Sophocles’ Laocoön
No full textFive textual fragments (plus an indirect reference and an isolated word) of Sophocles’ Laocoon are preserved from indirect tradition. In this volume, after a reconstruction of the mythographic variants on the story of the Trojan priest, all the fragments are presented in original text and in translation, with critical apparatus and philological commentary. The volume aims to reconstruct the dramaturgy of the Sophoclean drama, ordering the surviving fragments in a sequence that follows the possible succession of the scenes of the tragedy. To complement the textual fragments, two vase painting fragments, one preserved in the Jatta Museum at Ruvo di Puglia, the other in Berlin, provide the possibility of reconstructing a further, possible scene of the drama not attested by literary tradition
ΟΥΑΙ ΟΥΑΙ, il secondo grido dell’aquila : Angeli apocalittici e demoni sconfitti nella iscrizione greca (integrata) della "Natività mistica" di Botticelli
Full text linkThe focus of this contribution is on the long inscription in Greek placed on the upper margin of Botticelli’s Mystic Nativity, and in particular on the lacuna that compromises the readability of the last passage of text, for which a proposal for integration is made. According to the proposed reconstruction, the Devil, represented by the host of ridiculous little demons in almost cartoonish postures, “is sinking himself in the earth” – ΤΑΦΡΕΥΟΜΕΝΟΝ according to our integration – overwhelmed and annihilated by divine glory in its highest triumph, the Nativity of Jesus Christ
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

No full textSegesta e il mondo greco coloniale attraverso lo studio delle anfore greco-occidentali da aree sacre: primi dati
Full text linkLo studio riguarda le anfore vinarie di produzione greco-occidentale provenienti da due aree sacre di età arcaica e classica di Segesta, per le quali disponiamo di dati archeologici, sinora rimasti inediti: l’area sacra sull’Acropoli Nord documentata dal cosiddetto scarico di Grotta Vanella e il santuario extraurbano di contrada Mango. I reperti anforici sono stati studiati secondo le norme del progetto FA- CEM e sono stati attribuiti a tipologie e produzioni più o meno note. Lo studio di tali reperti inediti è stato affiancato da una revisione sistematica delle anfore greco-occidentali segestane già edite, rinvenute negli scavi stratigrafici condotti negli anni Novanta del secolo scorso in alcune aree di abitato, e ha consentito di chiarire i vettori e le modalità di acquisizione di tale classe di materiali nella città elima, inserendo il fenomeno nel quadro più generale del commercio anforico della Sicilia e del Mediterraneo centro-meridionale. La contestualizzazione nell’ambito dei due santuari dei dati acquisiti ha permesso inoltre di meglio definire il ruolo nel tempo e i possibili modi di utilizzo di tali contenitori e del loro contenuto nell’ambito delle pratiche rituali, precisando alcune delle dinamiche di contatto tra Segesta e l’ambiente greco, e di interazione culturale tra Greci e ‘indigeni’ ritualizzate all’interno delle due aree sacre.This research focuses on western Greek wine amphorae found in Segesta, in two Archaic-Classical sanctuaries which have provided still unpublished archaeological data: the sacred area of the Northern Akropolis documented by the so-called Grotta Vanella dump and the extra-urban sanctuary of Contrada Mango. The amphorae fragments have been studied according to the standardised methods imple- mented for the data base of FACEM and attributed to more or less-known typologies and provenances. The study of these finds has been accompanied by a systematical review of all published western Greek amphorae yielded by the stratigraphical excavations undertaken in the 1990ties in some urban areas of Segesta. This analysis has led to a better understanding of the commercial vectors and the mecha- nisms of purchase of these vessels in the Elymian town against the background of the circulation of this class in Sicily and southern-central Mediterranean. Furthermore, the contextualisation of the new data within the frame of the two sanctuaries has allowed for a more precise and diachronic definition of the containers’ role and their contents in the ritual practices. It has also clarified certain dynamics of contact between Segesta and the Greek milieu and the cultural interaction between the Greek and the ‘Indigenous’ population, ritualised within the two sacred areas
Greco : lingua, storia e cultura di una grande civiltà
No full textNell’ antica Grecia sono custodite le radici della nostra cultura. Risalire alle fonti di questa eredità significa capire meglio non solo la lingua che parliamo, ma anche la civiltà a cui apparteniamo e i suoi meccanismi. Significa capire meglio noi stessi.
Per immergerci via via in quel mondo che ancora ci parla e ci fa riflettere, in ogni volume, da un lato si approfondisce un aspetto della storia e della cultura greca, dall’ altro si affronta la grammatica, assaporandone le sfumature e le finezze. A corredo, una selezione di
testi per lasciarsi affascinare dalla voce degli antichi, un glossario e una raccolta di esercizi con cui applicare le nozioni grammaticali
