Travestimenti e omosessualità femminile alle soglie dell'età contemporanea
No full textGender ambiguity and female homosexuality on the threshold of the contemporary Age
Discusses the recent book that Marzio Barbagli devoted to Caterina Vizzani, a young cross-dresser who lived in the mid-eighteenth century. In particular it examines, in a long-term perspective, the interplay between gender ambiguity, scientific culture and the social sphere. Subsequently, it argues that the identification between cross-dressers and homosexuals, as proposed by the medical literature over the past three centuries (as in the case of Caterina Vizzani), should be regarded with caution

Nascita e sviluppi del brefotrofio di Narni: contesti e politiche assistenziali
No full textIl saggio ricostruisce le vicende che hanno portato alla fondazione del brefotrofio di Narni e il ruolo peculiare che esso ha svolto nel quadro delle politiche assistenziali nazionali. Il riferimento è al numero singolarmente alto di assistiti cui questo piccolo istituto di provincia fa fronte, ma anche all'andamento non comune del flusso delle ammissioni, che rimase alto anche quando in altre aree della penisola cominciò a calare irreversibilment
Il brefotrofio di Narni tra Otto e Novecento: un caso particolare
No full textIl saggio interroga il ruolo particolare svolto dal brefotrofio di Narni nell'ambito delle politiche nazionali di assistenza all'infanzia abbandonata. In particolare mostra come questo istituto sia stato artefice di politiche innovative per il periodo, ma anche la capacità delle donne del luogo di usare e interagire con le misure adottate
Bambini e bambine nel circuito dell'assistenza
No full textIn questo capitolo è indagata, attraverso un'accurata analisi dei registri degli esposti accolti nel brefotrofio di Narni tra la fine dell'Ottocento e il fascismo, la sorte degli assistiti. Tasso di mortalità, numero di affidamenti, istruzione, impiego e matrimoni, anche dopo l'emancipazione dall'istituto, sono alcune delle questioni indagate
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
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
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
