Dalle riproduzioni ai contesti: l’arte dell’Acacus, rivisitata
No full textL'arte rupestre del Tadrart Acacus (Libia sud-occidentale) è iscritta dal 1985 nella Lista UNESCO dei siti patrimonio dell'umanità. Grande parte di questo successo si deve alla ricerca scientifica italiana, iniziata nel 1955, che dedicò e continua ogni anno a dedicare a questi luoghi energie, passioni e saperi. Il volume pubblica in forma critica ed esaustiva i risultati di ricerca di terreno e di laboratorio relativi a una importante collezione di riproduzioni di pitture rupestri effettuate dai Maestri pittori (tra gli altri Piero Guccione, Lorenzo Tornabuoni, Giovanni Checchi) al seguito della Missione tra il 1955 e il 1968, oggi conservate al Museo Preistorico-Etnografico 'L. Pigorini' di Roma, confrontandole con gli originali, ritrovati e ristudiati nel corso delle ultime missioni archeologiche in Acacus. Il capitolo rappresenta il nucleo centrale del volume, in cui le singole riproduzioni dell'arte vengono confrontate con le pitture originali dell'Acacus. Divenute iconografia ufficiale dell'arte preistorica libica, le riproduzioni rivelano ad un'analisi attenta errori e imprecisioni, sintesi di strategie accademiche ed eredità storico-culturali di un passato storico non remoto. Il lavoro di contestualizzazione, eseguito tra il 2001 e il 2004 permette un nuovo uso di questa importante collezione di copie e contribuisce a fare crescere una nuova consapevolezza nella comunità scientifica sahariana, troppo legata allo stile e poco rivolta all'analisi integrata del documento artistico.The rock art of Tadrart Acacus (southwestern Libya) has been included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1985. Much of this success is due to the Italian scientific research, begun in 1955, which dedicates and still continues every year to dedicate to these places energies, passions and knowledge. The book publishes in a critical and exhaustive form the research results of fieldwork and laboratory of a major collection of copies of prehistoric and historic rock paintings performed by the Masters Painters (among others Piero Guccione, Lorenzo Tornabuoni, Giovanni Checchi) following the Mission between the 1955 and 1968, now kept at the prehistoric-ethnographic museum 'L. Pigorini' of Rome, comparing them with the originals, found and re-examined during the last archaeological missions in Acacus. This chapter represents the core of the volume, in which the individual reproductions of art are compared with the original Acacus paintings. Having come to represent the official iconography for prehistoric Libyan art, these fine reproductions on closer inspection reveal errors and inaccuracies, to be considered as the result of academic strategies and of the historical and cultural climate of our not so distant past. Work to contextualize these reproductions undertaken between 2001 and 2004 has made it possible to use this important collection of copies in a new way, contributing to a new awareness within the Saharan scientific community, that has concentrated excessively on style and expended little effort on the integrated analysis of art works
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
