From Venice to Shenzhen: the localization of a global Biennale model
No full textBiennials are commonly considered tools in neo-liberal economies to foster the image of the "creative city" worldwide. Venice Biennale could be considered as a foundational paradigm for the creation of sch exhibition system in both conceptual and spatial design aspects: following its foundation, many cities created their own -ennials exhibitions. Since the 1990s, moreover, Asia and China are witnessing a great increase in the number of exhibitions of such kind. What is the relationship between what is considered a global phenomenon and its reinterpretation in a local context? What kind of practices and relationships does it imply? Biennial exhibition is conceived here as a "world practice" and as a vector of exchange in cross-cultural contexts, a situated experiment adopted by host cities trying to negotiate their position in the global circuit and trying to test new ways of participating in the "creative" debate. The article examines two dimensions of this dialogue: on the one hand, how Chinese architects became familiar with the model of Venice Biennale; on the other hand, how the global model of Venice Biennale has been borrowed and adapted by local Chinese biennial, Shenzhen/Hong Kong Bi-City Biennale of Urbanism\Architecture
Beijing 2022 between urban renovation and Olympic sporting legacy: the case of Shougang
No full textAmong urban redevelopment projects, the regeneration of industrial brownfields has become an important issue in North America, Europe and, more recently, China. At the same time, the influence of short-term mega events, such as the Olympic Games, on host cities transformations has been growing throughout the decades. Thus, planning and integrating long-term brownfields regeneration with the Olympic legacy provide numerous potentials. This paper presents a theoretical study of the Olympic event as catalyst of urban transformations and, specifically, of brownfields redevelopment. The early bidding phase should become the starting point to embed the Olympic tangible and intangible legacies into long-term objectives of urban renewal and sport and health enhancement. Shougang District, future location of the Big Air venue of Beijing Winter Olympic Games 2022, with its significant industrial heritage, is introduced as case study to present the on-going practice of architectural design, plan and management. The comprehensive development of a long-term Olympic legacy is developed along with the attention to urban renovation and social progress
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

No full textDispelling 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
Urban Ergonomics and Subterranean Space Design: A Preliminary Study on Empirical Methodologies and Design Making Patterns
No full textThis article analyses the development trend of empirical research on subterranean spatial interface under the background of new urbanisation, and then explains that the research on subterranean spatial interface from the perspective of Urban Ergonomics is the response to this development trend from three aspects: research objects, research methods and research results. Finally, this article attempts to propose the establishment of design making patterns of subterranean spatial interface based on empirical methodologies
