    To remedy evil with good. Justice and forgiveness of the victim in the age of the Counter-Reformation: between Restitutio, Satisfactio-Satispassio and Potestas in se Ipsum

    Nel presente contributo, prestando ascolto ad alcune voci della letteratura etico-giuridica cattolica, ci si sofferma su tre importanti elementi teorici (restitutio, satisfactio-satispassio, potestas in se ipsum) che permettono di cogliere una certa sensibilità con cui tra Cinque e Seicento si guardò a un tema complesso come quello della giustizia e del perdono dell’offeso. L’esame di questi concetti mostra come, tra tutela dell’anima e tutela del corpo, le antiche forme private di regolazione e di pacificazione dei conflitti mutarono terreno e obiettivi. Almeno sul piano teorico, esse infatti non parlarono più solo il linguaggio arcaico dei riti di reintegrazione collettiva, non espressero più come in passato la pienezza degli interessi delle tante “società intermedie”, né furono prioritariamente rivolte a stigmatizzare l’illecito o a creare nei rapporti fra uomo e uomo nuovi vincoli “antidorali”. In sintonia con le emozioni e le angosce che agitano l’Occidente nei decenni che seguono la Riforma, riconciliazione e perdono impegnarono direttamente l’individuo nei confronti di Dio e, convertendosi lentamente in un affare intimo e personale, si piegarono agli ossequi della giustizia pubblica.This article intends to focus on three important theoretical elements from the Catholic ethical and juridical literature: restitutio, satisfactio-satispassio, potestas in se ipsum. These allow us to understand how a theme as complex as that of justice and forgiveness of the victim was treated between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. The examinations of these concepts shows that, for the protection of the soul and the body, the ancient private forms of conflict resolution changed their context and goals. At least on the theoretical level, they no longer used only the archaic language of rites of collective reintegration. They no longer expressed the interests of the “particular social groups” as they had done in the past and, eventually, they no longer aimed to stigmatize the illicit behaviours or to create new “antidoral” obligations. In tune with the emotions and anxieties that shook the Western society in the decades following the Reformation, reconciliation and forgiveness became mainly an individual commitment to God, and as a personal process were no longer so independent from the administration of public justice.Ciencias ReligiosasDerech

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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
