    Since the 80s, movies have been used as a source of information for the analysis of consumption culture. Movies often include consumption symbols in the form of products, brands, icons and even movies. In this paper, after a brief review of the literature about movie analysis in a consumer culture perspective, some insights from the movies of Italian masters (1945-1975) will be given. Since the 40s, consumption symbols have been widely used: specific product categories were employed for metaphoric purposes (cigarettes and automobiles), movies and made in the U.S. goods were considered as highly expressive symbols

    The 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
