La voce di Demostene: strategie della performance nella lotta politica di IV secolo
No full textThe paper deals with the ancient evidence concerning Demosthenes’ training and performance strategies as a vivid example of the developments political oratory underwent in Athens during the 4th century. The focus is on the role of the orator’s voice in expressing emotional participation with, and ethical commitment to the internal and external dramatic events on which the People had to deliberate. Through the special lens of contemporary criticism expressed by rivals in the political and intellectual scene (especially Aeschines and Demetrios of Phalerum), it is possible to see how Demosthenes
consistently moved away from a paradigm of emotional self-restraint that was still defended by many traditionalist politicians, while also overtly contravening ideas about rhetoric to which the Peripatetic school had been giving credit and support
Introduzione.
Full text linkNel presentare i contributi del volume miscellaneo si rivedono alcuni esempi icononografici e letterari di comunicazione politica filtrata dall'atteggiamento corporeo, dalla voce, dagli abiti o dalle scarpe nonché da altri elementi esteriori. Si elabora la visione di un codice condiviso i cui segni si rivelano preziosi indicatori di messaggi o tendenze politiche
Fisicità e voce, gesto e ornamento nella comunicazione politica greca fra VI e IV sec. a.C.
No full textLa comunicazione politica si dipana con molti mezzi, ma uno dei più efficaci è quello che trasmette immediatamente il messaggio precedendo o completando l’interrelazione verbale: si tratta del corpo, della sua gestualità e del suo apparire. La torsione del collo, la posizione delle mani oppure l’abito e l’acconciatura, per esempio, possono trasmettere subito un modo di essere e di pensare, secondo codici chiari e condivisi. Nella concretezza dell’interlocuzione, poi, anche la qualità della voce permette di intercettare tendenze e caratteristiche personali.
Questo volume raccoglie i contributi di più studiosi che si sono confrontati su questo tema in relazione alla Grecia antica dall’arcaismo all’età di Alessandro, anche in rapporto al mondo persiano, attraverso le fonti scritte e la documentazione artistica
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
