Il monumento funebre di Francesco Dandolo nella sala del capitolo ai Frari
Get PDFThe funerary monument of doge Francesco Dandolo (d. 31 October 1339) is
in many respects unique in the context of the Venetian lagoon. Its original location,
the Chapter House of the Frari, was converted for the use of the Archivio di
Stato in the Napoleonic period, after the Franciscan friary had been suppressed.
The structure of the monument – consisting of an arched recess, a painted lunette
and a sarcophagus decorated with sculptural reliefs – adopts the typology of the
wall-tomb with figural lunette established in Venice in the second half of the thirteenth
century. This multi-media tomb presents many new aspects (among which,
for instance, the insertion of a painted panel into the space of the recess); yet at
the same time, it reveals contradictory elements which seem to suggest interventions
of different dates in the overall structure. Indeed, the painted icon, a masterpiece
of the maturity of Paolo Veneziano showing Saints Francis and Elizabeth
presenting the doge and dogaressa to the Virgin, is datable to 1339-40, that is to
say, very soon after the death of the doge. It fulfils the wishes of his testament,
which provided for the fitting out of the tomb, and named his wife Elisabetta as
one of his executors. By contrast, the sarcophagus, with its bas-relief scene of the
Dormition of the Virgin, two angels on the corners, and symbols of the evangelists
Mark and John on the ends, reveals a more archaic figural language, which cannot
be dated later than the second decade of the century. Thus the stone casket is not
the work of a rather old-fashioned workshop, as suggested in the literature, but
in reality an example of re-use by patrons who still considered it – especially in
terms of the subject matter – perfectly adequate for its function and appropriate
to the message which the ducal family and the friars wished to communicate
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
