No full textThe wide territory of Cilento, juts out like a peninsula between the Gulf of Salerno and Policastro, in the southern area of Campania, declared a World Heritage Site, is constituted by a complex and diversity type of landscapes, a wealth of historical and architectural as well as landscape and pristine environment. The persistent difficulty of crossing, represented by the communication routes, that unravel tortuously between the hills and the curved coast, and subsequently the establishment of the National Park of Cilento and Vallo di Diano, has meant that this region of Campania has been able to maintain its integrity. The particular and unique characteristics of the area, offers a different opportunity of case studies of preservation, ranging from abandoned villages to the coastal landscape . This paper aims to focusing on the issue area of Cilento, often been overlooked in research field in favor of the coastal strip. Indeed, it’s just inland, where vernacular traditions still persist, which are the most recognizable characters of the villages of the Cilento, characterized by it’ s peculiar and distinctive morphological buoyancy that represent the matrices of the local architectures. Starting from the iconographic sources compared with the current state of the area, the paper aims to bring out the evolution and the changes that occurred in these landscapes over the last two centuries, through a perspective that seeks knowledge for the preservation of a unique heritage which today is highly at risk because of the progressive depopulation that for the past two decades has hit the area, increasing growth of the coastal areas
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
