Rematrice o filatrice? Donne in un’economia di frontiera (Isole Eolie, inizio dell’Ottocento)
No full textThe article explores women’s economic agency in the “border economies” of Mediterranean ports and islands, focusing on the case of Stromboli, in the Sicilian Aeolian Archipelago, in the first half of the nineteenth century. The position of women in the public and the private sphere and the lack of relevant contemporary socio-professional categories makes it difficult to identify their activities, although they are crucial to the understanding of coastal societies. The paper stresses the importance of women’s full involvement in the typical pluriactivity of such communities, combining trade with agriculture and seafaring. In Stromboli, travelers’ reports, notarial and judicial sources show a number of intertwined activities: women toiled in the fields and went fishing, lent money and spun silk, processed agricultural produce and managed family businesses. They played a significant role also in the “shadow economy” of informal and/or illicit trades

THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE FREE PORT OF MESSINA BETWEEN THE XVII AND XVIII CENTURIES. AN ONGOING RESEARCH AGENDA
No full textThe paper outlines an ongoing study on the free port of Messina, in the
context of the historiographical reappraisal on the establishment of free ports
in the Mediterranean in the Early Modern Age. Adopting a diachronic approach,
it summarizes the purposes and issues that affected its outcomes,
from 1695 throughout the entire 18th century: its rules and the institutional
turning points, the economic debates, and some critical issues like the franchise
area, the trade of local goods (wheat, silk, oil), smuggling, mercantile
justice and safe-conduct
La storia delle donne e di genere e l’Università italiana. L’esperienza della Società Italiana delle Storiche
No full textIl rapporto tra studi delle donne e università italiana è a tutt’oggi un rapporto problematico. Le ragioni non si esauriscono nel gender gap che continua a persistere nel reclutamento e nell’andamento delle carriere delle docenti, ma sono più complesse, e si intrecciano anche con le conseguenze più recenti della crisi del sistema universitario a causa degli effetti congiunti della riforma Gelmini e del complessivo definanziamento del sistema di higher education e della ricerca in Itali

Le risorse economiche delle donne. Uno sguardo dall’Italia
No full textSince the early 1990’s, the Italian women’s historian Angela Groppi suggested that the issue of women’s work could be improved, asking a number of new questions. Women’s wealth, their opportunities to access welfare institutions, the circulation of goods, the central role they played in urban businesses (although marginalized by the guild system) needed to be taken into consideration in terms of overall resources that women were able to manage in early modern and modern times. When the second volume of the Storia delle donne in Italia, Il lavoro delle donne, edited by Groppi, was published, an amount of fresh research in this perspective provided new insights into female strategies in the economic sphere. In the following years, a lot of research has been carried out in Italy, and even more in a broader context with a comparative, transnational approach. My talk aims to outline just a couple of issues that seem to me quite promising for further new results, especially from an Italian standpoint. The first one deals with the position and strategies of women as economic actors on the marketplace in formal and informal economies, and between licit and illicit trades. The second one takes into account women’s investments in (micro) financial activities
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
