Gino Peressutti (1883-1940): la professione dell'architetto fra trasformazioni urbane e grande capitale in Italia nei primi quarant'anni del '900. Il ruolo dell'alta finanza cattolica e vaticana: la contrapposizione con Marco Piacentini fino all'E42, la genesi della città
No full textImmagine. Identità. L'estetica dell'arte contemporanea nella conservazione delle superfici
No full textThe image of cities is determined most decidedly by the surfaces of architecture, which, from one period to the next, reflect oscillations of taste. Surfaces become the reflection both of the culture within which designers operate and of the culture of the community at large. The conservation’s role is to take heed of the needs of the community over time.
There are many physical factors of this transformation, which remains on the borderline between the demands of a cultural nature and aesthetic experience. In particular, the greater attention being paid to the perceptibility of the distinct parts exacerbates the relation at the borderline between, on the one hand, the edge of the lacuna in the plasterwork − conserved as a sign of the passing of time − and, on the other, the still intact parts – with picturesque and, at times, practically Disney-like effects.
In the submitted paper, this acceptance on the part of the community − of lacune, fragmented plaster and the roughness of surfaces − is interpreted in terms of the consolidation of an “informal aesthetics” as adopted by such artists as Alberto Burri. One’s relations with the matter, and expression of the rending or the breaking of matter, become the measure of the relationship that arises over time, considered as a concept linked not to history but authenticity.
In respect of this condition, Damien Hirst’s exhibition, “Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable” (Pinault Collection, Venice 2017) provides a perfect expression of this borderline area between image and authenticity. The exhibition’s recovered fake ‘treasures’ are sculpted in three forms: as emerging from the underwater excavation campaign, restored (conservation) and as ‘redeemed’ in the forms presumed to be original. This ambiguity of choice shows how restoration has become a part of popular culture, as a representation of the work, figuring as a factor whereby breakages, fragmentation and decay play a role in the process of acknowledgement of the authenticity of a given work. This paper aims to investigate these elements starting from an aesthetical analysis of the history and the theory of restoration and conservation, from the postwar period, and verifying this attitude in several contemporary case studies (e.g. the Fortezza fortress by M. Scherer, W. Dietl and R. Riller; the Quai de Branly Museum in Paris by J. Nouvel; the CaixaForum in Madrid by Herzog & de Meuron; Neues Museum in Berlin by D. Chipperfield; Kolumba Museum in Cologne by P. Zumthor, the Santa Marta complex in Verona and the Gonzaga Ducal Palace in Guastalla by M. Carmassi)

“AL VERSO E AL CONTRO”: the marble quarries of Carrara–new perspectives for the cultural and environmental heritage of quarrying in the Apuan Alps
No full textA reading of the heritage of quarries in the Apuan Alps highlights the tension between the preservation of the landscape and the environment, both of which are enshrined in Article 9 of the Italian Constitution. On the one hand, the marble quarrying industry represents the historical and cultural identity of the area, while on the other hand, there is a conflict between traditional mining practices and landscape management when placed in the broader context of renewable energy technologies.
The text proposes a holistic approach to understanding the Apuan quarry context from the perspective of land management that balances cultural values and strategies to enhance the landscape
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
