Il "giardino grande"dei Ventimiglia a Castelbuono
No full textEvery historical epoch believes that the historiography of the preceding period is unsatisfactory: in this way it rewrites History, in other words it expresses its own historiography. It seeks in History the “past of its present”: the historian questions the past from its own present. The scholars of Architecture’s History have a sensitivity that nowadays is assisted by a constant evolution: in this way many disciplines are involved, and these ones become technologically capable of bringing a new awareness to the knowledge of the “cultural scaffolding” of territory. Our study aims to show how different techniques of architectural survey (with the aid of the 3D photomodeling methods) have allowed the identification of the dimensional, geometric and formal elements of an extraordinary Renaissance garden located in the territory of Castelbuono (PA)
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Tracce GPS e rilievo delle strutture paesistiche: un'esperienza di rilievo nel territorio attraversato dalle ferrovie Appulo-Lucane. GPS tracks and representation of landscape structural facts: an experience of survey in the territory corssed by the Appulo-Lucane railways
No full textIl presente contributo riporta i primi esiti di un’esperienza di rilievo delle strutture paesistiche e delle polarità culturali presenti sul territorio compreso tra le città di Matera e di Irsina. Il lavoro è sviluppato con riferimento alle relazioni di scala territoriale che possono essere identificate tra gli elementi di carattere culturale – ambientale, il cui valore è già ampiamente riconosciuto, e altri sistemi legati a componenti di carattere più eterogeneo e meno esplorati come sono, ad esempio, le infrastrutture. All’interno dello studio sono messe in evidenza le potenzialità dei sistemi di geolocalizzazione e di tracciamento GPS, intesi come strumenti in grado di supportare e persino arricchire, sia l’esperienza diretta legata all’esplorazione e conoscenza dei luoghi, sia l’elaborazione di mappe tematiche che siano in grado di fissare, attraverso un’immagine sintetica, il quadro conoscitivo sinottico risultante dall’esercizio di rilievo territoriale. L'identificazione del caso di studio delle ferrovie Appulo - Lucano, lungo la tratta Bari - Matera - Potenza, rappresenta un'opportunità per la sperimentazione sul campo di approcci metodologici in relazione alle opportunità di sviluppo turistico dei territori tra la Puglia e la Basilicata e per indagare il ruolo che un rapporto positivo tra infrastrutture e paesaggio può svolgere in questo campo. Queste azioni possono favorevolmente essere integrate con quelle già assunte a Matera come sito UNESCO e come città candidata come Capitale Europea della Cultura nel 2019.
This paper reports the first results of an experience of surveying and representation of the structural facts that support the landscape and of the cultural polarities that are present in the territories in between the cities of Matera and Irsina, crossed by the Appulo – Lucana railway. The research is carried on with reference to the possible spatial scale relationships that can be identified between the elements of cultural and environmental nature - the value of which is already widely recognized - and other systems, related to components of a more heterogeneous character and less explored meaning, as are, for example, the infrastructures. Within this study are highlighted the potential of geolocating systems and GPS tracking, as a means to support and even enhance, both the direct connection with the exploration experience and local knowledge, and the development of thematic maps that may contribute to determine, through a synthetic image, a synoptic cognitive framework. The identification of the case study of the Appulo – Lucana railway, along the route Bari - Matera - Potenza, represents an opportunity for field-testing of methodological approaches in relation to the opportunities for tourism development of the territories in between Puglia and Basilicata and to investigate the role that a positive relationship between infrastructures and landscape can play in this field. These actions can favorably be integrated with those already undertaken in Matera as a UNESCO site and as candidate city as European Capital of Culture in 2019
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
