Il Palazzo Celestri di Santa Croce
No full textIl volume indaga la complessa storia costruttiva di uno dei principali edifici tardobarocchi siciliani, il palazzo dei Celestri, marchesi di Santa Croce, a Palermo. Quello che viene restituito è un denso e articolato affresco della capitale siciliana, dal Cinquecento all'ultimo quarto del Settecento: committenti illustri, architetti celebri e maestri dimenticati impegnati in una successione di cantieri che avrebbero condotto, attraverso complesse e travagliate vicende, alla realizzazione di una delle più grandi residenze aristocratiche dell'isola.The book explores the complex construction history of one of the main Sicilian late baroque buildings, the palace of the Celestri family, Marquis of Santa Croce, in Palermo. What is returned is a dense and articulated fresco of the Sicilian capital, from the Sixteenth century to the last quarter of the Eighteenth: illustrious clients, famous architects and forgotten masters, all engaged in a series of construction sites that would lead, through complex and troubled events, to the realization of one of the largest aristocratic residences on the island

I “camerini di porcellana” a Palazzo Comitini. Una significativa variante tra le cineserie della Palermo rococò
No full textIl saggio approfondisce un andito molto particolare del grandioso palazzo dei principi Gravina di Comitini, ovvero le salette dette “gabinetti di porcellana”. Esse sono un sintomatico esempio di aggiornamento culturale dei committenti secondo la moda e il gusto della cineserie dovuta anche alla smania collezionistica di porcellane cinesi (o europee in stile) che a Palermo, diversamente da quanto si credeva alcuni decenni fa, era molto estesa e competeva in grandiosità con i maggiori esemplari di porzellankammer europei, francesi e tedeschi. Ciò che emerge da questo contributo è la sincronia dell’aristocrazia palermitana con i fenomeni mondani d’oltralpe e la loro precisa attenzione a quei esempi di costume e di gusto. Il confronto tra le fonti documentarie rinvenute e l’osservazione diretta hanno anche consentito anche di sollevare problematici quesiti relativamente alle fasi di realizzazione nonché al riconoscimento dell’effettivo committente
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
