Papers on Quintilian and Ancient Declamation
No full textDeclamation - the practice of training young men to speak in public by setting them to compose and deliver speeches on fictional legal cases - was central to the Greek and Roman educational systems over many centuries and has been the subject of a recent explosion of scholarly interest. The work of Michael Winterbottom has been seminal in this regard, and the present volume brings together a broad selection of his scholarly articles and reviews published since 1964, creating an authoritative and accessible resource for this burgeoning field of study.
The assembled papers focus on two related topics: the rhetorician Quintilian and ancient declamation in practice. Quintilian, who taught rhetoric at Rome in the second half of the first century AD, was the author of the Institutio Oratoria, a key text for Roman educational practice, rhetoric, and literary criticism. Subjects explored in the present collection range widely over not only the establishment and interpretation of the text and its literary and historical context, but also Quintilian's views on inspiration, morality, philosophy, and declamation, of which he was a practitioner. While the volume also offers detailed examinations of the texts and interpretations of a wide range of Latin and Greek authors of declamations, such as Seneca the Elder, Sopatros, and Ennodius, there is a particular focus on two collections wrongly attributed to Quintilian, the so-called 'Minor' and 'Major Declamations'. A major re-assessment of the manuscript tradition of the latter collection is published here for the first time

Il sintagma aggettivale
No full textQuesto contributo offre una descrizione complessiva del sintagma aggettivale nelle varietà italoromanze medievali. La parte centrale della trattazione è dedicata all’aggettivo qualificativo (e di relazione), come prototipo del sintagma in questione: se ne analizzano funzioni, forme, topologia, struttura argomentale, espressione dei gradi (comparativo e superlativo). Quindi si passa agli aggettivi determinativi, facendo anche luce sull’uso aggettivale del pronome relativo. Infine si considerano brevemente costrutti che condividono alcuni aspetti degli aggettivi propriamente detti: sintagmi preposizionali e proposizioni relative. I numerosi esempi sono tratti da testi di generi differenti: prosa letteraria, poesia, testi pratici e soprattutto la cosiddetta “prosa media”, tipica del Medioevo italoromanzo.Francesco Bianco - Benedetto Giuseppe Russo, "Il sintagma aggettivale", in "Sintassi dell'italiano antico.

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
Managing Business Relationships: Between Service Culture and a Viable Systems Approach
No full textToday’s business arena, as is the case in everyday life, is increasingly interconnected, highlighting the importance of relationships among people and business actors. Service culture is centred on the valorisation of relationships with clients and other interested parties in the attempt to maximise overall satisfaction, and complex service systems represent an emerging model for business experiences and competition, strengthening inter-firm relationships for the benefit of competitive advantage and long-term survival. The Viable Systems Approach (VSA) is a theoretical proposal centred on relational harmonisation among systemic actors. The purpose of this contribution is hence to deepen business relationships, attempting to analyse how to direct and manage them to promote diffuse value creation and competitiveness.
This paper introduces the Viable Systems Approach and the concept of system thinking, which derives from the shift in attention from the part to the whole, implying a perception of reality as an integrated and interacting unicuum of phenomena, where the individual properties of the single parts become indistinct as the relationships between the parts themselves and the events that they produce through their interaction become more important because system elements are rationally connected.
The paper then examines in greater depth the specific contributions of the VSA to inter-firm relationships within network contexts and environmental relationships, illustrating its interesting proposals and how much they are coherent with recent service research theories.

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
