Ontologia fondamentale e metaontologia. Una interpretazione di Heidegger a partire dal 'Kantbuch'
Full text linkIl mio lavoro si concentra sul pensiero di Martin Heidegger, così come esso si presenta all’incirca tra gli anni ‘25 e ’39 del Novecento, nelle opere e nelle lezioni universitarie. Tema centrale di questi anni è la riscoperta di Kant, il quale assume per la riflessione heideggeriana un ruolo primario di confronto sulla questione della “metafisica”. A partire da un’analisi puntuale del Kantbuch è mio interesse indagare il significato di una ontologia fondamentale che si richiami alla filosofia trascendentale. Questo al fine di seguire Heidegger nella sua argomentazione che muove da una ripresa della metaphysica generalis, intesa nella sua interpretazione della Critica della ragione pura come “fondazione” della metafisica, verso l’interrogazione sulle possibilità di una metaphysica specialis come metaontologia. Se infatti già per Kant prima di giungere ai temi della metaphysica specialis è necessario sottoporre la metaphysica generalis e l’intero processo conoscitivo umano a un’analisi trascendentale, sarà importante comprendere che cosa la prima significhi qualora la stessa metaphysica generalis venga ricompresa come ontologia fondamentale, ossia come rapporto dell’esserci con l’ente sempre disposto sulla base di una preliminare comprensione d’essere
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
Conflitto e insufficienza a partire da Ehrenberg. L’etica dinanzi alle odierne “patologie della libertà”
Full text linkRiassunto: In questo scritto affrontiamo la riflessione del sociologo francese Alain Ehrenberg sul tema della soggettività e della depressione, nel passaggio dalla modernità alla postmodernità. Questo al fine di estrapolare una considerazione più generale sul cambiamento di concezione dell’individuo e sulle sue difficoltà attuali nell’affrontare una nuova istituzione di sé che parte dall’acquisita libertà e ricade nelle patologie della stessa, appunto le “patologie della libertà”. La nostra analisi prende le mosse dal libro di Ehrenberg La fatica di essere se stessi. Depressione e società, dove la depressione svolge la funzione di piattaforma girevole che consente all’autore di affrontare le progressive modificazioni della soggettività nel corso della storia recente, quantomeno nelle società avanzate occidentali. In particolare, recupereremo la distinzione tra il paradigma janetiano dell’insufficienza e quello freudiano del conflitto, evidenziando come il primo si riveli maggiormente rappresentativo dell’individuo nella postmodernità, rispetto al secondo che ha caratterizzato la modernità. Una volta definito questo mutamento nel rapporto soggetto-malattia, nell’idea di guarigione e nella relazione con la società, giungeremo a vedere la depressione come quella malattia identitaria cronica propria della postmodernità, cui corrisponde il contraltare patologico della dipendenza. In accordo a questa caratterizzazione duplice del soggetto postmoderno, mai abbastanza se stesso e compulsivamente legato ad altro, affronteremo infine la questione di una nuova concezione dell’etica che corrisponda alla necessità individuale di non basarsi più sui doveri e sulle costrizioni ma sull’iniziativa e la libertà, senza potersi però completamente estraniare dal piano sociale (e naturale), pena la perdita del mondo e l’ulteriore caduta nel binomio depressione-dipendenza.Parole chiave: Conflitto; Insufficienza; Patologie della libertà; Depressione; Dipendenza Conflict and insufficiency starting with Ehrenberg. Ethics in the face of today’s “Pathologies of freedom”Abstract: In this paper, we address the reflection of the French sociologist Alain Ehrenberg on the theme of subjectivity and depression in the transition from modernity to postmodernity. Our goal is to extrapolate a broader consideration on the changing conception of the individual and their current difficulties in shaping a new selfhood – one that begins with newly acquired freedom and results in its own pathologies, precisely the “pathologies of freedom”. Our analysis begins with Ehrenberg’s book The weariness of the self: Diagnosing the history of depression in the contemporary age, where depression plays the role of a revolving platform that allows the author to address the progressive modifications of subjectivity in the course of recent history, at least in advanced Western societies. In particular, we revisit the distinction between the Janetian paradigm of insufficiency and the Freudian one of conflict, highlighting how the former proves to be more representative of the individual in postmodernity, compared to the latter, which characterized modernity. Once this shift is defined – in the subject-illness relationship, in the idea of healing, and in the relationship with society –we come to see depression as that chronic identity illness typical of postmodernity, corresponding to the pathological counterpart of addiction. In line with this dual characterization of the postmodern subject, never enough in themself and compulsively tied to something else, we will finally address the issue of a new conception of ethics. This new ethics must respond to the individual need to base their identity not on duties and constraints, but on initiative and freedom, without, however, becoming entirely detached from the social (and natural) realm, at the risk of losing one’s place in the world and further falling into the depression-addiction binomial.Keywords: Conflict; Insufficiency; Pathologies of Freedom; Depression; Addictio
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
