Carcere, popolo e punizione nella šanson russa e nei neomelodici napoletani
No full textIl genere musicale conosciuto in Russia come Šanson, una rielaborazione commerciale del folklore criminale, colpisce per la somiglianza con la canzone neomelodica napoletana, che nei testi fa spesso riferimento al mondo criminale. Questo rapporto, che in Italia è oggetto di “panico morale”, è però meno stigmatizzato in Russia, dove è forte il ricordo del contatto tra intellettuali e criminali nei lager negli anni delle grandi purghe. Una spiegazione della popolarità della canzone criminale in Russia come nell’Italia meridionale può essere ricercata nell’analisi di Michel Foucault sul passaggio dal modello punitivo a quello disciplinare, quando scompaiono le biografie criminali (che avevano spesso la forma di ballate): questo significherebbe che le società in oggetto vivono in una fase premoderna – o dobbiamo forse considerarla postmoderna?The song genre known in Russia as Shanson, a popular genre inspired by the traditional criminal folklore, and the Neapolitan “Neo-melodic” song, often referring in its lyrics to the criminal underworld, strike with similarities. While in Italy this connection becomes a stigma, however, in Russia the situation is more complex – a consequence of the experience of the great purges, when intellectuals met criminals in the camps. A possible explanation of the striking popularity of criminal songs both in Russia and in Southern Italy can be found in Michel Foucault’s work on the transition from the punitive system to the disciplinary one, when criminal biographies (often taking the form of ballads) disappeared: this would mean that the described societies live now in pre-modern forms – or should we consider them post-modern
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
Invece del metro: Del perché Anna Achmatova è tradotta amle in italiano, e di cosa ne consegue
No full textNelle traduzioni italiane di poesia russa, generalmente traduzioni in verso libero di testi in versi regolari, si rintraccia una quantità enorme di enjambements aggiunti; enjambements che, in una cultura che non consce più la metrica, paiono spesso essere intesi come unica marca del verso
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 textDispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
