Casa Malaparte: fotografie di cantiere e cronologia della costruzione
No full textLa fotografia ha un ruolo importante nella storia di Casa Malaparte. Negli anni di costruzione della casa (1938-1942) le fotografie di cantiere testimoniano i numerosi cambiamenti in corso d'opera. Allo stesso tempo lo scrittore usa la fotografia per verificare nuove idee sul volume della casa in rapporto al paesaggio. Sin dall'immediato Dopoguerra, la fotografia gioca ancora un altro ruolo: le immagini della fabbrica, inserita in quel paesaggio spettacolare e incontaminato, aumentano il mito della casa fino a farne una icona indiscussa dell'architettura italiana del Novecento, il set cinematografico della Nouvelle Vague francese e il luogo d'ispirazione di artisti e letterati internazionali.Photography has an important role in the history of Casa Malaparte. During the years of construction of the house (1938-1942) the photographs of the building site testify to the changes in progress. At the same time the writer used photography to verify new ideas about the volume in relation to the landscape. Since the immediate post-war period, photography plays yet another role: the images of the factory, set in that spectacular and unspoilt landscape, increase the myth of the house until it becomes an undisputed icon of 20th-century Italian architecture, the film set of the French Nouvelle Vague and the place of inspiration for international artists and writers
Conservare/restaurare l’immateriale: un ossimoro? Considerazioni semiserie sul tema
No full textIl contributo prende le mosse dalla domanda centrale, rispetto a quanto proposto dal programma del ciclo di seminari organizati dal Dottorato di Ricerca in Restauro di Roma Sapienza, dal personale punto di vista dell'autore. Ci si deve infatti domandare se esistaa qualche cosa di realmente ‘immateriale’ nell’ambito dell’esistenza, dell’esperienza e della storia dell’umanità. Apparentemente la risposta non può che essere positiva. Per esempio sono immateriali l’anima, lo spirito, i ricordi, i sentimenti, i desideri, le emozioni, le passioni, le paure, le aspirazioni, la memoria (o ‘le memorie’ individuali e collettive!), ma anche le idee, le tradizioni, i ‘saperi’, le teorie, le ideologie, le dottrine, le informazioni, le discipline ecc. A partire da queste prime risposte, il saggio indaga aporie, contraddizioni, conflitti, false certezze che si celano dietro le espressioni "materiale" e "immateriale", dal putno di vista generale e delle discipline della conservazione e del restauro in particolare
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
"Characters in Search of an Author". Human figures and storytelling in architectural design communication
Full text linkIn a presentation drawing, human figures have a natural attitude to work as an optical reference to measure the design space and to provide a sort of instructions to use it, but over the centuries, their agency has been multifaceted. The practice of photo-collages, which was fed by photography and cinema development, has recently spread thank to the digital techniques and human figures in architecture renderings seem to have become as fundamental as a top-modes for a fashion magazine cover. Besides providing a recognizable mark to the design entry, selecting peculiar figures can visually connect a design to a specific place and time, working as a cultural, situationist and sensorial agent. This seems to be true particularly for the cultural typologies. In renderings of museums, theatres or libraries, often ordinary people are integrated by figures of artworks and celebrities, like in Alberto Campo Baeza and Raphael Gabrion’s design for a Louvre new building in Lievin, France, whose figures are placed in the renderings not only to explain the functions but also to remind the ambiguous threshold between representation and reality
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

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
