‘La tipografia ai non-tipografi’: Guido Modiano e il linguaggio grafico in Italia tra tipografia e arte astratta
No full textGuido Modiano, tipografo e designer attivo a Milano tra gli anni '20 e '30, ha svolto un ruolo significativo nello sviluppo del linguaggio grafico italiano attraverso la contaminazione tra tipografia e arte astratta. Tipografo di formazione, Modiano ha rivelato fin dalla giovane età una personalità curiosa ed eclettica, alimentato dall'amicizia e dalla collaborazione con Edoardo Persico nella redazione di «Casabella», dove ha sperimentato soluzioni grafiche non solo per esigenze pratiche, ma anche per ragioni estetiche e teoriche, scelte ribadite nel corso degli anni '30 in numerosi contributi pubblicati sulle maggiori riviste (da «Campo Grafico» a «Graphicus», da «Il risorgimento Grafico» a «L'industria della stampa»). Nei suoi primi scritti, datati 1929, Modiano ha sostenuto il contributo positivo dell'arte astratta e dell'architettura razionalista nell'evoluzione del linguaggio grafico-pubblicitario italiano, successivamente realizzato nella pubblicazione
di «Tipografia», rivista edita per conto della Fonderia Reggiani, nonché in numerosi prodotti editoriali creati nel corso del decennio. Il culmine del suo impegno incessante nella promozione del modernismo nella tipografia italiana è stata la curatela della Mostra di Arte Grafica alla settima triennale di Milano e il lungo dibattito, Dieci anni di polemica modernista, pubblicato a rate su «L'industria della stampa» tra il 1941 e il 1942.Guido Modiano, a typographer and designer active in Milan between the 1920s and 1930s, played a significant role in the development of Italian graphic language through the contamination between typography and abstract art. A printer by training, Modiano revealed from a young age a curious and eclectic personality, fuelled by friendship and collaboration with Edoardo Persico in the editorial office of «Casabella», where he experimented with graphic solutions determined not only by practical needs but also by aesthetic and theoretical reasons, choises e reiterated throughout the 1930s in numerous contributions published in major industry journals (from «Campo Grafico» to «Graphicus», from «Il risorgimento Grafico» to «L’industria della stampa»). From his earliest writings, dated 1929, Modiano argued the positive contribution of abstract art and rationalist architecture in the evolution of Italian graphic-advertising language, later realized in the publication of «tipografia», a magazine edited on behalf of the reggiani Foundry, as well as in numerous editorial products created over the decade. the culmination of his relentless effort in promoting the modernism in Italian typography was his curatorship of the Graphic Art Exhibition at the 7th triennale of Milan and the lengthy debate, Dieci anni di polemica modernista, published in installments in «L’industria della stampa» between 1941 and 1942
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
Modiano e la Mostra grafica alla VII Triennale
No full textTutti i tentativi di storicizzare la grafica del nostro paese individuano, con ragione, nella Milano degli anni Trenta le origini di una cultura moderna del progetto grafico. Questo saggio ricolloca gli avvenimenti di punta di quegli anni sullo sfondo della accesissima “polemica modernista” che investì il mondo delle arti grafiche italiane e si sofferma su un momento particolare di quella intensa vicenda: la “Mostra dell’arte grafica” curata da Guido Modiano alla Triennale del 1940.
Tale occasione espositiva, citata solo distrattamente da storici e studiosi, è di grande interesse innanzitutto per la sua collocazione “di cerniera”, in quella zona poco esplorata tra gli ultimi anni del fascismo e il dopoguerra.
Obiettivo del testo è inoltre sottolineare l’importanza rivestita in dalla figura del tipografo Guido Modiano e mostrare come il suo lavoro di ordinatore alla VII Triennale si ponga a coronamento di una lucida riflessione critica, che attende ancora di essere tolta dall’ombra
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
