No full textThis book is the result of the SEEM – Solar Eco-Efficient Envelope Model – research project, financed by the Italian Environment Ministry, as part of its funding for research in the field of Energy Efficiency and the Use of Renewable Energy in Urban Areas. The research has been scientifically directed by the editor of this book, Francesca Muzzillo, associate professor of Architectural Technology at the Luigi Vanvitelli Department of the Second University of Naples (SUN). The research has been carried out by SUN in partnership with BENECON scarl and TECN.AV srl.
Architectural integration, executive components of the solar chimney, the ventilated wall and the bioclimatic control have been studied by the Luigi Vanvitelli Department. Under the technological point of view, in the first phase, the research has been undertaken by Francesca Muzzillo at “Low Energy Architecture Research Unit” of London Metropolitan University. At the time of the study, the Luigi Vanvitelli Department was directed by Carmine Gambardella and the members of the department research team involved in the project were, apart from Carmine Gambardella and Francesca Muzzillo, Lorenzo Capobianco and Corrado Di Domenico for architectural design, and Rossella Franchino, Caterina Frettoloso and Antonella Violano for the architectural technology components

A DH-Leavened Musicological Toolbox
No full textGraduate-level training in music research methodologies tends to ignore digital humanities work and overlook the use of digital tools created in support of new forms of reading. Training instead focuses on source material in the student’s area of interest. This material includes secondary and primary (archival) resources, as well as information resources, such as: monuments of music and critical editions; indexes; bibliographies and thematic catalogs; dictionaries and encyclopedias; digital libraries of scores or editions; and databases of period-specific newspapers or journals. Graduate students taking research methods courses already have a toolbox built from their experiences as musicians and students of music, including the ability to read and interpret music notation, to understand theoretical and analytical concepts in music, as well as a command of music history, including the canon of musical works.
Digital humanities has become a major area of academic endeavor at the “interface of technological development, epistemological change and methodological concerns." An important characteristic of digital humanities research has been its interdisciplinarity. We argue that graduate training in musicology needs to include coverage of methodologies applied by digital humanists in support of new forms of reading, not only to broaden the canon of research topics in musicology, but also to build common ground with researchers of other disciplines. We propose that librarians are well positioned to provide this expertise and training
A Twitter Case Study for Assessing Digital Sound
No full textAcademic and cultural heritage institutions around the world have made measurable strides in the development of digital sound archives oriented towards research and access, but their impact on scholarship and society has been little studied. Traditionally, impact has been measured by citations; yet these are problematic metrics for non-traditional outputs like sound recordings. Social media data provide a promising avenue of investigation for measuring scholarly as well as societal impact. Twitter in particular has been shown to provide a high number of references for cultural and research outputs in all disciplines. This study analyzes Twitter references pertaining to the collections of five digital sound archives: British Library Sounds, Europeana Sounds, the Internet Archive Audio Archive, PennSound and UbuWeb. Using text analysis methods to identify high frequency events and trends, and labeling them with a rubric designed for measuring the impact of digital heritage resources, this study provides preliminary insights on user values as they relate to digital sound collections. Despite the limitations of using social media data, the evidence gathered in this case study characterizes aspects of the use of digital sound collections, and may point to future priorities for the digital preservation of sound.Peer reviewe
Against the Grain: Reading for the Challenges of Collaborative DH Pedagogy
No full textThis article provides a critical review of the past five years of literature in digital humanities pedagogy and faculty-librarian collaboration, commingled with reflections on personal practice, which extend findings from the literature. Faculty-librarian partnerships in DH pedagogy reflect a rapidly evolving area of engagement calling for expertise in teaching, subject knowledge, scholarly communication, digital technologies, and DH research methodologies. Although there is a rapidly expanding body of literature on these partnerships, the challenges of the work tend to be minimized. This article expands upon commonly encountered difficulties, and it points to potential solutions and best practices.Peer reviewe

Le differenti gioventù del '68, in: Uguaglianze/differenze. Riflessioni per Anna Rossi-Doria
No full textIn questo articolo l’A. riassume i punti essenziali della sua ipotesi interpretativa a proposito della “generazione del 68”.
Convinta della necessità di decostruire questa categoria, Francesca Socrate si propone di analizzare il profilo sociale e culturale delle studentesse e degli studenti universitari che fecero parte del movimento focalizzando l’attenzione in primo luogo sulla loro età, per arrivare alla definizione di almeno due “generazioni sociali” che, per quanto separate da una ridotta distanza anagrafica, portano i segni di due culture tra loro distanti: la prima è quella dei nati durante gli anni della guerra; la seconda, quella dei nati tra il ‘46 e il ’51. Alla prima coorte generazionale appartengono la maggior parte dei leader del movimento studentesco, alla seconda ragazzi e ragazze più giovani che sono presenti nel movimento, spesso con un’alta intensità di partecipazione, ma in una posizione gregaria. L’A. mette in rilievo come questo rapporto sia nella sostanza solo apparente, dal momento che nell’intreccio fra le due componenti generazionali saranno i più giovani a imporre la loro cultura generazionale, non tanto nelle sue teorizzazioni ma nelle pratiche, mentre le parole, le parole chiave e le parole d’ordine, saranno trovate dalla prima generazione, quella dei nati durante gli anni della guerra.The Diverse Youth Groups of '68
In this paper, the author summarises the main points of her interpretative hypothesis regarding the "'68 generation".
A conviction of the need to deconstruct this category prompted Francesca Socrates to attempt an analysis of the social and cultural profiles of the male and female university students who were part of the movement, focusing principally upon their age in order to define at least two "social generations" which, though separated by only a few years, bear the marks of two widely divergent cultures: the first is that of those born during the Second World War, and the second that of those born between 1946 and 1951. The first generational group contained most of the leaders of the student movement, while the second contained younger people whose role in the movement, though often highly active, was principally that of adherents. The author highlights how this apparent relationship is essentially superficial, since in the interweaving of the two components it was the younger generation who would impose their generational culture, less in theoretical than in practical terms, while the words, the catchphrases and slogans would derive from the first generation, those born during the war years.
