Vient de paraître : Paolo Cuttitta, Lo spettacolo del confine (Lampedusa)
No full textVient de paraître : Paolo Cuttitta, Lo spettacolo del confine. Lampedusa tra produzione e messa in scena della frontiera, Milano, Mimesis (Eterotopie), 2012 Questo libro spiega come un’isola possa essere trasformata in confine, e un confine in ribalta teatrale. L’isola è Lampedusa, di cui le politiche di controllo migratorio sviluppatesi nell’ultimo ventennio hanno esaltato il carattere di confine (la “confinità”) attraverso un lungo processo di “frontierizzazione” e, al tempo stesso, di spet..
‘Borderizing’ the Island. Setting and Narratives of the Lampedusa ‘Border Play’, Paolo Cuttitta
No full text‘Borderizing’ the Island. Setting and Narratives of the Lampedusa ‘Border Play’, Paolo Cuttitta, ACME, 2014, 13(2), 196-219 Abstract The island of Lampedusa is known as an EU border hotspot. Its high degree of ‘borderness’, though, is less the result of its geographical location than the product of a ‘borderization’ process carried out through specific policies, practices and discourses. The introduction explains what Lampedusa’s ‘borderness’ consists in: irregular landings and the changed ..
Introduzione a Il Mediterraneo, per una geografia critica della frontiera
No full textIl Mediterraneo è diventato sempre più un simbolo delle migrazioni; un confine allo stesso tempo fragile e invalicabile L’appiattimento del nesso tra confini e migrazioni, da una parte, ha impedito di mettere in primo piano la complessità dello spazio di frontiera mediterraneo; dall’altra, l’inasprimento del regime di controllo della mobilità nell’UE ha avuto forti ripercussioni sull’articolazione del discorso relativo alle frontiere e al loro attraversamento.
La sessione è articolata in tre panel: Ripensare il Mediterraneo come borderscape; Il Mediterraneo come frontiera delocalizzata: esternalizzazione e internalizzazione della gestione delle migrazioni; E l’Europa disumanizzò se stessa. Appello alle geografie mediterranee militanti
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
