L’incoerenza creativa nella narrativa francese contemporanea, M. Majorano (dir.)
Full text linkL’incoerenza? «Un talismano contro la sorte» e una «risorsa per il romanzo». Questa la chiave di lettura che apre la miscellanea sul «disordine», stilistico e strutturale, che sembra aver invaso la narrativa francese contemporanea. «Entrare in un romanzo è come entrare in un edificio ignoto», scrive M. Majorano nel saggio introduttivo (L’incoerenza e la letteratura, pp. 9-25). Con Perec, lo studioso raccomanda «precauzione» e «spirito di osservazione» di fronte alle «sgrammaticature» dell’aut..
Word recognition in Italian infants: A longitudinal study.
No full textThis is the preliminary study of a larger longitudinal analysis on speech perception in Italian infants. The study involved 30 (16 males and 14 females) monolingual Italian infants. For the purposes of the present study four series of 11 bisyllabic words were developed by means of databases for the Italian language: two lists were composed of familiar words and two lists were composed of rare words. Infants were tested at nine and eleven months of age with the head-turn procedure. The Italian version of CDI was also administered to all the families. Preliminary results indicated that infants showed significantly longer head-turns with familiar words F(1, 15) = 7.42; p = 0.05. Results revealed the ability of Italian children to distinguish familiar from rare words at 11 months of age
La scuola che accoglie le famiglie per il benessere dei bambini.
No full textNegli ultimi anni sempre maggiore attenzione è stata rivolta dai contesti educativi, in particolare il nido e le scuole dell’infanzia, alla promozione del benessere dei bambini e delle loro famiglie. In questa prospettiva appare cruciale il concetto di accoglienza, inteso sia come stile educativo sia come obiettivo dei servizi educativi. Una scuola che accoglie permette un sereno inserimento delle famiglie nei servizi per l’infanzia, favorisce la costruzione di significati sociali ed affettivi condivisi, consente di creare uno spazio entro cui riconoscere e distinguere l’identità di ciascuno: genitori, bambini ed educatori. In un’ottica secondo la quale l’identità è il prodotto di processi di separazione, di connessione e di acquisizione di competenze, gli educatori devono essere invitati a riflettere sul significato che alcuni momenti della giornata al nido (accoglienza del bambino al mattino e ricongiungimento col genitore, al pomeriggio) possono assumere per costruire insieme ai genitori una rappresentazione di nido come spazio abitato, in cui cioè sentirsi accolti e stare bene. In questa direzione, un’esperienza formativa basata sull’osservazione e sulla riflessione in gruppo, proposta agli educatori di nido, viene presentata e commentata
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
