Il Bel Paese su rotaia. Viaggiando fra possibili strategie per ripensare e ricostruire il territorio italiano
No full textThrough the metaphor of the journey in Italy, the essay intends to investigate the relationship between the Italian municipalities involved in W.A.Ve. 2018 and the reference railway stations. “Italian Beauty” has lauched a
discussion on small and medium sized municipalities that involved large, small and medium stations, served by different levels of speed and frequency; the initiative represents a first, and perhaps unique, joint survey between Università Iuav di Venezia and Rete Ferroviaria Italiana spread throughout the Italian territory
on the railway stations and some related lines. The results have been a lucid investigation and an interesting collection of project proposals for the whole country.
Modernize the train stations, with a cross-border and holistic approach, because of the peculiar capillarity
of the Italian railway system, can be a good opportunity to explore possible strategies for the restoration of
the country. In fact, Italy is a fragile territory that would require the rehabilitation and safeguard not only of its
historical monuments and well-known villages, but also of mobility infrastructures, allowing the achievement
and enhancement of the less known centers, the “small Italies” that are also part of that composite system that
is the Bel Paese
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
