La prima volta al voto.
No full textGiovani e politica, in Italia come in Europa, da tempo sembrano essere quasi due mondi paralleli che, sempre più spesso, difettano di occasioni di contatto. Nel nostro paese, poi, la diffusa crescita del clima di sfiducia nei confronti delle istituzioni è accompagnata da un documentato allontanamento dei ragazzi non soltanto dall’impegno politico, bensì dalla mera informazione sui fatti e le vicende istituzionali. Alla luce di queste tendenze si rileva particolarmente interessante creare occasioni di riflessione sul modo in cui i nuovi elettori vanno comunque formando una propria opinione di voto, indagando sugli attori con i quali si relazionano, così come sulle azioni che pongono in essere o che, al contrario, non ritengono di dovere attivare. Al fine, dunque, di offrire un apporto al dibattito sul tema, in questo volume sono riportate le analisi derivanti da una ricerca su giovani e politica realizzata a Ravenna, che ha coinvolto una quota significativa di neo-maggiorenni prossimi ad esprimere, per la prima volta nella loro vita, il proprio voto, in occasione delle elezioni politiche
Consumo di sostanze e mondo del lavoro nella provincia di Macerata: il caso dei lavoratori indipenenti
No full textIl saggio presenta i risultati di un'indagine condotta, nella provincia di Macerata, sul tema del consumo di sostanze psicoattive da parte di lavoratori autonomi e di professionisti. In particolare delinea il rapporto tra condizioni di lavoro, stili di vita, stato di salute e prossimità alle sostanze psicoattive e propone alcune riflessioni ed indicazioni operative in tema di controllo e preevenzione del consumo di sostanze psicoattive
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
Giochi di specchi. Romeo e Giulietta tra istoria e novella nella Verona del XVIII secolo (terza e ultima parte)
No full textLa terza parte di Giochi di specchi affronta la memoria veronese di Romeo e Giulietta negli ultimi due decenni del XVIII secolo. Uno sguardo sulle fonti scritte inglesi, francesi e tedesche evidenzia come la tomba dei due amanti fosse, tra gli anni Ottanta e Novanta del Settecento, ormai nota a livello europeo, mentre si iniziavano a cercare riferimenti per individuare la casa di Giulietta (che sarebbe stata poi identificata nel 1820 nell’attuale ubicazione, lo Stallo del Cappello). Numerosi resoconti di viaggio inglesi assicurano che già negli anni Novanta del Settecento la tomba fosse una meta frequentata del Grand Tour: i “turisti” vi venivano condotti dalle guide locali, che ne raccontavano la storia. Anche le fonti veronesi, dopo il silenzio dei decenni centrali del secolo, tornano ora a occuparsi di Giulietta. Il racconto della storia dei due amanti nell’Istoria di Verona di Alessandro Carli, l’adattamento teatrale Elena e Gerardo di Giovanni Pindemonte, un riassunto nell’almanacco Nuovo Diario Veronese, tutti del 1796, testimoniano come la vicenda fosse ormai ampiamente nota e circolasse in diverse versioni, attraverso canali differenti, per un pubblico ampio ed eterogeneo. Nell’intreccio delle voci dei viaggiatori stranieri e degli scrittori veronesi, la memoria di Romeo e Giulietta, mantenutasi viva per tutto il Settecento, giungeva così alle soglie del XIX secolo.The third part of Giocchi di specchi deals with the Veronese memory of Romeo and Juliet in the last 20 years of the eighteenth century. A glance at the English, French and German written sources shows that the lovers’ tomb was, between the 1780 and 1790 already renowned in Europe and people were already starting to look for means to identify Juliette’s house (that was subsequently located in 1820 in the Stallo del Capello). Numerous English travel diaries confirm that by 1790, the lovers’ tomb was often taken in on the Grand Tour: tourists were taken there by local guides who told them its history. Even the Veronese sources, after a silence during the 1750s, began to touch on the history of Juliette again: the telling of the story of the two lovers in Istoria di Verona by Alessandro Carli; the adaptation for theatre of Elena e Gerardo by Giovanni Pindemonte as well as a summary in the almanac Nuovo Diario Veronese. In 1796 all evidence suggests that the story is well-known and various versions circulate through different channels to a large and diverse audience. Through the voices of foreign travellers and Veronese writers, the memory of Romeo and Juliette was kept alive for all of the 1700s and up to the beginning of the nineteenth century
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
