Autodialogue sur le Roms
No full textIl testo racconta in forma di dialogo la complessa esperienza di Stalker nell’universo nomade a Roma. Dai primi approcci degli anni novanta, passando per le esperienze di campo Boario, si attraversano i momenti salienti degli ultimi anni anche attraverso una fruttuosa collaborazione con il DIPSU in un continuo scambio tra ricerca, didattica e comunicazione pubblica, attraverso diversi corsi universitari presso la Facoltà di Architettura di Roma Tre, workshop internazionali, azioni di arte pubblica di Stalker/ON, pubblicazioni e presentazioni a convegni e mostre nazionali ed internazionali. Una ricerca sul campo prima sulle baraccopoli informali, in particolare lungo il fiume Tevere, in seguito rivolta ai campi nomadi presenti a Roma e, nel luglio 2008 alla realizzazione di Savorengo Ker – la casa di tutti, realizzata insieme ai Rom del campo Casilino 900 attraverso un processo di autocostruzione assistita e presentata alla Triennale di Milano alla Quadriennale di Roma e alla Biennale di Venezia.
Stalker e I Grandi Giochi del Campo Boario
No full textDopo gli anni passati di esplorazione dei Territori Attuali, stalker nel 1999 comincia un lavoro di interazione con la natura di questi spazi e con i suoi abitanti. Passa da una fase di osservazione e di ascolto ad una assunzione di responsabilità nei confronti della loro trasformazione, alla ricerca di una possibile modalità di prendersene cura e di partecipare alle loro mutazioni spontanee. Il laboratorio di questa nuova esperienza è il Campo Boario dell’ex mattatoio di Testaccio, a Roma, in cui il sedimentarsi del tempo e l’assenza di progetto hanno prodotto un esempio di auto-organizzazione e di convivenza tra diverse culture assolutamente inedito. In un grande piazzale stazionano per quasi tutto l’anno le rulottes dei Rom Calderasha, nomadi italiani specializzati nella lavorazione dei metalli e che risultano presenti in questa zona fin dal 1500; un lungo bordo contenente le stalle è stato occupato dai cavallari, i conduttori dalle carrozze che portano in giro i turisti, e dai loro circa trecento cavalli; in un altro bordo c’è il Villaggio Globale, uno dei centri sociali occupati autogestiti più noti a Roma per quanto riguarda le attività interculturali e in generale la cultura antagonista; il resto dello spazio è abitato da diverse comunità straniere in gran parte di senegalesi e nordafricani, da italiani senza fissa dimora, e da tutto ciò che non riesce a farsi spazio altrove. Il risultato é uno strano universo cosmopolita e multiculturale che abita quella Roma infangata e surreale dei film di Pasolini e di Fellini e che mai ci si immaginerebbe di trovare al centro della moderna Roma Turistica. -After exploring for a few years the Actual Territories, in 1999 Stalker – Urban art lab has begun to interact with the nature of spaces and with their inhabitants in a more structured way. The work has developed through a phase of observation and listening, which has brought to the assumption of responsibility towards the transformations of these spaces, carrying on a research to develop methods and operative tools to take care and partecipate to the spontanous transformations which characterize them. This new experience has been carried out in Campo Boario in the premises of Testaccio’s ex-slaughter-house in Rome. Here the sedimentation of time and the absence of any kind of design project have made this area an example of self-organisation and cohabitation of different cultures. In this large space, the caravans of the Rome Calderasha community are settled for almost the entire year. The Rom Calderasha are an Italian nomad community, specialised in working raw metals , and they have been present in the area since 1500; the stables have been occupied by the cavallari and their three hundred horses, the conductors of the horse carriages which permit tourists to have a different perspective of the city of Rome; on the opposite side there is Villaggio Globale, the most famous roman social centre, which has been occupied and self-managed and in which intercultural activities take place during the year; other parts of the space are inhabited by different foreign communities, especially from Senegal and north Africa, by Italian homeless men and women, and by anyone who cannot find a place somewhere else. The result is a strange cosmopolitan and multicultural universe which lives in the surreal city of Pasolini and Fellini, a universe which no one would imagine to find in the centre of the modern Touristic Rome.
Roma, una città senza case, un popolo senza terra

Postfazione
No full textThis is a brief reflection on the activism of the Stalker/Osservatorio Nomade group aimed at the Roma of "Casilino 900", with the construction of the Savorengo Ker (everyone's house) as a concrete exercise in participatory research. The social sciences must recover their artisanal status, at a distance from the "artistic" or "scientific" conceptions of our work
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
