    Fin dalla sua strutturazione in senso scientifico, l’antropologia intreccia un dialogo proficuo con la letteratura, dai primi episodi ottocenteschi fino al Novecento e oltre, quando le strade delle due discipline convergono in una collaborazione pienamente consapevole. Il dato antropologico, infatti, si presta al coinvolgimento letterario in più di una direzione: dal racconto odeporico, documentaristico o narrativo, al reportage coloniale o post-coloniale; dalla scoperta degli archivi etnografici allo sviluppo addirittura di un fantafolk, che rimanda nel nome all’uso di suggestioni folkloriche nella costruzione di trame fantastiche. Vi sono poi il racconto del periferico, diventato necessità di fronte al livellamento identitario causato dalla globalizzazione; il romanzo globalista, che proietta storie locali sullo sfondo di uno scenario mondiale; il noir, il thriller e il romanzo di investigazione, con gli spunti umbratili offerti loro da una criminologia ispiratrice di narrazioni avvincenti. Si giunge infine ai territori del postumano, dove anche la fantascienza e le distopie si innervano di richiami antropologici, declinati in sottogeneri tanto inquietanti quanto suggestivi

On this base is possible to propose the environmental recovery of each part of the isle

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    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

    <>. Rebora e la critica teatrale

    No full text
    The essay examines Roberto Rebora's extensive output as a theatre critic, spanning almost half a century, from 1939 to the second half of the 1980s. A curious and ductile spectator, Rebora shows an idea of theatre that is aware of the complexity of the theatrical experience. His writings reveal a precise knowledge of theatrical techniques, and a highly refined ability to read the theatrical image, both when he focuses on directing theatre, and when he examines some of the great plays of 20th century research

    Sviluppare competenze di documentazione narrativa digitale nei futuri professionisti di area educativa e formativa.

    Il contributo rimanda a una duplice prospettiva: quella del bambino che cresce e quella di chi, accompagnandolo, ne favorisce la crescita ed evidenzia che nucleo centrale di un punto di vista pedagogico sull'infanzia è la relazione adulto-bambino. Relazione che viene declinata sul piano della concretezza dei rapporti nella quotidianità e dei diversi contesti in cui vivono i bambini e in cui i professionisti dell'educazioni accompagnano e stimolano lo sviluppo di processi. La centralità della documentazione narrativa digitale, attraverso approcci metodologici come quello del Digital Storytelling, offre importanti occasioni di qualificazione dell'azione educativ

    Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts

    Full text link
    We 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
