    Mario Costa, Isidore Isou e il lettrismo: a cosa è servita l’ultima avanguardia artistica del Novecento

    Full text link
    L’intérêt porté par Mario Costa à Isidore Isou et au Lettrisme a des racines lointaines puisqu’il avait commencé à réfléchir aux « effets esthétiques et anthropologiques » de la théorie d’Isou sur les médias en 1983. Mario Costa contribue par ailleurs à faire connaître le mouvement lettriste en Italie avec ses publications, mais aussi en organisant pour les lettristes une exposition à Naples en 1991. Mario Costa tente à présent de tirer des conclusions sur Isou et sur le Lettrisme : la « créa..

    Mario Costa: arte e nuove tecnologie

    No full text
    Questo lavoro nasce dal mio interesse verso l’arte contemporanea e le diverse possibilità di espressione nell’epoca delle nuove tecnologie, che hanno invaso spazi del quotidiano entrando con prepotenza nelle nostre vite sotto molteplici e variegati aspetti. Che possibilità ha l’arte oggi alla luce delle nuove tecnologie che hanno segnato una rottura epocale nella nostra storia? Sono più di trent’anni che Mario Costa , professore di Estetica dell’Università di Salerno, si interroga sulle interferenze tra arte e nuove tecnologie. Il lavoro di Costa parte dall’analisi di una categoria estetica tradizionale: il sublime, che troverà il suo ruolo all’interno della sua Estetica della comunicazione in una connotazione riattualizzata che prende il nome di sublime tecnologico

    Mario Costa a Neapolitan from Taranto

    No full text
    Mario Costa was born in Taranto, a town in the sunny south of Italy, but early in his childhood moved to Naples, the cultural capital of southern Italy between the last two centuries. He became a musician, composer and poet and he tried many different genres of music: the popular and the aristocratic tradition. Romanza, opera, operetta, popular folk songs. He became famous thankfully to this last one, when the easy listening music industry was starting its productions. This is the first published biography on the artist and is based on original documents and sources

    Da Isidore Isou alla disumanizzazione dell'arte: l'arte oltre l'opera d'arte.

    In questo breve saggio che dedico a Mario Costa, alle sue intuizioni e alle sue ricerche, mi concentro sulle relazioni tra arte e processi di trasformazione e perdita di identità, tra soggettività e crisi dell’affermazione dell’autorialità così come anche sul lento “disumanizzarsi” dell’opera d’arte anche attraverso l’uso delle tecnologie. Ripercorrere dunque con Mario Costa alcune linee di ricerca del XX secolo, una linea che per molti aspetti ha le radici nella fine del XIX secolo, e ricondurla, rapidamente, all’interno del dibattito storico-artistico attuale, è ciò che si propone questo contributo al fine di considerare il passaggio dal dato al fatto, dal dato al fare dell’arte, in quello che Costa definisce il "processo di disumanizzazione dell'arte"

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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
