    Sull'invenzione della scrittura nell'orazione di Gorgia "In difesa di Palamede"

    No full text
    The writing, as well as all the Palamede's inventions, has an ambivalent character. Indicted as a traitor by means of a false written document, the hero did not manage to get to prove his innocence. Since truth is not demonstrable, the only way to persuade the judges is the rhetoric

    Il grido di Eribea nel XVII ditirambo di Bacchilide

    No full text
    The cry of Eriboea, touched by Minos, triggers the conflict between the king of Crete and Theseus. Minos considers Eriboea a slave. A female slave in the Greek society was not in a position to refuse the sexual demands. As a protector and a legal guardian of the fourteen youngs, doomed to be sacrificed to the Minotaur, Theseus, heeded Eriboea's cry, rebukes Minos. He assumes that the youths Athenians are not slaves and he cannot permit Minos to force one of them aekonta. Theseus asserts that women have equal rights compared with men

    This paper focuses on the ancient literary sources regarding to the Etruscan music. Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides mention the Tyrrhenian salpinx as though she was well known to the public that attended the theatrical performances. The literary sources attest the importance of music in every aspect of private and social existence of the Etruscans

    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

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    We 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
