Between sacrifice and flavour: an analysis of food practices in different monotheistic religious traditions
No full textQuesta tesi analizza, da un punto di vista sociologico, il ruolo del cibo all’interno delle principali religioni monoteistiche: Cristianesimo, Islam ed Ebraismo. Nonostante la condivisione della fede in un unico Dio, queste religioni presentano interpretazioni teologiche e pratiche liturgiche differenti, che influenzano profondamente la vita quotidiana dei credenti.
Attraverso un’analisi comparativa delle prescrizioni alimentari e delle pratiche rituali associate al cibo, come il digiuno e la benedizione dei pasti, si evidenzieranno le implicazioni sociali, culturali e morali di tali usanze. Ad esempio, si esploreranno il concetto di kasherut nell’Ebraismo, che stabilisce norme rigide sulla preparazione e il consumo di cibi; le norme alimentari dell’Islam, che comprendono il divieto di carne di maiale e l’importanza dell’halal; e le pratiche cristiane, che, pur più flessibili, incorporano significative tradizioni legate a festività e digiuni, come la Quaresima.
Inoltre, la tesi esaminerà come tali pratiche alimentari influenzino non solo la spiritualità individuale, ma anche le dinamiche di inclusione, esclusione e identità collettiva all’interno delle comunità religiose. Verranno approfonditi i modi in cui i rituali legati al cibo fungono da strumenti di coesione e distinzione culturale, fornendo un contesto unico per la riflessione morale e per la regolamentazione dei comportamenti sociali.
Attraverso questa indagine, si intende dimostrare come il cibo, oltre a soddisfare bisogni biologici, rivesta un ruolo chiave nella costruzione delle identità religiose e nell’articolazione delle relazioni sociali, contribuendo a plasmare le comunità moderne.This thesis analyzes, from a sociological perspective, the role of food within the major monotheistic religions-Christianity, Islam and Judaism. Despite sharing faith in one God, these religions have different theological interpretations and liturgical practices, which deeply influence the daily lives of believers.
Through a comparative analysis of food prescriptions and ritual practices associated with food, such as fasting and blessing of meals, the social, cultural and moral implications of such customs will be highlighted. For example, it will explore the concept of kasherut in Judaism, which establishes strict rules on food preparation and consumption; the food regulations of Islam, which include the prohibition of pork and the importance of halal; and Christian practices, which, while more flexible, incorporate significant traditions associated with holidays and fasts, such as Lent.
In addition, the thesis will examine how such dietary practices influence not only individual spirituality, but also the dynamics of inclusion, exclusion and collective identity within religious communities. The ways in which food-related rituals serve as tools of cultural cohesion and distinction, providing a unique context for moral reflection and regulation of social behavior, will be explored.
Through this investigation, it is intended to demonstrate how food, in addition to meeting biological needs, plays a key role in the construction of religious identities and the articulation of social relations, helping to shape modern communities
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
