Violenze “di genere” e violenze “sulle donne”: problemi di definizione e di rilevazione empirica

IDENTITÀ ETNICA E SVILUPPO TURISTICO
No full textL’identità etnica è un fenomeno complesso, definibile tramite le sue varie dimensioni costituenti. Tra identità etnica, turismo e sviluppo locale esiste una relazione ambivalente. Si fa specifico riferimento al cosiddetto “turismo etnico” (Yang and Wall, 2009), per il quale l’esistenza di lingue di minoranza – oltre che di tutto il ricco patrimonio culturale associato – costituisce un fattore di attrazione turistica e una potenziale leva di sviluppo dei territori.
Al fine di rilevare l’identità etnica dei residenti appare necessario costruire e utilizzare idonei strumenti di misurazione, obiettivo al quale ha mirato una ricerca condotta in due comuni siciliani di origine arbëreshe. Tale origine è quella che identifica la minoranza linguistico-culturale degli “Albanesi di Sicilia"Ethnic identity is a complex phenomenon, definable through its various constituent dimensions. There is an ambivalent relationship between ethnic identity, tourism and local development. Specific reference is made to the so-called “ethnic tourism” (Yang and Wall, 2009), for which the existence of minority languages – as well as all the rich associated cultural heritage – constitutes a factor of tourist attraction and a potential lever for the development of the territories. In order to detect the ethnic identity of residents, it appears necessary to build and use suitable measurement tools, an objective aimed at by a research conducted in two Sicilian municipalities of Arbëreshe origin. This origin is the one that identifies the linguistic-cultural minority of the “Albanians of Sicily

Automated Content Analysis of Destination Image: a Case Study
No full textAutomated content analysis has become one of the most used approaches to extract “hidden” dimensions from text corpora over the last years. One of the data analysis techniques belonging to this approach is topic modeling, which can be fruitfully used to analyse complex phenomena like tourist destination image. With this aim in mind, this paper discusses the use of topic modeling to identify the main components of the image of cruise holidays spread through a specific type of visual text, i.e. the Television commercial. In order to achieve this goal, the paper presents the methodology and main results of a study carried out over a sample of TV commercials, which have recently been broadcast on Television by four of the major cruise lines operating in Italy
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
