No full textAuthorial ruins are more than just rubble, but their fate is often uncertain. The issue is further complicated in the presence of works begun and never completed, interrupted architectures, unfinished authorial ruins. These forms retain a paradox. Unlike the fragments of the ruins of the past, which show the passage of time and historical transformations, the unfinished ruins attest to design failures, economic changes or political instabilities, collisions between visionary ambitions and the reality that was intended to change radically. At the same time, what is retained of aborted projects measures time and space. Like the ruins of the past, they make us feel, they are promises of our existence that produce powerful emotions, and latent resources for experiencing architectural project. The theme is explored through the case study of “Pineland” a tourist village designed by Marcello D’Olivo in Forni di Sopra (Udine) in 1964, left interrupted after the first stages of construction, currently within the UNESCO Dolomites territory
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
Valorizzare il patrimonio della prefabbricazione leggera in Italia: una piattaforma digitale a supporto della “decostruzione selettiva"
No full textIl patrimonio immobiliare abbandonato di Alianello in Basilicata. Analisi e proposte per il riuso.
No full textThe research, which is still in the experimental and expansion phase, involves various disciplines concerned with the study, knowledge, and monitoring of heritage from the landscape, geological, urban, structural, and architectural points of view, intending to propose design hypotheses and visions for a new use and regeneration of heritage rendered fragile by disruption. The case study examined is the historical center of Alianello, a small municipality in the Lucania region in the province of Matera, consisting of a medieval village that is now completely abandoned and whose buildings are in a state of physical and structural decay that could be easily resolved if recognized and consolidated with awareness and critical knowledge through documentation integrated by technical knowledge. The study was articulated by subdividing the urban fabric into 47 building aggregates, the overall damage conditions of which were analyzed, caused by various geomorphologic and seismic disruptions that led to the abandonment of the built-up area, but did not make the structures completely uninhabitable, for which new forms of reuse were hypothesized to enhance and re-inhabit the village. The research, starting from the example of aggregate no. 25, which is particularly significant for its type of construction, highlights the possibility of reuse not for residential purposes but for tourism and recreation with compatible interventions that respect the authoritative laws of nature, based on stable equilibrium in conditions of minimum energy. The proposed redevelopment could bring economic benefits to the few inhabitants, as well as new investment in the landscape redevelopment of the entire area
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
