No full textIl restauro e i possibili modi per “comunicare” il patrimonio culturale
No full textLo scenario normativo internazionale conferma il diritto di accesso alla cultura quale risorsa per la produzione di benefici, non tanto economici, ma di sviluppo sociale: in tal senso, il patrimonio “contiene” interessi e valori che determinano una responsabilità collettiva di conservazione. Nonostante partecipazione e coinvolgimento siano condizioni imprescindibili, tali valori restano solo potenziali perché non pienamente percepiti. Attraverso l’illustrazione dell’esperienza in corso sull’Isola Comacina, il contributo propone di considerare i contenuti del restauro come letture alternative per una comunicazione capace di ricostruire un rapporto tra persone e cose perché, a cavaliere tra scienze umanistiche e scienze esatte, si indaga la vita dei luoghi scoprendo la consistenza fisica degli oggetti e la conseguente continua esigenza di cura, che rimandano ad esperienze quotidiane capaci di descrivere profondamente la dimensione vitale del patrimonio culturale.
The international regulatory framework confirms the right of access to culture as a resource for the production of benefits, not just economic, but linked to social development: in this sense, heritage “contains” interests and values that determine a collective responsibility in conservation. Although participation and involvement are essential conditions, these values remain only potential because not fully perceived. Through the description of the on-going experience on the Isola Comacina, the contribution proposes to consider contents of restoration as possible alternative interpretations for a communication able to rebuild a relationship between people and things because, working astride between humanities and sciences, it investigates the life of places discovering the physical aspect of objects and the need for continuing care, which refer to everyday experiences, and deeply describing the vital dimension of cultural heritage
NON INVASIVE ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR THE STUDY OF MATERIALS OF ANCIENT MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS
No full textDuring the last decades many researchers have tried to understand what has most influenced the extraordinary sound and beauty of the masterpieces made by the ancient violin makers, and this still represents a challenge for the coming future. Due to the fact that historical written documents about the making process are scarce, the current knowledge is mainly based on the rediscover of the ancient know-how through scientific analyses performed on the materials. This article focuses on the research activities and the methods developed in the Arvedi Laboratory of Non-Invasive Diagnostic of the University of Pavia. The lab, hosted in the prestigious Museo del Violino in Cremona, has the privilege to get in contact with some of the most important musical instruments of the violin making history. Many admirable works of famous violin makers such as Stradivari, Amati and Guarneri are analyzed through many different non-invasive and non-destructive techniques. The research team uses standardized methods according to an analytical protocol specially developed for this purpose. These activities aim to enrich a basic knowledge focused on Antonio Stradivari and his contemporaries violins' materials and bring us closer to the enigma surrounding the beauty and the sound of their masterpiece
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
