Il «secondo tempo» di Porto Marghera: deindustrializzazione e memoria operaia
No full textIl saggio affronta i nessi tra i processi di declino industriale dell'area di Porto Marghera e le loro ricadute sulle pratiche e le autorappresentazioni del mondo del lavoro.The essay explores the links between the processes of industrial decline in the Porto Marghera area and their effects on the practices and self-representations of the labour community
Exclusion and inclusion in the spaces of the Biennale: a proactive reflection
No full textFor more than a century, the Biennale has represented a major cultural institution for Venice, one of the most important on the international stage. In recognising the need to maintain and strengthen this asset, we would like to use this chapter to initiate an argument for expanding the use of the Arsenale and the Giardini di Castello. Giving thought to the development of projects that would allow these two sites to be opened up, not only within the spaces and during exhibition periods, would, as well as benefitting Venice’s citizens, make the link between the Biennale and Venice even stronger and more dynamic. The route is not an easy one, not for the Arsenale, where such approaches have long been discussed, nor for the Giardini, where it would be a matter of acting on a complex contractual relationship between the municipality, the Biennale and the foreign countries involved. But the result would be extraordinary, in both locations. We, the authors, believe that this is not only possible, but necessary
Porto Marghera: eppur si muove.... verso dove?
No full textIl contributo considera l'evoluzione recente del polo portuale-industriale di Porto Marghera (Venezia). Vengono analizzate le tendenze che animano sia il comparto industriale sia l'attività commerciale del porto. Il contesto territoriale mostra diversi segnali di dinamismo. Tuttavia, manca una visione strategica del futuro dell'area, anche per la grande frammentazione amministrativa nel quadro della governance. Il punto centrale resta il futuro del porto, anche alla luce del cambiamento climatico e dell'operatività del MOSE.
The contribution considers the recent evolution of the port-industrial zone of Porto Marghera (Venice). The trends that animate both the industrial sector and the commercial activity of the port are analysed. The territorial context shows various signs of spatial and economic dynamism. However, a strategic vision of the future of the area is missing, also due to the great administrative fragmentation of the governance framework. The key issue remains the future of the port, also in light of climate change and the operation of the MOSE
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
Introduzione
No full textQuesto libro e questa mostra parlano di un progetto: il progetto della città
che vorremmo. Una città viva e inclusiva, bella e adeguata, idealmente ricomposta
a partire da alcune esperienze progettuali diverse, ma tutte di successo.
Tutte, cioè, capaci di intervenire sul corpo fisico e sociale della città portando
in maniera diretta e indiretta un valore aggiunto in termini di qualità complessiva
dei luoghi. Ne abbiamo scelte dieci per tutte, in modo da rappresentare
la molteplicità degli strumenti, delle scale e delle modalità di intervento
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
