    This paper engages in a semiotic analysis of a tawriya-epigram by Šihāb al-Dīn b. al-ʿAṭṭār (d. 794/1392). Mamluk literature is renowned for its extended usage of figures of speech, above all the tawriya, ‘double entendre’. The goal of this articole is to shed light on the tawriya, taking into account the Arabic classical theory and presenting a new approach based on semiotics. The subject of my analysis is the most flourishing literary genre of the epoch: the epigram. Within the epigram, the tawriya plays a pivotal role. Its potential is not limited to a twofold reading of the text but rather goes further and creates a second text out from the first, both of which cooperate with one another and shed light upon their respective meanings. Therefore, the epigram by Ibn al-ʿAṭṭār is a construction of several texts, each of which is mutually linked and deeply-rooted in the social and physical environment depicted in the poem: the ḥammām

    La presente investigación pretende ser un aporte para problematizar el desarrollo de los procesos de integración sociocomunitaria de mujeres que atravesaron internaciones prolongadas en hospitales psiquiátricos y que participan en dispositivos de apoyo social. Para ello, se hace foco en dos ejes articulados: las estrategias de mujeres con padecimiento de salud mental, llevadas a cabo con la finalidad de resolver sus actividades básicas e instrumentales de la vida cotidiana, y las medidas de apoyo desplegadas por dispositivos con base en la comunidad, orientadas a favorecer los procesos de externación. El objetivo general del trabajo es analizar la relación existente entre la participación en instituciones de apoyo social formal y los procesos de integración social en la comunidad de mujeres externadas de hospitales monovalentes, en el año 2022. El mismo sigue los lineamientos de la investigación cualitativa y se sustenta en una estrategia de campo combinada en relación a la obtención de datos empíricos a través de fuentes primarias y secundarias. Se realizó un total de seis entrevistas semi-estructuradas, cuatro a mujeres con padecimiento de salud mental participantes del PREASIS, y dos a profesionales del equipo interdisciplinario de dicho dispositivo. También se utilizó la información de las notas de campo del autor, provenientes del trabajo cotidiano como integrante del equipo de profesionales del Programa. Los principales aportes teóricos que sustentan esta investigación provienen de Menéndez, Galende, Faraone; Gherardi, Pautassi y Zibechi; Gutierrez y Voira, y Guzmán, entre otros. El presente estudio se propone contribuir al conocimiento sobre el funcionamiento de los dispositivos con base en la comunidad y sus medidas de apoyo, visibilizar la perspectiva de las usuarias en torno a sus procesos de externación y dar a conocer las estrategias cotidianas que estas despliegan, así como el impacto en el sostenimiento de sus procesos de integración sociocomunitaria. Advertimos a les estudiantes que consulten las tesinas que la aprobación es producto de un proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje en investigación que culmina con la instancia del coloquio oral en la cual se continúa el intercambio y señalamientos de cuestiones que no se ven reflejados en la versión escrita de este repositorio. Por lo mismo, se recomienda su lectura de tipo orientadora y en la cual pueden incluir a sus docentes tutores del seminario y directores de tesinas.Fil: Rizzo, Luca. Universidad de Buenos Aires.

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    Religious heritage in Italy: websites and geolocalization. A new appraisal

    Get PDF
    Al giorno d’oggi la creazione, l’archiviazione, l’accessibilità, interoperabilità dei dati sul web sono sempre più pervasive. Sul web vengono pubblicate diverse tipologie di basi di dati e/o geo-database - e altre forme di informazioni fornite dalla rete – che affrontano vari argomenti (scienza, medicina, trasporti, turismo ...) e sulla base di diverse architetture. Tali banche dati possono essere private o pubbliche, con accesso gratuito o a pagamento. In ogni caso l’argomento dati è un campo continuo di riflessioni (Capineri, 2015). Un database di dimensioni significative è quello della Chiesa cattolica italiana. Si tratta di un inventario dei beni mobili o immobili su tutto il territorio italiano. Chiunque può avere interesse a questo tipo di informazioni (ad esempio istituzioni e singole persone). Questo contributo si propone di trattare l’informazione geografica concentrandosi sui siti religiosi in un periodo in cui il turismo religioso è considerato come una risorsa importante per l’industria del turismo, per lo sviluppo regionale/locale e non solo (Rizzo, 2016). Siti web con basi di dati sul patrimonio religioso saranno oggetto di indagine al fine di capire come collegare i dati religiosi (ad esempio chiese, monasteri, luoghi di pellegrinaggio, santuari ...) con informazioni geografiche e spaziali. Le suddivisioni religiose sono diverse da quelle secolari: in Italia, ad esempio, le diocesi hanno confini diversi rispetto alle province italiane, così come le regioni ecclesiastiche sono diverse da quelle amministrative. Nell’era dei big data, come viene presentato il patrimonio religioso nelle sue diverse tipologie? Qual è il livello di fruibilità delle piattaforme da parte degli utenti del web? Come si può interagire con esse? Come si possono costruire itinerari per raggiungere i punti di interesse e come si possono collegare più punti?Nowadays the creation, storage, accessibility, and interoperability of data on the internet are more and more pervasive. Many different kinds of databases and/or geo-databases are published on the internet, along with other forms of information that deal with various topics (e.g. science, medicine, transport and tourism), based on different architectures. These websites can be private or public, and with or without free access. However, the reflection is ongoing on these data (Capineri, 2015). A significantly-sized database is that of the Italian Catholic Church. It concerns an inventory of its movable or immovable property throughout the entire Italian territory. Anyone could be interested in accessing this kind of information (e.g. institutions and individuals). This contribution intends to deal with geographical information focusing on the religious sites in a period in which religious tourism is considered a significant asset for the tourism industry, for regional/ local development, and more (Rizzo L.S., 2016). Databases about religious heritage are investigated in order to understand how they link religious data (e.g. churches, monasteries, sites of pilgrimage, sanctuaries) with geographical and spatial information. Religious subdivisions are different from secular ones: in Italy, for example, dioceses have different boundaries than the Italian provinces, and ecclesiastical regions sometimes differ from administrative regions. In the era of “big data” how are religious heritage and routes created and represented? What is the level of usability by the website users? How can they interact with such websites? Is creating itineraries to reach POIs easy? Is linkng various POIs feasable

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    We 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

    Get PDF
    We 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
