Rappresentazioni della natura nel De Genesi ad litteram di Agostino
No full textThe De Genesi ad litteram, among Augustine of Hippo’s (354-430) works, is the text that most deeply explores the theme of nature and of its representations. This paper, entirely devoted to this twelve books literal commentary on Genesis 1-3, is organized into four sections. Firstly, the origin and the status of the created natures are explored, to clarify the exact meaning of the notion of “creation” (creatio). Secondly, the representations of the divine action towards the cosmos are taken into consideration, to evaluate their use and philosophical functions. In addition, the relation between biblical exegesis and the natural science is taken into account, to point out Augustine’s positive attitude towards the scientific study of the natural world. Finally, Augustine’s view of the “natural order” (ordo naturae) is considered, with special reference to the question of the ontological status of miracles

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
«Iurisconsultus principia iuris [...] trahit a principiis naturae»: la riflessione sulla natura in Alberico da Rosate e Baldo degli Ubaldi
No full textSeveral mediaeval jurists turned their attention not to natural law but to nature itself, addressing the tradition of classical and Christian philosophical and theological thought. We consulted the “entries” nature in the Dictionarium iuris of Alberico da Rosate (c. 1290-1360) and additio of Baldo degli Ubaldi in § Ius naturale (D.1,1,1,3), a famous passage by Ulpianus quoted at the beginning of the Digest. Two of the most prominent 14th-century jurists thus consciously expressed the widespread but unvoiced opinion of the doctores iuris of their time. As Alberico says, «Natura sumitur multis modis»; this makes it difficult to confine matter within the technical coordinates of law but gives great potential to the jurist’s work of creative interpretatio. Secondly, there emerges the awareness of the primary inevitable link between law and nature, since nature is able to create law and to shape the legal system as a whole: it is up to the jurist to recognise and appreciate this connection
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
