Los primeros pasos de Adamo Boari en la Arquitectura (1863-1889)
No full textThis chapter aims to analyze the cultural context in which the architect Adamo Boari was
formed. The period from 1863 to 1889 analyzes his training and the first professional
experiences prior to his departure on the American continent. The historical framework will
help the reader to learn about the economic and social situation of Ferrara at the end of the
19th century and the choices of many young people looking for new territories where to
experience their job expectations
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
El Teatro Nacional: la obra cumbre Adamo Boari en México
No full textThe National Theater in Mexico City was Adamo Boari’s most significant work. He dedicated
fifteen years of his professional life to building it, between 1901 and 1914. In this chapter,
different aspects of this building are analyzed, putting them in context both with the construction
of other theaters in Latin America, between Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica and in
Mexico. In these countries, the Italian architects, and engineers, and also many artists and
craftsman worked in many new constructions that were realized between the end of the XIX
century and early XX century. It explains the Boari’s original project and its characteristics.
This chapter also develops the perspective of urban planning associated with the construction
of this building. It also explains the problems in the foundation, the subsequent sink of
the structure and the solutions to avoid it
Revisitando el papel del templo en la ciudad: los grandes templos neogóticos del occidente de México
No full textEl trabajo que presentamos quiere analizar el papel de los grandes templos neogóticos construidos entre el siglo XIX y XX en la trama actual de algunas ciudades mexicanas, tomando como ejemplos de estudio el Templo Expiatorio del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús, en León, en el Estado de Guanajuato y el del templo de San José Obrero en Arandas en el Estado de Jalisco. Un papel destacado en su actual interrelación con la trama urbana y por el valor simbólico que los mismos tienen dada su monumentalidad y función para el culto religioso. Ambas son iglesias que quedaron inacabadas por causas políticas y económicas y que tras un largo proceso han sido concluidas incorporando las normas del Concilio Vaticano II, convirtiéndose en hitos urbanos con capacidad generar espacios de nueva centralidad para la ciudadanía
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
