Diegetic and Background Music in the Cinema: Differences Between the Uses and Functions of Vocal and Instrumental Music
No full textThe traditional semiological theories of cinematographic music is based on the subdivision between diegetic and extradiegetic music, according to some well known theories of literary text assumed in film. In this article we will try to show how this division is obsolete and of limited use for the understanding of the functions of film music. The theory of levels elaborated by Sergio Miceli is instead very useful and has led to the identification of the mediated level and of the 'character music’ [mediated level and of the "music-character"]. It is indeed to this theory that we have referred in interpreting some aspects of Federico Fellini's cinema
Signs of Innovation in European Cinema. Electronic Music in Antonioni and Tarkovsky
No full textIn the process of the emancipation of film music that took place in the first decades after World War II, the filmography of Michelangelo Antonioni and Andrei Tarkovsky offers multiple points of interest. Tarkovsky’s well-established relationship with Eduard Artemyev, matured within the Moscow studio, allowed Tarkovsky to use electronic sounds in some of his films, such as Solaris, in a manner far removed from the worn-out standards of science-fiction cinema. Likewise, Antonioni found in the music of Vittorio Gelmetti a suitable aural commentary on the mental disorders of the protagonist in Deserto rosso, inserting electronic music into the palette to describe the horizons of the inner human psyche. In both cases, the presence of noise is effectively combined with music to create a very complex sound texture
Toshio Hosokawa, film musician
No full textThe article examines the film soundtracks composed by Hosokawa and highlights their characteristics. At the same time, it attempts to contextualise them within the composer’s catalogue and within the main stylistic traits of his poetics. Not least, the article contextualises Hosokawa’s position in the history of Japanese film music

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
No full textWe 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
"Closing the R&D Gap, Evaluating the Sources of R&D Spending"
No full textBoth spending and tax policies have been implemented in the United States with the goal of stimulating private sector research and development (R&D). Karier questions whether current R&D policy, especially the research and experimentation tax credit, can contribute to closing the gap between nondefense expenditures on R&D in the United States and such expenditures in other countries, such as Japan and Germany. He also explores possible changes to our current R&D policy to make it more effective.
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
