Monte Zara (Monastir - SU): a pin head from the Alpha area
No full textQuesto contributo analizza una testa di spillone-stiletto in bronzo ritrovata presso il sito pluristratificato di Monte Zara Is Obias (Monastir-CA). Il dato stratigrafico ed i confronti morfologici configurano il reperto come elemento contestualizzabile all’interno della frequentazione del sito durante la II età del Ferro.This paper analyzes the bronze head of cloak pin discovered at Monte Zara- Is Obias (Monastir-CA). Stratigraphic association and morphologic comparison contextualize the evidence during the frequentation of the site in II Iron Age
“UOMINI-CAVALLO”: GENESI, ELABORAZIONE E MEMORIA ICONOGRAFICA DELLA FIGURA DEL CENTAURO, ALCUNI ESEMPI
Full text linkL’elaborato è dedicato a uno studio iconografico e simbolico del centauro. La distribuzione delle sue occorrenze in ambiti culturali e geografici diversificati diluita entro un arco cronologico molto esteso ha raccomandato di rinunciare a trattazioni generiche selezionando, dopo una ricognizione complessiva della documentazione del corpus iconografico noto in letteratura, tre ambiti di particolare pregnanza: nel primo di essi, il Vicino-Oriente, è stata rintracciata la sua origine, e dalla metà del II Millennio circa il Mischwesen mostra caratteristiche tipologiche esclusive e ricorre in specifici manufatti dalla forte valenza simbolico-religiosa. Modelli di adozione e diffusa rielaborazione sono stati poi censiti nella penisola italica dell’età del Ferro, luogo in cui l’immagine del centauro, pur mantenendo le sue note morfologiche, sembra riplasmata dal punto di vista iconologico e acquisisce specificità di natura endogena tratte dal substrato culturale autoctono. Infine, per valutare le eredità figurative, è stata compiuta una brevissima incursione tra le elaborazioni medioevali, dove si delinea come la sua iconografia, retaggio del repertorio pagano-classico, venga reinterpretata allegoricamente dal mondo cristiano senza che tuttavia ne appaia snaturata la valenza ancestrale
La necropoli di Fornaci a Capua. Alcuni contesti inediti dell’Orientalizzante Antico e Medio
Full text linkThis paper focuses on some contexts of the Fornaci necropolis in Capua, excavated between 60s and 80s by W. Johannowsky. The topographic analysis of some parts of the necropolis shows organic and structured depositional forms between the second half of eighth and the half of seventh century BC (Capua IIB-III). The recognition of some groups of tombs centreted around a more ancient one and the characteristic burial methods reserved to acerba graves could suggest a genealogical link among them.L’articolo intende porre l’accento su alcuni contesti del complesso funerario di Via delle Fornaci a Capua indagato tra gli anni 60 e 80 da W. Johannowsky. Nel periodo compreso tra la seconda metà dell’VIII e la metà del VII secolo a.C. (Capua IIB-III) l’osservazione della topografia di alcuni lembi di necropoli mostra la presenza di fenomeni strutturati di occupazione dello spazio funerario. Di rilievo l’identificazione di raggruppamenti di sepolture incentrati attorno ad una sepoltura più antica e di particolari modalità di deposizione dedicate alle sepolture di sub-adulti, che sembrerebbero sottendere l’esistenza di legami genealogici perpetuati nel tempo
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
