Introduzione
No full textOggigiorno, insieme alla moltiplicazione straordinaria dei canali di accesso al sapere e all’aumento smisurato della mobilità fisica e psicologica degli
individui, le quantità discrete d’informazione diventano sempre più inconciliabili: delle forme di società e di soggettività che si presentano come unità
multipla, plethos einai (πληθος ειναι). Si tratta di un sistema complesso di forze contrapposte che sfuggono al proprio codice, non più in grado di strutturarle,
di comprenderle, di contenerle. Per garantire l’equilibrio sociale non può più bastare, quindi, il freno posto da medietas et temperantia, da concordia e governo, in cui far confluire valori della persona e istituzionali, parola solidale e norma di controllo sociale, logos e nomos
Giudizio e normatività
Full text linkLe scienze sociali mostrano in questi anni un interesse crescente per i temi del diritto e della giustizia. Per approfondire questo tema pubblichiamo due interventi degli studiosi Jean-François Lyotard, e Jean-Luc Nancy perché le loro riflessioni aiutano a pensare come i cittadini della modernità sono sempre al contempo giudici di se stessi e dei loro simili: attori e spettatori, arbitri e testimoni. Oltre ai testi di Nancy e Lyotard, in questo numero di Rivista di estetica sono raccolti articoli che approcciano il tema del giudizio secondo una pluralità di prospettive: la relazione tra dissidio e società contemporanee (Carlo Grassi), il rapporto tra norma, caso e caso esemplare (Angela Condello), la normatività e l’arte contemporanea (Tiziana Andina), il rapporto tra giudizio norrmativo e giudizio estetico (Andrea Baldini), il giudizio di valore come gesto significativo (stefano Oliva)
Femminismo Giuridico. Teorie e problemi
No full textDifferenza sessuale, diritto, diritti, giustizia
Il volume innova il concetto di “femminismo giuridico” usato per la prima volta nel 1992, all’interno del Digesto delle discipline civilistiche dalla giurista canadese Sylviane Colombo, contrapponendolo al concetto di “giusfemminismo”. Se quest’ultimo intende la necessità di andare nella direzione dell’eguaglianza formale e sostanziale tra i generi attraverso le azioni positive per le pari opportunità e i cosiddetti “diritti delle donne”, il “femminismo giuridico” è un paradigma che mira a trasformare, attraverso la pratica del processo e il conflitto, la struttura originaria e fondativa del diritto interamente pensata e ideata sulla cultura giuridica maschile
Sensing the nation's law historical inquiries into the aesthetics of democratic legitimacy : introduction
Full text linkWe are said to live in an age of democratic legitimacy. The rightfulness of a political and legal order is meant to reside in a widespread belief in the rightfulness of democracy. Contemporary democratic legitimacy is tied, among other things, to consent, to representation, to the identity of ruler and ruled, and, of course, to legality and the legal forms through which democracy is structured. The nation, its unity, and whatever democratic legitimacy its form of rule enjoys, become tangible and emerges as much in shared taste, in the pre-supposition and generation of aesthetic con-sensus, as in the formation or execution of a common will or the inculcation or reasoning of a common reason. This introduction presents the ten chapters of the edited volume, each of which engages with the intersection of aesthetics and law, and, more specifically with the question of how the nation – and its (fundamental) law – are ‘sensed’ by way of various aesthetic forms
Dies Irae
Full text linkWhat does it mean to judge when there is no general and universal norm to define what is right and what is wrong? Can laws be absent and is law always necessary? This is the first publication of an English translation of Jean-Luc Nancy’s acclaimed consideration of the law’s most pervasive principles in the context of actual systems and contemporary institutions, power, norms, laws. In a world where it is clearly impossible to imagine the realization of an ideal of justice that corresponds to every person’s ideal of justice, Nancy probes the limits of legal normativity starting from this problem. Moreover, the question is asked: how can legal normativity be legitimized? A legal order based on performativity and formal validity is questionable and forces below that of juridical normativity are at the heart of Dies Irae’s critical inquiry. This leads inevitably to the processes of inclusion and exclusion that characterize contemporary juridical systems and those issues of identity, hostility and self-representation so central to contemporary European and global political and legal debates
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
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
