Giorgio di Matteo Dalmata e i suoi committenti: le reti del Quattrocento adriatico
No full textDuring the early 15th century, a Dalmatian architectural and sculptural market flourished in the Adriatic basin, based on the extreme mobility of people and materials. The best-known
architect-sculptor of the period, Giorgio di Matteo Dalmata/Juraj Matejev Dalmatinac, emerged as one of the protagonists of this fertile creative season characterized by the formulation of different constructive and formal solutions, often stimulated by antiquity. They correspond to a new socio-political order in the Adriatic, based on Venetian economic diplomatic mechanisms of taxation and privileges. The article offers a brief survey of some important protagonists of Giorgio di Matteo's choral commissions in Šibenik, Venice and Ancona, and their needs for representation in architectural and sculptural works
Giorgio di Matteo da Sebenico e il “rinascimento alternativo” nel ‘400 adriatico”,
No full textThe Loggia dei Mercanti is the most significant civil building in Ancona, not just for its
intrinsic artistic value but also as a lay symbol of the successful mercantile activity that
characterized the history and development of the Dorian city. Its façade, decorated in the distinctive
style known as “Adriatic Gothic” and now restored, is one of the masterpieces of the
Croatian sculptor and architect Giorgio di Matteo da Sebenico. His entire body of work is a
testimony to just how variegated and complex and how little deterministic was the evolution
toward what we call the “Renaissance” language, poised between a nascent and still undefined
process of revival of classical models and the parallel persistence of a “romantically”
Gothic sensitivity, out of choice and not cultural backwardness. This last is particularly discernible
in the taste of clients in regions not yet won over by the “enlightened” culture of
Florence, such as Venice, Siena, Ancona and Dalmatia
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
