Permutazioni e memoria di un borgo sannita
No full textL’oblio e l’abbandono raccontano la storia recente di un borgo sannita, quello di Castelpoto, che, sospeso in una dimensione altra, è memoria di avvenimenti e di vicende le cui origini sono da ricercare in secoli lontani. A pochi chilometri da Benevento e situato su di un colle, è arroccato su di un costone tufaceo che governa le propaggini orientali del Massiccio del Taburno, alla destra del fiume Calore. Anche se testimonianze di epoca repubblicana e imperiale attestano la presenza d’insediamenti antichi, favoriti dalla vicinanza con le Vie Latina e Appia, la storia di Castelpoto è significativamente legata e segnata dalle vicende del popolo longobardo e della relativa dominazione.
Al nono secolo, infatti, risale l’assegnazione del feudo al duca Potone, per volere del principe di Benevento Radelchi, al quale è, più che verosimilmente legata, l’origine etimologica del nome del borgo. Ma l’apice della sua potenza sarà raggiunta con la dominazione normanna, quando diviene posto di frontiera e di grande rilevanza strategica, grazie alla vicinanza con la città di Benevento.
Il borgo, purtroppo oggi totalmente abbandonato per effetto dei fenomeni migratori postbellici unitamente ai disagi e ai danni provocati dai terremoti del 1963 e del 1980, si presenta come un insediamento “fantasma” originariamente caratterizzato dalla presenza di una fortificazione. Gli edifici, disposti intorno al Castello, nucleo centrale del quale s’individua ancora l’originaria struttura e al quale si accede percorsa una strada in salita che sovrasta il grande arco in pietra, versano in condizioni di grave degrado. Scopo della ricerca è quello di ricostruire e restituire la storia di un insediamento e delle sue trasformazioni nonché quello di riconfigurare, attraverso l’indagine delle fonti archivistiche, iconografiche e l’elaborazione di rilievi architettonici delle consistenze caratterizzanti il borgo, per far emergere ed evidenziare gli elementi significativi e qualificanti l’antico insediamento. Dalla lettura e dall’interpretazione dei segni, indagare quei caratteri espressivi, che se valorizzati e riqualificati, restituirebbero vita ad un insediamento oggi sepolto non solo dal verde e dalla vegetazione, ma nella memoria di molti. L’attività di ricerca si avvale di metodologie d’indagine e tecniche di rilevamento tridimensionale laser scanner 3D volte alla definizione di un modello interpretativo in cui le informazioni e i dati reperiti, sono organizzati, gestiti ed elaborati mediante un linguaggio idoneo a esprimere e rappresentare l’oggetto indagato
Modificazione e immagini di luoghi. Changes and images of places
No full textIn questo saggio si riflette su tre edifici destinati ad accogliere i passeggeri delle linee dell’alta velocità. Questi si qualificano per aspetti formali e concettuali differenti e per le diverse relazioni e condizionamenti reciproci tra i territori e i nuovi episodi, “attori” in rappresentazioni dalle differenti complessità. In this paper we reason on three buildings whose purpose is to accommodate passengers of high-speed lines. These buildings qualify for different formal and conceptual aspects and for diverse relationships and mutual influences between territories and the new episodes, "actors" in representations characterized by various complexity
Rilievo, modellazione e recupero dei borghi abbandonati, Survey, modelling and recovery of abandoned villages
No full textThe current study is part of a wider range of experiments aimed at identifying a suitable and effective process of knowledge, investigation and representation of contexts such as abandoned villages, which are often difficult to use and not recordable by traditional methods due to their relief characteristics. The object of the field trial is Castelpoto (Campania), a partially abandoned Samnite village for which integration of different technologies has been applied in the acquisition of metric and colorimetric data. Data acquisition is by means of active optical sensors, in particular laser scanner (range-based) and digital technologies based on the photograph (image-based), combined with traditional ones. Through the coding of a systematic process, which goes from data acquisition to processing and to their three-dimensional representation, the research finds potential and possible problems of the adopted methodologies, used as application tools in the metric and topological investigation
Permutazioni e memoria di un borgo sannita
No full textLunga la lista di antichi e piccoli borghi che vedono nell’abbandono un comune destino. Arroccati su colli, piuttosto che su poggi o lungo le linee descritte da un declivio boscoso, si dispongono a difesa dei luoghi su cui insistono. Questi significativi insediamenti rappresentano la memoria di un Paese che ormai vive solo nella dimensione del ricordo. Tra di essi si annovera un piccolo borgo in territorio sannita, Castelpoto, la cui origine risale al nono secolo. Lo studio di questo ambito s’inserisce in un più ampio campo di sperimentazioni volte ad individuare un adeguato processo d’indagine in contesti spesso difficilmente fruibili. Gli strumenti sono quelli della conoscenza e del rilievo mediante l’impiego di tecniche integrate volte alla codificazione di metodologie iterabili
Le strade romane come elementi ordinatori del territorio flegreo. Tracce e persistenze della Regina Viarum. The roman roads as ordering elements of the philegrean territory. Traces and persistence of the Regina Viarum.
No full text“The Romans were enlightened legislators, Big colonizers, skilled Entrepreneurs. Chosen a place to settle down at the intersection of two streets, on the banks of a river, traced with ruler and square the typical plant of the straight city. They wanted the city had one defined pattern, tidy, extremely clear, they wanted to orientate and go at ease. The straight line well suited to the severe nature of the Romans”. In these terms, Le Corbusier refers to the work of the Romans for which it is the "straight line" that becomes the rule ordering not only the forma urbis but also of road layouts and viae stratae, that will be implemented from the fourth century BC. The intent of this essay is to trace and outline, through the ancient paths, a cognitive journey to investigate the techniques and the works of the ancient people: representation of deep knowledge, manifesto, even today, of courageous policies, large programs and deep expertise. From the Regina Viarum, the The Appian Way, we start to discover traces of viae who ruled the connections in the Phlegraean area, identifying layout configuration of Domitiana and Puteolana viae
DIGITAL SURVEYS AND 3D RECONSTRUCTIONS FOR AUGMENTED ACCESSIBILITY OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE
Full text linkThis paper presents part of the results of a larger research project that focused on the surveying and documenting of
Roman theatres and amphitheatres in the Campania region as well as the testing of a virtual fruition system for the digital reconstruction
of a case study: the Roman theatre of Benevento. The work was carried out by the research group at the Interdepartmental Urban/Eco
Research Centre of the University of Naples Federico II in collaboration with Spinvector, a company specialized in ICT – Information
and Communication Technology – which lead to the defining of a fruition system of Cultural Heritage applied to archaeological
heritage.
The project included 3D digital surveys of the study samples carried out using reality-based techniques, which allowed for the
acquisition of metric, morphological, geometric and colorimetric data. This made it possible to elaborate three-dimensional models,
based on the current configuration of the places as well as of the possible original reconfigurations
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
