‘ Giacché sono i teatri le pubbliche scuole’: dal passato idee per nuovi prototipi formativi
No full textNelle fasi storiche segnate da condizioni critiche o da slanci rigenerativi, gli spazi e le attività teatrali sono stati al centro di dibattiti e di querelles. In vari snodi epocali, partendo dalla constatazione dell’esistenza e della centralità urbana dei teatri e del loro potere attrattivo, gli intellettuali hanno meditato su come indirizzare verso il bene della società il patrimonio materiale, immaterialmente animato, insito nei luoghi teatrali. Pur nelle differenze di contesti, trasversalmente spicca lo sforzo analitico teso a comprendere il potere comunicativo ed educativo del teatro e dei suoi linguaggi, al fine di veicolare verso determinate fasce della popolazione i messaggi, ritenuti positivi o produttivi in quella fase storica.
L’ideazione del progetto ForTe: Formazione in teatro. Gli spazi della musica e dello spettacolo per una didattica innovativa in sicurezza (d’ora innanzi ForTe) ha preso spunto anche da questi assunti. In un momento di crisi sanitaria globale e di drammatica difficoltà per la praticabilità scolastica, i soggetti di governo italiani hanno preso in considerazione i teatri, quali contenitori ampi e strutturalmente sicuri, anche sotto il profilo sanitario e del distanziamento . Per chi i teatri li studia e li vive è evidente, tuttavia, come tali spazi non siano una semplice aula, solo un po’ più grande. Considerare il teatro unicamente come contenitore di studenti da istruire secondo modalità formative consuete significherebbe infatti non capitalizzare l’alto potere evocativo di luoghi non neutri, bensì connotati e predisposti alla comunicazione, alla performance, all’interazione fra maestranze e all’azione di diversi soggetti. Fare lezioni ‘in teatro’, ignorando il valore aggiunto generato dalla sua aura emozionale, rappresenterebbe dunque un’occasione mancata per offrire ai discenti attività formative forti, peculiarmente disegnate da docenti che non temano l’innovazione e la complessità .
In questa prospettiva, nelle prossime pagine, alcuni passi emblematici, tratti da fonti storiche, verranno posti in dialogo con un primo bilancio prospettico dei prototipi formativi, sperimentati nel corso della realizzazione del progetto ForTe
Management and accounting for music crews: the case of the music organization in the duchy of Mantua (late 1600, early 1700)
No full textExactly 300 years ago (1707), the Gonzaga duchy met its inglorious end. Ferdinando Carlo Gonzaga undoubtedly contributed to such a collapse, as he was more interested in court musical entertainments than in the duchy’s “governance”.
In this context, thanks to the find of precious accounting books – now at the Mantua Public Records Office –, and in accordance with the institutional theoretical framework, we intend to verify the synchronic link between the duchy system of rules, the management of a music organizational network build up in the duchy itself, and its accounting system.
We develop this analysis by considering: i. the social contexts in which the music events were organized; ii. the structures and procedures appointed to finance and organize the events and provide rewards to musicians; iii. the accounting books designed to record the related expenses; iv. the actual implementation of such processes, as well as the power relationships
Organization of Music Events, Accounting Change and Power Stability During the last Years of the Duchy of Mantua (Late 1600, Early 1700)

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
