Nuova/”vecchia”/nuova danza. Alla ricerca di un’identità della coreografia italiana
No full textLa danza italiana cerca se stessa, oggi, anche mettendo in campo pratiche della memoria tese a mantenere viva l’attualità di creazioni coreografiche che, nate in un passato relativamente recente, si proiettano sul tempo che viviamo ora per tentare di farne parte. In piena sintonia con un panorama internazionale denso di artisti ugualmente attenti alla auto-costruzione di un repertorio del contemporaneo, l’ampio progetto RIC.CI ideato da Marinella Guatterini a partire dal 2011 e ancora aperto, il monografico progetto Antologia, voluto da Roberto Zappalà tra il 2016 e il 2019, i singoli spettacoli Otto 2003/2018 (2018), di Kinkaleri, che già nel titolo porta un riferimento esplicito al precedente Otto (2003), come peraltro Ilinx. Assolo in ritornello (playing vertigo) (2009), di Simona Bertozzi, richiesto, a dieci anni dal debutto, dalla Biennale Danza di Venezia e diventato quindi Ilinx. Don’t stop the dance (2019), sono soltanto alcune delle possibili modalità per dire desideri, esigenze e opportunità che nutrono la scena della danza italiana dei nostri giorni, contribuendo a definirne forma e sostanza.
Il saggio intende avvicinare alcune delle operazioni realizzate da artisti che hanno scelto di rifare uno dei titoli da loro stessi creati in un passato inevitabilmente vicino, a livello di grande storia, ma già del tutto lontano a livello di storia personale, ovvero di rifare se stessi, in un processo che, connotando e articolando sempre le pratiche del rifare in danza, va a modificare alcuni dei gradienti di uno spettacolo che passa necessariamente al rango di “originale”. Si vuole così mettere a fuoco alcuni tratti di un processo di memoria che mira, in definitiva, a precisare, se non a costruire, una identità di artista e di essere umano, quindi individuale e personale, ma anche generazionale e culturale, o forse, perché no, nazionale

Bragaglia-Ruskaja: la danza come modo d'essere
No full textL’intervento intende mettere a confronto due libri quasi contemporanei: La danza come un modo d’essere di Jia Ruskaja, edito nel 1927, e Scultura vivente di Anton Giulio Bragaglia, uscito nel 1928. Se ne individueranno costanti e varianti, verificando quanto i due artisti si siano influenzati vicendevolmente e quanto le loro poetiche collimino o differiscano
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
A COMPARISON BETWEEN FRAX AND OSTEOPOROSIS CANADA’S TOOL IN ASSESSMENT OF MAJOR OSTEOPOROTIC FRACTURE RISK IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN
No full textThe study was carried out to compare the 10-yr risk of major
osteoporotic fracture provided by the tool of Osteoporosis Canada (OC) and by the WHO’s calculator FRAX on an identical group of postmenopausal women.
We randomly selected n.298 women aged 50 yr and older ,we collected the risk factors requested by the algorithms and we performed DXA scan.Then we calculated the risks . The mean age of our sample was 60,05 yr (range 50-84).As expected, the differences in the rate of women’s assignment to analogue risk classes by the two tools were statistically significant (p<0,001). The rate of accordance, in terms of class risk allocation, was of 41,9%, in all other cases FRAX indicated lower risk classes than the OC’s tool and in 9,7% they respectively assigned a low risk vs an high risk for identical wome
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
