Alle porte di Roma: il progetto di Gino Peressutti per Cinecittà (1935-1937)
No full textIl 29 gennaio 1936, Mussolini pone la prima pietra del nuovo centro industriale cinematografico di Roma. Con smaliziata regia, gli operatori dell’Istituto Luce eternano la fondazione della cittadella del cinema, battezzata con la «parola macedonia» Cinecittà. E un atto denso di significato che rende materiale e visibile il sostegno profuso alla produzione cinematografica nazionale dal Ministero Stampa e Propaganda. La storia è nota: a Luigi Freddi della Direzione Generale della Cinematografia si deve l’idea di una struttura di produzione organizzata sul modello degli studios americani, mentre Gino Peressutti è l’architetto incaricato di progettare una fabbrica del cinema capace combinare la creatività della settima arte con le regole dell’industria commerciale.
La costruzione di Cinecittà avviene a cavallo del 1936, anno significativo per la politica fascista internazionale, specie per la conquista di Addis Abeba e la proclamazione dell’Impero. Ora, l’architettura non deve più solo rappresentare un regime “consolidato e stabile”, ma essa è chiamata a materializzare l’immagine del nuovo Stato unitario. Schematizzando, la progettazione di Cinecittà avviene proprio nel passaggio tra la “modernità nazionale” dell’architettura della prima metà degli anni Trenta e la monumentalità celebrativa richiesta dall’Italia fascista divenuta, dal 1936, imperiale. In questo lungo dibattito sulla disciplina progettuale, come si inseriscono le scelte architettoniche di Peressutti per gli stabilimenti di Cinecittà? La loro semplificata espressione formale, priva di quei caratteri aulici dell’architettura rappresentativa che del potere autocratico è compiuta espressione, può essere stata dettata solo dall’intento di realizzare un complesso produttivo nella massima economia e in tempi rapidi? Il saggio vuole chiarire questi aspetti dell’impresa; soprattutto intende focalizzare la straordinaria novità dell’assetto distributivo di Cinecittà, ideato secondo i principi della moderna logistica, che, nelle aziende, regolano tutto il processo di lavorazione dall’inizio sino alla consegna dei prodotti finiti.The construction of the new cinema industrial center of Rome, named with the word “macedonia” Cinecittà, was at the turn of 1936: a significant years for international fascist policy. The project of Cinecittà represents the passage from the “national modernity” of the Early-Thirties Italian architecture to the celebrative monumentality for the Italian Empire founded in 1936.
How to place the design strategies of Peressutti in this context? The sober image of the complex represents only the economic reasons and the will of a rapid construction?
The essay focuses on those aspects, in particular on the innovative distributive scheme of Cinecittà, modeled on the principles of the modern logistics that rule the working process from the beginning to the delivery of the finished product
Io, insegnante di scuola dell’infanzia: motivazioni e soddisfazione lavorativa
No full text100 insegnanti di Scuola dell’Infanzia sono state intervistate su: 1) motivazioni in entrata e in itinere, 2) percezione dell’immagine sociale 3) percezione dei punti di forza/debolezza della professione, 4) fonti di soddisfazione/realizzazione lavorativa o di stress, burnout, coping, 5) motivazione alla formazione, 6) aspettative, obiettivi lavorativi. Le insegnanti dichiarano alta motivazione e involvement ma denunciano una rappresentazione sociale sminuente della professione. L’aspetto più importante e motivante del lavoro è la relazione con i bambini. Emergono differenze di motivazione alla formazione tra insegnanti di diversa età: le meno giovani sono più soddisfatte delle proposte formative attuali. Differenze emergono anche tra insegnanti di scuole diverse (paritarie vs statali) riguardo alle competenze che vengono loro richieste dalla scuola e dalle famiglie
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
