The Future is Backwards. Re-cycle as Destiny
No full textIn Italy, past has a very strong and emotional presence and this influences the way we think about future. Territorial studies have always got wrong predictions, building beyond all limits, leaving a legacy of empty spaces, unsold edifices, disused railways and roads lines. Detroit represents a manifesto of the next urban condition. In a few years it became the American Pompeii, as a result of the same crisis by which it has been generated. Nevertheless, something has happened. New assets are replacing the traditional urban images, and they give the ruins back to narrative and nature by transforming Detroit into the real first post metropolis. Citizens and urban-makers work with waste and remains. They recycle ideas and materials diffusing social innovation. The core concept of these activities is based on shift from a way of measuring to a system of values. Reducing, reusing and recycling seem to be the only sustainable social strategies capable of expressing innovation, of generating consensus and producing beauty. The event, as a labile and uncertain temporary happening, is a collective expression as a manifestation of a will and an intention, therefore, a reaction/interaction that becomes possible anticipation, as it stages a series of visions and shows that it is possible. While visions of the future are an abstraction, in the event the future manifests itself as a concrete possibility. Anticipation can be analysis and it can be activism. In this sense, we consider Recycle as destiny: it is the way in which, through his intentional acting, an individual meets the historical-social background
The future is backwards : re-cycle as destiny
No full textIn this text, we talk about Re-cycle as Destiny. Destiny is the syntax of meaningful coincidences, that is the way by which an individual meets the historical-social background through his intentional acting. The vision of Re-cycle Italy - presenting an idea of alternative futures - challenges the way in which people, stakeholders, think and act in the present. While everything is whirling changing, clothes, houses and cities are apparently always the same. Is it possible to start reasoning about a new statute for the architecture and design of the eternal present? Nothing is surprising. In the history of architecture and cities, the great technological changes have produced major changes in the lifestyles, in the forms of living and consequently in the way in which we design them. The major paradigm of modernity was about the best possible spatial synthesis between function and architecture. Today, with the information technologies revolution, we have the opposite problem, namely to give meaning, narrative and uses - even temporary uses - to spaces that have already given forms and turn them into attractive and ecologically efficient places to live. 1.

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
