“Public history” and “Archival Turn”: Questions and Perspectives on Historical Museum
No full textDuring the past decades, the debate on the representation of history in historical museums has constantly been questioning the identity and the role of those institutions. Deconstructing great narratives; opposing national histories to personal memories; conceiving museums both as sites of education and consumption: these are some of the crucial topics which public history can give its contribution about, in order to find a compromise between the scientific value and the social, political and commercial issues.
I will discuss this matter assuming as study case the former Archive and Museum of War established in Milan by Antonio Monti during the fascist era. The historiographic approach assumed in my study is the “archival turn” that focuses on the relationships among sources, and on the variation of those relationships during the actions proper to museums: collection, organization and display.
By observing how the meaning of the sources changes in consequence to different sets of relationships, the “archival turn” approach may support the public history’s reflection on historical museums, according to the multifocal representation of history required by contemporary societies, but without renouncing to the key role of historians in history telling
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
