An italian urban "fashion" the urban 1 programme as a catalyst for institutional planning shift
No full textIl paper pone come suo ambizioso focus l’analisi e la revisione critica dei modi e delle ricadute attribuibili al Programma Urban 1 nella sua “versione” italiana. L’articolo prende avvio da una solida base disciplinare di riferimenti per poi entrare nel merito dei tre casi studio proposti: Genova, Napoli e Palermo.
L’articolo dimostra come un processo complesso e variegato abbia portato l’ordinamento italiano ad operare quel cosiddetto “planning shift” anche attraverso l’iniziativa Urban, di cui vengono riproposte luci ed ombre, ma anche l’ineludibile ruolo di catalizzatore di esperienze nuove ed integrate . In modo serrato ed essenziale gli autori promuovono una logica di ragionamento che ripercorre gli anni ’90 e le sue innovazioni dal punto di vista pianificatorio, rileggendo l’amplissima letteratura esistente ricercando all’interno di essa le risposte alle domande poste nell’incipit.
All’interno del contesto disciplinare, il contributo è assolutamente originale e innovativo, frutto di una lavoro di equipe (gli autori provengono da 4 atenei diversi: Genova, Napoli, Palemo, Trento), che però ha inteso specializzare il lavoro secondo le rispettive competenze. La scrivente ha infatti ampliato in particolar modo il caso genovese, ma soprattutto l’impostazione e l’ottica del paper come categorie di analisi proposte (collegamento con i programmi complessi italiani, analogie e contraddizioni nei confronti dell’ordinamento nazionale,..)

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
Student mobility, lifestyles and urban change in Lisbon
No full textThe last March 22th LXNIGHTS member Daniel Malet Calvo presented his work on Erasmus students and urban change at MOB, Espaço Associativo (Rua dos Anjos, 12). The presentation was entitled: "Student mobility, lifestyles and urban change in Lisbon" and was part of a cycle of conversations around the transformation of Lisbon organized by HABITA and coordinated by Simone Tulumello (ICS - University of Lisbon)
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
Editorial
Full text linkThe 38th issue of CIDADES, Comunidades e Territórios resumes the presence of a thematic dossier organized by invited editors. In this case, “The State of Housing: crisis, policy and policies” organized by Marco Allegra and Simone Tulumello. The chosen theme could not be more appropriate, not only due to the social and economic circumstances that the real estate market is currently experiencing in Portugal, but especially for the policy package - palliative or not so much - that is now being l..
Una faccia, una razza? Questione mediterranea e teorema meridionale
Full text linkIn occasione di una tavola rotonda su quella che allora, tra gli anni '80 e
'90, andava definendosi (nel mondo anglofono) come anthropology of
Europe, James W. Fernandez rifletteva sul carattere ambivalente dell’asse
Nord-Sud nelle cosmologie popolari europee. Riflettendo sul caso
spagnolo, osservava come pur in uno spazio economico e istituzionale
strutturato da evidenti gerarchie – l’Europa “a due velocità” come elemento
costitutivo del processo di integrazione europea – le categorie Nord e Sud
potevano essere soggette a manipolazioni, operazioni di conversione e
reversione simbolica, come per esempio nel confronto tra i “lenti” andalusi
e i “veloci” nord-europei. Il Nord e il Sud, diceva Fernandez, non sono
categorie definitive, imposte dai centri di potere, ma categorie relazionali
che lasciano sempre spazio a margini di negoziazione, malgrado – è bene
non dimenticarlo – il “peso” di più o meno radicate e dominanti geografie
simboliche e materiali.info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersio
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
