Teatrologia e studi sulla pantomima
Get PDFNel quadro dell’interesse relativamente recente per il fenomeno performativo della pantomima antica, un ruolo importante è rivestito dal recente studio di Raffaella Viccei (Raffaella Viccei, L’immagine fuggente. Riflessioni teatrali sulla Alcesti di Barcellona, Edizioni di Pagina, Bari 2020). L’importanza che la monografia riveste è determinata da un duplice ordine di fattori: se per un verso la studiosa offre alla comunità scientifica uno studio completo ed esaustivo sull’Alcestis Barcinonen..
The bodies and places of emotions in Misericordia (2023) by Emma Dante
Get PDFIl film Misericordia (2023) di Emma Dante inizia con le scene della morte violenta di una giovane donna incinta e con la nascita di suo figlio. Le scene sono ambientate in una natura selvaggia che partecipa agli aventi anche emozionalmente. Morte e vita si alternano e intrecciano in tutto il film e mettono in moto una polifonia di emozioni che coinvolge in vario modo tutti i personaggi di Misericordia – a cominciare dal protagonista Arturo, da sua madre e dalle altre mamme, cioè le donne che hanno cresciuto Arturo con amore, dal padre –, i luoghi (mare, montagna, baraccopoli, e altro) e il mondo animale. L’articolo intende mettere in luce e analizzare le principali emozioni che attraversano corpi e luoghi nel film, le loro origini, cause, manifestazioni, conseguenze: ira, paura, disgusto, amore, tenerezza, gioia.The film Misericordia (2023) by Emma Dante begins with the scenes of the violent death of a young pregnant woman and the birth of her child: the scenes are set in a wild nature which also participates in the events emotionally. Death and life alternate and intertwine throughout the film and set in motion a polyphony of emotions that involves, in various ways, all the characters of Misericordia – starting with the protagonist Arturo, his mother and the other mothers, i.e. the women who lovingly raised Arturo, his father –, the places (sea, mountains, slum, and more) and the animal world. The paper sets out to highlight and analyse the main emotions that go through bodies and places in the film, their origins, causes, manifestations, consequences: anger, fear, disgust, love, tenderness, joy.
 
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
