Giovan Battista Pigna, Gli Heroici
No full textScomparso dagli interessi di letterati e studiosi per quasi cinque secoli, il trattato Gli Heroici di Giovan Battista Pigna torna ora in edizione critica, per le cure di Marco De Masi e Stefano Jossa, per rimettere in circolazione una riflessione sulla poesia narrativa e una modalità di costruzione dell'egemonia culturale che segnò il passaggio dallo scrittore di corte al segretario del principe ed ebbe un'influenza decisiva sulla formazione di Torquato Tasso

Italy and Italianness
No full textOne of the key features of Italian literature is its sense of belonging to a temporal continuum, from the Middle Ages to contemporary times. This continuum has been mostly constructed retrospectively by Risorgimento patriots via a narrative that aimed to merge literary history and political discourse. By selecting the discussion on the core theme “Italy,” as well as the role of national bards within Italian literature, this chapter explores the extent to which Risorgimento construction has endured beyond the Risorgimento itself, and it questions whether this proved productive or not for the benefit of Italian literature. Italianness will prove a field of tensions rather than a self-preserving identitarian tool

Italian Heroines: Literature, Gender, and the Construction of the Nation
No full textScholarship on Italian nationhood has historically focused on heroes rather than on heroines, in line with the established gendered dialectical relationship between the female nation (who nurtures those who fight for her), and the male patriot, who both adores and possesses her. However, it is argued that Italian literary heroines prove at least as productive as heroes, if not more, when it comes to generating alternative views on the nation. This essay offers an introduction to a themed issue that aims to fill this scholarly gap in relation to ideas about the Italian nation and nationhood

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
