Abstract progetto di ricerca:
Amministrare il furto nell’Europa nazifascista.
La spoliazione delle élites ebraiche di Trieste e Parigi (1938-1945)
La presente ricerca analizza, con un approccio comparativo e transnazionale, il tema delle spoliazioni antiebraiche di cui furono vittima le comunità ebraiche di Trieste (1938-1945) e Parigi (1940-1944).
L’oggetto di studio scelto è il gruppo sociale più ricco delle rispettive comunità. Queste famiglie, in cui si concentravano importanti ricchezze, avevano raggiunto un altissimo grado di integrazione con il tessuto sociale ed economico maggioritario. Nondimeno, esse furono vittime della persecuzione antiebraica, che nelle due città le colpì con diverse modalità.
Avvalendosi da quanto proposto dalla più recente storiografia e dalla consultazione di archivi italiani e francesi, la ricerca ricostruisce queste modalità e le mette a confronto, cercando di rinnovare gli studi che riguardano le spoliazioni antiebraiche. Attraverso la prospettiva comparativa, questo importante tema storiografico sarà doppiamente contestualizzato.
Esso viene collocato in una più ampia dimensione spaziale, attraverso la comparazione di due casi di studio diversi, ciascuno con le proprie peculiarità. La comparazione riguarderà le due città di Parigi e Trieste. In entrambi i casi, la persecuzione metteva fine a un percorso di integrazione iniziato un secolo e mezzo prima. Da un punto di vista geografico, il fenomeno delle spoliazioni appare diverso per obiettivi e modalità d’intervento, a seconda del soggetto persecutore e delle contingenze storiche. A Parigi i nazisti introdussero le spoliazioni con lo scopo di eliminare l’elemento ebraico, ma dovettero fare i conti con un’occupazione che si prospettava lunga e con un vicino che reclamava un ruolo nell’attuazione delle politiche antiebraiche. A Trieste, la spoliazione antiebraica era stata introdotta dal regime fascista, completamente sovrano, che mirava ad escludere l’elemento ebraico dalla vita attiva del Paese e spingerlo all’emigrazione, pur senza aver pianificato la sua distruzione. Nella successiva fase di persecuzione nazista, le persecuzioni presero forme più violente di quelle che si osservano a Parigi, comprese le modalità utilizzate per organizzare il furto dei beni ebraici.
In secondo luogo, si dà conto della dimensione cronologica, attraverso il riconoscimento della spoliazione antiebraica non come di un avvenimento a-temporale, ma come un’espressione storica e peculiare di strategie repressive esistenti da tempo, atte a limitare o cancellare il diritto alla proprietà. Nel caso specifico della persecuzione antiebraica, le spoliazioni furono solo in parte condotte attraverso l’applicazione di leggi razziali, dal carattere inedito e speciale. Esse furono spesso affiancate da altre pratiche, giustificate con l’inserimento dell’individuo considerato di razza ebraica in categorie speciali che permettevano di attingere a strumenti tradizionali già sperimentati nel recente passato (la requisizione militare, la confisca dei beni di cittadini di Stati nemici ecc). Di qui, l’importanza di non limitarsi allo studio della legislazione della spoliazione, ma di prendere in considerazione tutte le diverse pratiche amministrative utilizzate dai persecutori per dar corso al furto dei beni degli ebrei.
La tesi presenta dei focus su alcuni temi specifici. Si analizzano alcuni aspetti legati alle conseguenze che la spoliazione dei beni aveva sulle società locali. Il lavoro di comuni funzionari provenienti dalla società locale rappresentò il vero e proprio motore dell’ingranaggio che permise il furto dei beni ebraici; mentre questi ultimi vennero in parte redistribuiti alla popolazione locale, che ne era attratta a causa della degradazione morale dovuta al progredire della guerra.This research analyses, with a comparative and transnational approach, the subject of the anti-Jewish
plundering suffered by the Jewish communities in Trieste (1938-1945) and Paris (1940-1944).
The object of study is the wealthiest social group of the respective communities. These families, in
which significant wealth was concentrated, had achieved a very high degree of integration with the
majority social and economic fabric. Nevertheless, they were victims of the anti-Jewish persecution,
which affected them in different ways in the two cities.
Thanks to the study of the most recent historiography and to the consultation of Italian and French
archives, the research reconstructs these modalities and compares them, seeking to renew studies on
anti-Jewish spoliation. Through the comparative perspective, this important historiographical theme
will be doubly contextualised.
Anti-Jewish spoliations are placed in a broader spatial dimension, through the comparison of two
different case studies, each with its own peculiarities. The comparison will concern the two cities of
Paris and Trieste. In both cases, the persecution put an end to a path of integration that had begun a
century and a half earlier. From a geographical point of view, the spoliation phenomenon appears
different in terms of objectives and methods of intervention, depending on the persecuting subject
and historical contingencies. In Paris, the Nazis introduced spoliations with the aim of eliminating
the Jewish element, but they had to deal with a looming occupation and with a neighbour claiming a
role in the implementation of anti-Jewish policies. In Trieste, anti-Jewish spoliation had been
introduced by the completely sovereign Fascist regime, which aimed to exclude the Jewish element
from the active life of the country and drive it to emigration, although without having planned its
destruction. In the subsequent phase of Nazi persecution, persecution took more violent forms than
those observed in Paris, including the methods used to organise the theft of Jewish property.
Secondly, the chronological dimension is considered, through the recognition of anti-Jewish
spoliation not as an a-temporal event, but as a historical and peculiar expression of long-existing
repressive strategies aimed at restricting or cancelling the right to property. In the specific case of
anti-Jewish persecution, the spoliations were only partly conducted through the application of racial
laws, which had an unprecedented and special character. They were often flanked by other practices,
justified by placing the individual considered to be of the Jewish race in special categories that
allowed them to draw on traditional instruments already tried and tested in the recent past (military
requisition, confiscation of the property of citizens of enemy states, etc.). Hence, the importance of
not limiting oneself to the study of spoliation legislation, but of taking into consideration all the
different administrative practices used by the persecutors to carry out the theft of Jewish property.
The thesis presents focuses on some specific themes. First, some aspects related to the consequences
the spoliation of property had on local societies are analysed. The work of ordinary officials from
local society was the real driving force behind the gear that enabled the theft of Jewish property, while
the latter was partly redistributed to the local population, which was attracted to it due to the moral
degradation caused by the progress of the war. Secondly, the research will delve into the different
forms of resistance attempts and try to discern any differences in the success rate of these strategies.
Finally, it will also look for reflections of peculiar goals that the Nazis pursued in the two occupation
zones, in order to delineate different patterns of economic anti-Jewish persecution
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
