Giulio Rossi, Giuseppe Partini e il neomedievalismo nell'architettura civile senese del XIX secolo
No full textIl neomedievalismo ottocentesco incise in modo significativo sul tessuto edilizio del centro storico di Siena, instaurando un confronto contraddittorio ma non superficiale con l’architettura del passato. Il sacrificio delle stratificazioni postmedievali, dell’edilizia minore e talvolta delle stesse strutture che si intendeva recuperare e valorizzare, avvenne infatti nel quadro della restituzione di un’immagine della città volta ad un rigoroso recupero dei valori formali della tradizione gotica, spesso rivisitati alla luce di una nuova sensibilità e di un atteggiamento non strettamente imitativo. L’intervento ripercorre i caratteri salienti del complesso rapporto con l’architettura storica tramite l’analisi delle opere di due figure fondamentali: Giulio Rossi, primo esponente del neomedievalismo senese e artefice, fin dalla seconda metà degli anni Quaranta, di importanti interventi su edifici civili, e Giuseppe Partini, suo allievo e protagonista per oltre un trentennio della scena architettonica. Entrambi provenivano dalle file dell’Istituto di Belle Arti, asse portante della vita artistica della città e incunabolo dei principali orientamenti di cultura e di stile. A partire dal 1851 la direzione dell’istituto fu assunta da Luigi Mussini, le cui idee ‘puriste’, orientate verso un recupero critico delle testimonianze medievali e rinascimentali, trovarono, specie nelle opere di Partini, una piena e qualificata adesione.In the 19th century the Neo-medieval current in architecture had a significant impact on building in the historic center of Siena and created a contrast with the architecture of the past that was contradictory but not superficial. The elimination of the post-medieval layers, of minor buildings and sometimes even of the structures that they intended to restore and revive, occurred, in fact, as part of a program to revive the image of the city based on a rigorous recovery of the formal ideals of the Gothic tradition which was often interpreted according to a new sensitivity and an attitude that was not wholly based on imitation. This paper discusses the main characteristics of the complex relationship with historical architecture by analyzing the work of two of the fundamental protagonists: Giulio Rossi, the leading figure in Sienese neo-medievalism who, starting in the second half of the 1940s was the author of important work on some of the city buildings, and Giuseppe Partini, his pupil, who was for over thirty years one of the protagonists on the architectural scene. Both architects had studied at the Istituto di Belle Arti, the most important institution in the artistic life of the city and the birthplace of the main cultural and stylistic currents a. Starting in 1851, the institute was under the direction of Luigi Mussini, whose ‘purist’ ideas, directed towards the critical recovery of Medieval and Renaissance forms, were adhered to totally by many qualified architects, especially Partini
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
