Il verso dell'uomo. Ontologia e sviluppo del poetico: una prospettiva sociologica
No full textLa poesia è la natura della nostra specie. In essa fiorisce e prolifera la complessità dell’umano, le cui variabili fondamentali si delineano lungo le traiettorie irradiate dalla parola poetica, perché la poesia è creatrice dell’individuo che la crea. Allo stesso tempo, la poiesis si origina e si definisce nell’anthropos, nelle sue peculiarità, attorno ai suoi elementi fondanti, lungo i sentieri tracciati dal divenire umano, perché l’individuo è creatore della poesia che lo crea. Com’è possibile, dunque, la poesia? Dove si situa, e in che modi si rivela, il poetico? Cosa fa di un individuo un poeta? Questo libro è un viaggio nella dimensione poetica dell’identità umana, nell’intricato intreccio di trame intorno alle quali si snoda e si articola la relazione tra l’individuo e la complessità dell’esistenza

Bruciata gioventù. Identità e partecipazione delle giovani generazioni
No full textIl saggio indaga con intensa attenzione critica i limiti e le contraddizioni che hanno caratterizzato in Italia l'iniziativa politica ed istituzionale degli ultimi decenni. Anche i movimenti giovanili hanno subito l'influenza e il condizionamento forte di taluni apparati della comunicazione, impegnati essenzialmente a promuovere una retorica, che ha frustrato possibilità e aspettative del Paese nella prospettiva di un suo pieno adeguamento agli standard europei
“I Don’t Dress Like You”: Islamophobia Between the (In)Visible Violence against Muslim Women in Italy, and Resilience Strategies
No full textIslamophobia is a constantly growing phenomenon throughout both Europe and Italy, with it being the expression of a general tendency towards the stigmatization of Muslim communities, whose manifestation, on a social level, at times occurs more evidently and at others more subtly.
The first part of the paper will reconstruct a theoretical framework, with a post-colonial matrix, of the concept of Islamophobia and the ways in which it interacts with radicalization, hate crimes, and violence. It seems that the causes of these negative manifestations and emotions towards Islam and the subjects who profess this faith, with their set of practices, habits, ways of living, and dressing, are to be identified with both the increase of Jihadist attacks as well as the rise of right-wing populist parties.
If the tolerance towards Muslim men seems to be greater on the part of Italians, it seems that it is “veiled” women (Zempi 2020) who are the subject of episodes of visible and invisible violence. Muslim women are more exposed to fragility, due to both long-standing reasons linked to gender and since they interact in precarious contexts and social spaces peripheral to the center. These reflections are the framework within which the survey in the second part of the paper will be developed.
An ethnographic approach, which will include narrative interviews focused on Muslim women of different generations, in 3 Italian regions, mainly Somali (also refugees and asylum seekers), will be used to analyze the dimensions of violence and resilience in relation to the narratives that the interviewees give of their experiences of gendered islamophobia. The survey also discusses the involvement of Somali female activists, along with the presidents of anti-racist/feminist/Muslim organizations and actors who work with issues related to discrimination, racism and equality for the rights of Muslims. The elaboration of the interviews will be conducted within the paradigm of the enhancement of subjectivities.
The conclusions will propose strategies for dealing with and raising awareness of such delicate and, it is hoped, urgent containment issues, to promote a more cohesive society
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
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
