    Limitazioni dell'infanzia nelle distopie del primo Novecento

    No full text
    Di contro al definirsi di un'attenzione educativa nei confronti dell'infanzia, ad una pedagogia orientata a promuovere l'autonomia, la libertà, le personali capacità, anche in un'ottica antiautoritaria, e a definire modalità di intervento per un'azione compartecipata e democratica, le distopie del primo Novecento, fonte primaria del presente contributo, sono silenti testimoni di altri profili infantili quali esiti di contro modelli disumanizzanti contraddistinti da atroci condizionamenti in nome di un presunto necessario ordine social

    Pace, non violenza e antiautoritarismo. I nuclei del pensiero di Lamberto Borghi tra fondazioni teoriche e carte inedite

    No full text
    The contribution aims to investigate Lamberto Borghi's thematizations on peace, non-violence, and anti-authoritarianism. If these theoretical cores run transversally through the pedagogist's major theoretical works, it is interesting to discover, through the private perspective that emerges from the papers conserved in the INDIRE archive in Florence, how his interest in these themes engaged him in relations that went beyond the academic world. In particular, the relationship and correspondence that the author entertained with non-violent anarchist militants involved in dissemination work on these issues will be analyzed

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    The Symbolic Value of the Image as an Educational Tool in the Middle Ages

    No full text
    In this contribution we aim to analyze the symbolic dimension of the image in the social and cultural context of the Middle Ages, to find out whether it can be deemed as a pedagogical tool for explicit educational purposes. Images and symbols are central in the medieval period. From the conception of the Greek symbállō, which literally meant “that which is thrown or cast together”, the word symbol has gradually assumed a more representative meaning, in particular thanks to the reworkings of Neoplatonism and Christianity, which led the symbol – and the image – to mean “something which stands for something else”. If studies up to now have mainly focused on the shift from symbol to allegory, we will argue that symbols had an educational value in themselves because of their visual immediacy and without needing the filter of language. From miniatures and bestiaries to paintings and symbols, the medieval man lived in a world richly populated with art, whose meaning went way beyond appearances. This allowed not only the educated elites, but also the common and the ignorant, to grasp a deeper layer of reality that led to multiple semantic interpretations. Certainly, in the medieval world images and symbols were to be found outside formal educational institutions, as the medieval curriculum privileged the liberal arts and tended to leave the use of images, illustrations and symbols outside the purely educational sphere. By analyzing medieval iconographic sources, the purpose of this contribution is therefore to provide insight into the role of symbols and the visual arts in the daily education of the illiterate. Exploring the educational value of symbols can open up a new line of interpretation of its social and cultural dimensions. Our analysis will expand the scope of research on the history of education within the visual turn of the most recent years
