Get PDFLa valutazione ex ante così come i criteri di selezione utilizzati nei bandi per i progetti culturali a finalità anche sociale possono incidere sulla qualità dei progetti, in quanto la valutazione può svolgere un ruolo educativo/adattivo: la struttura e i criteri da seguire per predisporre la proposta informano un certo modo di elaborare e presentare i contenuti, di pianificare le attività; di coinvolgimento degli attori locali ed esterni. L’articolo individua alcuni aspetti dei metodi di valutazione che possono influenzare/innalzare il livello della progettazione culturale nella prospettiva delle istituzioni locali
Limiti e potenzialità della valutazione in progetti di sviluppo locale. Alcune riflessioni a partire da un’esperienza valutativa di sperimentazioni di imprese sociali
No full textMuri come trame e infrastrutture urbane. Organizzare la città attraverso sensi, pratiche, narrative, controversie
No full textCome operano i muri nel dare forma allo spazio e alle pratiche urbane? Di che cosa sono fatti? Il capitolo propone una riflessione sui muri
urbani interrogandosi sulla loro composizione, sulla capacità d’azione
e sulla dimensione organizzativa che essi chiamano in causa. Lo studio
prende le mosse dall’analisi di alcune controversie urbane che hanno
avuto luogo nella città di Trento e che hanno avuto risalto nella stampa
locale. Si tratta di episodi che permettono di seguire il modo in cui lo
spazio prende forma nelle narrazioni e nelle pratiche. Il materiale giornalistico raccolto non è stato trattato tanto per la funzione informativa
quanto per la capacità performativa delle notizie di orientare il discorso
pubblico (Park 1949): nel connotare e organizzare il discorso degli spazi,
la stampa locale contribuisce infatti a creare un immaginario e uno status specifico del luogo
Rumori indecorosi. L’organizzazione sonora dei centri storici
Get PDFSiamo a Trento. Il 19 febbraio 2008 un articolo a fondo pagina di un quotidiano locale titola: “Giro di vite sull’arte di strada”. Il consiglio comunale sta approvando delle modifiche al regolamento di polizia urbana che prevedono misure restrittive per l’arte di strada. Questo perché, scrivono i giornali, la polizia municipale riceve continue lamentele da parte di chi risiede e lavora in centro: “Credetemi, – è il ritornello – ascoltare per ore ‘O sole mio’ sotto l’ufficio non è affatto piacevole”
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
Introduction: Urban plots, organizing cities
No full textThis chapter explores the processual nature of urban phenomena, considering the organizational aspects of urban space and the material features of organizations as having a common, heterogeneous ground. A matter of concern is the machinery around which entities are assembled and challenged. Cities are intrinsically indeterminate entities, and they are constantly constructed through controversies where action is distributed among actors and actants that assemble, re-present and translate each other. The issue of public noise in the historic city centre as reported in the local newspapers provided useful insights into this mechanism. The chapter comprises various contributions in which memory has become a major issue within discussion on urban reorganization. Grning's analysis is emblematic in this regard, because it deals with the urban transformation of East German cities, and particularly with the tangle of symbolic and material traces of the city of Leipzig
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
