Vivere (e morire) da cardinale : l’«Inventario» dell’eredità e la sepoltura di Giovanni Morone (1580-81)
L’eretico che salvò la Chiesa : Il cardinale Giovanni Morone e le origini della Controriforma
Giovanni Morone (1509-80) ebbe un’esistenza in apparenza paradossale: due volte legato papale al concilio di Trento – che chiuse nel 1563 salvandolo dal fallimento cui pareva destinato – fu oggetto di gravi accuse di eresia sfociate in due processi inquisitoriali voluti dai papi-inquisitori del suo tempo, Paolo IV (che lo rinchiuse per oltre due anni in Castel Sant’Angelo) e Pio V. Solo la stima e l’appoggio dei sovrani asburgici (il re di Spagna Filippo II e l’imperatore Ferdinando I) gli permisero di sfuggire alla condanna e di tornare a tenere le redini dei principali avvenimenti coevi: dall’alleanza che portò alla battaglia di Lepanto alla crisi della repubblica di Genova. Impareggiabile diplomatico formatosi nella Milano degli Sforza, protagonista dei colloqui di religione nella Germania sconvolta da Lutero, amico di Vittoria Colonna e committente di Michelangelo, vescovo riformatore, Morone fu uomo di grande prestigio europeo, la cui memoria è stata tuttavia riproposta solo in chiave di esemplare prelato cattolico, rimuovendo i drammatici conflitti interni alla gerarchia ecclesiastica che segnarono la sua vita ed ebbero un peso decisivo nel delineare l’identità della Chiesa cattolica nella lunga età della Controriforma
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
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
Extending westward the loess basin between the Alps and the Mediterranean region : micromorphological evidences from the slope of the Ligurian Alps (Northern Italy)
A representative loess-paleosol sequence has been identified and studied by mineralogical and micromorphological analyses, in order to clarify its genesis, and to investigate-its palaeoclimatic significance in relation to the Quaternary climatic fluctuations in the Ligurian Alps. The his analysis also establishes a chronological succession of pedological and sedimentary events in order to interpret the environmental significance of each phase. The micromorphological evidences and mineralogical analyses, suggest a polygenetic origin for the profile. The profile res, fleets the influence of different processes acting on distinct parent material under different environmental conditions. In fact the deeper unit was produced by a strong pedogenetic phase, involving the bedrock parent material and leading to the development of a pedogenetic body showing characteristics like present day strongly weathered subtropical to tropical area soils (i.e. fersiallitic to ferrallitic soil), while from the upper units it is clear that multiple erosion-deposition events of material developed from loess blankets has taken place. These materials show features that are comparable to Lateglacial interstadial soils of the middle Europe, which were not erased by the present day pedogenesis. This analysis of the loess-palcosol sequences along the slope of the Ligurian Alps allows to extend our knowledge of the history of the loess sedimentation basin in the area between the Alps and the Mediterranean coast
A complex landslide along the Eastern Liguria rocky coast (Italy)
The paper presents the geological and geomorphological features of an ancient coastal mass movement occurred between Paraggi and Santa Margherita L., in the eastern sector of the Portofino Promontory (Liguria, Italy). It is a protected area with great landscape and environmental value within the Portofino Natural Park. The landslide, of historical significance and well known as "Frana delle Gave", occurred along a regional tectonic lineation, at the boundary between conglomerate and marly-limestone flysch formations, and has been affected in the last century by some reactivations. The landslide's recent evolution has been evaluated by the application of historical analysis and comparison of aerial photos, maps and rainfall data, as well as on the basis of a detailed geological and geomorphological survey of the entire landslide area and surrounding sectors, including the collection of data on drillings that were previously conducted in the area for engineering purposes. It was possible to zone the landslides in two main sectors: an upper sector of the active landslide has a complex genesis, that is affected by quick movements of rock fall and debris flow; a lower sector of the landslide, which is of older genesis, that is affected by extremely slow movements and thus does neither threaten the settlements of the area nor the communications routes to Portofino
