Stratigrafie difensive. Studi per un piano di valorizzazione del promontorio di Sant'Elia a Cagliari | Researches for the valorization plan of the St. Elia headland in Cagliari
No full textFollowing a stratigraphic approach, the research mainly focuses on the identification and the analysis of military signs inside the St. Elia promontory in Cagliari. The whole city, being an ancient coastal stronghold, is highly stratified with defensive structures belonging from a wide chronological range (from 11th to 20th century), but in St. Elia and St. Bartolomeo hills there is a really impressive density of military areas, a large part of them still in use. After a detailed inventory of military historical preexistence, the study pieces together the vulnerable mosaic of defensive remains, reconnecting the traces of the several defensive phases, depending on the several changes in the Mediterranean
political background. This knowledge and interpretation of the stratigraphy have been the starting point for the proposal of a masterplan for the enhancement of the military identity of the site, through the design of an archaeological military park. The study was intended as an additional action, complementary to the other strategies already ongoing, promoted by the municipality, but actually ignoring the defensive pre-existence. The designed park has its main core in the restored ruin of St. Ignazio Fort, but all the other historical assets find new cultural functions. The reuse also considers the dual use option, as it is for the Ederle barracks. A new accessibility is also suggested, directly from the Lazzaretto Museum and the DI.CA.T. battery, with an elevator in order to make St. Ignazio Fort finally globally accessible for cultural and music events
Scenari di riconversione dell'area del Bastione di San Filippo a Cagliari. Proposte progettuali per un distretto dell'arte| Perspectives for the reconversion of the San Filippo Bastion in Cagliari. New design proposals for an art district
No full textThe study for the possible conversion and enhancement of the San Filippo Bastion and the ancient Military Bakery in Cagliari is part of a wider research focused on the Savoy forts in Sardinia and on their possible reconversion to different military or civil uses. In fact, excluding few examples of reuse as civil museums included in this paper, the large part of this heritage is under-used, abandoned or even in a state of ruin.
San Filippo Bastion is a case in point because, even if the area is still owned and used by the Italian Army, it has been included in the list of possible disposals provided in 2008 by the Ministry of Defence, together with the local Regional Administration. In the actual lack of specific political strategies about its conversion to civil use, the paper illustrates an exploratory design project for possible reuse of the ancient fort as a new urban art district, in the event of a future military closure. Architecturally, the proposal stems from an in-depth historical and material analysis carried out in order to highlight
material and immaterial values, collected using the tool of the Raumbuch. On the urban scale, the project shone the spotlight on the military district as the activator of a wider cultural district, connecting the nodes of the already existing cultural network and providing new strategic polarities within the historic centre. In line with the evolved European cultural district examples, the design proposal for the creation of a new DAC Art District includes temporary workshops spaces, a museum trail between the ancient moats, converted bunkers and blockhouses, a library, reading spaces and a place for city
events. The ancient fortified structures of the Bastion and external fortified works are valued and rediscovered through a naturalistic modelling of slopes and ramparts, highlighting the defensive 18thcentury profiles and unlocking the potential of new panoramic routes and discovering new accessibility in the historic centre of Cagliari
I vertici della rete geodetica a cavallo del '900: un patrimonio di monumenti topografici come rete per nuovi itinerari nel paesaggio storico.
No full textLa ricostruzione dei processi operativi seguiti in Sardegna dall'inizio dell'800, per la costruzione di una cartografia dell'isola e ad opera del Generale della Marmora e del Maggiore De Candia, comporta una interessante riscoperta di un paesaggio storico, geografico e culturale. La necessità, più volte espressa e poi materializzata, di progettare ed eseguire una rete geodetica di triangolazione per l'orientamento e l'inquadramento di ogni successiva operazione di rilevamento territoriale, fornisce ancora oggi la possibilità di una rivisitazione di luoghi, monumenti e panorami poco esplorati.
Le tecnologie del rilievo topografico, usate all'inizio dell'800, erano eseguite con la "monumentalizzazione" dei vertici in posizioni elevate sul territorio o su manufatti storici stabili e dotati di buona intervisibilità a distanza. Quasi tutti i manufatti architettonici, per merito della loro posizione altimetricamente elevata, sono stati storicamente interessati da installazioni militari sia di osservazione che di difesa. La dismissione della maggior parte di questi, da un uso o da una gestione "militare", comporta concreti rischi di conservazione e salvaguardia.
In particolare i punti coincidenti con gli insediamenti protostorici offrono spunti di riflessione in merito ai rapporti intervisivi tra le diverse torri nuragiche e il bacino territoriale di pertinenza, e sottolinea come certi luoghi non hanno tempo nel essere considrati privilegiati nella loro posizione nel paesaggio
Metodologie e strumenti per la conservazione e il riuso del patrimonio militare: la base aerea di Cagliari-Elmas | Methodologies and tools for the protection and the reuse of military sites: the Air Force Base of Cagliari-Elmas
No full textOn 28 March 1923, the Italian air force was founded as an independent service with the name of 'Arma Azzurra' (Blue Army). Fascism always held it in the maximum importance, as an Italian excellence among the national armies. In 1934, an important exhibition on Italian Aviation was held in Milan to celebrate the exceptional innovation reached in this field. In the same exhibition, some models of the modern airport were showed. The first Italian airport built according to Milan's models was the seaplane base of Cagliari, quickly transformed into a modern aviation base, completed in 1935. The historical
buildings, still preserved, show a clear futurist character together with rationalistic elements, avantgarde for the contemporary European context. The military area has very recently been decommissioned, turned into civilian use and outsourced to the company responsible for civil airport management (So.G.Aer. SpA). The University of Cagliari, together
with the local offices of the National Ministry for Cultural Heritage, is carrying out a scientific research on the ex-military area, with the specific aim of inserting the entire site in the list of protected monuments, since it represents an important witness of the Italian military history of the 20th century. The research follows the rigorous protocol of investigation generally used for historical monuments and includes the indirect analysis, through the recognition of bibliographic, archival and graphic sources, and the direct survey of the structures, carried out through photographic, architectural and material
surveys, with non-destructive diagnostic techniques. Based on the in-depth knowledge, the research drafts a first proposal for a sustainable reuse
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
