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
Mitopoiesi del G8 di Genova
No full text«Genova 2001»: oltre le coordinate spaziali e temporali delle proteste contro il G8, si celano processi memoriali di una comunità eterogenea che continua a ricordare gli eventi di quei giorni. In questo saggio, le fonti orali relative alle interviste raccolte non sono analizzate nella prospettiva di riportare al presente memorie inascoltate del controvertice. L’obiettivo del testo, invece, è perlustrare il confine memoriale dell’evento analizzando come il ricordo venga reiterato oralmente, producendo molteplici temporalità. La seconda parte del testo, poi, esaminerà in profondità i quadri della memoria del G8 di Genova, mostrando le costellazioni di miti fondativi, le narrazioni plurali e temporalità del ricordo che collegano il 2001 con il presente dalle persone intervistate.« Gênes 2001 » : par-delà l’inscription dans l’espace et le temps des manifestations contre le G8, les processus mémoriels d’une communauté hétérogène continuent de revenir sur les événements de ces journées. Dans cet écrit, les sources orales relatives aux interviews recueillies ne sont pas analysées dans la perspective de ramener au présent des souvenirs inédits du contre-sommet. L’objectif du texte est plutôt d’explorer la frontière mémorielle de l’événement en analysant comment la mémoire est réitérée oralement, produisant des temporalités multiples. La seconde partie du texte examinera en détail les cadres mémoriels du G8 de Gênes, en montrant les constellations de mythes fondateurs, les récits pluriels et les temporalités de la mémoire qui relient l’année 2001 au présent par les personnes interviewées.“Genoa 2001”: beyond the spatial and temporal coordinates of the protests against the G8 summit, there are memorial processes of a heterogeneous community which continues to remember the events of those days. In this essay, oral sources related to the collected interviews are not analysed from the perspective of bringing back to the present unheard memories of the counter-summit. Instead, the aim of the essay is to scour the memorial boundary of the event by analysing how memory is reiterated orally, producing multiple temporalities. The second part of the text, will examine in depth the memory frameworks of the Genoa G8 Summit, showing the constellations of foundation myths, plural narratives and temporalities of remembrance linking 2001 with the present by people interviewed
Silences and voices of mediterranean crossings: (inter)subjectivity and empathy as research practice
Full text linkThis essay is dedicated to analyze the role of intersubjectivity in my oral research project with migrant people coming from or culturally connected to the Horn of Africa. In the past 5 years, I have interviewed people coming from Somalia, Ethiopia and Eritrea to Europe, men and women, differently aged. My goal was to study the postcolonial and diasporic memory, the journeys from the Horn of Africa to Europe, the relationship of migrant people with friends and parents in other parts of the world. In this paper, I point out my oral history research approach and the relevance of empathy during the interviews
