No full textTrattasi di opera che affronta la tematica del rapporto allieva/docente nella scienza italiana tra Ottocento e Novecento attraverso il percoso biografico e intellettuale di alcuni personaggi chiave.
Il volume è stato progettato, preparato e curato da Valeria P. Babini e Raffaella Simili.
Valeria Babini ha inoltre contribuito personalmente con una prefazione a due mani (con Raffaella Simili) e con un saggio sul legame allieva/docente tra Gina e il padre Cesare Lombroso
Vito Volterra and the making of research institution in Italy and abroad
No full textThe following pages, however, will not go into these aspects of his work, which are cited here mainly to point out the scientific standing of the scholar, but will describe other, no less important contributions that the distinguished mathematician made to research policies in Italy, as well as his dose ties with the international milieu before and after the Great War. After all, abroad, he was called Mister Italian Science, a nickname coined especially for him in 1918 by the famous American astronomer George Ellery Hale, who considered him "the leading spirit-Mr. Italiàn Science, if you will-of his embattled nation." This part of Volterra's activity was for a long time suppressed in our coun try due to the very effective operation of "damnatio memoriae " undertaken to his detriment by the Pascist regime which he strenuously opposed; it is indeed not an overstatement to affirm that Volterra's role in organizing the research system in Italy is of an importance comparable to his contribution to the progress of the scientific disciplines he tackled as a researcher

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
