La produzione dell'antiziganismo nei discorsi dei politici dell'Italia contemporanea
No full textAnti-Gypsyism can be contrasted, but it must first be unveiled, identified and described. The lack of elaboration of anti-Gypsyism as a particular form of racism allows it to persist, to be constantly and uncritically reproduced, not only in the common sense and by the media, but also in political and institutional discourses and actions, and in taxonomies and practices of state bureaucracy. The aim of this article is to reflect on the weight of Italian politicians hate speech in the construction of everyday anti-Gypsyism, to contribute in unveiling, deconstructing and contrasting it
Discorsi pubblici su rom e sinti in Italia: un esempio di dangerous speech?
No full textLa domanda iniziale da cui parte questo saggio è se i discorsi pubblici su rom e sinti nell’Italia contemporanea possono essere definiti come dangerous speech. Alla luce di quanto analizzato in questo saggio possiamo concludere con una risposta affermativa. La fragilità dei rom e dei sinti in quanto soggetti razzializzati in Italia non è certo una novità, tuttavia i processi contemporanei di normalizzazione e detabuizzazione del discorso razzista a livello politico e istituzionale ancor prima che a livello mediatico e popolare aumenta di fatto il rischio concreto di violenze anche fisiche nei loro confronti. Tutto ciò rende ancora più urgente e necessario un lavoro di prevenzione dell’antiziganismo in Italia, a partire da ricerche e contributi che portino maggiori consapevolezze sul fenomeno

Chapter Resistenze e storie di rom e sinti per costruire insieme la memoria collettiva
Full text linkThe contribution aims at discussing the word "Resistenza" in the framework of the life of the communities sinti and rom, between present and past decades. On one side the paper aims at highlighting the contribution rom and sinti gave to Resistance and ti-fascist movement, on the other side it shows sinti and rom's resistance against prejudices and stereotypes which determine their present. The riappropriation of their communitarian history as their national history can be considered as a powerful tool for building people's identity as citizens and it marks a path toward sharing and inclusion
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
