La presenza italiana in Albania tra il 1924 e il 1943. La ricerca archeologica, la conservazione, le scelte progettuali.
Full text linkGli anni della presenza italiana in Albania sono stati fondamentali per la ricerca archeologica, storico artistica e la sperimentazione architettonica: il volume vuole offrire una sintesi dell’attività degli archeologi e degli architetti che in quel periodo hanno lavorato, mettendo a confronto le diverse esperienze. Archeologia e architettura sono le discipline a cui il regime ha posto più attenzione anche per il loro apporto propagandistico, ma nel contempo si sono avvalse di interpreti notevolissimi per impegno e sforzo produttivo. Le ricerche degli Italiani, Luigi Maria Ugolini per primo, hanno riguardato l’Albania dalla preistoria all’età bizantina e interessato in particolare il sito di Phoinike e quello di Butrinto. L’ingegnere Dario Roversi Monaco, l’architetto Carlo Ceschi e il pittore Igino Epicoco sono i maggiori responsabili dell’importante apparato grafico che corredava il lavoro degli archeologi. Accanto all’attività archeologica fu posta particolare attenzione alla tutela e alla conservazione. Il restauro del castello di Butrinto è forse l’operazione più importante a cui si affiancava quella della creazione di Musei per l’esposizione dei reperti. L’attività condotta in Albania da ingegneri e architetti italiani a partire dalla prima metà del Novecento è documentata da un gran numero di edifici, opere di ingegneria e pianificazioni urbane. In entrambi i campi l’attività degli italiani si è avvalsa di tutti gli strumenti della propaganda allora disponibili, di cui vengono esaminate caratteri e modalità d’azione.The Italian presence in Albania boosted a huge development of the archeological and historical-artistic research fields, as well as of the architectural experimentation. The volume intends to extensively document the impressive activities carried out by the archaeologists and architects who, often closely, worked in that period. The regime paid a special attention to archeology and architecture, cause of their relevant propagandistic features, involving renowned professionals and frequently reaching outstanding results. Therefore, besides the establishment of big cities regulated by the new urban planning schemes and the imposing infrastructures that radically changed the image of the nation, archaeology tried to justify the Italian presence by reconstructing common origins, ultimately rooted on cultural models provided by Rome
L’agorà-forum di Alesa Arconidea: la fase di età giulio-claudia
No full textThe ancient center of Alesa Arconidea, founded in 403 BC, was one of the first cities to give full and unconditional support to the Romans when they landed in Sicily in 264 BC to wage the First Punic War. This action allowed the city to gain in exchange great privileges, starting from the administrative autonomy which was reconfirmed under Augustus when the city became a municipium. Alesa, which was already flourishing with its commercial and entrepreneurial activities, forged further strong ties with Rome, becoming one of its most loyal cities.
The new Roman presence in the city center was made visible through tangible signs and forms of representation that found their primary expression in the chief monument of the city, the agora, which became a forum. With this contri- bution we intend to focus our attention on the transformations that took place in the monument in this phase, where spaces were adapted according to the new needs of the Roman institutional presence.
In analyzing these transformations, the contribution provided by the use of information technologies, according to a methodology based on the verification and synthesis of analytical data pertinent to archaeological research, was fun- damental
Lina Bo Bardi. La costruzione della scena nel teatro della città
No full textLina Bo Bardi, partita da una cultura visiva e sociale completamente europea, una volta trasferitasi in Brasile viene a contatto con un nuovo tipo di realtà, che le permette non solo di confrontarsi sul piano architettonico con il paese che l’accoglie ottenendo risultati inaspettati, ma anche di ricoprire un ruolo culturale e artistico di spicco. In particolare tramite il medium del teatro la Bo Bardi ha l’occasione di stringere collaborazioni eccellenti. Attraverso l’arte popolare prima e la scenografia poi, tali frequentazioni la porteranno a esprimere un tipo di architettura dedicata alla socialità e che dalla socialità stessa trae motivo d’essere.Lina Bo Bardi, coming from an European visual and social culture, once transferred to Brazil and coming into contact with a new type of reality, not only participates in the architectural discourse of the welcoming country but takes on a leading cultural and artistic role. In particular, it will be through the medium of theater that Bo Bardi will be able to cultivate superb collaborations. First, through folk art and later through scenography, we get to know her and her expression of a type of architecture dedicated to sociality and that gives architecture itself the reason for being
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
Dispelling 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
