"L'architettura a Bologna nel Rinascimento" (1899) di Francesco Malaguzzi Valeri
No full textAll’epoca della pubblicazione (1899), il libro di Malaguzzi Valeri segnò un risultato straordinario e senza precedenti negli studi locali, e con pochi rivali in altre città italiane. Basata su ricerche d’archivio ampie e originali condotte per un decennio, l’opera, che ebbe a modello i grandi studiosi europei (quali Jacob Burckhardt ed Eugéne Müntz) fornì una trattazione completa, nuova ed attendibile, non solo per i monumenti celebri, ma anche per i numerosi edifici e gli architetti fino ad allora praticamente esclusi dalla letteratura storico-artistica. L’indagine sulla genesi e sviluppo del volume è stata condotta su due fronti: da un lato la revisione critica degli scritti pubblicati dallo studioso nel decennio precedente (più di trenta), dall’altro la lettura dei vari epistolari inediti che ha permesso di ripercorrere le tappe fondamentali della sua ampia e complessa formazione
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
Entrare nell’opera: riflessioni sull’architettura dipinta nella pala riminese di san Giuliano (1409) di Bitino da Faenza | Entering the work: reflections on the painted architecture in the Rimini altarpiece of san Giuliano (1409) by Bitino da Faenza
No full textTroppo spesso l’architettura dipinta è vista come sfondo, come riempitivo dello spazio, con un ruolo passivo o, nella migliore delle ipotesi, come supporto di un messaggio contenuto nell’opera. Bitino (Faenza, 1370?-Rimini, 1422?), originario di Faenza, ma attivo a Rimini nel periodo di massimo splendore della signoria dei Malatesta (Tambini 2002/2010), dimostra di conoscere la forza innovativa dell’uso non solo simbolico dell’architettura dipinta, nel solco della tradizione giottesca. Dopo aver delineato l’ambito culturale entro il quale l’artista opera, lo studio analizza da un punto di vista inedito gli edifici che dipinge nel 1409 nella pala con la Passione di San Giuliano, conservata presso la chiesa omonima riminese: si tratta di architetture che hanno permesso di ricostruire alcuni importanti scorci della città di Rimini, ormai scomparsi, quali l’ex cattedrale medievale di Santa Colomba con le sue decorazioni e il suo intorno e la stessa chiesa benedettina di San Giuliano. Gli elementi architettonici descritti in maniera realistica e dettagliata risultano in sintonia con il clima riformistico che da lì a poco Ludovico Barbo promuoverà̀ presso i monaci benedettini, suggerendo una moderna devotio che prevedeva di accostarsi alla preghiera evocando mentalmente le immagini (Leclercq 1984). Circa negli stessi anni in cui Barbo scrive il Modus meditandi et orandi, Leon Battista Alberti esalta nel De Pictura la “forza del vedere” attraverso la forma narrativa dell’”istoria”, necessaria a “far provare emozioni” con i gesti dei personaggi raffigurati che interagiscono tra di loro e con l’ambiente circostante (Di Stefano 2020). Bitino, nel dipanare la sua “istoria”, pur non conoscendo ancora il metodo prospettico albertiano, sviluppa un carattere fortemente originale nel tentativo di “fingere quello che si vede” .All too often painted architecture is seen as a background, as a space filler, with a passive role or, at best, as a support for a message contained in the work. Bitino (Faenza, 1370?-Rimini, 1422?), originally from Faenza, but active in Rimini during the heyday of the Malatesta seigniory, demonstrates his knowledge of the innovative power of the not only symbolic use of painted architecture, in the wake of Giotto's tradition. After outlining the cultural milieu within which the artist worked, the study analyses from a previously unpublished point of view the buildings that Bitino painted in 1409 in the altarpiece with the Passion of St. Julian, preserved in the church of the same name in Rimini. These architectural elements have made it possible to reconstruct some important views of the city of Rimini that have now disappeared, such as the former medieval cathedral of Santa Colomba, with its decorations and surroundings, and the Benedictine church of San Giuliano itself. The architectural elements described in a realistic and detailed manner are in tune with the reformist climate that Ludovico Barbo was shortly to promote among Benedictine monks, suggesting a modern devotion that involved approaching prayer by mentally evoking images (Leclercq 1984). Around the same years in which Barbo wrote the Modus meditandi et orandi, Leon Battista Alberti exalts in De Pictura the ‘power of seeing’ through the narrative form of the ‘istoria’, necessary to ‘make one feel emotions’ through the gestures of the characters depicted interacting with each other and with their surroundings (Di Stefano 2020). Bitino, in unravelling his ‘istoria’, although not yet familiar with Alberti's perspective method, develops a highly original character in his attempt to ‘fake what is seen’
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
Questioni intorno all'architettura di ispirazione palladiana in Canada.
No full textIl contributo esamina e tenta di chiarire la complessità dell’influenza del linguaggio palladiano in Canada, sviluppatasi a partire dal 1750, negli edifici religiosi e successivamente in quelli civili, in Nuova Scozia e in Québec. Un linguaggio adottato allo scopo di organizzare razionalmente lo spazio a misura del «pubblico» e dei nuovi protagonisti, spesso carenti di cultura architettonica. Attraverso lo studio della trattatistica, che si rivela scarsamente speculativo, si pongono i fondamenti di una modernizzazione civile, senza tuttavia giungere ad una architettura dotata di una sua fisionomia caratterizzante
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
