Giudici e corsari nel Mediterraneo : il tribunale delle prede di Sicilia (1808-1813)
No full textIn età napoleonica, durante il blocco continentale-negli anni del protettorato inglese sulla Sicilia-il Mediterraneo è lo scenario di un'indiscriminata guerra di corsa sotto tutte le bandiere che impone restrizioni agli scambi mercantili. Navigli nemici o persino neutrali sono una buona preda anche per i corsari di Sicilia, che corrono dal Tirreno all'Adriatico ai mari della Barberia a caccia di ricchi bottini di merci e uomini. La corsa sotto bandiera di Sua Maestà siciliana, assecondata da una legislazione favorevole e sorretta da una specifica magistratura, il Tribunale delle prede, si dispiega dal 1808 al 1813. I corsari della regina e di armatori privati, il capo di Alta polizia e il console ottomano, grandi armatori, il giudice coscienzioso e gli altri protagonisti, scambiandosi posizioni e ruoli, ci restituiscono un frammento di storia sinora inesplorata. Prendendo in esame le interazioni tra corsari e giudici e analizzando l'intreccio tra i principi giuridico-normativi di giusta preda, gli accordi diplomatici, l'interesse commerciale e la volontà nazionale e patriottica, il libro indaga alcuni aspetti cruciali della guerra di corsa alla vigilia della sua abolizione
Scansar le frodi. Prede corsare nella Sicilia del decennio inglese (1808-1813)
No full textThis essay discusses the topic of fraud linked to the prizes taken by corsairs in the Mediterranean during the period of the Continental Blockade, from the viewpoint of the Kingdom of Sicily, where the Bourbon court was sheltering under the English protectorate. The Tribunale delle prede (1808-1813) judged the legitimacy of the prizes taken by armed Sicilian corsair vessels from ships flying enemy or neutral flags, in a complex juridical framework which also involved the Health and Police authorities, at a time when in the rest of Europe similar institutions were being created. The documents produced by the Tribunale offer a penetrating insight into the dynamics of the fraud and into the practices, set up by the parties involved (judges, ship-owners, corsair captains and crews, merchants, buyers, consuls and official port authorities) which governed the capture, commercialization and evaluation of the prizes. The economy of fraud was not in conflict with the regular economy, but rather a part of it. Corsairing, for its institutional, juridical, diplomatic, political and economic aspects, became a paradigm of commerce, protected by the country of origin and hostile to rivals; and fraud was just one of its possible options

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
