place’ for the encounters of different religions within the Museo Diocesano involving limited groups of people of different religions (not catholic) in a guided test visit of ad hoc conceived contents. Based on a collaboration between the Design dept. of Milano Politecnico and ITIA-Institute for industrial technology and automation of CNR (National Research Council), it consists in the design of a visitor experience transforming the contemplative fruition in an interactive and contributive visit, possibly enabling intercultural dialogue too, by the use of digital technologies: i.e. the design of video narrations about some selected items of the museum property stimulating a multifaceted interpretation; the development of a digital interface and platform to enable comments, contributions with analogous issues and to facilitate the connections and relations among visitors; the intangible redesign of the space experience by requiring the visitors to perform “religiously coherent” gestures to activate the contents.
The test is going to be conducted with two different types of users: experts, or “super-users”, meaning persons with a deep knowledge of their own religion (priest, theologians...) who will contribute with their religious point of view, and general public (second generation immigrants, and intercultural community resident in Milano). The reaction of visitors will be evaluated and the role of technologies in supporting forms of intercultural confrontation and understanding during the tests.
The presentation will show the interactive features and the visitors participation and will discuss the way in which this experimental action could eventually inform curation within the museum, providing new information and materials for creating new parallel narrations and perspectives within the current Museo Diocesano intercultural interpretative strategies

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
