La corresponsabilità educativa dell’As.Pe.I. nel pensiero e nell’opera di Sira Serenella Macchietti
Get PDFThe text traces the itinerary of Sira Serenella Macchietti as National President of Italian Pedagogical Association in the period 1991-2002 and, later on, as honorary president. She was strongly committed to ensure that the association could guarantee cultural and value pluralism, educational co-responsibility, rich pedagogical productivity.Il testo ripercorre l’itinerario di Sira Serenella Macchietti all’interno dell’Associazione Pedagogica Italiana e il suo impegno come presidente nazionale nel periodo 1991-2002 e, successivamente, come presidente onoraria. Si evidenzia il suo grande impegno a rinnovare l’As.Pe.I. garantendo pluralismo culturale e valoriale, promuovendo corresponsabilità educativa e stimolando una ricca produttività pedagogica
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
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

No full textIl senso dell’opulenza. Interrogativi sul possesso e sulla fruizione delle cose
No full textAnziché godere, nella condivisione, delle opere sue, l’uomo s’è andato abituando a godere dei prodotti e poi dai prodotti ha spostato l’attenzione sul guadagno e ha preteso di accumulare sempre di più sino al punto da far prevalere le cose sulle sulla persone e così il godimento è diventato dapprima piacere edonistico e poi sofferenza del limite ed angoscia della perdita. Si dà tanto valore alle cose che contrappuntano i giorni e le ore da smarrire il senso di una provenienza e la speranza di un incontro, e, fatalmente, il troppo amore per le cose fa perdere senso e valore alla vita.
L’ideale del possesso e dell’accumulazione, l’idea regolativa della accelerazione, l’incidenza dell’efficientismo tecnologico e dello scientismo, i contributi della filosofia vitalistica, nelle sue diverse espressioni concorrono tutti ad accreditare “un senso generale del diritto alla felicità terrena” , come già nel 1935 ebbe ad osservare J. Huizinga.“Gli uomini avanzano pretese sulla vita” e così, però, diventano sempre meno capaci di accettare la caducità di ogni momento di benessere terreno e diventano persino incapaci di mantenere vivo il senso del valore della vita.
In questo contesto valoriale si fa problematico anche l’intervento educativo il quale, per esprimersi in efficacia, richiederebbe una condizione condivisa di significati e di rinvii valoriali, e invece i valori che la cultura partecipa sospingono verso un orizzonte curvato in una sorta di “ossessione per la vita”, come qualcuno ha detto.
C’è tuttavia qualche elemento che può essere utilizzato in positivo per tentare di innescare processi che alla lunga possano risultare risolutivi. Il saggio ne indica almeno due. Il primo riguarda aspetti di contenuto e di intenzionalità, ed orienta il discorso verso i fini; il secondo attiene per molti versi al metodo, ma riconduce pur’esso a considerazioni di tipo valoriale
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe 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
