The politics of property in ninth-century Milan. Familial motives and monastic strategies in the village of Inzago
No full textRoss Balzaretti, The politics of property in ninth-century Milan. Familial motives and monastic strategies in the village of Inzago, p. 747-770.
This paper takes a microhistorical approach to the history of the Anselmi, a family who lived in the village of Inzago (near Milan) in the latter part of the ninth century. The investigation is based on the evidence of a series of charters, preserved by the monastery of Sant'Ambrogio in Milan. These documents, in particular a testamentum drawn up for bishop Garibald of Bergamo in 870, allow us to make connections between the world of «high» politics - the activities of the Carolingians and their followers in Milan - and «low» politics - the activities of Anselm of Inzago in and around his village. For all of the people involved in making these documents the control for property, most especially land, could be a highly political issue. The second part of the paper attempts to explain why Anselm, Garibald and others acted as they did, both from the perspective of the family and that of the monks. However, there are severe limits to this reconstructive type of historical investigation, and the paper finishes with the observation that the nature of power in village societies remains obscure because the charters, while they hint that undercurrents of force may have been at work with the resuit that a castle was built in Inzago in the tenth century, can only ever present a very partial picture of a complex reality.Balzaretti Ross.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
