Vanini e la « Prudenza » di Cristo: da Cardano a d’Holbach
No full textAndrzej Nowicki, one of the most distinguished scholars of Giulio Cesare Vanini, wrote that "the work vaniniana [...] is one of the first in European culture, in which the person of Jesus, as a man, is completely devalued". In fact, Vanini likens Christ to a Machiavellian politician, that is, a wily politician, amoral, dissembler and liar, addicted to the exclusive achievement of the goals is proposed. In support of its argument, the philosopher burnt at Toulouse in 1619 cites four Gospel episodes, three of which taken from the De sapientia of Cardano. The same "Machiavellian" interpretation of Christ and the same Gospel episodes are taken literally by the anonymous author of the Traité de trois imposteurs, the clandestine manuscript more prevalent throughout the eighteenth century. One of the cases cited by Vanini and by the anonymous author of the Traité will eventually be taken to support the same interpretation of the figure of Christ, in the Histoire critique de Jésus-Christ, ou Analyse des raisonnée Evangiles of Baron d'Holbach, demonstrating the role of "bridge" between the legacy late Renaissance and modern rationalism that Vanini overlaid.Andrzej Nowicki, uno dei massimi studiosi di Giulio Cesare Vanini, ha scritto che «l’opera vaniniana […] è una tra le prime, nella cultura europea, in cui la persona di Gesù, anche come uomo, sia del tutto svalutata». In effetti, Vanini assimila Cristo a un politico machiavellico, cioè a un politico astuto, amorale, dissimulatore e mentitore, dedito all’esclusivo raggiungimento dei fini che si è proposti. A conforto della sua tesi, il filosofo bruciato a Tolosa nel 1619 cita quattro episodi evangelici, tre dei quali tratti dal De sapientia del Cardano. La medesima interpretazione “machiavellica” di Cristo ed i medesimi episodi evangelici vengono ripresi alla lettera dall’anonimo autore del Traité de trois imposteurs, il manoscritto clandestino più diffuso di tutto il Settecento. Uno degli episodi citati dal Vanini e dall’anonimo autore del Traité sarà infine ripreso, a sostegno della medesima interpretazione della figura di Cristo, nella Histoire critique de Jésus-Christ, ou Analyse raisonnée des Évangiles del barone d’Holbach, a dimostrazione del ruolo di “ponte” tra l’eredità tardo-rinascimentale e il razionalismo moderno che Vanini svolse.

Na verdade, Vanini assemelha Cristo a um político maquiavélico, isto é a um político astuto, amoral, dissimulador e mentiroso, dedicado exclusivamente a alcançar os fins que se propôs. Em favor de sua tese, o filósofo queimado em Toulouse no ano de 1619 cita quatro episódios evangélicos, três dos quais tratam do De sapientia de Cardano. A mesma interpretação “maquiavélica” de Cristo e os mesmos episódios evangélicos foram retomados literalmente pelo anônimo autor do Tratado dos três impostores, o manuscrito clandestino mais divulgado dos Setecentos. Um dos episódios citados por Vanini e do anônimo autor do Tratado eventualmente será feito, em apoio a mesma interpretação da figura de Cristo, na História crítica de Jesus Cristo, ou Análise racional dos evangelhos do Barão d’Holbach, para demonstração do papel de “ponte” entre a herança tardo-renascentista e o racionalismo moderno que Vanini desenvolveu.

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
