"Voices of Italian Poets". Analisi fonetica e storia della lettura della poesia italiana dagli anni Sessanta a oggi
No full textQuesta tesi presenta uno studio pilota sulla lettura della poesia italiana, utilizzando gli strumenti della fonetica sperimentale. Lo scopo principale di questo lavoro è quello di fornire una prima proposta metodologica di indagine, individuando gli elementi più caratterizzanti della voce poetica. La prima parte fornisce un'introduzione teorica dedicata al tema della musica della poesia, presentando anche un primo stato dell’arte degli studi sperimentali su questo tema. La seconda parte introduce il progetto e l’archivio di “VIP-Voice of Italian Poets”, dedicato alla conservazione e allo studio delle registrazioni di poeti italiani. Nella terza parte, infine, viene sviluppato uno specifico sistema di studio, applicato alle letture di autori italiani dagli anni Sessanta a oggi. Si propone una periodizzazione in tre parti, al fine di delineare una prima "Storia della lettura della poesia italiana", impiegando un approccio qualitativo e quantitativo/comparativo. Inoltre, sono indagati i tratti comuni e distintivi tra più letture di una stessa poesia e, infine, viene testata la percezione della poesia su più livelli. Lo studio rivela la preziosità di informazioni che offre quest’area di ricerca ancora poco esplorata e la ricchezza del patrimonio storico della lettura della poesia Italiana degli ultimi decenni.This dissertation is a pilot study of Italian poetry reading through the use of experimental Phonetics. The main purpose of this study is to provide a first methodological proposal for investigation, identifying the characterizing elements of the poetic voice. The first part offers a theoretical introduction to the music of poetry and presents a literature review of experimental studies on this topic. The second part introduces the project and the archive of VIP-Voice of Italian Poets, which is dedicated to the study of the recordings of Italian poets. Finally, the third part develops a specific system to study the readings of Italian authors from the 1960s to the present. It proposes a periodization in three parts to outline a first “History of Italian poetry reading”, using a qualitative and a quantitative/comparative approach. In addition, common and distinct traits among many readings of the same poem are investigated, as well as the perception of poetry, tested on several levels. This study sheds light on the many, yet relatively unexplored, layers and rich historical heritage of Italian poetry reading of the last decades
Amelia Rosselli and the anguish of breathing: style or pathological speech?
No full textThis research aims to delve into a distinctive and compelling example of poetic discourse, marked by features that may imply an affinity with the domain of pathological speech. For the study were selected eight poetic readings by Amelia Rosselli (1930-1996), one of the most renowned female poets of the Italian literary tradition. The interest in studying the (potential) poet’s pathological speech arises first of all from the reconstruction of her clinical history, which finds a reflection in the analysed oral data. The recordings cover a period from 1985 to 1990 and reflect the last phase of Rosselli’s brief life. The analysis reveals interesting information on the nature of her speech, offering insights into the possible prosodic reflections of a pathological substrate. Her reading style is characterized by fragmentation through emphasized silence and noise, as well as a peculiar use of pauses. Nevertheless, the stylistic, pathological, or potentially dual nature of Rosselli’s discourse remains uncertain. This study employed the VIP-Voices of Italian Poets methodology, and a General-VIP-Radar was constructed to summarize her distinctive style
Preservation, conservation and phonetic study of the voices of Italian poets: A study on the seven years of the VIP archive
Get PDFPoetic speech, like other oral traditions, is a fragile cultural heritage that requires proper conservation to prevent dispersal. Therefore, since the early 20th century, there has been a growing global recognition of the need to handle such oral data appropriately. This awareness has led to the establishment of both digital and analog archives dedicated to preserving poetic readings. Noteworthy is Voices of Italian Poets (VIP), a prominent project focused on conserving and studying contemporary Italian poetic speech. This paper aims to outline the value of the VIP vocal archive by providing a descriptive analysis of its data, seven years after its creation. The study presents the structure and purposes of the online platform and highlights the large number and variety of recordings and poets involved in the project. The VIP-Platform results as a crucial hub for preserving culturally significant materials and a crucial case study for nurturing a shared cultural inheritance

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
