A Companion to Warburgian Studies. Engramma 199, Editorial
No full textThis issue of Engramma is intended as an update of the overview of studies dedicated to Warburg in the world: an important work of reconnaissance inaugurated with Engramma 165, Warburgian Studies. The issue brings together contributions from different scholars, sharing a common vision of Warburg and his thought. A Companion to Warburgian Studies is divided into three parts: I. Essays; II. Overviews; III. Presentations and Reviews.
I. Essays. Daniela Sacco in her Forma Atlante e storiografia teatrale offers us a reflection on the possibility of considering the ‘atlas form’, deduced from the thought of Aby Warburg, as a model for investigating the methodology of twentieth-century theatrical historiography, and in particular in the pioneering studies opened by Ludovico Zorzi and Fabrizio Cruciani. Arturo Mazzarella, Aby Warburg. Per una genealogia del Rinascimento aims to highlight the profound innovations made by Warburg, compared to the most widespread interpretations of Renaissance artistic culture. Raoul Kirchmayr, Per una semantica del Nach. Osservazioni di metodo su Warburg, Freud e Benjamin analyses the semantics of the term Nachleben, which expresses the unique relationship between image and time in three authors that the history of scholarship has often juxtaposed: Warburg, Benjamin and Freud. The point of reference from which the reflection starts is the interest of all three in the epistemological status of images in relation to their historicity. Alessandro Dal Lago, Voce dall’Enciclopedia Garzanti di Filosofia, a cura di G. Vattimo, M. Ferraris, D. Marconi, Milano [1981] 1993 rejects the definition of Warburg as an art historian, pointing out how he extends his research to Anthropology, History of Religions, and Science of Culture. Chiara Velicogna, “A small academy in a small town”. Anglo-italian scholarship on the Teatro Olimpico in the immediate post-war period approaches two early post-war pieces of scholarship concerning the Teatro Olimpico: Donald Gordon’s Academicians Build a Theatre and Give a Play (1966) and Licisco Magagnato’s The Genesis of the Teatro Olimpico (1951).
II. Overviews. Livros e artigos sobre Aby Warburg em língua portuguesa (2018-2023): the bibliography edited by Ianick Takaes updates the review of texts on Aby Warburg in Portuguese by Cássio Fernandes published in ”Engramma” 165, Aby Warburg negli studi latino-americani. Исследования о Варбурге в России by Ekaterina Mikhailova-Smolniakova summarises the recent studies about Aby Warburg in Russia. Current researchers in Russia have access both to translations and original texts by Aby Warburg. Warburgian Studies in Australia edited by Jaynie Anderson, updates the history Australian studies about Warburg and his legacy are summarised by the intellectual and scientific history of the three most important and influential scholars in this field: Jaynie Anderson, Robert Gaston and Charles Green.
III. Presentations and Reviews. Micheal Diers in Aby Warburg. Ein Porträt aus Briefen presents here the Introduction to Briefe, edited by Micheal Diers and Thomas Helbig and published for De Gruyter’s Gesammelte Schriften, Studienausgabe series. Victoria Cirlot, En el Archivo Warburg. A propósito de: A. Warburg, Per monstra ad sphaeram. Terror y armonía de las esferas presents the new Spanish translation of Per monstra ad sphaeram, the text of the lecture given by Aby Warburg in 1925 in memory of Franz Boll.

Uno spazio per il pensiero, edited by Seminario Mnemosyne publishes the Introduction to Maurizio Ghelardi's new book, Aby Warburg, uno spazio per il pensiero. Ghelardi's new edition thus emphasises the need to continue research into Warburg vast unpublished materials. Seminario Mnemosyne presents La tirannia degli astri, the new edition of Marco Bertozzi’s volume on Salone dei Mesi in Palazzo Schifanoia, published by Sillabe in 2022. The new edition features an expanded bibliography and images from a major photographic campaign.Bernardino Branca in “The Edgar Wind Journal” presents a international journal, in open access format, with a summary of the first three issues
Dürer Rembrandt Manet: Warburg Manebit!
No full textEngramma 206 questions the yet to be resolved problem concerning the exposability of Aby Warburg’s Mnemosyne Atlas. This issue is the result of reflections that Seminario Mnemosyne explored during the “Warburg Manebit!” exhibition, that took place in Februrary 2023 at the Università Iuav di Venezia
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
