Progetto critico: Francesco Moschini / Àlvaro Siza, una storia lunga trent'anni
No full textQuando a metà degli anni ’70 Moschini e Siza si incontrano a Roma, il primo sta per iniziare l’avventura della galleria AAM, mentre il secondo è un architetto maturo il cui riscontro internazionale è sempre più ampio. Siza ha già mostrato la sua capacità di contaminare modelli eterogenei in un impianto concettuale rigoroso, sorprendente ma indifferente alla coazione alla novità, e della sua capacità di dialogare con la tradizione architettonica del Novecento rinnovandola in originali sintesi, Siza ha già dato prova per esempio a Malagueira. Circa vent’anni dopo, Moschini coinvolge Siza nel Laboratorio progettuale che nel ‘94 AAM organizza per Cassino, incaricandolo della progettazione del Rettorato dell’Università, con cui Siza conferma la capacità della sua architettura di farsi fuoco urbano. Come appare sin dalle prime opere (ristorante Boa Nova, Piscine delle Maree), le architetture di Siza instaurano con i luoghi un rapporto mai ancillare: che si tratti di un contesto naturale (Leiça da Palmeira) o di un contesto storico (Santiago da Compostela), o di riannodare i fili di una perduta intensità urbana (a Cassino come a Berlino), è la sua architettura a costruire i luoghi, e non il contrario. La sua ricerca è un lavorio incessante sulla scaturigine delle forme, che si palesa nel disegno e nella scultura. Nel ‘99, a Milano AAM espone tutte le sculture di Siza: arcaiche e contratte come kouroi, le filiformi figure antropomorfe appartengono ad una dimensione ermetica, la cui laconicità di dettaglio non rimanda al primitivo, ma alla sfera laboriosamente conquistata dell’essenziale. Nel 2008, due mostre (Lecce, Acaya) sono per Moschini l’occasione di ripercorrere la continuità tematica, metodologica, linguistica e figurativa in cui abita l’intero itinerario di Siza, dall’espressionismo delle prime prove nella natia Matosinhos fino alle sperimentazioni più recenti (Padiglione ad Anyang, Fondazione Iberê Camargo), passando per alcune frecce poetiche (Chiesa di Marco de Canaveses, Museo d’Arte contemporanea a Porto, Padiglione di Lisbona) e per il repertorio delle case unifamiliari. Da quest’ultimo incontro con Siza, nasce la serie "Duetti/Duelli, partite a scacchi sul disegno”: a metà tra il divertissement virtuosistico e il flusso di coscienza figurativo, la serie mette in contatto generazioni di architetti e artisti attraverso il linguaggio comune del disegno, primo amore collezionistico di Moschini e da sempre sostanza del suo progetto critico
Disuguaglianza di genere e politiche di intervento in Puglia
No full textThis work is aimed at highlighting that gender inequality still exists in today's society, even in developed countries, where the woman is forced to fulfill the expectations of the roles that society imposes as a wife, mother and worker. Often having to take care of family members that prevent her from entering the workforce or in the event that she is already working, has difficulties in advancing in her career. Significant help can come from the Government, through the formulation of appropriate policies and interventions that aim to balance work and home, as the rewards in the workplace for women represent an antidote to depression and help to overcome stressful situations. Among the policies for intervention is the project promoted by the sixth province BaT, called MAFALDA, which stands for Measures in Favour of Action for Employment, Rights and Affectivity

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
