Mediterraneo da “Mare Nostrum” a muro d’acqua
No full textQuesto contributo illustra come l’Unione europea si stia rapportando alla gestione della sua “frontiera” centro-mediterranea, con un progressivo ridimensionamento delle operazioni navali nel Mediterraneo che hanno fatto seguito alla missione italiana Mare Nostrum. Il tentativo di superamento del “muro d’acqua” mediterraneo implica la necessità che si vada oltre il concetto di sovranità come potere di dominio, avviando un percorso verso una sovranità dei valori che sia edificata sul rispetto della dignità umana e che necessita di un’azione multilivello, nella quale l'Unione europea dovrebbe ricoprire un ruolo centrale
La santa gara. Vita quotidiana di donne devote nel Settecento bresciano
No full textLa casa della Dimesse di Chiari costituisce una micro-società che conosce delle difficoltà materiali, che permette di nutrire le proprie religiose attraverso una serie di rendite derivanti da beni fondiari o da generose donazioni, dalle offerte e dal ricavo derivante dall’erogazione di alcuni servizi (si pensi da quello educativo). Ed è per questo che non bisogna altresì ignorare il peso delle congiunture economiche che favorisce l’ampliamento della comunità in alcuni particolari momenti
Le 'molte' vite della Costituzione di Cadice. Alcune riflessioni di storia costituzionale
No full textThe Cádiz Constitution had many lives, in the Italian peninsula, for example, the role it played in the uprisings of the 1920s is well known. Not only
did it have repercussions in the Italian peninsula, but also in other areas of
Europe and beyond, for example, in Tsarist Russia. The spread of the ‘myth’
of the Cádiz Constitution was thus linked to the Liberal Triennium, with
unexpected result
Il ruolo dell'abate Giovanni Crimi agli albori del Risorgimento italiano
No full textIl saggio ricostruisce la prima fase della parabola esistenziale e politica dell'abate siciliano Giovanni Crimi, figura significativa di ecclesiastico e patriota risorgimentale, noto soprattutto per il ruolo di primo piano avuto nei moti del 1847-48 a Messina e Palermo. L'indagine è incentrata sulle tappe iniziali del suo "apprendistato" rivoluzionario, evidenziando il contesto in cui l'abate galatese maturò la sua adesione agli ideali risorgimentali, il suo attivismo nell'universo cospirativo carbonaro sino al coinvolgimento nei moti del 1820 a Palermo, dove riportò una ferita ad una mano, e a Messina, accanto al generale Rosaroll nel '21; senza trascurare un'adeguata trattazione delle vicende degli anni Venti, quando a seguito del ruolo esercitato nella società segreta "Repubblica" fu sottoposto a processo, conclusosi con la sua condanna a morte poi tramutata in anni di carcere, da cui avrebbe ottenuto la piena libertà solo dopo la metà degli anni Quaranta
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
