La polizia della Dogana di Foggia: il corpo dei "cavallari" tra Sei e Settecento,
No full textIl saggio si occupa del corpo dei “cavallari”, all’interno della complessa articolazione amministrativa della Dogana della mena delle pecore di Foggia. Costituito da trenta “ufficiali subalterni”, è incaricato della funzione importante di vigilanza sulle greggi transumanti, di governo dei conflitti potenziali tra i diversi interessi in gioco e di tutela delle prerogative del Fisco. I titolari effettivi dell’Ufficio spesso lo affittano ad altri soggetti, accusati spesso di malversazioni nei confronti di coloro che erano tenuti a difendere

I Capi di Compagnia di Mantova (secoli XV-XVIII)
No full textNel saggio si ricostruisce per la prima volta, sulla base di una documentazione interamente inedita, il ruolo e le funzioni dei Capi di compagnia sulla scena urbana di Mantova. Essi erano una ventina di cittadini di buona fama, fiduciari dei poteri pubblici, reclutati in base alla residenza, all’identità socio-famigliare, all’alfabetizzazione e alla moralità cristiana e per almeno quattro secoli svolsero funzioni di ispezione e di controllo degli abitanti delle contrade in cui abitavano. Particolarmente attivi nel settore igienico-sanitario, come fu evidente durante le pestilenze del 1576 e del 1630, i capi svolsero compiti diversi che oggi rientrerebbero nella sfera della polizia municipale, compresi quelli relativi ai censimenti demografici e alla polizia mortuaria. Nel secondo ‘700, tuttavia, questi tradizionali ispettori di quartiere apparvero ormai obsoleti e inefficienti agli occhi dei funzionari asburgici. I capi di compagnia, ridotti di numero e declassati nell’opinione comune, non sopravvissero alla fine dell’antico regime.The Capi di Compagnia of Mantua (15th-18th centuries)
This essay reconstructs for the first time, based on entirely unpublished documentation, the role and functions of The Capi di Compagnia in the urban scene of Mantua. They were about twenty citizens of good repute, trusted by the public authorities, recruited on the basis of their residence, socio-family identity, literacy, and Christian morality. For at least four centuries, they carried out inspection and control functions over the inhabitants of the neighborhoods in which they lived. Particularly active in the health and hygiene sector, as was evident during the plagues of 1576 and 1630, the Capi performed various tasks that today would fall within the sphere of the municipal police, including those relating to population censuses and mortuary police. In the second half of the 18th century, however, these traditional neighborhood inspectors appeared obsolete and inefficient in the eyes of Habsburg officials. The Capi di Compagnia, reduced in number and downgraded in public opinion, did not survive the end of the old regime
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
