Alberico Gentili beyond ius belli: between just war and republicanism. Proposals for Europe between XVI and XVII century
No full textIl lavoro analizza le principali vicende biografiche di Alberico Gentili, dalle convinzioni religiose all’esilio religionis causa in Inghilterra, dove divenne professore regio di diritto civile ad Oxford, intrattenendo stretti rapporti politici e culturali con Philip Sidney, Walsingham e l’Essex. Il focus si sposta, nell’ambito dello scambio culturale tra Italia ed Inghilterra durante l’età rinascimentale, sui legami tra Alberico Gentili, stampatori inglesi e esuli italiani, tra i quali rilievo particolare spetta a Giacomo Castelvetro. Il lavoro si focalizza poi sul contributo gentiliano al superamento della guerra giusta e all’affermazione del principio della guerra legittima, priva di un carattere discriminatorio, così come teorizzato nel De iure belli. Elemento centrale del lavoro è l’ elogio gentiliano dei Discorsi di Machiavelli, che ha dato vita ad un dibattito storiografico sull’adesione o meno di Gentili al paradigma del repubblicanesimo classico. Il lavoro indaga in questo senso, valutando l’opera gentiliana su un continuum, sospeso tra simpatie repubblicane e necessità di un potere assoluto per la difesa della comunità politica. La fortuna di Alberico Gentili viene riletta secondo una triangolazione culturale tra la patria natale italiana, la patria elettiva inglese e la Germania, dove visse il fratello Scipione e vennero stampati numerose opere di Alberico. Si approfondisce in questo senso la recezione del suo lavoro giuridico nella coeva Inghilterra attraverso l’analisi dell’influenza gentiliana in Sutcliffe, Fulbecke e Shakespeare. Nella Germania del Seicento, in particolare in Christ e Conring, il profilo di Gentili che prevale è invece quello dell’interprete repubblicano del Machiavelli, del quale per primo legge l’opera come monito ai popoli affinché preservino la propria libertà dai tiranni. In Italia, un rilievo particolare al Gentili interprete obliquo del Machiavelli viene dai lavori di Lampredi e Giuseppe Galanti, sino al caso del futuro cardinale Antonelli che, durante la guerra di Successione austriaca, userà il De iure belli dell’eretico Gentili, la cui opera rimase all’Indice per secoli, come fonte d’autorità per legittimare la rivendicazione pontificia del Ducato di Parma e Piacenza.The PhD thesis analyses the most important biographical events of Alberico Gentili, starting from his religious etherodoxal beliefs until his flee – religionis causa – in England, where, through his relations with Philip Sidney, Walsingham and, later, the Earl of Essex, he was granted a seat as regius professor of Civil Law at Oxford. The work takes a look a the broader contest of anglo-italian cultural transition in the late Rinascimental age, focusing on the connections between Alberico Gentili, english printers and italian refugees among which Giacomo Castelvetro had a key role. In his masterpiece, De iure belli, Gentili makes obsolete the bellum iustum and replaces it with a legitimation of war which lays its foundations on the sovereignity of State. Another pivotal issue is the eulogy of Machiavelli’s Discorsi that appears on De legationibus, in which Alberico draws an innovative interpretation of Machiavelli as a republicanist and a fierce enemy of tiranny. This passionate eulogy started a vivid debate about Gentili’s republicanism. The thesis analize the debate putting Gentili’s works on a continuum, suspended on the one hand, between simpathy for republicanism, and on the other hand, the urging necessity of an absolute power for the sake of the State. Gentili’s fortune is another issue of the work, that points out to a cultural triangolation between England, Italy and Germany, where Alberico’s younger brother Scipione edited several works of his eldest brother. The thesis focuses then on the reception of Gentili’s juridical works on Sutcliffe, Fulbecke and Shakespeare, showing a clear influence of the italian jurist on the late Elizabethan age. The thesis shows that in Germany the reception of Gentili is much more focused, in the XVII century, about his republican reading of Machiavelli, notably this occurred in the works of Christ and Conring. In Italy a special place for the republican interpretation of Machiavelli made by Alberico, can be found in Lampredi and Galanti. A very important, and quite puzzling, case is that of the future cardinal Antonelli that uses authority of De iure belli, despite the fact that Gentili’s opera omnia was at the Index of librorum prohibitorum, to legitimate Papal assertions over Parma and Piacenza during the war of Austrian Succession.Dottorato di ricerca in Storia dell'Europa XIV-XX secolo (XXVII ciclo
Alberico Gentili oltre lo ius belli: tra guerra giusta e repubblicanesimo. Proposte per l'Europa tra Cinque e Seicento
Full text linkGoing 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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
