    A City without Territory. Trade, Tourism and the Use of the Sea: the Case of Trieste

    This contribution offers a glimpse into recent developments in the administrative, economic and political history of Trieste, within the framework of the local, regional and – because of the town’s unique circumstances – international communities. In the first parts of this work, the identification of the city with Italy’s eastern border is retraced, following the historical events of the second post-war period, a phase in which Trieste was one of the sites of the confrontation, also from a commercial point of view, between Western democracies and the socialist countries of the Eastern Bloc. From the nineteen-sixties onwards, the city had to re-establish its position both within the autonomous region of which it is now the capital – Friuli Venezia Giulia – and in terms of its relationships with the neighbouring countries of Slovenia and Croatia, which are now members of the European Union alongside Italy. This new situation has highlighted the uncertain nature of Trieste’s hinterland by reason of its limited administrative and political power. As is described in the second part of this work, the city had to redefine an economic system in which critical issues such as the absence of major manufacturing industry, the reduced activity of its port, and a trading network stuck in the local dimension have led to the image of Trieste being reconsidered from the point of view of an outside observer, and to a focus on tourism, also through, and as a consequence of, a new and different use of the sea. In this way, we will see how the redevelopment and gentrification of central areas such as the Cavana district or the triangle of via Torino has progressed at the same pace as the private sporting initiative known as the Barcolana, whose economic success and its promotion of the image of Trieste have contributed to remodelling the relationship between the city and the sea, that is, between its inhabitants and the resource upon which Trieste built its fortune

    RIASSUNTO: il presente studio si pone l'obiettivo di fornire un approfondimento concettuale sul tema delle destinazioni transfrontaliere, contribuendo così al tuttora limitato dibattito scientifico. Il lavoro evidenzia la necessità di ridefinire il concetto di destinazione turistica, tradizionalmente concepito come spazio geografico statico, considerandone invece la natura malleabile dei suoi confini. Inoltre, vengono discussi i benefici derivanti da una governance integrata e dalla cooperazione nelle cross-border destination

    I nuovi modelli organizzativi della produzione e del consumo hanno determinato una spinta verso la disruptive economy destinata a modificare progressivamente le relazioni tra persone e territorio, con effetti spaziali che richiedono nuovi modelli interpretativi. Il contributo analizza tale processo nella misura in cui esso ha coinvolto anche il sistema commerciale sempre più orientato verso modelli distributivi incentrati sulla costruzione di piattaforme logistiche destinate a creare enclave di sviluppo confinate in pochi poli localizzativi

    The contribution of competence center to strengthening the absorbity capacity - The aim of this work is to confirm the importance of the Competence Center (CC) in strengthening the absorptive capacity of companies that benefit from the initiatives, agreeing with the theory that it can be fed from the outside through formal alliances, constitutive of knowledge ecosystem. To this end, some reflections on the meaning of competence will take place in the first part, in order to come to support the importance of an integrated approach to the formation of human capital in the 21st century. The second part focuses on the strategic visions of the CC provided for in the Plan Industry 4.0, which, by aggregating different entities with various functions, can potentially generate significant benefits on the qualification of human resource

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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
