    Reflections in Late Antique cities in Apulia et Calabria and in Southern Italy

    No full text
    This paper presents some reflections on the new identity acquired by Southern Italian cities between the 4th and the middle of the 6th century AD. The roman towns, that knew continuity of life during the Late Antique period, responded with a resilient behaviour to the effects of long-running processes such as the con- traction of public and private financial resources; the drastic limitation of the role and decision-making power of the ancient urban curiae; the progressive concentration of the peripheral power management functions in a few selected centres

    Il contributo riporta l'esperienza condotta sull'area di Pompei con l'obiettivo di realizzare un Sistema Informativo in grado di conservare, gestire e integrare i dati e i documenti di archivio raccolti in diversi momenti e aree del sito archeologico. Si tratta di un sistema Informativo Unificato tridimensionale in grado di fornire un framework uniforme per la visualizzazione scientifica e la presentazione via web del sistema di dati che caratterizza la città e l'area vesuviana. L'obiettivo finale sarà quello di facilitare l'interpretazione, l'esplorazione e l'analisi di una grande quantità di dati con significative caratteristiche geo-spaziali, temporali e semantich

    La experiencia llevada a cabo en Pompeya tiene como objetivo la formación de un Sistema Informativo que permita conservar, gestionar e integrar los datos, archivos y documentos recogidos en diferentes momentos y espacios del yacimiento arqueológico. Un Sistema Informativo Unificado de carácter 3D capaz de suministrar un framework uniforme para la visualización científica y la presentación web-based del conjunto de datos -que se carcaterizan por su heterogeneidad- de esta ciudad y del área vesubiana en general. El objetivo final será el de facilitar la interpretación, la exploración y, por último, el análisis de grandes volúmenes de datos con significativas características geo-espaciales, temporales y semánticas

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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
