    Archosaur (possibly theropod) teeth from the Norian (Late Triassic) of Lombardy (Northern Italy)

    Three isolated teeth, from an outcrop of the Zorzino Limestone (Norian, Late Triassic) in the Bergamo Prealps (Lombardy, Northern Italy) are reported. The triangular blade-like shape with serrated edges reveals that they are archosaurian, but a more precise taxonomic assignment within archosaurs is more difficult because this kind of teeth occurs in different Norian archosaurs, such as phytosaurs, rauisuchians and theropods. A detailed comparison of these taxa revealed that shape, size and pattern of serration suggest that they do not belong to a phytosaur but rather to rauisuchian or perhaps to a coelophysid theropod. The serration density is closer to that of coelophysid theropods, which is different from that of other theropods and of rauisuchians, suggesting that these teeth may perhaps represent the oldest dinosaur skeletal remains found in Italy so far

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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

    Su Goldoni e Gozzi: cantieri aperti, tra ieri e domani

    Alla vigilia di una congiuntura celebrativa di particolare risonanza e suggestione – quella cioè che nell’arco di dieci mesi, tra l'aprile del 2006 e il febbraio del 2007, allinea la ricorrenza del secondo centenario della morte di Carlo Gozzi (4 aprile 2006) e del terzo centenario della nascita di Carlo Goldoni (25 febbraio 2007) – il saggio tenta di delineare un quadro complessivo dello stato dei lavori sull’opera di questi due “fratelli nemici” che da una medesima specola veneziana irradiarono la propria influenza sugli sviluppi del teatro europeo. La necessità di tracciare un bilancio è affiancata dall’esigenza di proporre spunti di riflessione, e anche di provocazione, intesi a contribuire alla messa a punto di attività che possano consentire di vivere in modo innovativo e non rituale le imminenti occasioni commemorative
