    Analysing the articles by Marta Tomasi and Simone Penasa, this contribution reflects on the role of the judiciary in the peculiar field of biolaw and, in particular, on its limits. The paper calls for a constitutionally and scientifically oriented biolaw, able to mediate between two extreme poles: the one of an almighty judge, on the one hand, and the one of an isolated decision maker, both left to their arbitrary adjudication of facts.Analysing the articles by Marta Tomasi and Simone Penasa, this contribution reflects on the role of the judiciary in the peculiar field of biolaw and, in particular, on its limits.

    Il ruolo delle Corti costituzionali tra pluralismo giuridico, plurinazionalità e interculturalità

    partendo dalla contestata definizione di nuevo constitucionalismo latinoamericano l’autrice si sofferma su tre caratteri peculiari della forma di Stato (plurinazionalità, interculturalità e riconoscimento di pluralismo giuridico) di due ordinamenti particolarmente significativi nel panorama costituzionale del continente, Bolivia ed Ecuador. L’obiettivo è quello di verificare come tali caratteri, suppostamente innovativi, interagiscono fra loro e con gli istituti statali pre-esistenti, di origine coloniale. L’angolo visuale da cui viene svolta l’analisi è quello del ruolo della giustizia costituzionale nella definizione di quei concetti. Nelle conclusioni si evidenziano influssi e re-flussi da e sulla cultura giuridica occidentale, che comunque confermano l’effetto trasformativo del costituzionalismo latinoamericano

    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
