Eco-urban Architecture
No full textIta/EnglIn the age of globalization, of intercontinental travels, of the spreading of the internet, cinema shows us how not only does not exist ONLY ONE model of development, but also that, among the possible and viable alternatives, Paris' model represents the best system of development. In the suburbs of many cities, the spreading of a SUB-urban model is still seen. It is characterized by stretches of small villas of North-American origin or by shabby barns of European-totalitarian origin of the 1920s or 1930s, which are linked through bundles of highways to business centers or huge megastores surrounded by endless parkings. At the same time, on the same planet, within the same economic system, millions of people daily live the pleasantness of the European traditional city’s system of streets, squares and blocks

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
Places culture in the sicilian contemporary architecture
No full textArgomento del saggio è l’architettura che trova le ragioni della sua modernità nel concetto di luogo, considerato come materiale fondativo del progetto. Attraverso la nozione di luogo l’architettura esprime la sua identità: con l’individuazione e l’applicazione del principio di insediamento il progetto si confronta con le specificità dei luoghi.
Il saggio affronta questo tema nell’ambito della recente produzione architettonica in Sicilia, mettendo in risalto i modi con cui l’architettura costruisce le sue poetiche, facendo riferimento al carattere e alla memoria, alla storia e alle tradizioni, ai materiali ed alle tecniche della costruzione, i quali nel loro insieme, in riferimento ad un determinato ambito spaziale, contribuiscono ad esplicitare l'idea di luogo
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
