Il santuario di Zeus sul monte Atabyros a Rodi: note preliminari
No full textIl santuario di Zeus Atabyrios a Rodi, uno dei tre santuari pan-rodii dell’isola, era sede di un culto che godeva di grande notorietà, tanto da attrarre pellegrini da tutto il mondo antico. Il luogo sacro è più volte ricordato dalle fonti, che ne sottolineano le antiche origini cretesi attribuite ad Althaimanes, nipote di Minosse, e ne descrivono le peculiarità dei rituali. Il sito è localizzato sulla vetta del monte Atabyros, nella parte occidentale dell’isola, ad un’altitudine di 1315 metri s.l.m. Dopo le prime esplorazioni dell’800, nel 1927 G. Jacopi, allora soprintendente a Rodi, condusse una prima campagna esplorativa i cui esiti vennero sinteticamente presentati su Clara Rhodos nel 1928; in quell’occasione furono rinvenute strutture antiche e bizantine – una chiesa e un monastero -, oltre ad una cospicua quantità di ex voto, datati tra l’età geometrica, arcaica e tardoimperiale. Da allora il complesso cultuale è rimasto inedito, ma dal 2012 l’Istituto Archeologico di Studi Egei di Rodi, diretto da P. Triantaphyllides, ha ripreso le indagini, in collaborazione con G. Rocco e M. Livadiotti del Politecnico di Bari. In tre campagne di scavo sono stati portati alla luce significativi resti delle strutture del santuario e del più tardo insediamento bizantino, oltre a importanti rinvenimenti di materiali votivi, e sono state chiarite le diverse fasi costruttive, isolando le strutture di età greca da quelle dei periodi successivi. Lo studio dei frammenti architettonici riutilizzati nelle strutture più tarde ha inoltre consentito di elaborare ipotesi scientificamente documentate sugli edifici di età greca e in particolare sull’altare di Zeus, la cui tipologia è riconducibile all’area ionica e presenta notevoli analogie con l’altare dell’agorà di Kos. Inoltre, è stata chiarita la funzione di un altro edificio annesso, interpretabile come thesauros-hestiatorion sulla base di confronti. Nell’area tra l’altare e il luogo di culto cristiano che vi si sovrappose, parte della quale fu scavata già in età italiana, all’interno di apothetes o bothroi sacri è stato rinvenuto un numero significativo di piccoli oggetti votivi metallici, per lo più zoomorfi, datati tra il tardo IX sec. a.C. e il periodo ellenistico (III-II sec. a.C.). La maggior parte dei votivi è costituita da figurine di bronzo di tori o maialini, simbolo di fertilità e abbondanza, databili dal periodo protogeometrico fino alla prima età arcaica. Sembra che figurine zoomorfe siano continuate ad essere offerte al santuario anche in età più tarde, nel VI, V, fino al II sec. a.C.; le offerte comprendono statuette di bronzo, piene o cave, raffiguranti tori, bufali, o in generale buoi, e capre, e modelli in miniatura di altri mammiferi - piccoli roditori, tassi e topi - e rettili - come lucertole di bronzo e piombo, serpenti, tartarughe - o insetti, come le cavallette, con particolari caratteristiche morfologiche; tutte queste raffigurazioni sono legate alla natura rurale e ctonia del culto di Zeus Atavyrios.The sanctuary of Zeus on Mount Atabyros in Rhodes, at an altitude of 1315m asl, was seat of an important cult, who enjoyed great fame in the ancient world. In 1927, G. Jacopi carried on a first exploration campaign,finding ancient and Byzantine structures and a large quantity of ex votos, mostly bronze objects, dating from the Geometric/Archaic to the Late Imperial period. Since then, the sacred complex remained unpublished. From 2012 to 2015, the Archaeological Institute of Aegean Studies of Rhodes, directed by P. Triantafyllidis, undertook new investigations, in collaboration with G. Rocco and M. Livadiotti, of the Polytechnic University of Bari. Significant remains of the structures of the sanctuary were brought to light, in addition to important discoveries of votive materials, dated from the late 9th c. BC to the Hellenistic period.The majority of the votive offerings are cast bronze figurines of bulls and piglets, symbols of fertility and good harvest and related to the nature of the rural and chthonic cult of Zeus Atavyrios. Besides, the new survey and the identification of several architectural fragments reused in the later structures allowed to develop hypotheses over the great altar of Zeus, of Ionic type, who dominated from the top of the mountain the view of the island. Moreover, it has been possible to clarify the function of another important annex,now interpreted as thesauròs-hestiatorion
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
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
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
