Pedagogia e bioestetica del lavoro
No full textRIASSUNTO Questo contributo si pone l’obiettivo di illustrare la natura estetica del lavoro post-fordista e di riflettere sul possibile valore educativo di una “paideia estetica” nei contesti organizzativi. Il discorso si articola in quattro parti. Nelle prime due vengono delineati i fattori “estetici” del lavoro di oggi: la figura del lavoratore-impresa, “vittima” di un gioco biopolitico che promette felicità e autorealizzazione illusorie; il carattere precario del lavoro; la potenza simbolica della merce. Nelle ultime due parti si intende dimostrare che pilotare l’aisthesis del lavoratore attraverso la gestione del paesaggio aziendale è bioestetica, per combattere la quale può essere utile edificare delle comunità di pratica attente a investire sulla dimensione estetica del lavoro con finalità pedagogiche. Riconoscere il carattere “sensibile” e disinteressato della “gratuità”, ovvero la dimensione tacita, il volto più autentico e sotterraneo di un’impresa, educa a comprendere che lavorare per il profitto può non escludere il senso del lavoro per le persone che lavorano.
ABSTRACT This contribution aims to illustrate the aesthetic nature of post-Fordist work and to reflect on the educative value of an “aesthetic paideia” in organisational contexts. The paper is divided
in four parts. In the first two the aesthetic factors of today’s labour are delineated as follow: the figure of the worker-enterprise, victim of a biopolitical game which promises illusory happiness and self-satisfaction; the precarious nature of work; the symbolic power of commodity. In the last two parts, the argument intends to demonstrate that the manipulation of the worker’s aesthesis, by means of managing the enterprise landscape, is bio-aesthetics, which can be faced instituting communities of practice focused on investing in the aesthetic dimension of work with pedagogical
aims. To recognize the “sensible” and disinterested aspects of “gratuitousness” – that is the tacit dimension, the most authentic and deep nature of an enterprise – educates to understand that working for profit can’t exclude the sense of labour for working people.

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
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
Electrophysiological and neuroimaging approaches for the investigation of functional brain networks
No full textDespite the continuous advances in brain imaging and signaling techniques, our knowledge of the human brain remains incomplete. In the study of the fascinating yet complex brain connectome, only the integration of complementary techniques can provide a more complete view and extend the spatio-temporal domain coverage. Likely, multiple analytical frameworks are required to comprehensively unravel the brain’s interaction patterns. The aim of this talk is to provide an overview of the areas of integration of neuroimaging and electrophysiological techniques and processing pipelines that are relevant for the study of functional brain networks. We will describe the principles, advantages, and drawbacks of techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG), as well as unimodal and multimodal analysis approaches for the study of functional brain networks. Finally, we will present exemplary applications of these approaches in the study of neuropsychiatric disorders for which a dysconnectivity hypothesis has been proposed
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
