Officine di scultura tra Napoli e la Spagna. Nicola Fumo e gli scultori in legno tra Sei e Settecento. Ediz. illustrata
No full textLe officine di statuaria lignea dipinta attive a Napoli nel corso del Seicento crebbero rapidamente di numero e importanza grazie all'incessante richiesta di manufatti da parte di ordini religiosi ed esponenti della corte reale, che ne decretarono il successo. I traffici commerciali lungo le rotte del Mediterraneo ne favorirono la circolazione nei luoghi più remoti della Spagna, che ancora oggi ne conservano traccia consentendo di rilevarne l'apprezzamento. Il San Michele Arcangelo del County Museum di Los Angeles o l'Immacolata e il San Giuseppe col Bambino del Museo Conventual de las Descalzas di Antequera sono solo alcune delle opere che lo scultore Nicola Fumo (1649-1725), di origini salernitane, eseguì per essere esportate nella penisola iberica. L'artista, di cui si ricostruisce il corpus tra Napoli e la Spagna, si trasferì in giovane età nella città partenopea dove, attraverso la formazione con lo scultore Cosimo Fanzago e i proficui contatti con Lorenzo Vaccaro e i pittori Francesco Solimena e Luca Giordano, divenne uno dei protagonisti del panorama scultoreo apportando un impulso moderno alla plastica in legno policroma di età Barocca
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
La scultura in legno policroma nella decorazione delle mostre d’altare: il caso del ‘Trittico della Candelora’ di Fontanarosa
Get PDFL’attenzione del contributo è posta sulla storia conservativa del ‘Trittico della Candelora’ nella chiesa di Santa Maria della Misericordia a Fontanarosa. Il recente restauro della cona in legno scolpita, dorata e dipinta ha rinnovato la preziosa decorazione con motivi fitomorfi, come le grottesche di matrice romana. La creazione della macchina, dei primi anni del XVII secolo, può essere rintracciata nella bottega periferica di Giovan Tommaso Guarini, grazie ai suoi contatti a Napoli con lo scultore Giovan Battista Vigilante. Guarini, attivo come intagliatore e pittore, realizzò sia l’intaglio che la tela con il Padre Eterno. Le sculture della Madonna, Sant’Antonio da Padova e San Biagio, decorate con la tecnica dell’estofado, parlano un linguaggio vicino alla produzione napoletana della bottega di Aniello Stellato, il cui autore potrebbe essere identificato nel suo giovane collaboratore Giovan Battista Gallone.The focus of the contribution is on the conservation history of the ‘Trittico della Candelora’ in the church of Santa Maria of Misericordia in Fontanarosa. The recent restoration on the carved, gilded and painted wooden cone has renewed its precious decoration with phytomorphic motifs, like the grotesques of Roman origin. The creation of the machine, in the early seventeenth century, can be traced back to the peripheral workshop of Giovan Tommaso Guarini, thanks to his contacts in Naples with the sculptor Giovan Battista Vigilante. Guarini, active as a carver and painter, made both the carving and the canvas with the Eternal Father. The sculptures of the Madonna, Sant’Antonio da Padova and San Biagio, decorated with the estofado technique, speak a language close to the Neapolitan production of the Aniello Stellato workshop, whose author could be identified in his young collaborator Giovan Battista Gallone
Nicola Fumo (1649-1725) e la sua bottega. La scultura in legno barocca nel circuito del Mediterraneo
Get PDF2018 - 2019Con la presente ricerca si è inteso puntare l’attenzione sul fenomeno della circolazione della
scultura in legno barocca nel circuito del Mediterraneo, a partire dalla città di Napoli che, nel corso
del Seicento, divenne luogo di aggregazione di artisti, centro di produzione e approvvigionamento di
gran parte delle opere destinate non solo alla ricca committenza di chierici e aristocratici locali ma
anche a una clientela forestiera. L’interesse di questi amatori, rivolto a prodotti di diversa natura,
consacrò quegli aspetti apparentemente più artigianali e minori dell’attività delle botteghe,
riconoscendo alla statuaria policroma una posizione privilegiata. Tale situazione comportò la
progressiva affermazione di specialisti del settore, che non furono però estranei agli orientamenti
stilistici dei coevi marmorari e pittori ma alquanto addentro alla temperie culturale del secolo. .. [a cura dell'Autore]The aim of the research was to examine the phenomenon of the circulation of wooden
sculpture in the Mediterranean from Naples - the center of this traffic - to Spain, since the
seventeenth century the Spanish Viceroy became not only the right place for artists and their
meetings but also a production and supply center of the works.
These were destined to the wealthy commission, local clerics, aristocrats and in addiction to
foreign costumers. In that age the huge interest shown by people for the art and its different
products, consecrated those apparently more artisanal and minor aspects of the activity of the
workshops, giving the polychrome statuary a privileged position. This condition furthermore
made a plenty favored to the progress of the specialist in the sector, close to the stylistic
orientations of the marble slaves and painters but somewhat involved in the cultural climate of
the century. .. [edited by Author]XXXII cicl
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
