La parenesi bellica nella storiografia greca: prassi allocutiva e procedure compositive
No full textNell’articolo vengono analizzate le principali questioni relative alle esortazioni ai soldati, soprattutto in relazione alle modalità pratiche di comunicazione e alla prassi di rielaborazione dei testi nelle opere storiografiche antiche. Attraverso l’analisi di alcune notazioni delle fonti in merito alle indicazioni realistiche di allocuzione alle truppe, al tema del phobos diffuso negli eserciti e alle specifiche doti richieste ai comandanti di esercito, si avanzano alcune osservazioni che giungono a posizioni in parte lontane da quelle di Mogens Herman Hansen, anche se non del tutto opposte. Lo studioso danese ritiene infatti che la maggior parte dei discorsi parenetici sia da ritenersi pura costruzione, sebbene autorevole, degli antichi: per l’eccessiva lunghezza e complessità dei periodi, non potevano essere udite dall’intero esercito schierato e nella trattatistica antica non vi sarebbe alcun cenno al genere delle battle exhortation. A tale proposito, saranno esaminati un brano della Retorica in cui Aristotele sembra teorizzare proprio il modello delle parenesi belliche e un’orazione di Timoleonte risalente a Timeo il cui testo sembra molto vicino a quella che poteva essere la realtà della pratica militare.
The article analyzes the main subjects of the ancient battle exhortations, especially the ways of communication and the practice of text’s reprocessing in the Greek historiography. Throughout the analysis of some fonts about the realistic suggestions of soldier’s keynote, as well as the popular theme of phobos in the army and the specific skills required to the commanders, we get to some observations that come from different opinions, but not so far from Mogens Herman Hansen’s point of view. The Dutch scholar thinks that most of the battle exhortations are a fictitious ancient reconstruction: the complexity and length of the sentences, in fact, couldn’t be heard from soldiers in the field and furthermore in rhetorical theory there is not any sign of the battle exhortation. For this reason it will be analyzed a text of Aristotele’s Rhetorica, in which the Author seems to theorize the pattern of battle exhortation, and a speech of Timoleon, written by Timaeus and reported by Polybius, whose text seems to be very close to the real military practice.

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
Guerra e diplomazia tra Atene e Siracusa nel V secolo a.C.
No full textAttraverso l’esame di testimonianze letterarie provenienti dall’Erissia pseudo-platonica, da un’orazione di Andocide e dalla Biblioteca storica di Diodoro Siculo, si intende ricostruire un quadro generale delle relazioni diplomatiche tra Atene e Siracusa nel corso del V secolo a. C. Si esamineranno alcuni slogan ideologici, presenti anche nelle pagine tucididee, utilizzati in riferimento ai rapporti intrapoleici: homoiotropia, philia e symmachia
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
