La carta geografica come veicolo dell’“Idea d’Italia” nel periodo risorgimentale
No full textMalgrado i numerosi studi che hanno sottolineato il complesso rapporto che lega la rappresentazione cartografica ed il potere politico incarnato dalle istituzioni statali, ancora sfumate appaiono le relazioni esistenti tra carte ed identità nazionali. Prendendo le mosse dall’analisi della produzione cartografica italiana del periodo precedente ed immediatamente successivo all’Unità d’Italia, questo lavoro cerca di indagare sulle modalità attraverso le quali le rappresentazioni hanno saputo esprimere quel nuovo nesso Stato-territorio mediato dalla sovranità nazionale, delimitando un “confine naturale” in grado di racchiudere lo spazio e l’identità della nazione. Il confronto tra “carte patriottiche” e “carte nazionalistiche” - così come alcune riflessioni sulla questione della ripartizione regionale emersa all’indomani dell’indipendenza - consente di poter trarre alcune considerazioni circa la funzione ordinativa della carta, ossia in merito alla sua capacità di esprimere un potere che può manifestarsi solo laddove l’immagine rifletta le istanze identitarie.
Despite theDespite the vast research carried out on the complex relation which connects cartographic representation and the political power of the State, still rather vague appears the link between maps and national identities. Starting from the analysis of the Italian cartographic production realized immediately before and after the national unity attainment, this paper aims to look into the ways by which representations have been able to express the new State-territory connection mediated by national sovereignty. Such maps seem to focus primarily on the delimitation of a “natural boundary” which includes both national space and identity. The comparison between “patriotic maps” and “nationalistic maps” - as well as brief remarks about the regionalization issue raised the day after Italy independence – permits to draw some considerations about the ordering function and the power of maps as the emergence of images that reflect identity aspirations
Il discorso della nazione in Italia dal Risorgimento al Fascismo attraverso le carte geografiche
No full textL’obiettivo di questo lavoro consiste nel ricostruire il ruolo che l’immagine cartografica ha rivestito nel processo di affermazione e sviluppo dell’identità nazionale italiana, dal Risorgimento al Fascismo. L’analisi proposta applica alla carta geografica il paradigma foucaultiano di dispositivo inteso come apparato del discorso, cioè non strumento di conoscenza, ma procedura che ne definisce la strutturazione; in quanto tale espressione di un potere che stabilisce la propria affermazione e riproduzione, individuando soglie di esclusione e inclusione, così da regolare la realtà assorbendone ogni elementoThe goal of this work is to reconstruct the role that the mapping image has played in the process of affirmation and development of the national identity of Italy, from the Risorgimento to Fascism. The proposed analysis applies to the map the Foucaultian paradigm of "device", intended as an apparatus of speech; it is not an instrument of knowledge, but the procedure that defines the structure; as such, it is an expression of a power that establishes its affirmation and reproduction, identifying thresholds of exclusion and inclusion, so as to adjust the reality absorbing every elemen
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
