Resurrezione o rivoluzione? Le reciproche influenze linguistiche e terminologiche tra nasserismo e baathismo alla vigilia della Repubblica Araba Unita (1952-1958)
Full text linkThis paper aims to study the Baathist-Nasserist dialogue occurred in the years preceding the establishment of the United Arab Republic (1952-1958). After providing a historical overview of the evolution of Arab nationalism, this study tries to understand the mutual ideological influences and differences between Baʿathist and Nasserite terminology. In addition, it discusses the effects of such dialogue within the ideological and political context. The research relies on a thorough analysis of Arabic primary sources, from the writings of Baʿath founders to ʿAbd al-Nāṣir’s speeches and writings. Keywords such as “revolution”, “struggle”, “socialism” and “Arabism” will be analyzed and compared. By examining the most relevant conceptual issues from a linguistic and historical perspective, this paper aims to enrich the already existing field of studies about the historical and ideological reassessment of the UAR and, more broadly, of the so called “secular” pan-Arab movements.This paper aims to study the Baathist-Nasserist dialogue occurred in the years preceding the establishment of the United Arab Republic (1952-1958).

Il tramonto delle aspirazioni unioniste dei Ba?th iracheno e siriano
No full textThis contribution aims to analyze the unionist efforts between Syria and Iraq carried
out by the Baʿth in the name of Pan-Arabism. Although motivated by solid historical
and cultural reasons, such ambitious projects proved to be weak and inconsistent,
contributing to the eventual failure of the imagined Pan-Arab state. After discussing
the crucial role of proto-nationalist movements in the region of Dayr el-Zor and the
ideological debate, the essay will investigate the emergence of the Pan-Arab movement
in Iraq during the interwar period, as well as the rise of the Baʿth both in Syria
and in Iraq. In particular, the analysis will delve into the party’s position on the main
unionist projects emerged between the 1940s and the 1950s: the Fertile Crescent and
the short-lived United Arab Republic. In conclusion, this essay will examine the last
Baʿthist attempt to unify the Arab world, specifically the 1963 Tripartite Agreements
between Iraq, Syria and Egypt, and the 1978 Charter of Joint National Action between
Baghdad and Damascus
IL PARTITO BA'TH SIRIANO. DAL DIBATTITO IDEOLOGICO DELLE ORIGINI ALL'ESPERIENZA DI GOVERNO (1947-1966)
No full textIl Baʿth, o Partito della Resurrezione Araba Socialista (PRAS), è considerato dalla pubblicistica uno dei più importanti movimenti politici a matrice non religiosa del mondo arabo del XX secolo. Esso si fece promotore di un progetto rivoluzionario, quasi utopico: l’unificazione del mondo arabofono in unico stato regolato da un’economia di stampo socialista. Il presente studio intende ripercorrere l’evoluzione del partito da un punto di vista politico e ideologico, analizzando il corpus letterario prodotto da fondatori e iscritti, le sue particolarità e le criticità e, infine, le conseguenze che tali idee e teorie ebbero sul partito e sulla politica siriana. Dopo aver esaminato il milieu storico e culturale in cui si formarono i concetti pivotali del baathismo, nazionalismo e socialismo, la ricerca si concentrerà dapprima sulla nascita dei movimenti proto-baathisti e, in seguito, sull’evoluzione del corpus ideologico e della struttura partitica interna. Verrà successivamente data attenzione ai mutamenti dell’apparato teorico nel “periodo nasserista” della Repubblica Araba Unita (1958-1961) e durante gli anni Sessanta, quando al fallimento del progetto unionista si aggiunse la competizione intra-baathista. La dimensione storica verrà completata con un’analisi storiografica che proporrà e discuterà nuove suddivisioni delle stagioni del PRAS. Verrà approfondita anche la terminologia politica, sulla base e lo spoglio delle fonti primarie in lingua araba.The Baʿth, or Arab Socialist Resurrection Party, is considered to be one of the most important non-religious political movements in the Arab world of the 20st century. It promoted a revolutionary, almost utopic, project: the unification of the Arab-speaking territories in a single state.
The present study aims to explain the evolution of the Baʿth from a political and ideological point of view, analyzing the party literature written by the founders and members, highlighting its main characteristics, the critical points and, finally, the impact that these ideas and theories had on party and Syria political course. After examining the historical and ideological milieu in which the pivotal concepts of Baathism, nationalism and socialism, developed, the research will first focus on the birth of proto-Baathist movements, and then on the evolution of the ideological corpus and party structure. The thesis will also investigate the changes in the theoretical apparatus occurred both during the “Nasserist period” of the United Arab Republic (1958-1961) and in the 1960s, when intra-Baathist competition escalated after the failure of the unionist project.
The historical dimension will be completed with a historiographical analysis that will propose and discuss new subdivisions of the PRAS seasons. Political terminology will also be explored on the basis and the analysis of primary sources in Arabic
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
