No full textThis article examines the diffusion of the technique of stucco made of marble powder in Bologna in the first decades of the sixteenth century through unpublished documents. The author argues that architect Baldassarre Peruzzi played a crucial role in the diffusion of this technique in Northern Italy
Rediscovered Drawings by Bartolomeo Spani
No full textTwo groups of drawings, in the Morgan Library&Museum, New York, and the Musée du Louvre, Paris, are here attributed to the Emilian artist Bartolomeo Spani. Representing the range of his work from goldsmithery to monumental sculpture, they throw light on the relationship between these media at the turn of the sixteenth century, when the artistic status of goldsmiths’work was in decline

Alfonso Lombardi a Santa Maria della Vita: per una rilettura stilistica
No full textAfter having spent the first years of his career as a sculptor at the court of Ferrara, Alfonso Lombardi moved to Bologna in about 1519. There, before 1522, Lombardi completed a large-scale terracotta statuary group of the Funeral of the Virgin for the confraternity of Santa Maria della Vita. In his crafting of this work the sculptor succeeded in reinventing the language of sculpture according to the canons of Roman-inspired figurative culture of the first two decades of the sixteenth century, known in Emilia above all through the circulation of drawings and prints. An attentive stylistic study enables us to read the Funeral of the Virgin through the lens of Alfonso Lombardi’s training in Ferrara, appropriately setting the work in the context of Emilian Raphaelism around 1520. A remarkable aspect of these statues is the naturalistic handling of expressions and flesh passages, now more appreciable through a new series of photographs
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
