Ascoltando flebili voci: la ricerca sulle bambine nel mondo antico e medievale
No full textChildhood research should pay special attention to little girls and maidens. They have often been overlooked in historical studies due to their invisibility. To properly address this topic, it’s crucial to thoroughly analyze every text, tradition, or iconographic document and place them within their specific historical context. The authors have launched a research project to meet this challenge. The volume presented in the article is the result of this work. It investigates the theme from a historical-religious perspective and a multidisciplinary approach, covering a period from the third millennium BC to the medieval age. This has opened up new and interesting opportunities for further study
«Girls Just Want to Have Fun»: costruzione iconografica ed elaborazione formale del ruolo della fanciulla in antico Egitto
No full textIt is not easy to find textual and iconographic elements in ancient Egyptian
documentation that refer to the role of girls in a socio-cultural landscape
that, with a few exceptions, was largely dominated by a male perspective
and sometimes even limited to a certain socio-economic status. The question
of whether or not girls have benefited from fun e fun-damental rights therefore
raises several problems of interpretation and approach. Given this premise,
two questions must be asked, with the aim of analysing, as neutrally as possible, the ways in which the role of the maiden was formally constructed and
elaborated in ancient Egypt: 1. What are the lexemes used to indicate what
we translate as ‘maiden’, ‘child’, ‘girl’ in Egyptian language and writing?
How do we iconographically distinguish this childish, feminine category
Santa Fara: bambina benedetta, badessa, santa delle spighe. Un percorso agiografico
No full textThe contribution examines the figure of saint Fara. Her story unfolds in
the northeastern region of 7th-century Gaul, during the spread of the
monastic movement of saint Columbanus. Fara was the first abbess of
the Abbey of Notre-Dame and Saint-Pierre, founded by Eustace of Luxeuil
around 620 near Eboriacum, an ancient locality in the Brie region
(Seine-et-Marne, Île-de-France). This place was later named Faremoutiers
after her. The study of the hagiographic profile of saint Fare and
of its development (from her childhood to adulthood) helps to reconstruct
the history of her cult and to understand the various stages of its
evolution, culminating in her migration to southern Italy. To achieve
this objective, three sources are analyzed: the Vitae Columbani abbatis
discipulorumque eius libri II by Jonas of Bobbio (around 640); the Vita
sanctae Farae virginis (9th century); and La vie de Saincte Fare. Fondatrice et
premiere abbesse de Fare-monstier en Brie by Augustin Carcat (1629)
Infanzie divine. Tradizioni e modelli mitici dell’Egitto faraonico
No full textIn ancient Egypt the role of children and their position within society are an important focus of a variety of discourses, practices, and modes of interaction that concern both the human and divine sphere.
The paper aims to investigate the ideological conceptualisation of the class of child deities within the ancient Egyptian mythological tradition, addressing the two specific cultural models upon which that category is built: the solar-child and the Horus child
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
(Ri-)Scrivere di santi: sulle tracce di Agnese
No full textL’articolo, seguendo una sollecitazione di Gennaro Luongo, recentemente scomparso, si interessa al dossier agiografico di Agnese. L’autrice lo ripercorre fra storia e leggenda, documenti letterari e testimonianze monumentali, iconografia e pratiche devozionali. Ciò le consente di mettere in evidenza le trasformazioni e continue ri-funzionalizzazioni del personaggio, nonché di avanzare alcune ipotesi sulle ragioni che presiedettero a questi continui processi di rilettura.The article following a solicitation by Gennaro Luongo, recently deceased, deals with the hagiographic dossier of Agnese. The author traces it between history and legend, literary documents and monumental evidences, iconography and devotional practices. This allows her to highlight the transformations (modifications) and continuous re-functionalizations of the character, as well as to advance some hypotheses on/regarding the reasons that presided over these continuous re-reading processes
