Le autorità locali in Africa : governance e pratiche di accesso alle risorse
No full textNegli ultimi vent’anni, un dibattito molto ampio si è
sviluppato sulla relazione tra democrazia, conflitti e sviluppo emersa dalle politiche di good governance che hanno spinto molti paesi dell’Africa subsahariana a intraprendere riforme di decentramento. Nell’attribuire ai governi locali un’importanza crescente nella promozione di politiche di sviluppo, queste riforme avrebbero dovuto rafforzare la democrazia, migliorare la trasparenza e l’accountability dei governanti e rendere più semplice la gestione non violenta dei conflitti. A questo processo corrisponde una più generale svolta localistica dei donatori internazionali, che sempre più adottano la nozione di comunità locale come quadro di riferimento amministrativo sia della rappresentanza politica delle popolazioni rurali, sia delle politiche partecipative di gestione della terra e dell’erogazione di servizi pubblici. A questa definizione prescrittiva del ruolo del governo locale e delle relazioni tra centro e località corrisponde una realtà africana molto più incerta e variegata. Questo volume raccoglie i contributi di una nuova generazione di studiosi emersa da una base formativa comune con l’obiettivo di andare oltre l’approccio normativo, esplorando attraverso casi empirici il ruolo dei governi locali nella gestione dei conflitti legati all’accesso alle risorse tanto nelle aree rurali quanto in quelle urbane
«Poesie che ho mandato al diavolo». Sulle Poesie disperse di Giuseppe Ungaretti
No full textIn 1942 Giuseppe Ungaretti entrusts to Arnoldo Mondadori’s publishing house the publication of all of his works. After the first two books, L’Allegria (Milano 1942) and Sentimento del Tempo (Milano 1943), in 1945 the critic Giuseppe De Robertis edits the third one, entitled Poesie disperse, which contains also the variants of all Ungaretti’s poems. That’s the first example of critical edition of the texts of a living author. The paper presents the birth, the evolution and the realization of this book through the analysis of the correspondence between Ungaretti and De Robertis (edited by Domenico De Robertis in 1984) and the unpublished one between De Robertis and the roman critic Enrico Falqui, which is made up of 1539 missives (letters and postcards) written from 1933 to 1963. The missives they exchanged in 1942 and 1943 are fundamental to understand the philological approach of De Robertis and how the advices given by Falqui (who, actually, was not a philologist) influenced him

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
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
