Passaggi dentro la reggia: ragioni e percorso della mostra
No full textTesto di accompagnamento al percorso espositivo della mostra "We Linked Passages. Maestri del Novecento dalla collezioni private genovesi": la mostra presenta all’interno delle sale di Palazzo Reale diciannove lavori di grandi maestri della seconda metà del Novecento, italiani e stranieri, inseriti all’interno del sistema della dimora storica.
Il titolo, preso dall’ultima opera del percorso espositivo, del pittore e musicista americano Ben Patterson, sottolinea la volontà di collegare mondi solo in apparenza distanti: quello dell’arte antica a quello dell’arte contemporanea; il complesso di una residenza aristocratica all’universo delle poetiche e dei linguaggi dell’arte contemporanea; il patrimonio dei musei nazionali a quello delle raccolte private genovesi; il meglio dell’arte italiana al meglio dell’arte internazionale.
Le opere, prestate da generosi e appassionati collezionisti, solitamente invisibili al pubblico, sono state scelte per creare dialoghi, reazioni e contaminazioni per contrasto o per assonanza
Protagonisti e luoghi dell’arte a Genova negli anni Sessanta
No full textIl testo documenta non solo le ricerche più interessanti e aggiornate degli artisti che lavoravano a Genova negli anni Sessanta, ma anche le esperienze promosse dalle diverse realtà che nel decennio hanno reso la città un ambiente culturalmente vivace e dinamico: l’Università, che grazie a uno dei suoi più brillanti docenti, Eugenio Battisti, coadiuvato da alcuni colleghi e collaboratori - tra cui Ezia Gavazza, Gianfranco Bruno, Germano Beringheli e gli allievi Giovanna Rosso e Germano Celant - è stata capace di coniugare didattica, ricerca e divulgazione dando vita a una significativa collezione di opere dei maggiori artisti italiani del tempo; le gallerie private, che con la loro programmazione espositiva hanno fatto conoscere i linguaggi dell’avanguardia artistica nazionale e internazionale; l’Italsider, che ha segnato la storia del rapporto arte-industria con iniziative culturali di ampio respiro
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
