Il "caso" "Francesca da Rimini": «un'opera nuova» per Madrid o Milano?
No full textNel 1819 la censura milanese proibì la "Francesca da Rimini", nuovo libretto di Felice Romani destinato a Giacomo Meyerbeer. Il testo ricevette la prima intonazione quattro anni più tardi grazie a Feliciano Strepponi (Vicenza, Teatro Eretenio, 1823), e molti furono poi i musicisti di primo Ottocento che ne subirono il fascino; tra questi anche Saverio Mercadante. La sua partitura, messa a punto nel 1830/31 per il Teatro del Príncipe di Madrid e in un secondo momento destinata alla Scala di Milano, è rimasta però ineseguita fino ai giorni nostri: la sua fortuna fu in qualche modo segnata dalle rigide convenzioni che regolavano il sistema operistico e che favorirono il protagonismo di alcune cantanti
Musica strumentale a Napoli nel Settecento
No full textIl saggio si propone di correggere l’ immagine storiografica che identificava tout court la cibviltà musicale napoletana del XVIII secolo con la vocalità e il teatro d’opera per considerarne la ricca e variegata produzione strumentale come parte integrante e costitutiva
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
Premessa
No full textIl leggendario tenore italiano Enrico Caruso è indiscutibilmente annoverato tra i più grandi cantanti lirici di tutti i tempi. La sua carriera e il suo impatto sull'universo della musica lirica e dell'industria discografica sono stati da sempre oggetto di una vasta serie di studi biografici e critici che ne hanno delineato i differenti aspetti. La particolarità di questo volume, magistralmente curato con passione e impegno da Francesco Cotticelli e Paologiovanni Maione, è tuttavia quella di esplorare in modo organico e rigorosamente scientifico alcune fra le prospettive più originali della personalità del grande tenore, offrendo una nuova e illuminante visione sul suo percorso storico e artistico.Enrico Caruso, the Italian tenor, is widely regarded as one of the greatest opera singers of all time. His career and impact on the opera music and recording industry have been extensively studied in biographical and critical works. This volume, edited by Francesco Cotticelli and Paologiovanni Maione, explores original perspectives on the great tenor's personality in a scientific manner, offering a new view of his historical and artistic journey
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
