Margine vivo. Verso un'ecologia del patrimonio
No full textIl patrimonio storico europeo è sempre più spesso minacciato da fattori di disturbo, naturali e antropogenici, mentre assistiamo all’inarrestabile cre-scita del corpus dell’eredità e del suo pubblico. Le politiche europee sono di-rette ad affrontare le sfide della contemporaneità proprio attraverso il pa-trimonio culturale, a cui viene riconosciuto il ruolo di strumento di dialogo tra i popoli. Questo porta ad invocare strategie di “conservazione attiva”, in grado di assicurare una maggiore continuità tra i paesaggi archeologici e i paesaggi del quotidiano.
La ricerca intende esplorare un approccio interdisciplinare finalizzato al mantenimento della vitalità del patrimonio storico e dei suoi contesti, che integri aspetti culturali ed ecologici, conservazione e valorizzazione. Guar-dando al paesaggio come mosaico mutevole, sistema di sistemi in equilibrio dinamico, è possibile intendere il disturbo come un evento che certo altera un luogo, ma allo stesso tempo genera ricchezza.
Il rapporto tra area archeologica e contesto si manifesta nelle zone di margine che circondano le aree su cui insistono le permanenze; queste pos-sono essere considerate, anziché semplicemente come contorni, come zone di penetrazione da parte delle comunità, zone di frontiera e dunque di co-municazione e di scambio, necessarie alla sopravvivenza stessa dei siti. Tale approccio si rivela di fondamentale importanza in tutti i casi in cui le aree ar-cheologiche si trovano a contatto diretto con la città e le pressioni che ne de-rivano.
In tali casi il margine può essere ripensato come interfaccia funzionale ecologica e paesaggistica, come membrana porosa che trattiene e che lascia fluire allo stesso tempo, nella quale avviene lo scambio delle sostanze che concorrono a nutrire la vitalità delle aree archeologiche e, attraverso questa, dei contesti. Per far sì che conservazione e valorizzazione dei resti archeologi-ci e del paesaggio possano concorrere alla definizione di una continuità spa-ziale e temporale interrotta, si propone la ricerca di una permeabilità che sia allo stesso tempo ecologica, acustica e visuale
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
Ripensare il progetto degli spazi aperti. Soglie e gradienti negli spazi di transizione
No full textSome results of a recent research of national interest offer the opportunity to approach the design of “in between spaces” as fundamental feature in the regeneration of public housing settlements.
The term “in between spaces” traditionally refers to the transition between different dimensions of neighbourhoods: internal and external, individual and collective, private and public etc.
Today, such spaces play a key role in the reactivation of the neighbourhood, both at local scale, focusing on practises and every-day uses, and at urban scale, waving links between the target area and a wider urban context.
The paper speculates about some terms defining “in between spaces” and some operational tools identifying their distinctive shape and composition in relation to other neighbourhood’s features, as early assumptions for transformation
