L'uso Politico dello Sport in Italia nel Secondo Dopoguerra (1945-1960)
No full textL’uso politico dello sport in Italia nel secondo dopoguerra: 1945 – 1960
Abstract
Lo sport è divenuto un argomento di interesse storico, sociologico e scientifico in Italia, solo a partire dalla seconda metà degli anni Settanta. Gli studi compiuti in ambito nazionale sull’argomento hanno, però, spesso tralasciato il rapporto tra lo sport e i partiti politici, con l’unica eccezione del periodo fascista. La tesi si pone l’obiettivo di dimostrare come alcune funzioni dello sport siano perdurate nel corso della storia e siano giunte anche nell’Italia del secondo dopoguerra: la cura e l’educazione dei giovani; la propaganda di idee politiche e la nazionalizzazione delle masse; il proselitismo tra i giovani per avvicinarli alle proprie idee politiche.
L’analisi verte su due aspetti fondamentali. In primo luogo l’uso politico dello sport nelle istituzioni. In secondo luogo l’uso politico dello sport dei due principali partiti politici italiani del dopoguerra, la Democrazia cristiana e il Partito comunista italiano.
Sul primo punto l’analisi inizia dal 1943 e dall’evoluzione politico-storica del Comitato Olimpico Nazione Italia (Coni) con l’obiettivo di comprendere se ci sia stata continuità tra fascismo e post-fascismo non solo in termini di uomini ma anche di visione dello sport. Sono altrettanto importanti anche i rapporti che si creano nel corso del quinquennio 1943-1948 tra le istituzioni politiche e quelle sportive, soprattutto tra il Governo e il Coni.
Sul secondo punto, l’analisi parte dalla concezione dello sport per il Partito Comunista italiano e per la Democrazia cristiana e il mondo cattolico.
L’impostazione sportiva del Pci voleva ricalcare quella dei Paesi a socialismo reale in cui lo sport era considerato un valido strumento per la costruzione dell’uomo nuovo. Inoltre, in continuità con la linea politica della via italiana al socialismo togliattiana, la politica del Pci si incentrò sulla democratizzazione del Coni e l’acquisizione di ruoli chiavi in seno alle Federazioni sportive e al Coni stesso. Per propagandare la propria idea di sport il Pci fece uso di un’organizzazione collaterale, l’Unione Italiana Sport Popolare (UISP) che doveva diffondere il nuovo ideale di sport ed essere un’interlocutrice privilegiata con il Coni.
La Democrazia cristiana, forte di una tradizione storica che si rifaceva alle idee di padre Semeria e di Luigi Gedda oltre che della nuova dottrina sociale nata con la Rerum novarum, si dotò anch’essa di una propria propaggine sportiva, il Centro nazionale sportivo Libertas che risultò utilissimo tanto nell’opera di proselitismo dei giovani nelle città più piccole, quanto come strumento di propaganda elettorale durante le elezioni locali e nazionali.
Obiettivo della tesi è, dunque, inserire la politica dei due principali partiti italiani del secondo dopoguerra all’interno della più complessa politica sportiva istituzionale e indagare come la Democrazia cristiana e il Partito comunista italiano abbiano usato lo sport per avvicinarsi alle masse, per propagandare la propria idea di sport e non solo, per educare i giovani e per creare consenso.
Il presente lavoro si avvale della documentazione conservata presso l’Archivio centrale di Stato, l’Archivio del Comitato olimpico nazionale, l’Archivio del Partito comunista italiano, l’Archivio dell’Unione italiana sport popolare, l’Archivio della Democrazia cristiana, l’Archivio di Giulio Andreotti, l’Archivio della Presidenza del consiglio dei ministri e l’Archivio della Cgil. Inoltre sono stati fondamentali i lavori fatti in emeroteca consultando soprattutto i giornali di partito del Pci e della Dc, L’Unità e i Il Popolo, Il Corriere della sera, La Stampa e alcune riviste come Il Discobolo, Vie Nuove e Nuovi Argomenti.
La tesi apporta un contributo originale al dibattito scientifico interno alla storia sociale del secondo dopoguerra e alla storia dello sport. Per la prima volta vengono analizzati gli archivi centrali dei partiti comunista e democristiano per studiarne il rapporto con il mondo sportivo, inserito nel più ampio mondo del tempo libero
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.
