    Gli esiti di due workshop tenuti presso la Facoltà di design e arti della Libera Università di Bolzano in cui gli studenti si sono confrontati con esperienze progettuali legate al tema della città, dei suoi usi e della sua percezione

    Contro la prospettiva: monocentrismo individuale della visione

    No full text
    Giancarlo De Carlo, in the introduction to the volume Il Palazzo di Federico da Montefeltro, 1985, edited by Maria Luisa Polichetti, speaks of Luciano Laurana and Francesco di Giorgio Martini as the “spirits” of the Palazzo. We cannot help but imagine De Carlo himself as a presence for the city, always present and alive through his project. In L’architettura della partecipazione he exposes how often the representation of architecture does not include the people who live in it; a custom whose origins the author traces back to the “individual monocentric vision” of the Renaissance perspective. Based on this consideration eight internationally renowned photographers, Urbino ISIA teachers, tell the story of De Carlo’s work in Urbino. These images tell the story of De Carlo in Urbino today. What interests us is their potential as a lesson for the present. Paola Binante, Luca Capuano, Mario Cresci, Paola De Pietri, Jason Fulford, Stefano Graziani, Armin Linke, Giovanna Silva, explore and recount the nature of this lesson through photography. Alongside their multiple perspectives is the performative work, carried out by the graphic designer Patrick Lacey and the artist Ben Cain, with the ISIA students and the narrations developed by the students of the Iuav University of Venice, together with Armin Linke, using photographic material from the archives. Besides curators’ texts, this book includes contributions by Roberta Valtorta, with respect to the long-term relationship between architecture and photography, by Mirko Zardini, on De Carlo’s relationship with the city of Urbino, and by Sara Marini, on the architect’s textual production

    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

    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

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    We 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
