Sulla via del tè fino alla villa imperiale di Katsura e le sue risonanze in Occidente: per un’ermeneutica della dis/continuità transculturale
No full textThe Katsura Imperial Villa has had a profound influence on modern Western architecture. In order to understand the reasons for this, we need to study in greater depth the historical interconnections between Japanese arts and the “Way of Tea”, for which the villa stands as the most complex monument and, at the same time, take a hermeneutical, transcultural approach, which can offer an additional methodological perspective based on the Japanese concept of kire-tsuzuki(a discontinuous continuum)
La città giapponese e le sue origini. Storia ed estetica delle forme urbane
No full textThe ancient Chinese city is the starting point of Japan's urban history which is part of the more general
process of sinicization of the country that reached its peak between the 7th and 8th century. Japan imported
from China the orthogonal planimetry oriented according to the cardinal points: the jōbōsei, adopted along
with the similar system of subdivision of the rural territory called jōri . The first capital cities were built on
this basis: Fujiwarakyō (from 694) and later Heijōkyō (Nara) and Heiankyō (Kyoto). During the 8th century
the Chinese model of the city was transplanted in the capitals of Japan, but all the subsequent urban history
of the country moves in other directions; Kamakura, seat of the first shogunal government and symbol town
of the Japanese Middle Ages, anticipates the future developments of Japanese urbanization, presenting a
fishbone shape planimetry, with no more references to Chinese models. As Augustin Berque claims,
orthogonality did not withstand historical evolution; jōbō and jōri underwent all sorts of deformations that
reintroduced the curve: the plan becomes a lived-in space subdued to the contingencies of topography and
history, not an abstractly conceived space. Urbanization has developed according to flexible and
differentiated criteria depending on the different orographic and socio-functional realities of the settlements.
Tokyo itself, polycentric and reticular multicity - defined by Berque “transmodern” - is the apical point of
the evolution of the Japanese city, characterized by the spiral structure and the labyrinth-shape road, both of
which are far from the geometric and ideal reversibility prevalent in China and in the West: in Japan,
urbanism and architecture tend to refuse symmetry, geometric order, cardinal points of view, and overall
perspectives, relying instead on a conception of the dynamic space that recalls some fundamental Japanese
aesthetic categories as the transition, asymmetry and incompleteness
The Aesthetics and Poetics of the Image in Japanese Culture. An Example from the Literary Tradition: Yukiguni [Snow Country]
No full textThe novels of Yasunari Kawabata (1899–1972) have no well-constructed plot, but rather a series of situations that emerge directly from images, in a sort of concrete visual thought that overshadows the storyline. Yukiguni [Snow Country], his masterpiece, is known for its elliptical style. It consists of a series of impressions. The writer chose to omit all specific points of reference in order to maintain an evocative, rather than an assertive, register. Some images create a very expressive atmosphere. Snow Country comprises a series of visions generated poetically that communicate certain impressions, and it illustrates a quasi-cinematic mode of writing with images or painting with written words
I servizi socio-sanitari nell’evoluzione della legislazione regionale
No full textDopo aver focalizzato l’interesse costituzionalistico nel compiere una verifica dello stato della legislazione in materia di servizi sociali, si ripercorrono le tappe della sua evoluzione: dal d.l.vo n.° 112 del 1998 al d.l.vo n.° 229 del 1999 e dalla l. n.° 238 del 2000 all’attualità. Ci si sofferma, in particolare, nel considerare le conseguenze della modifica del Titolo V della Parte II della Costituzione sulla materia socio-sanitaria e gli ulteriori, possibili scenari del federalismo. È forte il rischio di un gap nella fruizione dei servizi sanitari e sociali conformato su base territoriale regionale: la residenza in una piuttosto che in un’altra Regione potrebbe essere condizione di cittadinanza includente/escludente, rispetto all'accesso a determinati servizi ed al loro standard qualitativo
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
La legislazione regionale in materia di tutela della salute e organizzazione sanitaria
No full textSi tratta di un’analisi delle leggi regionali nella materia della salute, promulgate a seguito della riforma costituzionale del 2001, che, com’è noto, ha attributo tale materia alla potestà legislativa concorrente. L’indagine si è presentata, da subito, alquanto complessa. Non a caso, molte delle leggi scrutinate, a riprova del loro elevato tasso di problematicità, hanno dato occasione di attivare il sindacato di legittimità della Corte costituzionale, di cui pure si dà conto. Ad esito del lavoro, si è potuto mettere in luce alcuni aspetti di maggior rilievo e nodi problematici di questo settore della legislazione regionale, quali la difficile scindibilità delle materie di competenza statale da quelle di competenza regionale, nonché tra le stesse materie attribuibili alla differenti tipologie di potestà legislativa regionale, la determinazione ed il rispetto dei livelli essenziali di assistenza, l’attribuzione di funzioni ai Comuni, il riconoscimento del valore dell’associazionismo di promozione sociale, la stretta connessione tra la materia “tutela della salute” e quella, affidata alla competenza legislativa esclusiva dello Stato, della “tutela dell’ambiente e dell’ecosistema”
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
