HAFRIAT #1 FAVIGNANA. PRIMA DELL'ARCHITETTURA
No full textQuesto libro raccoglie i primi risultati di Hafriat, una ricerca sulle architetture dei paesaggi di cava condotta da Giuseppe Marsala presso il Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università degli studi di Palermo. La ricerca ha adottato come campo di osservazione e sperimentazione alcuni siti della Sicilia e in particolare il libro indaga l’architettura della città di Favignana le cui cave di tufo costituiscono orma fondativa e antefatto architettonico. Una permanenza in grado di segnare nel tempo i principi insediativi delle residenze e di orientare anche le possibili trasformazioni future. Il volume si collega ad altre ricerche sul tema e propone un regesto antologico critico, pubblicando anche gli esiti delle sperimentazioni progettuali elaborate all’interno di laboratori didattici: il Laboratorio 1 di Progettazione Architettonica, il Laboratorio di Arte dei Giardini e Architettura del paesaggio e il Laboratorio di Laurea Paesaggi cavi, condotti presso il Corso di Studi in Architettura dello stesso Dipartimento.
Molte di queste sperimentazioni sono state sviluppate all’interno di Incipit Lab, il Coordinamento Nazionale dei Laboratori di Progettazione Architettonica del I° anno, ideato, organizzato e diretto da Andrea Sciascia e dal Dipartimento di Architettura dell’Università di Palermo.
Il lavoro si è avvale del contributo scientifico di Stefano Cioffi – fotografo, artista e docente di Fotografia del Paesaggio presso il Master di Architettura e Rappresentazione del Paesaggio dell’Università Roma 3 - le cui fotografie costituiscono una importante sezione del libro. Testo, tra i testi scritti e disegnati, il lavoro fotografico di Stefano Cioffi, vede queste architetture prima dell’architettura, inscrivendole nelle impassibili forme del tempo, attraversate dalle metamorfosi di cui il tempo stesso è portatore.This essay describes the transformations of the coast of Palermo intended as a paradigm of its processes of physical, social and anthropological mutation of the 1900s. Processes that have seen large portions of the city and its geography transform into a very short time and that have required the elaboration of new critical categories able to interpret its present and its possible future directions. The geographical extent, the intensive nature, the time compression and the brutal dynamics of these changes may enable us to compare them with the effects that territories may suffer as a result of natural events or disasters. They were, however, the results of the subcultural expression that the city has experienced for fifty years, since the post-war period, of the men who have misgoverned it, often complicit in illicit and criminal business and speculative systems. It is up to today's society, the generation of new administrators and the most sensitive and innovative architectural and urban culture to find, in the same territories, the subjects for their physical, environmental and social regeneration. The essay analyzes the urban and architectural contexts that mark the Palermo coast for over 20 km, proposing regeneration hypotheses elaborated within the Palermo Knowlwdge City research _ Architectures of Postproduction, a research laboratory that feeds on studies conducted together with undergraduates, PhD students and young architects of the Department of Architecture of the University of Palermo. The results of these studies, some already published others during publication, adopt the architectural project as an analytical-cognitive tool, an act of research and investigation, acted in an abduttive and circumstantial form

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
