La fabbrica creativa: il silenzio come punto zero per nuove geografie dell’ascolto
No full textL’esperienza della geografia umanistica introduce la differenza tra i concetti di spazio e luogo, quest’ultimo inteso come una realtà che deve essere chiarita e compresa a partire dalle prospettive delle persone che le hanno dato significato (Cosgrove, 1984). Il luogo ha un contenuto profondo, è un’entità unica, un insieme speciale, ha storia e significato (Tuan, 2001). Su di esso sono fissate l’esperienza e l’aspirazione del gruppo sociale che vi si rispecchia, e da queste emerge la sua
personalità (Cosgrove, 1984), composta da tre elementi:
• la base naturale, gli aspetti fisici e tangibili di una determinata area;
• le attività dell’uomo legate principalmente alla cultura materiale, le capacità tecnico-organizzative;
• i significati e i simboli, l’espressione simbolico- culturale, il senso e lo spirito.
È doveroso quindi considerare il luogo come il centro di una relazione biunivoca tra soggetto e spazio, poiché «l’esistenza umana è sempre spazializzata e lo spazio è sempre antropizzato» (Rocca, 2007)
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
Una mano aperta alla città. Conversazione tra Grafton Architects e Carles Muro / An Open hand to the City. A Conversation between Grafton Architects and Carles Muro
No full textIn recent years, Milan has become Italy's leading university city. The book examines, through a series of essays on each of Milan's universities, the implications of this new condition for the physical and social structure of Milan and, more generally, explores the relationship between the university and the contemporary city.
The volume contains essays by Gabriele Pasqui and Paolo Galuzzi and Piergiorgio Vitillo, as well as a conversation between Carles Muro and Yvonne Farrell and Shelley McNamara (Grafton Architects, Dublin), and a photographic essay by Francesca Iovene
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
