Cuma: i sistemi di regimentazione delle acque di epoca arcaica, la pianificazione urbana e la tirannide di Aristodemo
No full textThis paper focuses on the water management of the Greek colony of Cumae from the Early Archaic to the Archaic period (ca. 700-500 BC), starting from the new evidence emerged during the last excavations of the University ‘L’Orientale’ of Napoli. The Early Archaic urban planning of the area North to the Roman Forum (ca. 700 BC) adapted to the geomorphological char- acteristics of the territory. The roads slope ensured a good drainage of the rain water in excess Northwards, thereby crossing the city to reach the Licola lagoon. The successful results of the water management policy in Cumae are the main reasons behind the persistence of the same urban plan until the Late Roman period.
A significant improvement of the drainage system was undertaken probably under the tyrant Aristodemos (504-485 BC) as part of his public policy program. This involved the rebuilding of the city walls and the promotion of monumental works associated to the water management (as also suggested by the taphros reported by Plutarch). The construction of a monumen- tal two-channel sewer crossing the Northern city walls West of the Middle Gate allowed to pour the excess rain water into a moat. Aristodemos’ drainage system was in use throughout the history of Cumae, proving its success in improving the city life through the water management. th

close cultural and political relationships between Rome and Cumae during the Archaic period. These huge improvements in the water management system are the result of the combined experiences of other cities of Greece, Magna Graecia, Campania and Italy

Emanuele Greco, Maria Chiara Monaco, Acque tiranniche: regimentazione, adduzione e sfruttamento delle acque ad Atene in età arcaica
No full textAfter a brief geological and geomorphological presentation of the plain of Athens, the aim of the article is to offer a synthesis
of the most relevant hydraulic works in the city from the Geometric to the end of the archaic age. The solonian law about use
and consumption of water from the wells is briefly examined. Then we proceed to the archaeological data: the digging of wells,
as a more ancient and widespread practice; the subsequent creation, probably at the end of the 6th century BC, of the first
imposing aqueduct referring to Pisistratus or his sons; the still debated issue related to the Enneakrounos. Finally, we examine
the important transformations, dated between the end of the sixth century BC and the second quarter of the following century,
which radically changed the landscape of the Agora area, which has now become public space: the filling of the Eridano’s valley,
the channeling of the same river and the construction of the Great Drain
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
La città e le mura: nuovi dati dall’area Nord della città antica
No full textThis paper deals with the excavations held by the University of Napoli "L'Orientale" in the urban area and the Northern walls of Cumae in Campania. The excavations in the urban area, directed by Matteo D'Acunto, found layers going back as early as the early archaic and archaic periods. They found part of a house which was established in the second half of the 8th Cent. BC with a well preserved series of hearth

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
