GENOVA COME POLO DI BENI E MANUFATTI ARTISTICI: FONTI E PERCORSI DI RICERCA (SECOLI XV-XVII)
Le Indie dei genovesi. Reti di mercanti e investimenti tra la penisola italiana, il Medio Atlantico e l’Oceano Indiano (1498-1520)
Questo contributo prende in esame gli investimenti commerciali dei
genovesi nell’area atlantica tra il XV e il XVI secolo, tentando di seguire
una nuova prospettiva di ricerca. Solitamente la tradizione storiografica si
è concentrata sul supposto spostamento degli investimenti dei genovesi dal
Mediterraneo orientale e dal Mar Nero all’Oceano Atlantico. Qui si mostra come alcune reti di mercanti investirono tanto verso occidente, ossia nella Macaronesia e l'Atlantico americano, quanto verso l'Oceano Indiano, attraverso le rotte che circumnavigavano l'Africa

Togliatti nel giudizio del mondo cattolico
Il saggio esamina la variegata immagine che i cattolici italiani ebbero del leader comunista, mettendo a confronto i giudizi di intellettuali e politici con la percezione popolare espressa nelle molte lettere che Togliatti riceveva da preti, frati e comuni fedeli, ora raccolte nel suo archivio.The essay examines the multifaceted imagine Italian Catholics had of the Communist leader, comparing the judgments that came from politicians and intellectuals with the popular perception which was expressed in many letters Togliatti received from priests, monks and common Catholics, letters now filed in his Archiv
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
The 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
“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
