    Visioni musicali. Rapporti tra musica e arti visive nel Novecento

    No full text
    Il volume raccoglie gli atti del convegno internazionale "Visioni musicali. Rapporti tra musica e arti visive nel Novecento" (svoltosi nell'Università Cattolica di Milano il 12 maggio 2006) e alcuni contributi connessi all'argomento di quell'incontro. Nei diversi interventi – a firma di importanti studiosi, artisti e musicisti (Karin von Maur, Jolanda Nigro Covre, Gillo Dorfles, Sergio Martinotti, Giuseppe Chiari, Amalia Del Ponte, Roberto Ciaccio, Enrico Girardi, oltre che dei curatori Francesco e Paolo Bolpagni) – sono trattate molte delle infinite declinazioni del vasto tema del confronto tra l'espressione visiva e quella sonora. Si spazia da saggi di carattere storico, a firma di studiosi della materia, a testimonianze provenienti dal fronte creativo: di artisti che guardano alle possibili implicazioni della propria ricerca con il mondo della musica, anche sotto l'aspetto procedurale; e di compositori che si ispirano o cercano di ipotizzare contaminazioni tra il linguaggio dei suoni e quello dei colori e delle forme. Corrispondenze, scambi, ibridazioni: queste le direttrici principali di un dialogo che ha conosciuto, dalla fine del XIX secolo a oggi, molteplici linee di sviluppo. Dall'età simbolista alla stagione delle avanguardie storiche, dai fermenti innovatori degli anni Sessanta e Settanta fino alle manifestazioni più recenti delle due discipline, musica e arti visive non hanno mai cessato di scrutarsi, confrontarsi, influenzarsi

    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

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    Full text link
    We 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

    Il contributo analizza l'operato di Costantino Nivola e Mirko Basaldella presso l'università di Harvard, in particolare come direttori del Design Workshop della Graduate School of Design. In particolare, sono messi in evidenza i legami con il Bauhaus e con la linea "politecnica" dell'insegnamento universitario, ma anche con i precedenti americani del "pUre Design"

    Francesco Somaini. Alle origini del sacro

    No full text
    The text regards the way into which the Italian artist Francesco Somaini has confronted with the themes of sacred art, with particular attention to the works he realized at the end of the Sixties for a project about the relation to life, death and regeneration in his way of creating plastic forms for a "retablo" that he exhibited during a show in Palazzo Te in Mantova. That project has been object of a reprise in his thinking about his work in a letter to the Italian critic Enrico Crispolti, very close to the artist. The opportunity to exhibit all the scultpures that were part of that project, with the documents and pictures concerning that moment, permitted to pursue the reflections about the terms into which Somaini related to the themes of "sacred" as part of his inspiration and his way of creating in his sculpture of different moments, starting with the "Crosses" he realized at the end of the Fifties
