Accogliere i genitori non solo i loro figli. La partecipazione della famiglia nella comunita' per minori
No full textPromuovere un progetto di cambiamento che investa sul futuro ritorno del bambino nella propria famiglia di origine vuol dire attivare percorsi di sostegno alle famiglie, affinche' possano riprendersi quel ruolo di genitori accudenti a cui in passato sono venuti meno. Come promuovere il coinvolgimento e la partecipazione in quei genitori che hanno i loro figli in una comunita' di accoglienza? E' questa la domanda attorno a cui gli autori riflettono a partire da una esperienza concreta di una comunita' di accoglienza per minori e del lavoro degli operatori con le famiglie dei minori accolti
Il lavoro sociale dall'empatia alla compassione
No full textL'articolo propone una riflessione sul tema dell'empatia e della compassione nel lavoro sociale. Gli operatori che lavorano nel sociale incontrano persone e comunità fragili, ma nonostante le difficoltà è necessario riconoscere l'altro come soggetto competente, ragionare in situazione assieme alle persone interessate e ridefinire le dinamiche di potere nella gestione dei processi di aiuto
Lavoro sociale e pratiche di sconfinamento. Incontrare l'altro nella relazione di aiuto
No full textA partire dalla considerazione che gli operatori di aiuto, per svolgere il proprio lavoro, necessariamente incontrano l’Altro, l’articolo propone una riflessione su come lo sconfinamento nella vita dell’Altro possa essere considerato fonte di un buon intervento di aiuto. I principi della relazionalità, del riconoscimento e della partecipazione sono alla base di buone pratiche di sconfinamento che promuovono l’incontro rispettoso con l’Altro e l’instaurarsi di relazioni di aiuto efficaci. L’incontro autentico tra operatori e persone in difficoltà produce uno sconfinamento reciproco e una contaminazione di competenze tra il sapere tecnico degli operatori e il sapere esperienziale delle persone. Promuovere prassi di lavoro all’insegna della partecipazione e della relazionalità non può rimanere responsabilità unicamente dei singoli operatori; deve interrogare anche le Organizzazioni di cui gli operatori fanno parte, chiamate a ridefinire i propri confini in conseguenza dell’apertura all’Altro, riconoscendo la contaminazione delle competenze come prassi per la costruzione di percorsi di aiuto capaci di rinnovarsi in sintonia le problematiche sociali.Starting from the consideration that social workers, in doing their work, necessarily meeting Other, the article proposes a reflection on how the trespass in the Other’s life can be considered a good way to help. The principles networking, recognition and participation are the basis of good practices of trespass that promote respectful encounter with the Other and the establishment of effective helping relationships. The authentic encounter among social workers and people in need produces a mutual trespass and contamination of powers between the social workers’ technical knowledge and the experiential knowledge of people. Promoting practices in the name of participation and relatedness can not remain the sole responsibility of the single social worker; Organizations are calling to redefine its boundaries as a result of the opening to the Other, recognizing the contamination of skills as practice for the construction of effective pathways capable of renewing aid in keeping social issues

L'educatore come operatore "sociale". Dalla persona, alla famiglia, alla comunità.
No full textDifferently from other professional roles, social educators support people going through problems in their everyday trials and tribulations; they thus pick up on the peculiarities and singularities of the people involved and are at the same time seen by the latter as good people. it is in this concrete dimension that social educators and families can identify a common aim, and starting from this, together define concrete steps that need to be taken for their wellbeing. the social educator's task is therefore on the borderline and often provides them with the opportunity to see things differently form institution sending them into the field: thus, they can become part of the network and encourage empowerment processes, tighter with the child or youth, the parents, the surrounding family and any volunteers involved
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
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
