Per una storia della Cassa per il Mezzogiorno nelle carte delle presidenze. L’intervento straordinario del secondo dopoguerra tra storia, politica e istituzioni (1950-1981).
No full textIl presente lavoro di ricerca indaga il ruolo della Cassa per il Mezzogiorno nel contesto politico e istituzionale italiano tra il 1950 e il 1981, analizzando le relazioni tra l’ente, i partiti, i tecnici, gli intellettuali e il nuovo meridionalismo. È stato possibile ricostruire come la Cassa sia stata al centro delle strategie di sviluppo per il Sud, risultando determinante nel relativo processo, e come si sia progressivamente evoluta fino alla crisi, culminata con la sua liquidazione, a causa, in particolare, dei rapporti di forza interni legati alle filiere politiche e alle classi dirigenti, della sua proiezione pubblica e del rapporto con i governi.
Attraverso l’analisi comparata di numerose fonti, la ricerca si articola in quattro capitoli che ripercorrono la storia dell’ente dalla sua istituzione fino al 1981, con particolare attenzione alla governance e all’influenza esercitata da partiti, istituzioni e dalla SVIMEZ. Sono state consultate fonti bibliografiche, materiali a stampa e i seguenti archivi storici: l’Archivio Centrale dello Stato (ACS) e gli Archivi dello Sviluppo Economico e Territoriale (ASET), l’Archivio Storico del Senato, l’Archivio dell’Istituto Sturzo, l’Archivio della SVIMEZ, l’Archivio della Fondazione Pastore, l’Archivio della Fondazione Gramsci e gli Historical Archives of the European Union.
È stato così possibile ricostruire la storia della Cassa attraverso le sue prime quattro presidenze - Ferdinando Rocco, Gabriele Pescatore, Alberto Servidio e Gaetano Cortesi - e gli equilibri che ne determinarono assetti e nomine, tenendo conto delle trasformazioni politiche, sociali ed economiche che influenzarono i rapporti tra DC, PSI e PCI, in particolare rispetto al posizionamento sul Mezzogiorno. La ricerca analizza inoltre le dinamiche conflittuali che, a partire dagli anni Settanta, condussero alla frammentazione politica, alla crescente instabilità dei governi, all’affermazione delle autonomie locali e al mutamento del contesto economico e istituzionale europeo, contribuendo al progressivo declino dell’intervento straordinario.
Il lavoro propone una nuova chiave di lettura della storia della Cassa per il Mezzogiorno, includendo in appendice una comparazione, in seguito ad alcuni mesi di ricerca presso l'University of Munster, tra il modello italiano di sviluppo del Sud e quello tedesco adottato dopo la caduta del Muro di Berlino, con la creazione, nel 1990, della Treuhandanstalt, l’ente incaricato della transizione economica e della privatizzazione delle imprese dell’ex Germania Est.This study examines the role of the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno within the Italian political and institutional context between 1950 and 1981, focusing on the relationships the agency developed with political parties, technical experts, intellectuals, and the renewed Southern Question. The research shows how the Fund was central to development strategies for Southern Italy, playing a key role in that process, and how it gradually entered a phase of crisis, ending in its liquidation, mainly due to internal power struggles, political networks, leadership dynamics, public perception, and changing relations with governments.
Based on a broad comparative analysis of sources, the study is structured into four chapters that trace the history of the Cassa from its creation to the 1981. Special attention is given to how the agency was governed and to the strong influence of political parties, institutions, and SVIMEZ. The research draws on books, printed material, and several key archives: the Central State Archive (ACS) and the Archives for Economic and Territorial Development (ASET), the Historical Archive of the Senate, the Archive of the Istituto Sturzo, the SVIMEZ Archive, the Pastore Foundation Archive, the Gramsci Foundation Archive, and the Historical Archives of the European Union.
The study reconstructs the agency’s history through its first four presidents - Ferdinando Rocco, Gabriele Pescatore, Alberto Servidio, and Gaetano Cortesi - highlighting the political balances that shaped the organization and the decisions behind key appointments. It also takes into account the political, social, and economic changes that influenced the relationships among the Christian Democrats (DC), the Socialist Party (PSI), and the Communist Party (PCI), particularly in relation to their stance on Southern development. The research also explores the conflicts that, starting in the 1970s, led to political fragmentation, increasing government instability, the rise of local autonomies, and a shifting European economic and institutional context—all contributing to the gradual decline of the extraordinary intervention.
The study offers a new and original interpretation of the history of the Cassa per il Mezzogiorno, and includes an appendix featuring a comparison, developed during a research period at the University of Münster, between the Italian model for Southern development and the German approach adopted after the fall of the Berlin Wall, specifically the establishment in 1990 of the Treuhandanstalt, the agency responsible for the economic transition and privatization of former East German state-owned enterprises
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
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
