La fotografia e i pittori, la pittura e i fotografi: Roma 1870-1911. Le relazioni, i contesti, le pratiche, gli utilizzi
Full text linkLa tesi vuole ricostruire e analizzare, in un contesto storico e geografico definito, le relazioni tra pittura e fotografia intese nelle loro molteplici declinazioni, la natura dei loro rapporti e la modalità dei loro scambi. Più nello specifico, essa indaga le corrispondenze e le influenze tra pratiche artistiche e cultura fotografica soffermandosi da un lato sulla funzione ricoperta dai fotografi che con la pittura ebbero un legame sostanziale, e dall'altro sull'attività dei pittori che utilizzarono il mezzo ottico esplorandone sia le caratteristiche tecniche che le potenzialità creative

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
Human in digital: Mind and body grappling with project-making in a dematerialized world
No full textHauling human beings into the digital world is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. After three previous eras of great transformation, humankind must now actively connect with the current era of "robots and AI." This requires not only transferring a realistic human image into the virtual space but also developing a heteromatic and algomatic identity for the individual, bringing their complex and often unknown aspects into the digital realm. For designers, this means understanding and representing a model of reality that can be handled and manipulated by machines.
This model is characterized by multiple layers. The process is epitomized by digital identities, recognized as a full dataset that confirms a person as a citizen in the country's social, political, and economic system. The second layer is the visual and auditory representation of our morphological identity, including our body shape and voice. Another layer consists of our brain identity, which can be distilled through neuroscientific techniques and the applications that derive from them. The fourth layer is the immersive environment, the artificial and natural landscape in which we are immersed, which can be modeled and reproduced through computation.
Bringing these layers together creates a sketchy approximation of immersive parallel realities, where all our actions and thoughts are recorded and stored, and can be turned into data and value. The analysis presented here aims to provide a framework for contemporary designers to handle this jump in species, helping to transform individuals in this critical super-adaptation process.
What we have mentioned has become one of the most exciting fields of study in modern-day advanced design. At the Advanced Design School of Bologna, we study this level of complexity, which we call the “transformative human being”; in other words, the need to design and redesign ourselves continuously and con-sciously and not just by changing environment into habitat
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
