Agire, relazione, libertà
No full textIn questo saggio mi sono dedicato anzitutto a un approfondimento dell’idea di ‘agire’ che sia capace di non ridurre questo concetto a una semplice produzione di effetti da parte di una causa. Ne ho approfondito poi il carattere relazionale, cercando di precisare in che modo l’idea e, soprattutto, l’attività della relazione debbano essere propriamente intese, a partire da ciò che quotidianamente sperimentiamo. In questa chiave soltanto può essere inquadrato il tema della libertà. E di conseguenza può essere sviluppata anche un’idea di etica, intesa davvero come etica della relazione, che possa risultare conforme al carattere relazionale e libero dell’essere umano

Introduzione a "Critica della ragione generativa", Vita e Pensiero, Milano 2017
No full textLa cultura moderna ha spesso stornato la generazione dalle categorie ontologiche, antropologiche ed etiche fondamentali, o l’ha mantenuta, ma nel senso dell’autoproduzione idealista. Sennonché la stessa identità soggettiva e, di seguito, l’umana capacità di fare esperienza feconda, richiedono la generazione da parte di altri per essere attivate: grazie alle relazioni benefico-virtuose guadagniamo le nostre capacità fondamentali (cognitive, riflessive, deliberative, espressive, dialogiche, tecniche, ecc.). Insomma, la generatività è la dimensione antropologicamente sintetica, a partire dalla quale è possibile giudicare le relazioni umane, che sono sempre generative o de-generative, sempre istituenti o destituenti altri. A dispetto della sentenza secondo cui «la mia libertà finisce dove comincia la tua», si deve invece dire che «la mia libertà esiste perché c’è la tua, e se la tua è benefica, inoltre ha senso anche, e principalmente in vista della relazione generativa benefica reciprocante con la tua».Modern culture has often shifted generation from ontological, anthropological and ethical fundamental categories, or has maintained it, but in the sense of idealistic self-handling. But the subjective identity and, subsequently, the human ability to make fruitful experience, require generation on behalf of others to be activated: thanks to the beneficial-virtuous relationships we gain our fundamental abilities (cognitive, reflexive, deliberative, expressive, dialogical, technical, etc.). In short, generativity is the anthropologically synthetic dimension, on the basis of which it is possible to judge human relations, which are always generative or de-generative, always institutive or destituent. In spite of the sentence according to which "my freedom ends where yours begins", it must instead be said that "my freedom exists because there is yours, and if yours is beneficial, it also makes sense, and primarily, in view of the generative mutually beneficial relationship with yours"
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
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
