No full textThe Universities of Pavia and Oxford continued their investigations in Villa Adriana, in the area called Plutonium, traditionally interpreted as a reproduction of the Underworld, and located on one of the highest rises of the complex, in the east part of the villa. The excavations took place from 27 June to 16 July 2022. Two trenches were opened in areas already subject to cleaning and documentation in previous years: (1) Trench T, located in the northwest part of the built-up complex, within the north side of the structure on a high podium.
(2) Trench D, providing the connection between trenches (C and B) opened in previous years and intersecting the semicircular structure projecting southwest of the front of the Plutonium
Territorial occupation and defensive models in Chaonia and the Drino valley between the Fourth and Third Centuries BC.
No full textThe Chaonian and Epirote model of territorial organization in Classical and Hellenistic times has often been subject of valuable studies, mostly aimed at cataloguing and ranking the main centres of the territory in a hierarchical way. This approach evidently suffers from some general limitations in processing the information: the first issue concerns the absence of chronological data and of the economic, social, political context that allow one to comprehend the role of individual sites and their relations with others. Secondly, such studies rely almost exclusively on outdated research, consolidating and reproducing obvious errors, for example in the site plans. Therefore, based only on a limited and uncertain amount of archaeological data, they tend to privilege arbitrarily identified interpretative categories, such as those linked to a settlement's monumental characteristics. These are only partially connected to their functions, and more often to the variables of post-depositional processes, all at the expense of a holistic approach.
Work carried out since 2005 in the Drino Valley has tried to minimize this uncertainty and heterogeneity of data by carrying out topographic research on sites considered useful for our understanding of territorial dynamics and by collecting the most updated, reliable, detailed and homogeneous archaeological data possible. Based on the outcomes of this research, the aim of this paper is that of identifying a model for reconstructing the settlement system of the Drino Valley, by addressing, in particular, the relationships between its various centres
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
