Geopolitiche mediterranee tra monoteismi e reinterpretazioni storiografiche: il pensiero di Mohamed Talbi
No full textIl presente lavoro di ricerca, nel prendere in esame il pensiero politico di Mohamed Talbi, fautore di un modello di Islam contemporaneo che, nell’universo degli innumerevoli Islam, si contraddistingue per la propensione al dialogo e all’apertura con le culture altre, intende intrecciare il contributo dell’autore con la storia del Maghreb, humus nel quale questo pensiero nasce e affonda le proprie radici. Un’argomentazione così sviluppata riconoscendo la rilevanza del ruolo del passato nella definizione del presente dell’Islam nel tentativo di fornire una cornice storica alla prospettiva religiosa, culturale e politologica proposta da Talbi.
La poco sviluppata tradizione storiografica araba del Maghreb contemporaneo e, al tempo stesso, la necessità di individuare un'interpretazione non contaminata dalla lente occidentale che permetta di coniugare la riflessione sull’Islam religione all’interno della cornice della società islamica, in particolare maghrebina, hanno condotto alla disamina del periodo storico inaugurato dal colonialismo europeo.
Nella prima parte della ricerca, dal punto di vista metodologico, si è ritenuto opportuno concentrare l’attenzione su autori appartenenti al mondo maghrebino, includendo i più significativi contributi di una letteratura che si pone al confine tra la matrice non occidentale e le influenze del mondo occidentale.
Nell’analisi delle interpretazioni storiche del periodo preso in considerazione, dagli anni del colonialismo agli albori delle indipendenze negli Stati dell’area maghrebina, in Marocco, Algeria e Tunisia, sono stati individuati studi e fonti che hanno contribuito in maniera rilevante all’opera di decostruzione della storia di stampo coloniale. Attenzione particolare è stata riservata alla produzione scientifica di Abdallah Laroui e all’opera pubblicata nel 1970 dal titolo "L’histoire du Maghreb: un essai de synthèse", nel quale viene avviata una decostruzione della storiografia coloniale. L’excursus storico contribuisce a fornire strumenti per comprendere le radici della grave crisi identitaria del Maghreb e dell’Islam e del rapporto nei confronti di un Occidente percepito quale entità fautrice di istanze riformiste spesso interpretate come imposizioni esterne.
Nella seconda parte l'analisi storica si intreccia con il pensiero di Mohamed Talbi e con il contributo fornito per lo sviluppo di un nuovo pensiero islamico contemporaneo che coniuga la sacralità del Corano con le esigenze del mondo attuale attraverso l’abbandono di un’interpretazione letterale dei testi e l’adozione di una discrezionalità che tenga conto delle specifiche circostanze temporali nel rispetto della parola divina. Un’ottica di universalità del messaggio del Corano attraverso un’esegesi che lo stesso autore definisce “finalista”. Dalla reinterpretazione delle fonti islamiche al dialogo islamo-cristiano tra le due sponde del Mediterraneo, passando per l’estirpazione degli estremismi violenti e per il diritto alla libertà di coscienza, Talbi elabora un paradigma che si pone l'obiettivo di liberarci da tutti quei sedimenti nascosti che ci impediscono di fondare le nostre società sul dialogo e sul mutuo rispetto al di là di ogni peculiarità religiosa e culturale.This research work, in examining the political thought of Mohamed Talbi, proponent of a model of contemporary Islam that, in the universe of countless Islam, is characterized by its propensity for dialogue and openness with other cultures, aims to combine the author's contribution with the history of the Maghrib, the humus in which this thought is born and has its roots. An argument developed recognizing the importance of the role of the past in defining the present of Islam in an attempt to provide a historical framework to the religious, cultural and political perspective proposed by Talbi.
The underdeveloped Arab historiographical tradition of the contemporary Maghreb and, at the same time, the need to identify an interpretation not contaminated by the Western lens that allows to combine the reflection on Islam religion within the framework of Islamic society, have led to the examination of the historical period opened by European colonialism.
In the first part of the research, from a methodological point of view, it was considered appropriate to focus attention on authors belonging to the Maghrib area, including the most significant contributions of a literature that stands on the border between the non-Western matrix and the influences of the Western world.
In the analysis of the historical interpretations of the period taken in consideration, from the years of colonialism to the dawn of independence in the states of the Maghrib area, in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, it have been identified studies and sources that contributed to the work of deconstruction. Particular attention was dedicated to the scientific production of Abdallah Laroui and to the work published in 1970 entitled "L’histoire du Maghreb: un essai de synthèse", in which a deconstruction of colonial historiography is initiated. The historical excursus contributes to providing tools for understanding the roots of the serious identity crisis in the Maghrib and Islam and the relationship between a West perceived as an entity that promotes reformist demands often interpreted as external impositions.
In the second part, the historical analysis is intertwined with the thought of Mohamed Talbi and with the contribution for the development of a new contemporary Islamic thought that combines the sacredness of the Quran with the needs of the current world through the abandonment of a literal interpretation and the adoption of a discretion that takes into consideration the specific temporal circumstances in respect of the divine word. A view of universality of the message of the Quran through an exegesis that the author defines as "finalist". From the reinterpretation of Islamic sources to the Islamic-Christian dialogue between the two shores of the Mediterranean, passing through the eradication of violent extremisms and the right to freedom of conscience, Talbi elaborates a paradigm that aims to free us from all those hidden sediments that prevent from founding our societies on dialogue and mutual respect beyond any religious and cultural peculiarity
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

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
