I sectilia pavimentali delle insulae 38 e 39 di Augusta Praetoria (Aosta)
No full textL’Associazione Italiana per lo Studio e la Conservazione del Mosaico (AISCOM) si è costituita a Roma l’11 ottobre 1990 allo scopo di sostenere in Italia i fini istituzionali del corrispondente organismo internazionale (AIEMA), collocandosi accanto ad altre analoghe associazioni nazionali già costituite in Francia, Inghilterra, Spagna, Tunisia, Nord America.
La divulgazione dei fini istituzionali e lo sviluppo stesso dell’AISCOM si basano sull’apertura dell’Associazione al pubblico degli studiosi e di tutti coloro che, in modo diverso, svolgono attività di ricerca e conservazione nel settore del mosaico e dei pavimenti antichi, soprattutto in ambito nazionale
L’Area sacra del Foro di Augusta Praetoria (Aosta, Italia). Modelli architettonici e materiali costruttivi
No full textAugusta Praetoria Salassorum was founded in 25 a.C. by the confluence of two alpine pass viae, after the definitive conquest of the
Alpes Graiae and Poeninae region; since the first phase of its urbanization, it was provided with a monumental Forum. An intensive
campaign of archaeological investigations has focused on the sacred area, a terraced temenos with two twin temples, maybe dedicated to
the imperial cult. Tuscan, Ionic, and Corinthian capitals both in local travertine and conglomerate, recently unearthed, reveal a mixed
decoration belonging to the original building complex. Such simultaneous presence of different architectural orders, applied in a building
context derived from late Republican terraced sanctuaries, provides political ideology with a strong visual power, strengthening the deep
Romanization process in the area. Moreover, an impressive amount of imported marbles from the Forum buildings (slabs, moulded
frames, fragments of monolithic shafts) shows a huge building programme, which lasts up to the mid-Imperial period.
Augusta Praetoria Salassorum, fondata nel 25 a.C. alla confluenza di due corridoi di attraversamento alpino, al culmine del processo
di conquista di Alpes Graiae e Poeninae, si dota fin dalle origini di un imponente complesso forense. Una vasta campagna di indagini
archeologiche ha interessato l’area sacra, temenos terrazzato con due templi gemelli forse destinati al culto imperiale. Capitelli
tuscanici, ionici e corinzi in travertino locale e conglomerato, recuperati negli scavi, rivelano una decorazione architettonica mista
pertinente all’impianto originario: una compresenza di ordini che, in un’area sacra figlia dei complessi terrazzati tardo-repubblicani,
conferisce potenza visiva al radicamento ideologico e materiale di una romanizzazione energica. Inoltre, un’impressionante quantità di
marmi d’importazione (lastre, partiture orizzontali, frammenti di fusti monolitici), provenienti dagli edifici forensi, rivela programmi
monumentalizzanti che si protraggono almeno fino alla media età imperiale
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
