Luce dell'invisibile : itinerari del mosaico intorno al Mediterraneo orientale
No full textIn che modo il mosaico è stato linguaggio comune intorno al Mare Nostrum per più di mille anni? Per rispondere a questa domanda Elisabetta Concina, Anna Flores David e Mattia Guidetti, sotto la direzione di Ennio Concina, ci rivelano, attraverso un percorso iniziatico, come le tre religioni monoteiste abbiano attinto alle stesse fonti della forma, del segno e dell’immagine, trasfigurate al di là delle fratture politiche e delle divergenze ideologiche
La Basilica della Natività a Betlemme: progetto e intervento di restauro delle superfici decorate Nicola Santopuoli, Elisabetta Concina, Susanna Sarmati
No full textStarting from spring 2012, an international team selected by the Palestinian National Authority has been carrying out studies and research on the Basilica of the Nativity in Bethlehem, to gain a general and detailed knowledge of the monument, both to its current state and in its historical layers.
This article summarizes the results of investigations, studies and restoration work carried out on the finishes of the building, coordinated by a team of the Specialization School in Architectural Heritage and Landscape of "Sapienza' University of Rome. These studies initially involved the entire Basilica, and then were focused on the main nave, the side aisles, the transept and bema. The investigation carried out on the architectural scale, especially on the mosaics, the wall paintings, the colouring and the plasterwork, in relation to a reading on a wider scale, were aimed at understandig the complex relationship between the parts analyzed and the architectural complex. The reading of the current state, which historical events made as it appears now, constitutes the moment in which the restoration work begins according to a critical approach

The conservation of the church of the nativity in Bethlehem and the preliminary restoration project of the decorated surfaces
No full textThe studies developed by the team of the School of Specialization in Architectural Heritage and Landscape of "Sapienza" University of Rome, that initially concerned the entire Basilica to be then focused on the main nave, on the aisles, on the transept and bema. At the architectural scale, the investigations concerning mosaics, mural paintings and coloring are aimed to the comprehension of the complicated relation between the single analyzed part and the architectural complex. The ”reading” of the current state of the Basilica, i.e. the historical events that made it as we can see today, is the starting point for the necessary critical considerations to start the restoration project

Mosaics decorated all the walls in the Church of the Nativity. The decorative cycle included a Tree of Jesse on the counter-façade, whereas the provincial councils of Palestine, the seven Ecumenical Councils, a lower band showing Christ’s ancestors and an upper band between the windows with full-length images of angels were put on display in the central nave. The mosaic is made of glass tesserae, gold tesserae, silver tesserae and stone tesserae. One special feature that makes the mosaic even more precious is the presence of mother-of-pearl
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
