E se fosse Haydn...
No full textUn'intensa e personale riflessione sul valore della musica di Franz Joseph Haydn, sulle esecuzioni note all'autore e sull'influenza di Haydn su Mozart e Beethoven, ancor più profonda - contrariamente alla consueta vulgata - nella loro tarda produzione che nel loro periodo di apprendistato.A deep and personal meditation on the value of FJ Haydn's music, on the performances known by the author and on Haydn's influence on Mozart and Beethoven - an influence that, contrarily to common opinion, even deeper in their late production than in their apprenticeship
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
Colonialismo britannico in Terra Ottomana. Riflessioni e approfondimenti
No full textQuesto articolo discute il modo in cui lo storico britannico Jonathan Parry narra il
penetrazione economica e politica dell'Impero britannico nelle terre ottomane. L'autore dell'articolo riconosce che Parry ha fornito molte informazioni nuove e utili, tuttavia nota nel suo libro alcuni aspetti discutibili: per esempio, per Parry l'espansionismo britannico fu poco più che un continuo, necessario
moto di reazione alle ambizioni francesi e russe; il lato "storia culturale" del libro è
affascinante ma non fornisce una visione profonda e un modello comparativo; importanti
aspetti dell'"impegno ottomano" di alcune delle dramatis personae (per es.
David Urquhart) vengono ignorati.
La critica delle varie sezioni del libro di Parry è il punto di partenza per un soggettiva
percorso concettuale, dove il riferimento è principalmente a libri vecchi e trascurati
oppure recenti e poco conosciuti. Una grande parentesi è dedicata all“Editto del Roseto” del 3 novembre 1839. In effetti, lo storico britannico sminuisce l'importanza di questo documento e, in particolare, dubita che affermasse l'uguaglianza giuridica fra tutti i
sudditi dell'Impero Ottomano. Con una traduzione integrale dal turco della prima (e più importante) parte dell'editto l'autore dimostra
che questo famoso documento prevedeva davvero l'uguaglianza, sia pure nell'unico modo possibile
che i recinti della legge coranica e lo spirito dei tempi consentivano, cioè in modo implicito
e ambiguo. In questa sezione e lungo tutto l'articolo chiarimenti filologici
sono forniti più volte.This paper discusses the way the British historian Jonathan Parry narrates the
economic and political penetration of the British Empire in the Ottoman lands. The
author of the paper recognizes that Parry has provided many new and useful information,
however notices in his book some questionable aspects: for example, in Parry’s
representation, British expansionism was little more than a continuous, necessary
reaction to French and Russian ambitions; the “cultural history” side of the book is
intriguing but doesn’t provide a deep insight and a comparative pattern; important
aspects of the “Ottoman commitment” of some of the dramatis personae (for instance
David Urquhart) are ignored.
Criticism of the various sections of Parry’s book is the starting point for a subjective
conceptual road map, where reference is mainly to either old and neglected books
or recent and scarcely known ones. A big parenthesis is devoted to the 3 November
1839 “Rose Garden Edict”. Indeed, the British historian belittles the importance of
this document and, in particular, doubts it affirmed the juridical equality among all
the subjects of the Ottoman Empire. With an integral translation from Turkish of
the first (and more important) part of the edict the author of this paper demonstrates
that this famous document really envisaged equality, albeit in the sole possible way
the fences of the Koranic law and the spirit of the times allowed, i.e., in an implicit
and ambiguous way. In this section and along the paper philological clarifications
are provided as well
La Fine del Potere Ottomano. L’ultimo sultano, l’ultimo califfo, gli ultimi gran visir
No full textContrariamente alla fine dell’Impero zarista, dell’Impero asburgico e di quello germanico, la fine dell’Impero ottomano sopravvenne dopo lunga e tortuosa agonia, prodotta principalmente dalle confliggenti ambizioni delle potenze che avevano vinto la Grande Guerra. A cento anni dall’abolizione del califfato (3 marzo 1924), Fabio L. Grassi ripercorre la storia ben poco conosciuta degli uomini che ressero e rappresentarono l’impero in quegli anni. L’autore ne illustra la vita, la carriera, le propensioni politiche, l’opera, le posizioni di volta in volta assunte, la loro sorte successiva, oltre che la loro dimensione culturale, morale e psicologica. Ciò che fecero e non fecero l’ultimo sultano, l’ultimo califfo e gli ultimi gran visir, ovvero i massimi rappresentanti della «Turchia legale», nelle loro relazioni da una parte con gli Alleati dall’altra con la «Turchia ribelle», costituisce un insieme complesso, ambiguo e in parte ancora misterioso.Contrary to the end of the Tsarist Empire, of the Habsburg Empire and of the Germanic, Empire, the end of the Ottoman Empire came after a long and torturous agony, caused mainly by the conflicting ambitions of the powers that had won the Great War. One hundred years after the abolition of the caliphate (3 March 1924), Fabio L. Grassi traces the scarcely story
known of the men who ruled and represented the empire in those years. The author illustrates their life, career and political propensities policies, their acts, the positions taken from time to time, theirs subsequent fate, as well as their cultural, psychological and moral dimension. What the last sultan, the last caliph and the last grand viziers, i.e. the highest representatives of «legal Türkiye», did and did not do, in their relations on the one hand with the AlliedPowers on the other with "rebel Türkiye", constitutes a
complex, ambiguous and partly still mysterious whole
