“Pisa nova Hierusalem”. Le imitationes gerosolimitane e la sacralizzazione civica
No full textThis essay examines the phenomenon of "Jerusalemite imitations" and the process of civic sacralization in Pisa. Through a detailed examination of architectural, dedicatory, and cultual memories linked to the Holy Land, the author identifies two main types of sacralization: devotional and civic. The case of Pisa is analyzed in the context of the city's participation in the Crusades and Mediterranean politics, highlighting how Jerusalemite architectural structures and relics were used for both religious and political purposes. The analysis of key buildings such as the Holy Sepulchre, the chapel of Sant'Agata, and the Baptistery of San Giovanni, as well as the urban layout of the Jerusalemite imitations, shows how Pisa integrated symbols of the Holy Land into its civic and religious identity
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
Religiosae Mulieres e Mendicanti nella Lombardia bassomedievale
No full textIl contributo intende considerare le diverse forme di vita religiosa fenmminile ‘sine regula’ nella regione padana tra XIII e XV secolo. Giacomo da Vitry attesta l’ampia diffusione in ‘Lombardia’ di Umiliate (un sinonimo di religiosae mulieres), le quali si istituzionalizzarono in parte entro l’Ordine degli Umiliati e in parte, desiderando essere seguite dai frati degli Ordini mendicanti, confluirono nellle forme di vita regolare legate ai rispettivi Ordini.
A Milano, in particolare, fu notevole la presenza delle Domenicane, con ben nove case all’inizio del XIV secolo, un fenomeno facilitato dal fatto che esse avevano in precedenza assunto la regola di s. Agostino, la stessa seguita dai frati. Con il XV secolo gli aneliti di rinnovamento legati all’Osservanza, soprattutto a quella francescana, indussero le religiose a ricercare nella regola di s. Chiara una via originale di riforma, talora anche in contrasto con i frati Minori Osservanti, come consente di cogliere il caso del monastero di S. Lucia a Foligno.The paper will consider the different forms of women’s religious life ' sine regula ' in the Lombardy between the 13th and 15th centuries. Jacques of Vitry attests to the wide dissemination in this area of the female component of the Humiliati (like synonym of religiosae mulieres ). These women found her institutionalization into the Order of the Humiliati and sometimes, wanting to be assisted by the friars of the mendicant Orders, they merged with the forms of regular life related to their orders. Particularly in Milan the presence of the Dominican Sisters was remarkable, with nine houses at the beginning of the 14th century, a phenomenon facilitated by the fact that they had previously assumed the rule of s. Augustine, the same followed by the friars. By the 15th century the yearnings of renewal connected with the Osservanza, especially the Franciscan Observance, led the religious to look in the rule of s. Chiara an original path of reform, sometimes even at odds with the Friars Minor, as show the case of the monastery of St. Lucia in Foligno
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
Fermenti religiosi, impegno per il bene e rinnovamento delle istituzioni agli inizi del XX secolo. Otto lettere del barnabita Alessandro Ghignoni a Tommaso Gallarati Scotti
No full textIl saggio pubblica otto lettere inedite del barnabita Alessandro Ghignoni a Tommaso Gallarati Scotti, e mette in luce uno dei nodi della rete a maglie fitte che teneva insieme alcuni degli esponenti più in vista del cattolicesimo italiano di inizio secolo XX. In quegli anni il Ghignoni si impegnò nell'interessante e poco noto tentativo di dare vita ad un piccolo collegio per orfani a Venezia, secondo un originale progetto che si distaccava dalla tradizione dei grandi collegi della sua congregazione, e cercò di coinvolgere nel progetto il nobile milanese.The essay publishes eight unpublished letters of the barnabita Alessandro Ghignoni to Tommaso Gallarati Scotti, and highlights one of the knots in the dense mesh network that held together some of the most prominent exponents of Italian Catholicism in the early twentieth century. In those years, Ghignoni engaged in the interesting and little known attempt to create a small college for orphans in Venice, according to an original project that was detached from the tradition of the great colleges of his congregation, and tried to involve Gallarati Scotti in the project
