Un elemento architettonico dal tempio di Via delle Botteghe Oscure
No full textNella parte del contributo a firma di Eugenio Polito si analizza la decorazione di un blocco architettonico marmoreo con fregio raffigurante strumenti sacrificali, unico resto del rifacimento di età imperiale romana del tempio di via delle Botteghe Oscure. Di esso si propongono un inquadramento nel genere e un'interpretazione coerente con l'ipotesi generale di identificazione del tempio con quello dei Lari Permarini, proposta in questa e in altre sedi da Fausto Zevi
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
Necropoli dell’Isola Sacra. Le ricerche 1968-89 : ripercorrendo un’esperienza
No full textL’articolo ripercorre metodi, problematiche e risultati delle ricerche condotte nella necropoli dell’Isola Sacra (1968-1989) sotto la direzione di I. Baldassarre, con lo scopo di giungere a una lettura in chiave antropologica di una necropoli romana di età imperiale a partire dalla documentazione archeologica. La necropoli si sviluppa ai due lati di una strada (seconda metà del I sec. d.C.) alla quale le tombe fanno riferimento con una costante ricerca di visibilità. Lo studio ha permesso di ricostruire modi e tempi dell’occupazione dello spazio funerario da parte delle singole tombe che si addossano le une alle altre creando l’immagine di edificazioni per gruppi unitari. Si tratta di tombe familiari, la cui funzione risulta dall’apparato epigrafico, dai dispositivi per i rituali funerari, dalla scarsità di materiali di corredo, che appaiono piuttosto in relazione a sepolture individuali, più « povere », che affollano tutti gli spazi liberi tra le tombe a cella. La ricerca ha anche messo in luce il ruolo chiave degli apparati figurativi e lo strutturarsi di un repertorio di decorazione funeraria, tema di particolare interesse per il ceto libertino che seppellisce nella necropoli. Nel quadro del crescente interesse per l’ideologia funeraria romana e riproponendo la storia di una ricerca nata molti anni fa in una Università piena di stimoli, l’articolo intende evidenziare quanto un contesto affrontato nella sua globalità possa contribuire ad approfondire la discussione relativa a questi temi.The article reviews methods and results of the research conducted at the Isola Sacra necropolis (1968-1989) under the direction of I. Baldassarre, with the aim of producing an anthropological reading of a Roman necropolis based on the archaeological record. The necropolis extends on both sides of the road (second half of the 1st c. AD) and the clusters of tombs are the result of the dynamics of the necropolis system, with a constant striving for visibility by the buyers of family tombs, in some cases incorporating older burials. The function of family tombs is evident from the epigraphs, the arrangements for funeral rites and the rarity of grave goods, which are found rather in the « poorer » tombs, crowded into the spaces between the chamber tombs. The research also shed light on the structuring of a repertoire of funerary ornaments, a theme of great interest for the freedman class buried here. As part of the growing interest in issues related to Roman funerary ideology and by going back over on the history of a project devised many years ago in a highly stimulating university, the paper seeks to show that a context studied as a whole can contribute to discussion in depth of these issues
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
