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
Moving landscape. I Califfi, i vulcani e i cambiamenti ambientali della Cappadocia tra VII e X secolo
No full textVariations 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

Le strade nell’Italia di Strabone
No full textAs a geographer, Strabo mentions the roads which cross the Italian peninsula, as they represent one of the main spatial references he has at his disposal to ‘depict through words’ the characters and the features of a region. Even though his descriptions do not always allow to precisely define the layout of the routes on the ground, they nevertheless can account for a chorographic perspective which had to reasonably use maps in order to be properly applied. From a topographic point of view, one could reflect on the possibility of recognising the typology of those maps in the Tabula Peutingeriana and its archetype
Dai punti alla linea, dalla linea alla rete: lo slow tourism lungo le antiche vie dell’Adriatico, dal Po alle isole Incoronate
No full textIl progetto HISTORIC (Heritage for Innovative and Sustainable TOurist Regions in Italy and Croatia), finanziato dal Programma transfrontaliero Italia-Croazia 2014-2020 (Interreg VA), intende promuovere un utilizzo più consapevole, sostenibile e responsabile dei paesaggi storici costieri dell’Alto Adriatico e del loro patrimonio culturale. Per cercare di raggiungere tale obiettivo, il progetto prevede di elaborare delle strategie che
implementino la conoscenza del/sul paesaggio da parte della popolazione locale, dei
turisti, degli stakeholders e delle istituzioni. In questo senso, grande attenzione è dedicata
alla creazione di itinerari culturali che promuovano pratiche di mobilità dolce e che permettano di ripercorrere le antiche vie di comunicazione che hanno dato forma al paesaggio adriatico, dall’attuale delta del Po fino alla costa dalmata. Ciascun itinerario
collegherà i vari punti (aree di interesse storico, siti archeologici o zone naturali),
formando una rete culturale, integrata e diffusa, che permetta di riconsiderare il paesaggio e la sua storia in termini più consapevoli e condivisi. Questa promozione del turismo lento si avvarrà anche di tecnologie smart che arricchiscano l’esperienza di percezione del paesaggio (antico e moderno) e del suo patrimonio culturale, contribuendo così alla definizione di nuovi protocolli e di ‘buone pratiche’ da adottare nella pianificazione dei paesaggi storici
