Islam: Sources, Principles and Fundamentals
No full textFrom a historical point of view, we can speak of a relative re-emergence of
Islām in Italy in modern times, following the migratory flows from various
countries of the Islamic world – in particular from the 1970s onwards. Today it is the second religion in almost
all European countries. If initially migration was primarily linked to a study
and/or the job search, with the consolidation of an Islamic presence and
the establishment of families, the need to express and make visible one’s
Islamic identity in the public space, together with the need to transmit cultural and religious values to the second generations, has become increasingly common. The contribution, therefore, will seek to illustrate – alongside the historical-contextual and doctrinal aspects – some distinctive elements of a
civilisation that all too often is exclusively linked with precarious political
situations, and even with endemic conflict. At the same time, considering
the role that religions are returning to play in the public arena and the discussions related to this phenomenon, an approach is proposed which
brings us closer to the essential core of the Muslim faith and how this belief
is lived and manifested in the daily lives of the faithful. The aim is also to
enhance the intercultural and inter-religious aspects that the interaction
and relationship with the “other” entails, in a discussion that respects differences, based on dialogue and mutual understanding
Sulle recenti leggi penali vaticane e sulla loro «canonizzazione»
No full textIl diritto penale dello Stato della Città del Vaticano conosce oggi una sorprendente notorietà. Da una parte il trafugamento di documenti ad opera dell’aiutante di camera di Benedetto XVI ha catalizzato un’attenzione massmediatica enorme sulla giustizia penale vaticana, di cui per lo più si ignorava l’esistenza o che si confondeva con quella ecclesiastica, dall’altra il sistema penale è stato investito da un consistente complesso di provvedimenti di riforma. Premessa dunque un’esposizione del sistema penale congegnato nel 1929 con la recezione dei codici di diritto sostanziale e processuale allora vigenti in Italia e dei suoi perfezionamenti ad opera del legislatore vaticano - non numerosi, ma assai significativi -, il saggio illustra i contenuti delle più recenti leggi promulgate in materia penale, segnalando alcuni profili problematici Si analizza poi criticamente l’avvenuta estensione dell’obbligatorietà del diritto penale vaticano anche nell’ordinamento canonico, per certi soggetti ed enti, e la correlativa dilatazione della giurisdizione degli organi giudiziari vaticani. Si tratta di una metamorfosi epocale concretatasi nei rapporti tra ordinamento vaticano e ordinamento canonico con riverberi non trascurabili altresì sulle interconnessioni con i diritti e le giurisdizioni secolari: statuali, europee ed internazionali. Una decisione pontificia, quella di imprimere una svolta in tali relazioni interordinamentali, assunta da papa Ratzinger e ribadita, anzi allargata negli effetti, da papa Francesco che è stata colta ed esaltata nei primi commenti ma di cui non si sono percepite appieno le ripercussioni, sulle quali dunque ci si sofferma.
The criminal law of Vatican City State has now became very famous. On the one hand, in fact, the theft of documents by Benedict XVI’s room assistant attracted enormous media attention on Vatican criminal justice (practically unknown or confused with the penal law of the Church); on the other the criminal justice system was invested by a consistent set of reform measures. After an introduction on the penal system created in 1929 trough the reception of the Italian codes and its improvements by the legislator Vatican - not many, but very significant -, the essay illustrates the contents of the recent laws enacted in criminal matters, with particular attention to some problematic aspects. Then the contribution critically analyzes the extension, already occurred for certain subjects and institutions, of Vatican criminal law into canonical law; and this entail an expansion of the jurisdiction of Vatican courts. That is a fundamental change into relationships between Vatican law and Church’s law with very important reverbs also on the interconnections between the different secular rights and jurisdictions. The decision to mark a turning point in these relationships was assumed and confirmed by Pope Ratzinger and then enlarged by Pope Francis. This line of address had a good reception and was praised in the early comments: but the doctrine has not yet grasped all the consequences. On these, instead, is the focus of present paper
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
