    Dobbiamo Danzare = Dance We Must

    No full text
    Dance We Must (1940) di Ted Shawn, pioniere della nuova danza americana, raccoglie le lezioni tenute al Peabody College (Tennessee, 13 giugno-2 luglio 1938), dopo aver promosso per venticinque anni la nascita di una danza teatrale autenticamente americana. In questi scritti, tra i più significativi di Shawn e mai prima tradotti in Italia, la danza come arte è per la prima volta, in modo sistematico, ascritta al mondo della cultura e non più a quello dell'intrattenimento. In un discorso conciso e luminoso, che non smette di sorprendere per l'attualità di alcune sue comprensioni, dalle sue radici magiche e religiose la danza è qui considerata anche come parte attiva in tutti i processi educativi, richiamando l'interesse non solo degli storici e dei teorici, ma anche degli insegnanti e dei professionisti di quest'arte. Ma sono soprattutto i legami della danza con la musica e il teatro, le teorie di movimento dell'espressione emozionale e i diversi generi di danza, e ancora con la dimensione creativa e identitaria, a rendere questo libro indispensabile per comprendere a pieno il ruolo della danza e del balletto non solo nel teatro e nella società ma nella vita di ognuno

    Measurement of hard double-parton interactions in W(→ℓν) + 2-jet events at &#8730;<span style="text-decoration:overline">s</span>=7 TeV with the ATLAS detector

    The production of W bosons in association with two jets in proton–proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of &#8730;&lt;span style="text-decoration:overline"&gt;s&lt;/span&gt;=7 TeV has been analysed for the presence of double-parton interactions using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 pb−1, collected with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The fraction of events arising from double-parton interactions, f(D)DP, has been measured through the pT balance between the two jets and amounts to f(D)DP = 0.08 ± 0.01 (stat.) ± 0.02 (sys.) for jets with transverse momentum pT &#62; 20 GeV and rapidity |y| &#60; 2.8. This corresponds to a measurement of the effective area parameter for hard double-parton interactions of σeff = 15 ± 3 (stat.) +5−3 (sys.) mb

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    The Nature and Function of Languages

    Full text link
    Several studies in philosophy, linguistics and neuroscience have tried to define the nature and functions of language. Cybernetics and the mathematical theory of communication have clarified the role and functions of signals, symbols and codes involved in the transmission of information. Linguistics has defined the main characteristics of verbal communication by analyzing the main tasks and levels of language. Paleoanthropology has explored the relationship between cognitive development and the origin of language in Homo sapiens. According to Daniel Dor, language represents the most important technological invention of human beings. Seemingly, the main function of language consists of its ability to allow the sharing of the mind’s imaginative products. Following language’s invention, human beings have developed multiple languages and cultures, which, on the one hand, have favored socialization within communities and, on the other hand, have led to an increase in aggression between different human groups

    Variations on the Author

    “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
