La scultura a rilievo romana
No full textÈ soprattutto nella scultura a rilievo che si può trovare qualcosa di veramente ‘originale’ nell’arte romana. Qui più che in altri ambiti della produzione artistica, pur prendendo le mosse dalla tradizione greca, furono raggiunti traguardi nuovi nella tipologia dei monumenti, nei soggetti, nello stile e anche nella tecnica di esecuzione. Tuttavia questa forma di espressione figurativa era sempre animata da una prioritaria esigenza comunicativa, perché alle immagini a rilievo era affidata la rappresentazione di determinati messaggi e contenuti (ad esempio la vittoria militare per gli imperatori o il successo personale per i privati), che i loro committenti desideravano trasmettere nella maniera più chiara e incisiva possibile. Nonostante l’importanza basilare che riveste per la conoscenza della civiltà artistica romana, la scultura a rilievo non ha mai ricevuto un’approfondita trattazione d’insieme, che la ripercorresse specificamente in tutti i suoi campi d’applicazione, dagli esordi repubblicani fino agli ultimi esiti della tarda età imperiale. Con questo libro se ne propone ora uno studio completo, corredato di un apparato iconografico senza precedenti per ampiezza e capillarità.It is above all in relief sculpture that something truly 'original' can be found in Roman art. Here more than in other areas of artistic production, while taking inspiration from the Greek tradition, new goals were achieved in the typology of monuments, in the subjects, in the style and also in the execution technique. However, this form of figurative expression was always animated by a primary communicative need, because the relief images were entrusted with the representation of certain messages and contents (for example military victory for emperors or personal success for private individuals), which their clients wanted to convey in the clearest and most incisive way possible. Despite the basic importance it has for the knowledge of Roman artistic civilization, relief sculpture has never received an in-depth overall treatment, which specifically covered it in all its fields of application, from its republican beginnings to the last outcomes of the late imperial age. With this book we now propose a complete study of it, accompanied by an iconographic apparatus unprecedented in breadth and capillarity
L’interesse per l’antico e i riflessi delle scoperte vesuviane nella Palermo di epoca borbonica
No full textGli scavi borbonici a Ercolano e Pompei trovarono echi significativi, finora meno studiati, anche in Sicilia, e in particolare a Palermo. Le antichità vesuviane cominciarono a essere conosciute nell’isola soprattutto durante i due soggiorni che re Ferdinando IV era stato costretto a trascorrere nella capitale siciliana, in seguito all’invasione francese del Regno di Napoli. Poiché la corte borbonica non aveva voluto privarsi delle sue collezioni di antichità negli anni dell’esilio, una buona parte di esse aveva temporaneamente seguito il sovrano. Nello stesso periodo, l’interesse per l’antico coltivato dalla famiglia reale ebbe modo di manifestarsi anche per altre vie. Nelle decorazioni parietali della Palazzina Cinese nel Parco della Favorita, ma anche in altri palazzi palermitani, cominciarono ad affiorare motivi desunti dal repertorio figurativo che gli scavi vesuviani avevano rivelato. Tali spunti, tuttavia, erano in larga misura reinventati e filtrati attraverso un’ottica neoclassica. Anche dopo il loro ritorno a Napoli, i sovrani borbonici si impegnarono per mantenere Palermo “aggiornata” sulle scoperte che si andavano effettuando nel Regno. Al fine di arricchire le collezioni museali della locale Università, lotti cospicui di materiali originali furono inviati come doni regali: sculture, pitture, reperti mobili e calchi in gesso. Questi ultimi, in particolare, rappresentavano una sorta di antologia delle raccolte di scultura conservate nel Museo di Napoli, ma riproducevano soprattutto le più notevoli scoperte archeologiche del Regno delle Due Sicilie.The Bourbon archaeological excavations at Herculaneum and Pompeii found some significant echoes, little studied so far, also in Sicily, and particularly in Palermo. The Vesuvian antiquities began to appear on the island chiefly during the two stays King Ferdinand IV was forced to spend in the Sicilian capital owing to the French invasion of his kingdom. The Bourbon Court did not want to deprive itself of its antiquities during the exile; therefore, it temporarily took along a part of its collections. In the same period, the interest in the Antique, and in the Vesuvian archaeological situation specifically, appeared in Palermo in other ways too. In the wall decorations of the Palazzina Cinese in the Favorita Park, but of other town houses as well, motifs gathered from the Pompeii and Herculaneum figurative repertoire began to appear. These motifs, nevertheless, seem to a large extent to be reinvented and filtered through the contemporary neoclassical taste. Even after their return to Naples, the rulers applied
themselves to keep Palermo “updated” about the archaeological
novelties of their kingdom. In order to enlarge the local University
museum collections, a considerable number of original materials
were sent as royal gifts: sculptures, paintings, movable finds and plaster casts. The latter, particularly, accounted for a sort of anthology
of the sculpture collections in the Museum of Naples, but above all reflected the most noteworthy archaeological discoveries in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies
Archi di ispirazione romana nei monumenti fascisti della Grande Guerra
Full text linkL’arco di origine antico-romana è un motivo che ha beneficiato di una lunga fortuna nell’architettura e nell’arte di età moderna.
Questa tipologia ha goduto di una particolare predilezione in Italia durante il periodo fascista, trovando un campo d’applicazione privilegiato nei monumenti dedicati ai caduti della Grande Guerra. In tali circostanze, l’arco recuperava enfaticamente la valenza onoraria e trionfale ad esso correlata nei modelli antichi, i quali fornivano una diretta ispirazione agli architetti delle nuove opere commemorative e ai loro committenti. Uno speciale significato acquistava l’impiego dell’arco nei monumenti eretti nei luoghi stessi dei combattimenti della Prima Guerra Mondiale, spesso in prossimità dell’originaria linea del fronte, dove questa forma architettonica era introdotta deliberatamente, col fine di ribadire l’italianità dei territori di recente conquista.The arch of ancient Roman origin is a motif which obtained a long fortune in the architecture and art of modern and contemporary age.
This typology gained a particular predilection in Italy during the fascist period, finding a preferential field of application in the memorials to the casualties of World War I. In such circustances, the arch emphatically recovered the honorary and triumphal value devoted to it in many ancient models, which supplied a direct inspiration to the architects of the new commemorative monuments and to the authorities interested in the works. A special meaning was ascribed to the arches on the same places of the fights of World War I, often near the original line of the front, where this architectural form was deliberately introduced in order to stress the Italianness of the newly conquered territories

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
