La bellezza del bene. Il debito di Hannah Arendt nei confronti di Immanuel Kant
No full textNell'illustrare il mio percorso di ricerca è utile sottolineare che in essa la
problematica etica si intreccia con la dimensione estetica umana in quanto la riflessione
arendtiana - nel suo tentativo di ripensare l'Etica e di rifondare la Politica - trova nel
pensiero di Kant lo snodo teorico decisivo con cui confrontarsi per procedere oltre.
Prendendo a modello il giudizio estetico kantiano che trasforma il singolo come spettatore
giudicante nell'osservatore universale, Arendt utilizza il concetto di universalità
soggettiva come comunicabilità del giudizio di gusto, per ripensare alla Morale alla luce
della dimensione estetica basandosi soprattutto sui concetti kantiani di "validità
esemplare" e di "senso comune". La mia ricerca legge nel tentativo arendtiano di ripensare
alla morale e alla politica, che all'età dei totalitarismi e della Shoah hanno subito un
grave collasso e devono essere ripensate con strumenti interpretativi radicalmente nuovi,
il tentativo di ritornare alle sorgenti vive della tradizione filosofica dell'Occidente
per trarne gli strumenti utili per una loro rifondazione. Questa modalità, che ha
comportato l'incrocio delle rispettive posizioni e tematiche nelle opere degli autori, mi
ha permesso di ricostruire nel confronto e nel dialogo critico che Arendt tiene con Kant,
il debito decisivo nei confronti della sua filosofia.While illustrating my research it's worth pointing out that the ethical issue interweaves
with the human aesthetic dimension as the Arendtian reflection - in its attempt to rethink
Ethics and refound Politics - finds in Kant's thought the conclusive theoretical crucial
point to deal with in order then, to go on.
Arendt takes as her model the aesthetic Kantian judgement that turns the individual as a
judging spectator into the universal observator. Therefore she uses the concept of
subjective universality as communicability of the judgement of taste, to reflect upon
Ethics in the light of the aesthetic dimension mostly basing on the Kantian concept of
"exemplary validity" and "common sense". My research considers the Arendtian attempt to
reflect upon Ethics and Politics, which have undergone a serious collapse since the age of
totalitarism and Shoah and must be thought over with totally new interpretative
instruments, as the attempt to go bach to the living origins of western philosophical
tradition to get the necessary instruments for their refounding. This method, with the
comparison of the respective positions and themes in the authors' work, has enabled me to
reconstruct, in the confrontation and critical dialogue that Arendt has with Kant, the
decisive debt to his philosophy
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
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
Hannah Arendt e Ágnes Heller e la dimensione estetica del soggetto morale
No full textLa mia riflessione sul soggetto morale e la sua collocazione in un ambito etico-politico che si intreccia con quello estetico si articola a partire dalle modalità con cui Arendt ha affrontato il problema appoggiandosi al pensiero di Kant. Se il punto di partenza di buona parte della riflessione etica contemporanea è il fallimento del pensiero di fronte all’urgenza storica, Arendt ne ha aperto la strada con una rilettura della tradizione speculativa dell’Occidente che ha sancito il primato del..
