Drawing Tradition: Malvasia, Alfonso Lombardi, and the Use of Models in Bologna
No full textIn 1519 Alfonso Lombardi (c. 1497-1537) realised a monumental group in terracotta for the oratory of Santa Maria della Vita in Bologna. According to Carlo Cesare Malvasia (1686), Lombardi's sculptures were cast and reproduced, so that Bolognese painters could use them as a models in their workshops. An overlooked series of drawings from several museums (Florence, Chicago, Haarlem, London and New York) confirm Malvasia's words. These sheets demonstrate that Lombardi's sculptures circulated in Bolognese workshops from the sixteenth century to the nineteenth century. Celebrated painters such as Bartolomeo Passerotti, Pellegrino Tibaldi, Guido Reni and Donati Creti used Lombardi's three-dimensional creations as drawing models. The rediscovery of such an artistic practice based on sculpture challenges the historiographical tradition of Bolognese art dominated by its school of famous painters

Per i busti ritratto in marmo di Alfonso Lombardi (con una proposta per il perduto Carlo V e una lettera del cardinale Innocenzo Cibo
No full textAmong the many marble portrait busts executed by the Ferrarese sculptor Alfonso Lombardi (c. 1497 - 1537), Giorgio Vasari mentions only four in his biography of the artist: the portraits of Giuliano de’ Medici, Duke of Nemours and Pope Clement VII, now both in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, and two versions of the bust of Charles V, considered lost. The article seeks to retrace the physical history of these four objects, from their genesis to how they were collected. Thanks to a new photographic campaign, a thorough analysis of the Palazzo Vecchio busts can now be made. Viewed from the side, the bust of Giuliano is revealed as a faithful derivation from a medal produced in Rome in 1513. The bust of Clement VII shows that it was conceived in stylistic dialogue with portraits of the pontiff by other artists at the Papal Court: Sebastiano del Piombo, Benvenuto Cellini and Giovanni Bernardi. The second part of the article hypothesises that the lost bust of Charles V carved by Lombardi in 1533 was a portrait in armour. The sculptor’s correspondence reveals that a second version of this bust was made in the same year for Alessandro de’ Medici, Duke of Florence: once owned by Cardinal Innocenzo Cibo, this can be identified as the fragmentary sculpture now housed in the fortress in Massa
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
