L’analisi dell’impatto dei beauty standard sulla salute mentale delle persone socializzate come donne tramite la ricerca e le testimonianze delle arti visive
No full textThe aim of the following study is both to analyse and evalu-
ate the impact of beauty standards on feminine presenting
people’s mental health through visual arts as well as by
utilising a qualitative and quantitative methodological ap-
proach. The project will have two bibliographical parts: the
first one will have an art history insight and will be focused
on the role of women’s bodies in arts, which will be ana-
lysed through visual arts depicting women; it will also look
at how society and arts looked and viewed women, creating
an intersection between gender studies and social art history
through a feminist perspective; the second part will be fo-
cused on gender studies, specifically, the objectification of
feminine presenting people’s bodies by society – especially
by heterosexual men – the discrimination they went through
because of their gender identity and how chasing beauty and
being considered attractive is a constant in the lives of femi-
nine presenting people compared to masculine-presenting
ones. The methodology that will be used to carry the study
comprehend the conduction of two surveys: one addressed
to feminine-aligned and presenting people and the other to
masculine-aligned and presenting ones in order to evaluate
the differences in the impact of and the importance given to
beauty standards and also how much beauty pressure affects
their daily lives and life choices in general (e.g. deciding
against going to the sea, eating certain foods, going on a diet
or not wear some kind of clothes)
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
