Parliamo di sorellanza
Full text linkL’estate di inGenere è ricca di consigli di lettura, visioni e racconti. Le abbiamo chiamate "playlist". In questa, Marcella Corsi ricostruisce il senso di una parola, sorellanza, partendo da Olympe de Gouges e approdando alle bandiere disegnate da Rita Petrucciol
Maternità femministe
Full text linkL’estate di inGenere è ricca di pensieri su orizzonti femministi indirizzati alle ragazze che stanno vivendo il presente e alle donne che vivranno nel futuro. Li abbiamo chiamati "messaggi in bottiglia". In questo, Marcella Corsi parla di maternità e desider
Measuring Poverty in Europe
No full textMarcella Corsi and Kristian Orsini analyse poverty levels in six European countries: Germany, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom. They focus on child poverty, taking into account differences in demographic structure, actual redistribution policies towards younger households and family services aimed at increasing female labour market participation in the European Union. They argue that starting from the 1980s most industrialized countries have experienced a trend towards increasing child poverty, whereas poverty rates amongst elderly populations have radically decreased. They suggest that in the ‘digital divide’ era, child poverty might have more far-reaching consequences than in the past. Development (2002) 45, 93–101. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1110387
Women and Microfinance in Mediterranean Countries
No full textMarcella Corsi and her co-workers analyze the social and economic impact that microfinance programmes have on participant's lives, particularly on women in the Mediterranean countries. They identify the changes of the women who took part in the microcredit programme. They examine the consumption levels, savings, housing conditions and investigate using an index of the changes whether the microcredit programme did indeed bring about women empowerment. Development (2006) 49, 67–74. doi:10.1057/palgrave.development.1100247
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
Ricardo visto da Marcella Corsi
No full textII saggio si propone di riesaminare un aspetto particolare del pensiero di David Ricardo - quello relativo agli effetti delle imposte sui profitti e sui salari - sottolineandone i legami con la teoria ricardiana della distribuzione e dello sviluppo. E' noto che la determinazione delle leggi secondo le quali il sovrappiù prodotto (pari alla differenza tra il valore del prodotto e il valore dei mezzi di produzione) si distribuisce tra le diverse classi di partecipanti al processo produttivo, rappresenta il problema centrale dell'analisi ricardiana; la soluzione di tale problema influenza in maniera determinante l'impostazione e la stessa soluzione che Ricardo da al problema dell'incidenza delle imposte considerate. Nel saggio vengono richiamati brevemente i punti principali della teoria ricardiana della distribuzione e dello sviluppo, onde farne tesoro nella successiva lettura dell'analisi degli effetti delle imposte sui profitti e sui salari, svolta da Ricardo nel suo "momento d'oro", ossia in quel "Sui principi dell'economia politica e della tassazione" del 1817, che contribuì alla definitiva affermazione di Ricardo come caposcuola nella élite politico-culturale della sua epoca
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
