La nobiltà naufraga (a Voltri). L'Isola dei Portenti di Gaetano
No full textL'intervento tratta delle vicende storiche legate alla composizione ed esecuzione dell'opera "L'isola dei portenti" di Gaetano Isola. L'opera fu commissionata al compositore genovese nel 1788 dalla famiglia Brignole-Sale per essere eseguita da nobili dilettanti nel teatrino costruito nella residenza di Voltri, località di villeggiatura a poco distante da Genova
L’opera di Gaetano Isola. Un maestro di cappella nella Genova di secondo Settecento
No full textA lungo la storiografia si è occupata solo marginalmente della vita musicale nella Genova
settecentesca, forse anche scoraggiata dalla delusione espressa da una celebre dichiarazione del
musicografo Charles Burney nel suo The Present State of Music in France and Italy del 1771:
«Genova non rispose alla mia aspettativa». Solo in anni più recenti alcuni studiosi locali, con
approcci e intenti differenti, si sono interessanti alla questione. Ad oggi mancano tuttavia studi
specifici e complessivi sulle biografie dei compositori del periodo, lasciando zone d’ombre nella
storia musicale cittadina.
Gaetano Isola fu certamente una meteora in un secolo musicalissimo. Nato in strada Balbi nel
1754, di formazione palermitana, dipanò la propria esistenza biografica e professionale nella città
natale, operando sia come maestro al cembalo al teatro da Sant’Agostino sia come maestro di
cappella durante le funzioni religiose. Visse in prima persona la fine della repubblica aristocratica
nel 1797, svolta politica ed esistenziale di un periodo in cui era vissuto per quarantatre anni.
Morirà nel 1813, proprio nel momento in cui Rossini, con Tancredi prima e l’Italiana in Algeri poi,
segnò un’ulteriore svolta, questa musicale, con lo stile precedente di cui anche Isola fece parte
Note critiche sul Concerto in si bemolle maggiore per clavicembalo e orchestra di Domenico Cimarosa. Prospettive per una nuova edizione del manoscritto genovese SS.A.1.21 (G.8)
No full textIl testo espone alcune prospettive filologiche legate al ms. SS.A.1.21 (G.8) conservato presso la biblioteca del Conservatorio N. Paganini di Genova, unico testimone noto del Concerto per clavicembalo e orchestra di Domenico Cimarosa. Sono analizzate talune problematiche codicologiche e paleografiche e sono discusse differenti ipotesi riguardo lo strumento destinatario del concerto
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
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
