CONSUETUDINE/COGNITUDINE. Appropriatezza, valore, significato
No full textIn this essay, I propose an interpretation of the idea of custom/consuetude as cognitude (a neologism that already exists in English). My argument stems from the etymological roots of the word consuetude and the dis-composition of its components. In Latin, the word ‘consuetudo’ is structured as: ‘cum-‘ and ‘suetudo’; where ‘suetudo’ harks back to ‘suum’, which in turn conjures up the ideas of ‘adaptation’ and ‘appropriateness’. What emerges from the analysis of these semantic roots is a relational and reflexive understanding of the historical signification of ‘consuetude.’ In Ancient Roman Law it was defined as a normative source fed by so called opinio iuris seu necessitatis, intended also as the pre-requisite of its binding value. Both ‘adaptation’ and ‘appropriateness’ are related to a subject, and as such involve a cognitive action, which is the origin of their meaning. From this perspective, the idea of consuetude and its normativity seems to be imtermingled with cognition, so that its significance and binding efficaciousness cannot be detached from its suit-ability (not by accident echoing con-suetudo) for the subject caught in its relationship with their social and natural environment. ‘Consuetude’ and ‘cognitude’ end up proving to be two processive experiences unfolding in parallel, even if only asymptotically. Adopting this correspondence as a theoretical sextant and using a methodological enactive approach, I analyze various aspects of custom–specifically in the civil law tradition–by starting anew five times, in five sections. The overall intent is to engage a reflexively interactional and multi-perspectival reading of custom that illuminates the deep connection between cognition and evaluation at the source of legal experience, as well as the legitimacy of both the customary and statute law
The Dynamics of ‘Facts and Rules’ from Legal Logic to the Chorological Morphing of the World — Editorial Introduction
No full textThis special issue grew out of the 23rd Roundtable of Semiotics of Law, held in Rome
in late May 2023. It is conceived as a kind of follow-up to another SI, previously
published in 2023 in the IJSL (36/1 2023), which is titled “Facticty, Normativity, and
Spatial Dynamics”. The guest editors of the 2023 SI, Mario Ricca, Paolo Heritier,
and Stefano Bertea, designed that issue to serve as a theoretical introduction to the
Roundtable and as a way of approaching one of its crucial theoretical topics
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
