Non solo Arte povera : riflessioni intorno alla Galleria L’Attico, tra Bruno e Fabio Sargentini
No full textThis paper was originally conceived as a speech for the conference Le mostre d’arte
moderna nelle gallerie private in Italia. I due decenni cruciali 1960-1980 (Pisa, Scuola Normale
Superiore, December 9-10, 2021). The research is the result of a project aiming to collect and
to analyze a wide range of exhibition catalogues relating to the art gallery L’Attico in Rome,
which experienced a complex and prestigious history through the years. Founded by Bruno
Sargentini in 1957, the gallery was then run by his son, Fabio Sargentini, who is still the owner
at present. Bruno and Fabio’s contributions to the gallery are often considered in contrast,
favoring an oppositional interpretation, even though a dialogue between their choices, a sort
of connection between father and son despite an undeniable generation gap, diverse cultural
backgrounds and artistic tastes, is sometimes possible (through a shared passion for
Surrealism, for instance). Working with catalogues and other items produced by the gallery in
almost three decades of activity represented a chance to shed light on some crucial points of
its history and legacy, identifying trends, levels of changes and continuity starting from the
artworks exposed and collected by the gallerists. In doing so, it has been possible to underline
some common threads which connect the work of some young artists operating in Rome
starting from 1966 to some older ones, generating an original collision and an international
melting pot between tradition and innovation
«Il fantastico attraverso una presenza “critica”» : Jannis Kounellis, Boogie-Woogie, 1971
No full textIn 1971 Jannis Kounellis imagined Boogie-Woogie, an action with donkeys disguised as
men. The action, envisaged to be performed on stage, never saw the light of day and was
consequently removed from the official body of work of the artist, then gradually forgotten.
Despite its unfortunate fate, some drawings and documents related to Kounellis’ project can
still be helpful at present to shed light upon Boogie-Woogie.
This paper focuses on this unperformed action, analyzing the supporting documentation
to understand the creative process behind it and its possible meanings. The aim is primarily
the will to reintegrate Boogie-Woogie into Kounellis’ corpus, paying particular attention to the
contemporary cultural context. The analysis of the project permits to point out some general
reflections on Kounellis’ works specifically conceived for theatre, underlining the continuity
between these outcomes and the works simultaneously presented in art galleries and in more
traditional contexts.
In addition, a wide range of possible sources for Boogie-Woogie are proposed and
discussed, trying to unveil its complex iconography and meanings. In doing so, the role of
Boogie-Woogie in Kounellis’ body of work would hopefully be clarified, just as the utmost
importance of some references, between theatre, painting, cinema etc., shaping a problematic
and challenging background context
"Interrogation sur l'Art pauvre": Le reazioni francesi all'Arte povera 1969-1981
Get PDFThis study aims to investigate the critical reception of Arte povera in France during the 1970s with a specific intention to shed light on the exchanges, influences, and reciprocal solicitations established between Italian and French artists.The critical reception of Arte povera in France has never been the focus of a systematic study, and the related bibliography has mainly considered the revival occurred during the 1980s. At the same time, the contemporary works of French artists have very rarely been treated with a comparative approach trying to reconsider them in relation to the contemporary international context. During the research, it was possible to discover new clues about the necessity of a comparative analysis between Italian and French art, either to specify the diffusion of Arte Povera in France from the late 1960s, or to reconsider the contemporary artistic approaches of certain French artists in the light of a broader international cultural context.La thèse aborde le sujet de la réception de l’Arte povera en France en se focalisant principalement sur la chronologie des années soixante-dix avec une volonté spécifique d’analyser les échanges, les influences, les sollicitations réciproques établies entre artistes italiens et français liés aux tendances processuelles et gestuelles. La réception de l’Art pauvre en France n’a jamais fait l’objet d’une étude systématique, et la bibliographie relative se concentre surtout sur le revival des années quatre-vingt. Parallèlement, les travaux des artistes français débutant entre les années soixante et soixante-dix ont très rarement été traités dans l’optique d’une mise en relation avec le contexte international contemporain. Pendant les recherches il a été possible de découvrir de nouvelles pistes à propos de la nécessité d’une analyse comparée entre l’art italien et l’art français visant soit à préciser la diffusion de l’Arte povera en France à partir de la fin des années soixante, soit à reconsidérer les démarches artistiques contemporaines de certains artistes français à la lumière d’un contexte culturel international plus élargi
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
