La sfida dei diritti. Prospettive critiche interdisciplinari sull'infanzia e l'adolescenza
No full textIl volume raccoglie gli interventi presentati alla giornata di studi organizzata presso l'Università di Parma, in occasione del trentesimo anniversario della Convenzione ONU per i diritti dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza. Oltre ogni intento puramente celebrativo, il testo ha il pregio d'illustrare una varietà di prospettive multidisciplinari, da quella storica, pedagogica e sociologica a quella giuridica e geografica. Sguardi prettamente interdisciplinari s'intrecciano quindi a testimonianze dirette ed esperienze sul campo. La contaminazione tra i diversi linguaggi, le prospettive teorico-metodologiche, i contesti educativi e gli ambiti scientifico-disciplinari favorisce così la fruizione da parte di un pubblico non solo accademico e non interessato unicamente alla rivendicazione di appartenenze a campi epistemologici particolari. Tale varietà culturale e scientifica lascia infatti spazio a una vivace pluralità di dati e riflessioni sul tema, contribuendo a un dialogo fecondo e problematizzante sui diritti dell'infanzia e dell'adolescenza e alla possibilità, dunque, di favorire progressivamente la loro più piena e autentica attuazione o, almeno, una prospettiva critico-riflessiva che ne renda visibili gli impliciti e le contraddizioni, i limiti e le potenzialità di sviluppo
It interferes wrongly, and in the wrong place (J. S. Mill, On Liberty). Human Freedom and the Conundrum of Schooling in Liberalism and Literary Representation.
No full textThis volume contains papers presented in the First International Conference of the Journal “Scuola Democratica” which took place at the University of Cagliari on 5-8 June 2019. The aim of the Conference was to bring together researchers, decision makers and educators from all around the world to investigate the concepts of “education” in a “post-democracy” era, the latter being a set of conditions under which scholars are called to face and counteract new forms of authoritarian democracy.
Populisms, racisms, discriminations and nationalisms have burst and spread on the international scene, translated and mobilized by sovereigntist political movements. Nourished by neo-liberalism and inflated by technocratic systems of governance these regressive forms of post-democracy are shaping historical challenges to the realms of education and culture: it is on this ground, and not only on the political and economic spheres, that decisive issues are at stake

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
Japanese manners through the eyes of a late-Renaissance Jesuit: Alessandro Valignano’s Advertimentos (1583).
No full textThe paper examines Alessandro Valignano’s Advertimentos e avisos acerca dos costumes e catangues de Jappao (“Warnings and notices about the customs and manners of Japan”, 1583), a manual that provides directives for Jesuit missionaries in Japan. The work comprises a list of guidelines to behave in every public and domestic situation “in the Japanese way”, since the author believed this was a chance for Jesuit missionaries to be taken seriously by Japanese people and, therefore, convert them to Christianity. The Advertimentos serves as a critical resource for Jesuit adaptation, revealing Valignano’s commitment to understanding and integrating into Japanese culture while navigating the complexities of cross-cultural interactions within the Jesuit mission. In this context, Valignano’s observations on good manners and gestures of social relationships are particularly highlighted, as they are among the first direct testimonies of how the Catholic European culture of the late Renaissance perceived Japanese culture during the Tokugawa era
