Islam metropolitano
No full textAttraverso una ricerca di campo durata cinque anni, l’autrice traccia un affresco etnografico dei luoghi dell’Islam metropolitano. Una straordinaria pluralità, rappresentativa della più vasta situazione nazionale. I migranti globali musulmani provengono non solo dai paesi dell’Europa dell’est e del Maghreb, ma dal Sahara e dal Medio Oriente, dall’Africa nera e dall’Asia. In contrasto con la dominante visione xenofoba, ormai uno straordinario Islam plurale si sta tacitamente radicando in Italia e contribuendo alla trasformazione urbana, sociale e politica delle aree metropolitane.
Esperienze missionarie, di militanza messianica, di ascetismo, all’interno dei processi d’inclusione e di conflitto entro i quali si ascrivono i vissuti di fede, rivelano una complessa rappresentazione polifonica. Le narrazioni mostrano inediti focus di osservazione sul funzionamento dei sistemi comunitari, sui processi di re-islamizzazione, sul vertiginoso espandersi in Italia di movimenti tradizionalisti ed islamisti a carattere internazionale
Povertà e conflitti: l’esodo dei minori afghani non accompagnati
No full textPoverty and conflicts: the exodus of afghan unaccompanied minors · Framed in the field of human sciences research, this article aims to explore an international issue, which is also investing Europe, that has not been sufficiently addressed in-depth by the interpretive paradigm of italian sociology; that of lonely children fleeing poor war zones. In particular, the
analysis focuses on the exodus of unaccompanied afghan minors, highlighting the identity and religious profile; the mechanisms of political and religious conflict in Afghanistan that produce differentiated migration chains and routes; the centrality of Iran, the country of birth or first exodus of a part of the interviewees and departure terminal of hazara minors to Europe; and the policies of reception and refusal of child refugees implemented by the major
European countries of arrival, including Ital

Prefazione in "Musulmani in Italia. Impatti urbani e sociali delle comunità islamiche"
No full textAlessandra Caragiuli ha curato la prefazione del volume “Musulmani in Italia. Impatti urbani e sociali delle comunità islamiche”, scritto da F. Ciocca (2018, Meltemi). Lo studio sugli impatti urbani, sociali ed economici delle comunità islamiche nel territorio romano, offre una chiave di lettura a coloro che si interrogano su cosa sia diventata oggi una delle principali metropoli europee in un momento storico di interazione conflittuale tra gli universi culturali, di retoriche xenofobe dell’appartenenza, di ascesa della violenza e degli integralismi
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
