Conoscenza religiosa, rivista letteraria del Novecento
No full textRIASSUNTO «Conoscenza Religiosa», rivista letteraria internazionale diretta da Elémire Zolla, ha attraversato controcorrente gli anni Settanta proponendo provocatoriamente una cultura “religiosa” che fosse in grado di guardare ogni campo del sapere con uno sguardo nuovo, oltre la modernità. Dalle pagine della rivista emerge un atteggiamento postrazionalista che considera con rinnovato rispetto le tradizioni e i miti. Di questi, la visione metaculturale proposta coglie un’unità profonda che infrange barriere geografiche e diacroniche.

The Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) - 1992/1999
No full textThe United Nations, recognizing natural disasters as a major threat to human life and development, designed the
1990-1999 period as the International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (UN/IDNDR; UN Res. 42/169/
1987). Among the IDNDR Demonstration Projects is the Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP),
launched in 1992 by the International Lithosphere Program (ILP) and implemented in the 1992-1999 period. In
order to mitigate the risk associated to the recurrence of earthquakes, the GSHAP promoted a regionally
coordinated, homogeneous approach to seismic hazard evaluation. To achieve a global dimension, the GSHAP
established initially a mosaic of regions and multinational test areas, then expanded to cover whole continents
and finally the globe. The GSHAP Global Map of Seismic Hazard integrates the results obtained in the regional
areas and depicts Peak-Ground-Acceleration (PGA) with 10% chance of exceedance in 50 years, corresponding
to a return period of 475 years. All regional results and the Global Map of Seismic Hazard are published in 1999
and available on the GSHAP homepage on http://seismo.ethz.ch/GSHAP/.JCR Journalope

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
