Sulla fondazione politica. Anarchia e istituzioni
No full textL’Almanacco di Filosofia e Politica è un laboratorio di ricerca sulla prassi istituente, concepita come movimento di strutturazione politica dei conflitti sociali. Da un lato, questa ricerca prende le distanze dalle categorie della teologia politica, confrontandosi con la materialità della storia e con i suoi conflitti. Dall’altro lato, essa registra le difficoltà delle filosofie che hanno sostenuto l’assoluta autonomia e immanenza del sociale, affrontando il problema dell’ordine politico.
Il quinto numero è dedicato alla categoria di fondazione, intesa come figura dell’invenzione e della trasformazione istituzionale. Tale tema emerge da un insieme di tendenze che attraversano il capitalismo contemporaneo, ci invita a tornare sul problema del fondamento delle istituzioni e apre una pista d’indagine sulla forma che le lotte per il cambiamento radicale del presente possono assumere. Con prospettive e risorse teoriche multiformi, i diversi contributi discutono e problematizzano l’antinomia, a un tempo ontologica e politica, tra anarchia e istituzioni. Essi inaugurano così una riflessione sulla spinta anarchica immanente grazie alla quale le istituzioni nascono, cambiano e muoiono. La prima sezione ospita i contributi di Roberto Esposito, Catherine Malabou, Frédéric Lordon, Chiara Bottici e Martin Saar. La seconda è dedicata ai lavori del Seminario Permanente di Filosofia e Politica della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa e contiene i saggi di Andrea Di Gesu e Paolo Missiroli, Francesca Monateri, Matteo Pagan, Gabriele Parrino, Valentina Surace, Massimo Villani e Carlo Crosato. Nell’Archivio, trovano infine spazio un testo inedito di Reiner Schürmann e uno di Miguel Abensour
Critica dell’economia politica o analitica dei poteri. Punti di eresia tra Marx e Foucault
Full text linkThe thesis is dedicated to a comparative reading of the thought of Karl Marx and Michel Foucault. By putting these authors in to dialogue, the thesis questions the allegded divergence and the consequent alternative choice between the two theoretical frameworks that are usually associated with their thought: the divergence between the Marxian «critique of political economy» and the Foucauldian «analytics of powers». Beginning with a critical reconstruction of some contemporary attempts to articulate Marx’s and Foucault’s thoughts, the thesis defends the idea that, without a clarification of the relationship between their concepts, any articulation is necessarily aporetic. The research thus aims to make such a clarification by overcoming supposed antinomies dividing certain Foucauldian and Marxian concepts. Starting from the similarities between Foucault’s and Marx’s practices of «inquiry», we move beyond false alternatives between the concepts of «power» and «exploitation», «norms» and «ideology», «subjectification» and «alienation». To surpass theses antinomies, we deploy the notion of «points of heresy», that has been introduced by Étienen Balibar to describe the Marx-Foucault relationship. Unlike Balibar, however, we propose to use this notion not to sever but to concatenate Marxian and Foucauldian concepts. We thus argue that reading Marx’s and Foucault’s texts in light of each other allows for the identification of several «heretical» insights within their respective theories, useful within contemporary debates in political philosophy and critical theory
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
Normatività come ideologia. Da Foucault a Marx ed Engels
No full textThe article argues that Michel Foucault’s frequently stated opposition between his “genealogy of norms” and the Marxist “critique of ideology” is, in many ways, unfounded. By analyzing some of his texts, I claim that Foucault’s objections to the critique of ideology conceal his creative use of Karl Marx’s and Friedrich Engels’ insights. To support this claim, I first identify some “Marxist echoes” in Foucault’s work. I then demonstrate that these echoes lead to original reformulations of the critique of ideology, which are not reducible to Louis Althusser’s theory of the “ideological apparatuses”. Thus, the article highlights that Foucault’s “genealogy of norms” is surprisingly connected to Marx’s and Engels’ hypotheses presented in the manuscripts known as The German Ideology.L’articolo sostiene che la presunta opposizione tra la “genealogia delle norme” di Foucault e la “critica dell’ideologia” marxista è per molti versi infondata. Analizzando alcuni suoi scritti, si argomenta che le obiezioni rivolte da Foucault alla critica marxista dell’ideologia nascondono in realtà un uso creativo di alcune tesi elaborate da Karl Marx e Friedrich Engels nel 1845. Nella prima parte, si individuano alcune “eco marxiste” nel lavoro di Foucault. Nella seconda, si mostra che queste eco conducono a delle originali riformulazioni della critica dell’ideologia, che Foucault declina come un’“analisi del discorso” irriducibile alla teoria degli “apparati ideologici” di Louis Althusser. In questo modo, l’articolo mette in luce che la “genealogia delle norme” di Foucault risulta sorprendentemente connessa all’approccio proposto da Marx ed Engels nei manoscritti pubblicati sotto il titolo di Ideologia tedesca
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
