INTERACTIVE THEATRE AND SCIENCE COMMUNICATION
Full text linkPer evitare gli errori del passato e per rendere più efficace la comunicazione pubblica della scienza in termini di radicamento nella società di una mentalità scientifica, occorre credere nella possibilità di una co-costruzione della conoscenza insieme con i cittadini. Il rapporto fra scienza e società si realizza oggi in un’azione comunicativa più egualitaria di quella che era sottesa al concetto di divulgazione scientifica, grazie a un nuovo strumento, il coinvolgimento attivo e il rapporto diretto tra scienziati e cittadini, per una formazione democratica di entrambi. Una possibile forma di dialogo costruttivo tra scienziati e cittadini è il teatro, che da molto tempo si presta al coinvolgimento del pubblico e a performance in cui gli spettatori sono chiamati a pensare, partecipare e prendere decisioni, diventando anche occasione di cambiamento personale e sociale. Abbiamo sperimentato una performance interattiva durante la Notte dei ricercatori 2022 a Bologna, dove gli spettatori erano chiamati a prendere decisioni, intervenendo fisicamente e assumendosi la responsabilità di determinare il corso della narrazione. Tramite le interviste finali abbiamo saputo che l’avere un ruolo attivo nella performance teatrale ha contribuito ad aumentare l’attenzione, a sollecitare la riflessività e in generale a sensibilizzare riguardo all’argomento trattato.To avoid the mistakes of the past and to make the public communication of science more effective in terms of anchoring a scientific mentality in society, it is necessary to believe in the possibility of a co-construction of knowledge together with citizens. The relationship between science and society is realized today in a communicative action that is more egalitarian than the one underlying the concept of scientific dissemination, thanks to a new tool, the active involvement and direct relationship between scientists and citizens, for a democratic education of both. A possible form of constructive dialogue between scientists and citizens is theater, which for a long time has lent itself to the involvement of the public and performances in which spectators are called to think, participate, and make decisions, also becoming an opportunity for personal and social change. We experienced an interactive performance during European Researchers' Night 2022 in Bologna, where viewers were called upon to make decisions, physically intervening and taking responsibility for determining the course of the narrative. Through the final interviews we learned that having an active role in the theatrical performance has helped to increase attention, to solicit reflexivity and in general to raise awareness of the subject matter
Heritage education and media literacy : analysis of digitization practices = Educazione al patrimonio e media literacy : analisi di pratiche di digitalizzazione
No full textLo sguardo discreto: la riproduzione digitale tra opacità e trasparenza
No full textNell'era del digitale lo studioso si trova – per dirla con Michel Serres – a rivivere il miracolo di san Dionigi: come il santo, lo storico dell'arte porta la "testa" sottobraccio. Con i debiti distinguo, infatti, il computer è una "testa" esterna, dotata di una memoria infinitamente più potente di quella dell'essere uomo. Nella storia della cultura visiva il medium fotografico è strettamente connesso alla nascita della Bildwissenschaft, tanto da poter affermare che per lo sviluppo della disciplina sono stati determinanti i progressi della riproducibilità tecnica. Oggi, con le nuove conquiste tecnologiche, dove la dislocazione e la dematerializzazione delle immagini digitali comporta una visione sempre più precisa e dettagliata, l'utente digitale può accedere a una gamma infinitamente superiore di informazioni. Ma questa continua e progressiva ri-mediazione dell'opera d'arte – dalla storica riproduzione fotografica all'attuale e alla futura immagine digitale – se da un lato rende sempre più intelleggibili i testi visivi, dall'altra presuppone che la sua effettiva efficacia venga messa in atto solo con un vero e proprio metodo operativo, che – per dirla ancora con Michel Serres – l'analisi "lascia la gioia incandescente di inventare"
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Un percorso educativo tra atelier virtuale e cinema
No full textL’atelier si pone come un laboratorio destinato all’osservazione, alla progettazione, alla manipolazione e alla sperimentazione di linguaggi differenti in cerca di nuovi significati. Si presenta come un ambiente sincretico che mette in gioco una pluralità di forme espressive. In questo specifico spazio, il linguaggio cinematografico non assume una funzione illustrativa rispetto ai testi verbali ma sollecita nuove riflessioni di carattere interdisciplinare e interculturale
Variations on the Author
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Voir l’odeur. La représentation parfumée de l’Assomption de la Vierge
No full textA topic little studied, in the present state of the research, is the representation of the sensory dimension, in particular that of smell; in other words, what are the representational strategies used in painting to actually show smell?
If scent, in its oppositional polarity of perfume vs. stink, is not meaningful in its visual dimension, painting instead appears to express a need to account for smell.
A «visual» need for scent emerges not only in the representation of the five senses – through the diffusion of some iconographic motifs, such as flowers, a vase full of perfumes, the bloodhound, etc. – but also, and primarily, within the pictorial narrative.
Thanks to the privileged choice of an iconographic theme, i.e. the Assumption of the Virgin – steeped in implications at the level of olfactory experience – the olfactory issue will be reconstructed, from its presence within the textual sources. In particular, the study of Nicolas Poussin’s painting, Assumption of the Virgin, will be a exemplary case, to show the methods for the portrayal of perfume
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
