    La storiografia del Design e degli Interni nei suoi apparati iconografici è paradossalmente povera delle necessarie “tavole di dettaglio” riguardanti gli interni e arredi, spesso sostituite da foto di dettaglio nelle quali però, se si rende evidente la forma degli elementi, è meno intellegibile la misura della loro consistenza fisica e la gerarchia della loro struttura logico/costruttiva, quella che fa degli spessori e dei giunti la propria cartina di tornasole. nell'articolo si testimonia la ricerca condotta dall'autore presso il Politecnico di Bari. Tale ricerca ha prodotto quelle “tavole di dettaglio”. La figura del serramento, luogo delle discontinuità murarie, ha permesso di risalire alla comprensione delle logiche ottico-proprorzionali utilizzate da Basile nella distribuzione degli spazi. Al contempo l’analisi linguistica degli elementi decorativi, misurata nella continuità logico-proporzionale che lega la singola foglia intagliata negli arredi, con la scala dell’intero edificio, ha messo in evidenza la consapevolezza assoluta dell’architetto non solo di fronte ad una generica concezione di Gesamtkunstwerk o Opera d’arte totale, così come si andava sviluppando in Nord Europa. Essa ha specificato le modalità proto-razionaliste della dimensione tecnico-compositiva di quel linguaggio, usando gli strumenti che lo stesso Basile raccomandava per tutelarsi da ogni approssimazione stilistico formale delle imitazioni rispetto all’esattezza del lavoro di copia inteso come: “uno studio accurato dell’insieme a venir giù sino alle singole parti” . In questa ricerca i materiali d’archivio si sono messi a servizio della formazione, ma spero che allo stesso modo, dall’esperienza didattica, quest’analisi a “venir giù sino alle singole parti”, possa tornare a servizio della ricerca, divenendo utile documento secondo per l’interpretazione storica

    Soft Surfaces Versus Product Innovation. Textile and Local Know-How

    Full text link
    The contribution deals with the relationship between product design and innovation leveraging on the added value of the design to the product. The concept of innovation is here understood not only to produce tout court a new artifact, but also to implement strategies aimed at enhancing the skills and processes already present in the company, which, by means of simple changes in sense or applications can make products unexpectedly innovative. In our region, Apulia, we have a system of firms among the most numerous in southern Italy but, at the same time, with low awareness of the value coming from the support of the design, which can incisively improve strategies and products. Innovation can be realized through recognition of own potentials and a different use of their own competence and technologies already in use at the firm within their territory

    La forma dell'architettura del sale, aspetti costruttivi e caratteri simbolici tra internità e paesaggio. Progetto di un sistema espositivo volto al riuso del magazzino del sale di Cagliari di Pier Lugi Nervi

    Il progetto di laurea (coordinatore Ariella Zattera), seguito come componente del collegio docenti per la disciplina degli Interni sviluppa le problematiche dell'esporre e si serve dell'exibit design per ricucire i rapporti tra la scala vasta del paesaggio salino e quella minuta dell'allestimento degli interni del magazzino del sale di Pier Luigi Nervi

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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 link
    We 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
