«Io giungo all’essere e a me stesso». Le prime opere di Francesco Lo Savio, 1957-1959
Get PDFThe main aim of the article is to explain the beginning of the Roman painter Francesco Lo Savio’s career from 1957 to 1959. This part of his production has long been unknown because it was considered too distant from the mature works. During those years Lo Savio is still tied to his training in Informal Art. Moreover, the work of this period also show influences coming from American art, in particular, from the pictorial research of Mark Rothko. This essay illustrates why these works should be considered an important step, although germinal, in Lo Savio’s painting career. Just by analyzing the origins of his painting, it is possible to understand the next steps of his work. The works at the end of 1958 and early 1959 are, in fact, the start of his artistic path that will result in Space-Light paintings a few months later.The main aim of the article is to explain the beginning of the Roman painter Francesco Lo Savio’s career from 1957 to 1959.

Origini russe del monocromo
No full textTalking about monochrome painting is a complex issue, due to the impossibility of considering it as a pictorial genre with unique characteristics, and due to the difficulty of framing the variety of artists who can be ascribed, in different ways, to this movement. This essay is intended to be a historical-critical reflection on the initial phase of monochrome painting, in order to clarify how the pictorial roots of modern monochrome are to be found in the context of the experiences relating to abstraction in the early 1900s, in particular, in Malevič and Rodčenko. Although this genesis is well-known, highlighting the ambivalences of the beginnings can contribute to enrich our perception of the “tradition of the new” in many of its dualisms.Talking about monochrome painting is a complex issue, due to the impossibility of considering it as a pictorial genre with unique characteristics, and due to the difficulty of framing the variety of artists who can be ascribed, in different ways, to this movement.

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
Francesco Lo Savio. Colore Luce Spazio
No full textSiamo a Roma, alla fine degli anni '50, quando la scena artistica italiana è in grande fermento. Uno dei protagonisti del dibattito sul rinnovamento delle arti è Francesco Lo Savio, tra le personalità più problematiche dell'avanguardia post-informale italiana. Lo Savio è partecipe della rivoluzione, non solo italiana ma internazionale, di una generazione di giovani artisti che vogliono distaccarsi dalla precedente cultura informale per approdare a un nuovo meccanismo di costruzione dell'opera d'arte, incentrato sulle qualità insite alla pittura stessa
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
La critica multiforme. Gillo Dorfles sulle pagine di aut aut
No full textNel 1951 il filosofo Enzo Paci fonda la rivista “Aut Aut”. Nonostante la rivista sia rivolta principalmente a studi filosofici, Paci decide di nominare capo redattore il critico d’arte Gillo Dorfles. L’apporto di Dorfles alla rivista è duplice, da un lato articoli su temi diversi: l’estetica, la percezione, l’astrazione; dall’altro l’impegno a recensire le edizioni della Biennale di Venezia. Il contributo analizza la capacità di Dorfles di comprendere, e raccontare, i nodi cruciali del mondo dell’arte attraverso la Biennale per tutti gli anni Cinquanta e Sessanta e parallelamente porta alla luce le diverse tematiche di cui il critico si occupa sulle pagine di “Aut Aut”
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
