La vendita diretta: note sui clienti dei farmers' market di Milano
No full textReacting to industrialized food production, since the Sixties some movements constitutes themselves developing the so-called short supply chain. This one characterizes itself as a form of narrative, that builds cultural meanings, reproduced into consumption and sales practices. Starting from the embedded feature of these practices, narrative constructions and data gathered from participant observations at Milan farmers’ markets are critically analyzed. Focusing the attention on the interactions, it is analyzed the net of meanings that explains the act of consumption in these markets, that can be synthesized in the concept of critical consumption. Moreover, these places are perceived as opposed to the desocializing tendencies
L’«illustrissimo bastardo» di Casa d’Este: don Alfonso di Montecchio (1527-1587) : vicende di un principe malnoto, tra episodi di committenza artistica e strategie mecenatesche
No full textLo studio si prefigge lo scopo di riconsegnare dignità biografica e bibliografica ad una delle figure meno note della dinastia estense: don Alfonso di Montecchio, figlio del duca Alfonso I e Laura Dianti. Il ritrovamento e il successivo spoglio di uno sconosciuto fondo documentario, conservato presso l'Archivio di Stato di Modena, hanno consentito di tracciare un quadro di dati riguardanti la formazione del principe, le sue passioni nel campo delle arti, del collezionismo e dell'architettura tali da indurre a rielaborare con nuovi apporti ermeneutici il grado di giudizio formulato dagli studiosi circa le dinamiche culturali caratterizzanti la Ferrara ducale nell'ultimo cinquantennio del XVI secolo
Percezione, motivazione, esistenza. Intenzionalità e costituzione nella prima fenomenologia husserliana (1898-1921)
Full text linkThe present work is a systematic study of the nexus which holds together perception,
motivation and existence in Husserl’s early writings—precisely those which are dated
between 1898 and 1921. In Chapter I a historical and conceptual reconstruction of the
genesis of what is termed ‘constitution problem’ is provided. After a thorough discussion
about the distinction between real and intentional description, we elucidate the
method of phenomenological reduction and show how the constitution problem relates
to questions regarding transcendence and existence. Chapter II is concerned with a
detailed presentation of Husserlian phenomenology of visual perception. We present
Husserl’s theory of intentionality in the light of Husserlian mereology: first, we argue
that Husserl conceives of intentionality as a property which entails a relation; secondly,
we debate his critique of the theory of immanent objects and his solution to the
problem of non-existent objects. After examining the perceptual act in all its essential
components (i.e. quality, matter and sensations), we discuss the notorious ‘content –
apprehension’ schema and study the manuscripts in which Husserl develops the notion
of ‘perceptional’. Themes like the relationship between fulfillment and disappointment
and the distinguishability of veridical and non-veridical perceptions are also taken into
account. In Chapter III we consider what differentiates the outer perception from
other kinds of perception. After making clear what Husserl means by ‘inner perception’
we debate the opposition between immanent and transcendent perception, first by
using identity/manifold analysis and then by means of whole/part analysis. In this
context we reject Husserl’s account of reflection as a perceptual act on both exegetical
and theoretical grounds. Furthermore, we explain how Husserl tries to refute the
‘image theory’ and how he addresses the issue of the hidden profiles. The study of the
microstructure of the outer perception allows us to explain in which sense this kind of
perception is to be conceived as necessarily inadequate. Chapter IV is largely devoted
to an attempt at systematizing Husserl’s theory of kinaesthesia as it appears in the
Dingvorlesung. This sheds light on the structure of motivation and on the role which
this latter plays in the constitution of a mundane object. In Chapter V we scrutinize
Husserl’s conception of the possibility/reality dichotomy. In particular, we distinguish
an ontological analysis of possibility from a phenomenological one and investigate the
diverse concepts of ‘possibility’ (e.g. ideal, real, independent, modal) developed by
Husserl. Finally, we introduce and debate Husserl’s (so-called) ‘exhibition principle’
and try to point out its ambiguities
Monitoraggio dei flussi migratori nel Mar Mediterraneo con satelliti ottici e SAR
Full text linkIl Mediterraneo è sempre stato considerato un’area di intensi scambi politici, economici e culturali, ma nell’ultimo decennio è diventato anche luogo di intensi flussi migratori dal Nordafrica verso l’Europa. L’immigrazione illegale via mare ha ormai assunto una dimensione tale che nei soli primi due mesi del 2016 oltre 110.000 migranti hanno attraversato il Mediterraneo (fonte: UNHCR). Alla luce di questi numeri, in continua crescita, le istituzioni europee stanno cercando nuove soluzioni per rafforzare il monitoraggio dei confini esterni dell’Unione Europea. Tale operazione, che coinvolge un’area geografica molto estesa, risulta però complessa e costosa se svolta solamente con i mezzi tradizionali (radar di terra, mezzi aerei e navali). In questo contesto, il progetto Space Shepherd cofinanziato dal Politecnico di Milano nell’ambito del programma Polisocial Award, si è occupato dello studio di fattibilità di un sistema integrato ottico-radar per l’individuazione, il monitoraggio e il tracciamento d’imbarcazioni sconosciute in navigazione nel Mar Mediterraneo utilizzando asset speziali già esistenti (Topputo et al., 2015b). L’utilizzo congiunto d’immagini ottiche e radar è in grado di garantire un’osservazione continua e non dipendente dalle condizioni atmosferiche o di illuminazione e una complementarietà in termini di copertura geografica e dettaglio geometrico
Stereotipi di genere e vita quotidiana: una ricerca in sei università milanesi
No full textIl presente studio, promosso dal Centro di Ricerca Interuniversitario Culture di Genere, esplora la diffusione degli stereotipi e delle disuguaglianze di genere in relazione agli atteggiamenti e ai comportamenti quotidiani di studenti e studentesse di sei atenei milanesi
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
