Full text link«Instants follow one another: nothing gives them the illusion of content or the semblance of meaning; they unfold; their course is not our own; prisoners of an inebriated perception, we watch them pass by; the emptiness of the heart before the emptiness of time: two mirrors, one in front of the other, reflecting their absence, a same image of nothingness... As if under the effect of dreamy idiocy, everything levels out: no more peaks, no more abysses... Where to discover the poetry of lies, the sting of an enigma?» (Cioran 1996, p. 26). In this "incurable convalescence" driven by boredom, one wonders how, in a reality where « data and information have no symbolic force, so they do not allow recognition» (Chul Han 2021, p. 12), the Monument can imprint a particular event in memory.«Gli istanti si susseguono gli uni agli altri: nulla conferisce loro l'illusione di un contenuto o la parvenza di un significato; si svolgono; il loro corso non è il nostro; prigionieri di una percezione inebetita, li guardiamo passare; il vuoto del cuore dinanzi al vuoto del tempo: due specchi, uno di fronte all’altro, che riflettono la loro assenza, una stessa immagine di nullità... Come sotto l’effetto di un’idiozia sognante, ogni cosa si livella: niente più cime, niente più abissi... Dove scoprire la poesia delle menzogne, il pungolo di un enigma?» (Cioran 1996, p. 26). In questa “convalescenza incurabile” guidata dalla noia, ci si chiede in che modo, in una realtà in cui «i dati e le informazioni non possiedono alcuna forza simbolica, per cui non consentono il riconoscimento» (Chul Han 2021, p. 12), il Monumento possa imprimere nella memoria un determinato evento

Full text linkL’idea era semplice. Ricostruire il tessuto sociale lacerato dalla pandemia facendo leva sul molteplice teatrale che Guido Canella, a partire dalla fine degli anni Sessanta, aveva dislocato a corona intorno al capoluogo lombardo. Come nelle fiabe o nei miti, in quei giorni coltivavamo la certezza che solo teatro e infanzia possedessero la formula per restituire forza transitiva a quelle epiche macchine primordiali. Perché il teatro serve all’architettura più di quello che l’architettura serve al teatro. Perché se la missione teatrale è l’esperienza della vita attraverso il teatro, per chi si occupa di architettura, la missione teatrale è l’esperienza dell’architettura attraverso il teatr
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
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
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
