The Eighteenth-Century Rebuilding of S. Croce in Gerusalemme, Rome. (Volumes I and II) (Italy).
No full textS. Croce in Gerusalemme, one of Rome's oldest churches, has been an important pilgrimage site for centuries. Renovated under Benedict XIV (1740-1758), S. Croce is one of the last ancient churches to benefit from papal patronage on a gr and scale. The church received a new facade, portico, and interior decoration between 1741 and 1744, the exterior portions especially ingenious in their adaptation of both innovative and traditional architectural elements to the practical necessities of the site. A heretofore unrecognized part of the renovation was the opening of a street between S. Croce and S. Giovanni in Laterano, a major work or urban design that linked these two sites visually and stylistically as well as practically. The work has been attributed to two architects, Domenico Gregorini and Pietro Passalacqua; this research brings to light documents that prove Gregorini alone to be the designer. The optical sophistication of the urban aspect of the project portrays Gregorini as an architect of greater ability than has been assumed. More documents show that irregular financial dealings led to the curtailment of the construction, leaving parts of the facade and the interior unfinished. This mishap is symptomatic of the economic woes of the 18th-century papacy. Finally, S. Croce is placed in stylistic context. While the oval atrium is purely Rococo in spirit and form, the facade combines elements of the monumentality typical of Rome with the decorative style of the early Settecento. Stylistically and historically, S. Croce in Gerusalemme closes a long Roman tradition.PhDFine artsUniversity of Michiganhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/159813/1/8402358.pd
L’intervento di Carlo Murena nella chiesa abbaziale di S. Croce di Sassovivo presso Foligno. Analisi delle cromie di finitura
No full textI decenni tra il 1730 e il 1760 costituirono una fase di profondo cambiamento, in ambito romano e non solo, sia del linguaggio architettonico sia della modalità di scelta e impiego dei materiali da costruzione.
All’interno di questa nuova modalità espressiva è possibile ricondurre anche l'intervento sulla chiesa abbaziale di S. Croce di Sassovivo, che intorno alla metà del XVIII secolo fu soggetta a importanti trasformazioni. I lavori furono realizzati su progetto dell'architetto Carlo Murena; la sua figura risulta fondamentale per la ricostruzione delle vicende settecentesche dell'edificio monastico: attivo come architetto già dal 1737, dopo essersi formato e aver collaborato con Luigi Vanvitelli, operò al suo seguito anche negli anni delle trasformazioni del complesso folignate.
Sulla base della documentazione consultata è stato possibile circoscrivere il periodo del cantiere e le trasformazioni realizzate, numerose e di diversa entità, che coinvolsero l'intero volume della chiesa, dalla copertura alle finiture interne. Quest'ultime presentano un notevole interesse, non solo per la definizione stilistica del linguaggio architettonico di Murena, quanto in particolare per la definizione cromatica voluta dal progettista.
Al fine di ottenete nuovi dati, che andassero ad arricchire ed eventualmente a confermare l'analisi visiva, si è proceduto quindi con verifiche di laboratorio dalle quali sono emerse le effettive cromie scelte da Carlo Murena. La lettura cromatica definita dal presente studio è stata applicata effettivamente alle superfici interne della chiesa di S.Croce di Sassovivo (lavori anno 2017)
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
Embodying devotion: multisensory encounters with Donatello's Crucifix in S. Croce
Full text linkThe reception of art is often described in ocularcentric terms, but all five senses could engage devotional objects in late medieval and early modern Europe. This article explores this phenomenon by considering a wooden crucifix with movable arms made by Donatello for the Franciscan church of S. Croce in Florence in the early fifteenth century. It makes new suggestions about the work's original location, its possible patrons, and its functions and reception, especially during the rituals associated with Good Friday. It also reflects on the challenges scholars face when taking a multisensory approach to premodern visual and material culture
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
