Gli interventi farnesiani a Castel Sant’Angelo
No full textIl saggio, contenuto nel grande volume dedicato all’architettura farnesiana, a cura di Bruno Adorni e Carlo Mambriani, ricostruisce i principali interventi realizzati sotto Paolo III nella residenza pontificia di Castel Sant’Angelo e si concentra sull’appartamento, costituito da un nuovo livello sovrapposto a quello quattrocentesco. Oggetto di numerosi studi riguardanti la splendida decorazione a stucchi e affreschi, l’appartamento non è stato finora analizzato nella sua architettura. Il presente, sintetico studio, considera, nella parte a firma di Renata Samperi, l’assetto distributivo e il linguaggio architettonico nell’insieme, mentre la parte a firma di Paola Zampa si focalizza sul piccolo, raffinato vestibolo con scalinata, posto tra la loggia di Giulio II e la nuova sala Paolina
Varietas e variatio nella cultura architettonica dell’Italia settentrionale
No full textNell’esemplare della Regola delli cinque ordini d’architettura (1562, secondo stato. Ferrara, Biblioteca Comunale Ariostea, ms Classe I 217), postillato dall’architetto Giovanni Battista Aleotti (1546-1636) nei primi decenni del Seicento, vengono collazionati insieme alle tavole del trattato vari materiali grafici e a stampa dedicati alla rappresentazione di basi e capitelli fantasiosi, ispirati all’antico ma non inclusi nei canonici ordini previsti dalla teoria architettonica - “molti [...] fragmenti di ciasc[un]o ordine”, come vengono definiti in un inventario (1884) che descrive il contenuto del codice aleottiano. Raccogliendo materiali che provenivano da stampe e disegni eseguiti dagli architetti attivi a Ferrara nel Cinquecento –Terzo Terzi e Pirro Ligorio – la Regola di Aleotti offre una testimonianza della presenza ormai sedimentata della varietas nella cultura architettonica della città estense. L’assenza di antichità nella valle del Po e la circolazione di maestranze e disegni nel territorio dell’Italia settentrionale, suddiviso in piccole corti tra loro collegate dalla rete idrica e stradale che attraversava senza ostacoli la pianura, facilitarono infatti l’elaborazione di un linguaggio ispirato a tale principio tramite il riuso e nuove invenzioni.
Il presente contributo intende riflettere sulla relazione tra il fenomeno di circolazione di materiali grafici e l’evoluzione dell’immaginario architettonico legato alla varietas, analizzandone gli esiti nella teoria e nella pratica costruttiva. Per sviluppare tali considerazioni, si indagherà una cronologia inclusa tra il XV e il XVI secolo, esplorando la costellazione di città e corti disseminate nella pianura padana
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
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
Eredità medievali e linguaggio all'antica negli interni delle chiese romane di Sant'Agostino e Santa Maria del Popolo
No full textIl saggio mette a confronto le opere condotte sotto Sisto IV nelle chiese romane di Sant’Agostino e Santa Maria del Popolo, espressione di innovativi motivi architettonici, quali l’integrale copertura con volte a crociera all’antica e le facciate ispirate al modello del prospetto albertiano di Santa Maria Novella. Come nella maggior parte dell’architettura romana del tempo, è pure presente un notevole legame con la tradizione medievale. In modo particolare negli interni la connotazione all’antica data dall’uso delle volte si contamina con soluzioni di chiara ascendenza medievale. L’associazione tra linguaggi eterogenei si sviluppa nelle due chiese con modalità tra loro molto diverse, in ragione della diversa storia costruttiva dei due edifici. Da una parte, l’interno di Santa Maria del Popolo riprende, con risultati coerenti, la qualità architettonica degli spazi dell’antichità, applicata a un impianto di ascendenza medievale. Dall’altra, il lungo e complesso processo costruttivo di Sant’Agostino può essere messo in relazione con anomalie e discontinuità tra parti databili in differenti periodi storici.The essay compares the works carried out under Sixtus IV in the Roman churches of Sant’Agostino and Santa Maria del Popolo, an expression of innovative architectural solutions, such as the covering of the interiors with cross vaults taken from Antiquity and the façades inspired by the model of Alberti’s church of Santa Maria Novella. As in most Roman architecture of the time, there is also a remarkable link with the medieval tradition. Particularly in interiors, the antique connotation given by the vaults is blended with solutions of medieval derivation. The association of heterogeneous languages is developed in the two churches in very different ways, due to their different building history. On the one hand, the interior of Santa Maria del Popolo, probably realised in a single phase, revives, with coherent results, the architectural quality of ancient spaces, applied to a layout of medieval tradition. On the other hand, the long and complex building process of Sant’Agostino can be related to anomalies and discontinuities among parts dating back to different periods
