    Il De cruce libri tres di Giusto Lipsio: una fonte iconografica fra l'Italia e la Spagna

    No full text
    The article highlights the role of Justus Lipsius's De cruce libri tres as a source for representations of crucifixions on the basis of the influence of Lipsian neo-stoic thought in the arts between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries through Lipsius's ties of friendship with Cesare Baronio and because of the presence of De cruce libri tres within numerous Italian libraries. In Spain, the popularity of Lipsian thought, is revealed by the presence of Justus Lipsius's complete works in the library of Count Duke Olivares and by iconographic references in some subjects commissioned from Ribera. Within the Sevillian context, moreover, Pacheco reveals himself to be a reader of Lipsius in defining his own theory on the iconography of the cross, later taken up in the paintings of Velázquez and Zurbarán

    La ricerca "Immaginare i Saperi: tutte le immagini di una biblioteca", richiede sul piano pratico e teoretico un lessico condiviso, un thesaurus che definisca i concetti di riferimento da applicare allo studio degli immaginari storici, nel caso specifico dell’immaginario potenziale di Francesco Maria II della Rovere, esplorabile attraverso la catalogazione e lo studio delle illustrazioni e delle immagini latenti contenute nei volumi della sua celebre Biblioteca di Casteldurante. Il presente contributo otre a dichiarare le basi teoriche del progetto, offre un thesaurus discusso e condiviso con i partecipanti alla ricerca mettendo a fuoco diversi concetti: dalle "immagini latenti", alle "Immagini affini", a quelle "ambigue", descrivendo il progesso di immaginazione attiva del lettore di oggi e le operazioni e i metodi di estrazione degli "immaginari storici

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 PDF
    We 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
