No full textLe lampeggianti campane della libertà. L’americanismo giacobino di Luigi Angeloni
No full textDuring the Revolutionary Triennium the debate concerning the most suitable form of government to be preferred for the Italian nation unfolded in a very articulated fashion. If strong was the party of those who favored an unitarian solution, equally vocal were those who considered a federalist system the only capable to deal with the social fragmentation characterizing the peninsula. Luigi Angeloni (1759-1836), a Jacobin who had taken part in the events of the Repubblica Romana, cultivated a great interest in the development of the American political experience. From his exile in Paris, in the aftermath of the fall of Napoleon Angeloni published the pamphlet Sopra l’ordinamento che aver dovrebbono i governi d’Italia where he pointed out how American federalism was the institutional mechanism to be pursued in order to achieve a veritable independence for Italy. In his following work Dell’Italia uscente il settembre del 1818 Angeloni, deeply disappointed by the decisions taken in Vienna, renewed his appeal for the adoption of a federal system, in his view the only capable to guarantee unity and to avoid the danger of foreign interferences in the country. After moving to London in 1823, Angeloni expanded his political analysis of the Italian situation in a two-volume work Della forza nelle cose politiche upholding his preference for a democracy based on popular sovereignty – «reggersi uno stato a popolo» – and his admiration for «il libero e bel governo degli Stati Uniti Americani» and for the federalist doctrine.Durante il Triennio rivoluzionario la discussione sulla forma di governo più confacente alla nazione italiana si sviluppò in maniera piuttosto articolata. A coloro che sostenevano la necessità di una soluzione unitaria si contrappose chi vedeva invece nel federalismo una risposta adeguata a contrastare la frammentazione sociale esistente nel paese. Sul modello federale americano e sulla sua adattabilità al contesto italiano sono concentrate le riflessioni del giacobino Luigi Angeloni (1759-1836). In esilio a Parigi dal 1800 dopo aver partecipato alle vicende della Repubblica Romana, all’indomani della caduta di Napoleone Angeloni pubblicò il pamphlet Sopra l’ordinamento che aver dovrebbono i governi d’Italia nel quale, auspicando l’indipendenza nazionale e la fine dell’ingerenza straniera nella penisola, ritenne che solamente l’adozione di un sistema federale, analogo a quello statunitense, garantisse il conseguimento di tali obiettivi. Nell’opera successiva, Dell’Italia uscente il settembre del 1818, accanto ad una severa critica delle decisioni prese a Vienna veniva riproposta l’ipotesi confederalistica che aveva nuovamente come punto di riferimento l’esperienza americana. Trasferitosi a Londra nel 1823, Angeloni ampliò il raggio della sua analisi politica riguardante la situazione italiana nei due volumi Della forza nelle cose politiche dove se da un lato rimase fedele ad una visione di democrazia basata sulla sovranità popolare – «reggersi uno stato a popolo» – dall’altro non mancò di riaffermare l’ammirazione per «il libero e bel governo degli Stati Uniti Americani» e per la dottrina federalista
Chapter Ageno il londinese. La vita avventurosa del ministro della Repubblica di Genova in Inghilterra
No full textFrancesco Maria Ageno was appointed three times minister to the Court of St James's by the Most Serene Republic of Genoa. During his long permanence in London – his mission started in 1760 and ended up in 1780 –, he was able to promptly update his government about the stunning events that were about to radically transform not only Great Britain but the whole world. In his correspondence, Ageno carefully described the inception of the colonial uprising in North America, the revolutionary war, and the birth of the new republic. A mercurial character, whose life was characterized by intemperance and prodigality, Ageno became also a habitué of the more fashionable salons of the English capital. At Schomberg House, the residence of Richard and Maria Cosway, where the couple used to host exhilarating musical soirées, very likely Ageno had the chance to meet Baretti, another regular of the a la mode venues of the time
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
