Italian foreign communities as a new political subject: voting rights and cultural representation
No full textNowadays the history of Italian emigration represents the texture of our collettive memory, expressing its importance in all fields: essays, media and above all in politics. Actually it is facing a revival of the italian culture abroad, forgotten for a long time, so that even the higest offices of the government are celebrating Italian emigrants as a cultural resource for the nation both in the past when they could help us to rise the State after the Second World War and in the present for their huge role at the last elections. Many sociologists studied this theme, showing how transnational italian culture changed also the homeland society, carrying in Italy monetary funds and new cultural matrices in a cultural mix of tradition and social shifting (Garbaccia, 2003). However it is necessary to deep which is now the relationship between Italian people abroad and Italy, which is their lifestyle and which is the importance they give to the voting right. Infact migration is changing too and we can find two main elements 1) migration experience appears now reversible and 2) a cultural ubiquity or cultural nomadism are estabilishing within migration processes. According to Bellah (1996), Italian community abroad can be described through lifestyle enclaves based on common sense of identity, though postmodernity is changing it, drawing a migrant profile defined by Maffesoli (2000) as a nomadic identity, typical of post-modernization.
Starting by a sociological approach based on the main migration theories and also considering a political point of view, our work aimed to study collective imagination surrounding italian identitity abroad expressed both by medias and communication on politics, but especially embodied by italian elected to represent the State in other countries. In this way a qualitative approach was chosen to understand the identity of italian migration through electoral vote, analyzing also elctoral campaigns and whether candidates used old or new technologies to communicate their voters.
The project followed five main steps:
1 - Individuation and study about theories and texts on external voting laws; associationism role; communication strategies, political newsmaking and new technologies; new italian migration ideal-types;
2 – Backgroud research in which the contest was defined by a statistics and sociographic point of view, to deep main themes and to choose the most suited tools for the following research;
3 – Data gathering:
a) more than 20 depth interviews to all external italian politicians elected all around the world (South America, USA) and in Europe (Germany, Swizerland, Austria, England, France);
b) gathering of electoral campaigns materials;
c) 5 focus groups between politicians and their staff;
4 - Data analisys;
5 - Draft of the research report.

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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
