    Osservatori e spettatori. Parte I: Crisi e metamorfosi della soggettività giuridica

    Full text link
    During the twentieth century, the state founded on constitutional law was the form of organization that best ensured the participation of citizens in the construction of the legal discourse. This model also ensured the respect of a wide range of constitutionally guaranteed principles and values. In this model, the theory of law places the citizen in the role of observer: a form of epistemologically active subjectivity, always able to modify or intervene on legal reality, participating in the democratic game of law. However, the crisis of state organization and twentieth-century models of sovereignty, the fragmentation of legal systems, and the advent of the ‘society of images’ have ended up relegating the recipient to a passive state. Just like a spectator at a theatre, the citizen today helplessly witnesses the evolution of law that increasingly resembles a grand mise-en-scène. This brief essay reflects on the passage between these forms of subjectivity and on the future of a spectatorial law in which the legal discourse opens up to cultural contaminations and semantic and theoretical hybridizations

    Iconic Turns in Deontic Wor(l)ds. From Visual Rules to Optical Dispositives

    These pages are a brief contribution dedicated to the exploration of the rel- evance of images for legal discourse. Considering the specific field of road traffic regula- tion, the paper shows, starting from Michel Foucault’s seminal research on the concept of “dispositive”, how the use of images produced by visual devices such as surveillance cameras or satellite navigators has gradually integrated legislation mainly composed of “graphic rules” (road signs). A passage destined to create a new order of an extra-legal nature that profoundly affects the construction of new forms of subjectivit

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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

    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

    Full text link
    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
