    La narrazione del diritto nella saga cinematografica di Harry Potter

    No full text
    From the rules on curses without forgiveness, to the strongly discriminatory ones against house-elves and half-bloods, the narrative of "magical law" in the film adaptation of the Harry Potter saga represents an extremely important profile. This contribution examines some of the most emblematic manifestations of law in the films of the lightning-scarred wizard: through the analysis of the structure and functioning of the Ministry of Magic, the court system and the ex- isting guarantees of fundamental rights, what emerges is a representation of law far removed from the principles and freedoms proper to Muggle constitutionalism in stabilized democracies

    Le recenti Conclusioni dell’Avvocato Generale Collins relative alla domanda di pronuncia pregiudiziale proposta dal Tribunale di Bolzano rappresentano l’occasione per tornare a riflettere sulla complessa e articolata disciplina della conservazione e accesso ai metadati per scopi securitari nell’UE e nel contesto italiano. Il presente contributo intende fornire alcune prime considerazioni critiche sul presente e sul futuro della data retention nonché sulle sfide che diversi attori, tanto a livello nazionale quanto sovranazionale, dovranno affrontare nel difficile bilanciamento tra sicurezza e tutela dei diritti fondamentali nell’era digitale.The recent Opinion of the Advocate General related to the request for a preliminary ruling proposed by the Bolzano Tribunal represents a renewed opportunity to discuss about the complex and articulated discipline concerning the retention and access to metadata for security purposes. The paper aims at providing some initial evaluations on the state of the art as well as on the possible future developments on data retention regulation, both at national and supranational level: different actors – legislators and courts – should confront with the difficult challenge of balancing security needs and fundamental rights protection in the digital era

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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
