Tre istituti coesivi nella poesia di Giorgio Orelli
No full textIl contributo propone una discussione ravvicinata di tre figure coesive disseminate nell’opera poetica di Giorgio Orelli, dalla raccolta L’ora del tempo (1962) all’ultima silloge sorvegliata dall’autore Il collo dell’anitra (2001): le catene allitterative e la ripetizione diffusa entro le poesie di singoli nessi consonantici o sillabici, vera e propria firma fono-ritmica della poesia orelliana; la rima, esaminata nelle sue manifestazioni coesivo-strutturanti in punta di verso e discussa in relazione al panorama novecentesco e allo scarto rispetto alle sue funzioni tradizionali; l’anafora a distanza, analizzata con riguardo alla sua capacità di incidere sulla coesione e sull'architettura organizzativa dei testi poetici
‘Una verità totale’: The Textual and Visual Encounter With the Other in Franco Fortini’s Asia Maggiore. Viaggio nella Cina
No full textThe article explores the photo-textual form of Franco Fortini’s Asia Maggiore. Viaggio nella Cina, the travel account published in 1956 following the writer’s trip to socialist China in 1955. I will discuss the interaction between the photographs taken by the author during the journey and the text. The issue of the literary genre will also be examined, investigating the nature of the travel journal as a combination of both a descriptive account and an autobiographical diary. I will then discuss how this photo-textual blend functions both theoretically – by analysing the nature of the photographic medium in relation with the text – and practically – by providing examples of the ekphrastic interaction of the two media in Fortini’s icastic depiction of colours and crowds. The allegorical value of the account of socialist China is then brought into question, with particular focus on the use of comparison as an argumentative strategy
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
I cani del Sinai di Franco Fortini: un profilo stilistico
No full textThe essay displays a stylistic reading of Franco Fortini’s I cani del Sinai (1967). It will look at the problematic issue of the literary genre of the book, which combines debate with features of autobiographical writings and of the diary with elements typical of the essay, resulting in an impossibility to properly classify the text. The two different syntactic patterns that inhabit the book will then be investigated, looking at a short and dry type of syntax and a longer and more elaborated one. Regarding thematic and lexical facts, I will discuss the presence of the two important semantic spheres of memory and knowledge and of guilt and shame. In the last part of the essay, the figures of repetition will be analysed, together with the figures of enumeration and correctio, showing each time the function that they perform in the text.Il saggio propone una lettura stilistica de I cani del Sinai di Franco Fortini (1967). Si discuterà dapprima la complessa questione del genere letterario del libro, che unisce invettiva, autobiografismo, diarismo e saggismo all’interno di una forma organica, ma non catalogabile secondo criteri univoci. In secondo luogo si osserveranno i due distinti modelli di sintassi che attraversano il libro: l’uno secco, telegrafico e a tendenza nominale; l’altro lungo e ricco di incisi. Sul versante tematico e lessicale, si guarderà alla presenza diffusa dei verbi di memoria e di conoscenza e di una sfera semantica legata alla colpa e alla vergogna. Nell’ultima parte del saggio verranno quindi analizzate le forme di ripetizione insieme alle figure della correctio e dell’enumerazione, discutendo le funzioni che di volta in volta queste assumono nel testo
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
