    Screditare Benedetto Croce. Aldo Romano tra storiografia e spionaggio

    Full text link
    The essay examines the winding life path of Aldo Romano, a young Neapolitan intellectual in Benedetto Croce’s inner circle. He was recruited by the regime to gather information in order to blackmail Croce for his anti-fascist early years. Espionage intertwines with the historiography on Risorgimento and the immediate postwar period, when the damning papers, exposing him as a spy, resurfaced and damaged his professional prospects. In the background looms the rivalry with Carlo Rosselli, and the efforts of De Vecchi and Volpe to endorse a new generation of scholars.Il saggio analizza il tortuoso itinerario di un giovane intellettuale partenopeo, Aldo Romano, inserito nell’entourage di Benedetto Croce e utilizzato dal regime per carpire informazioni ai suoi danni, ricattandolo per i trascorsi antifascisti. Lo spionaggio s’intreccia con la storiografia risorgimentale e, nell’immediato dopoguerra, con l’emergere dell’infamante documentazione, col risultato di bollare Romano come spia e penalizzarlo nell’avvenire professionale. Sullo sfondo campeggiano la rivalità con Carlo Rosselli e l’operato di De Vecchi e Volpe per promuovere una nuova generazione di studiosi

    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

    Questo inedito di Lucio Ceva Valla ripercorre, in forma diaristica, la seconda guerra mondiale vissuta da un ragazzo alle soglie dell’adolescenza. Con linguaggi, vicende, persone e luoghi, rivive un ambiente famigliare minoritario e anticonformista venato da sensibilità individuali. Alle attrattive e alle sorprese di questa moderna éducation sentimentale, si mescola l’interesse per i diversi aspetti della storia italiana che nasceva ogni giorno fra intuizioni e illusioni

    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
