La vestibilità nella storia
No full textIl capitolo è una panoramica storica sulle declinazioni della vestibilità e la sua evoluzione nel tempo, nel suo passaggio da dato di fatto alla consapevole progettazione. Un approfondimento per comprendere come le tecniche e procedure di progettazione si volgono al futuro e come si tratta la vestibilità in un’ottica di design, prestando cioè una particolare attenzione alle mutazione del corpo che essa configura
e alla progettazione dei materiali di cui è anzitutto fatta e che sono l’interfaccia tra corpo e mondo.
Il capitolo prosegue con un saggio di impronta sociologico-antropologica sul "corpo incompiuto", e cioè la necessità che l’uomo
durante i secoli ha sempre sentito di modificare il proprio corpo, enfatizzando, nascondendo e a volte persino ridicolizzando alcune parti di esso; e con un'analisi dei cicli della moda e della sua costante tensione al cambiamento.
In conclusione, un'intervista a Carlo Rivetti, docente, imprenditore tessile, fondatore del brand Stone Island
FIBRE E TESSUTI
No full textA monte della vestibilità ci sono i tessuti e la loro progettazione. Il capitolo ripercorre la storia dei tessuti per affrontare la loro funzione comunicativa, linguistica, e culturale e prosegue con una catalogazione e descrizione delle caratteristiche delle più diverse tipologie tessili.
A conclusione, uno sguardo sulle future evoluzioni delle fibre e delle tecnologie a disposizione del designer della moda per la progettazione di nuovi scenari e prodotti
Large earthquakes and Earth rotation: the role of mantle relaxation
Full text linkBy means of a radially stratified spherical model and using the available moment tensor solutions, we evaluate the contribution of large earthquakes to polar drift in the last two decades. In contrast to previous analyses, which only considered the elastic response of the Earth to the release of seismic moment, we account for mantle rheology and thus for the time‐dependent postseismic inertia changes driven by global seismicity. We confirm that during the last twenty years the global seismic activity has not significantly altered the rotational parameters of the Earth. However, we find that for values of asthenospheric viscosity suggested by recent studies of postseismic stress diffusion, the delayed relaxation of the mantle amplifies the average rate of polar drift by a factor of 1.2 to 1.7 (depending on the width of the asthenosphere) even on a decade time‐scale
Anomalous Roughness of the Pole Path at the Time of the 1994 Bolivia and Kurile Islands Earthquakes
No full textWe report anomalies in the roughness of the path of the pole of rotation at the time of the Bolivia earthquake of June 9, 1994 (Mω = 8.2) and of the Kurile Islands earthquake of October, 4, 1994 (Mω = 8.3). This finding reinforces the results of previous studies, which have indicated changes in the polar motion curvature at the time of major earthquakes
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

Quante erano le messe mantovane? Nuovi elementi e qualche precisazione su Palestrina e il repertorio musicale per S. Barbara
No full textVariations 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
