Dalla letteratura all'arte contemporanea: pensieri di un inesperto sui «Promessi sposi cancellati per venticinque lettori e dieci appestati» di Emilio Isgrò
No full textThe Promessi sposi cancellati per venticinque lettori e dieci appestati, made by conceptual artist Emilio Isgrò and first exposed in 2016, is both an artwork in itself and a means to understand Alessandro Manzoni’s novel in a new and unconventional way. Isgrò’s erasures of 35 copies of the 1840 edition of I promessi sposi prove to be a way of make words, and the absence of words, telling something unexpected
Integration between magnetic surveys and archaeological excavations: the case study Pava (Siena, Central Italy)
No full textThe archaeological site of Pava is located in the southern province of Siena,
(municipality of San Giovanni d’Asso). The location of the area, obtained through
the historical and archaeological studies of landscape, is part of the project
“Archaeological Map of Siena Province”, started in the 1990 with a collaboration
between the Department of Archaeology of University of Siena and the Province
of Siena. The researches made with the aim to asses the historical and
archaeological properties of the territory of San Giovanni d’Asso, have interested
a period between 2000 and 2004, with the results to locate about 260 historicalarchaeological
sites. Pava is one of the most important site among these.
In this area the scatter pottery allowed us to consider the site as a remarkable
complex probably linked to the ancient road. The chronology of the site covered a
time from the late (roman) republican-first imperial (I century b.C.-I century a.C.)
till the late roman phase (till VI century a.C.) The main interesting implication for
this site is contained in a document of Lombard time (714-715) where there is the
mention of a S. Pietro in Pava parish church (today inexistent). The site has been
studied analysing a set of vertical aerial photographs and making aerial surveys
from 2002 to 2004, with the aim to locate buried structures. Together with these
information, a large scale geophysical surveys, employing a differential magnetic
method, have been carried out
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
