Lanino: due volti per San Magno
No full textIl presente contributo esamina due disegni di Bernardino Lanino – una testa maschile e una femminile della Biblioteca Reale di Torino – ponendoli in relazione al ciclo di affreschi nella basilica di San Magno a Legnano. Tale rapporto è discusso sulla base di un’inedita campagna fotografica e nell’ambito degli studi per un volume monografico dedicato alla basilica, a cura di Pietro C. Marani, di prossima pubblicazione
Leonardo: arte come progetto. Studi di storia e critica d’arte in onore di Pietro C. Marani
Full text linkParadigma del "progetto dell'arte", la figura di Leonardo da Vinci è in questo volume considerata in un'ottica multidisciplinare da parte di una platea internazionale di specialisti. L'intento è stato quello di offrire un aggiornamento su un ampio ventaglio di temi leonardeschi di ambito artistico, scientifico e di fortuna critica

Il cielo di Leonardo e uno Zodiaco dantesco.
No full textAll'interno di un volume internazionale di studi (Oxford University; Universität Hamburg, Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florenz; Politecnico di Milano: Metropolitan Museum of Art; The National Gallery London; Opificio delle Pietre Dure; Musée du Louvre; Centre de Recherche et de Restauration des Muées de France; Civici Musei del Castello Sforzesco di Milano; Ente Raccolta Vinciana; Galleria degli Uffizi; Royal Collections Windsor), il contributo prende in esame uno schema di meccanica celeste contenuto nel f. 956 recto del Codice Atlantico risalente all'incirca al 1478-80, alla fine del primo periodo fiorentino di Leonardo. Attraverso lo studio comparato di analoghi disegni di orologi planetari e ruote dentate di mulini, e attraverso un'approfondita indagine filologica sulla terminologia utilizzata dal vinciano a commento del disegno, si perviene a identificare una fortissima compatibilità tra il meccanismo ivi tracciato e una terzina del "Purgatorio" dantesco che designa il cerchio dello Zodiaco. Secondo un'interpretazione del passo minoritaria ma di alto profilo (il "Comentum" di Pietro Alighieri), la perifrasi tecnica adoperata da Dante risulta identica a quella di Leonardo, che potrebbe dunque averla derivata dal testo della "Commedia"
Mona Lisa Opens Reign over U.S.
No full textThis essay addresses the Mona Lisa’s loan to the United States and its exhibition in Washington DC and New York in 1963. It focuses on exhibition and display criteria and their subsequent impact on the American public. Based on archival documents, contemporary chronicles, and visitors’ comments, it discusses the way a single exhibition process (under Presidential guardianship) resulted in two different arrangements: a formal display modeled after celebrated European museums and an evocative arrangement fueling visitors’ imagination. It finally assesses how the museum event turned into a crowd-catcher, establishing a 50-year trend
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
