    Il baronaggio pugliese sulla scena della Monarquía hispánica

    The paper proposes several considerations regarding the effects produced by Spanish rule in the historical province of “Terra di Bari”. The first part reconstructs the new feudal map of the territory, born from the dissolution of the great domains of the fifteenth century and destined to remain stable for a long duration. Furthermore, the provincial baronage and its evolving composition up until the mid-seventeenth century is analyzed. The second part once more proposes the controversial problem of demilitarization wanted by the Catholic monarchy in order to control southern barons. On the basis of a few particular cases, the integration of individuals and families of “Terra di Bari” in the Spanish imperial system is studied through the military service

    "Li baroni non possono mangiarsi le università": le riforme delle amministrazioni cittadine in Sicilia nell'età tanucciana.

    Il saggio ripercorre le fasi della politica – intrapresa con slancio già dal viceré Laviefuille sin dagli anni Cinquanta del Settecento e perseguita ancora negli anni Settanta del secolo dal Tanucci – di contenimento degli abusi feudali e di rinnovamento del governo delle università siciliane, sia nei centri demaniali sia, seppur con maggior difficoltà, nelle terre feudali. Particolare attenzione fu allora dedicata alle procedure di elezione degli ufficiali di giustizia e municipali nelle terre baronali e alla composizione dei consigli civici, temi questi cari al Tanucci e successivamente ripresi dal viceré Caracciolo

    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

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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
