Figure femminili come strumento di legittimazione: La biografia dell’imperatrice Ma nella Storia dei Ming
No full textNella Storia dinastica dei Ming 明(1368–1644) appaiono tre sezioni
dedicate ai personaggi femminili meritevoli di menzione, ovvero le
imperatrici (regnanti, madri o vedove) e le concubine, le principesse
(zie, sorelle o figlie dell’imperatore), e le donne comuni, che per il
loro comportamento eroico sono state insignite di titoli e archi commemorativi.
Oltre l’evidente fine didascalico di tali componimenti
(nel senso che lo stato enfatizza quegli atti che corrispondono ai valori
morali che intende inculcare e diffondere), per quanto riguarda
le imperatrici appare quanto mai emblematica la parte introduttiva
di tale sezione, che ne manifesta un’altra valenza specifica. In essa
il fondatore Ming Taizu 明太祖(r. 1368–1398) espone i concetti
fondanti il ruolo femminile che la tradizione confuciana impone alle
donne, seguita dalla biografia dell’imperatrice Ma, sua consorte, che
ne rappresenta la suprema realizzazione. Tali affermazioni esplicitano,
infatti, l’importanza vitale della perfetta aderenza dell’imperatrice
al ruolo femminile definito dai testi e dagli esempi del passato nel
meccanismo della legittimazione dinastica. Pertanto, in questo lavoro
si intende focalizzare l’attenzione sulla biografia della prima — ovvero
della più significativa in termini di legittimazione — Signora
dell’impero, in quanto per molteplici ragioni ideologiche, strategiche
e propagandistiche ella viene rappresentata come il modello eccelso di
comportamento femminile, di sposa e di madre
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
Arte e archeologia
No full textAmpio saggio sulla storia dell'arte cinese dal III al XVIII secolo ripercorsa per grandi temi e problemi alla luce degli studi specialistici e delle scoperte archeologiche avvenute negli ultimi decenni. La ricostruzione del contesto culturale di ciascuna delle fasi storiche esplorate – il periodo delle dinastie del Sud e del Nord, l'epoca Sui e Tang, le Cinque Dinastie, i Song Settentrionali e Meridionali, gli imperi Liao e Jin, la dinastia Yuan e il periodo Ming – costituisce l'imprescindibile punto di partenza per illustrare le caratteristiche dell'attività artistica in Cina nel corso di quei secoli. Tra i temi di particolare rilievo affrontati nel saggio si contano: la riflessione estetica all'indomani del crollo dell'impero Han; l'ingresso del buddhismo in Cina e lo sviluppo dell'arte buddhista; la statuaria funeraria in pietra delle tombe imperiali Tang; la genesi della pittura di paesaggio durante le Cinque Dinastie; la pittura "storico-artistica" dei letterati di epoca Yuan. La presentazione delle tendenze dell'architettura, della scultura, della pittura, come pure dell'artigianato artistico cinese, è scandita dalla descrizione e dal commento di una nutrita serie di opere, molte delle quali corredate da puntuali riferimenti iconografici e bibliografici
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
Immune microenvironment features and dynamics in hodgkin lymphoma
Full text linkClassical Hodgkin’s lymphoma (cHL) accounts for 10% of all lymphoma diagnosis. The peculiar feature of the disease is the presence of large multinucleated Reed–Sternberg and mononu-clear Hodgkin cells interspersed with a reactive microenvironment (ME). Due to the production of a large number of cytokines, Hodgkin cells (HCs) and Hodgkin Reed–Sternberg cells (HRSCs) attract and favour the expansion of different immune cell populations, modifying their functional status in order to receive prosurvival stimuli and to turn off the antitumour immune response. To this purpose HRSCs shape a biological niche by organizing the spatial distribution of cells in the ME. This review will highlight the contribution of the ME in the pathogenesis and prognosis of cHL and its role as a possible therapeutic target
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
