    Commento a taluni brani di critica militante di Gabriel Albert Aurier, riguardo a Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Camile Pissarro e Jean - François Raffaëlli. Grazie a questo volume per la prima volta gli scritto d' arte di G. A. Aurier sono tradott in italiano. Questo saggio discute le considerazioni del critico su importanti pittori della fine del XIX secolo con un occhio critico e un metodo nuovi, analizzando bene la posizione di Aurier a proposito del pasaggio tra pittura mimetico-rappresentativa, mondana e tendenza all'idea, al simbolo, non mancando di fare notare come certi suoi precetti ritenuti apoditttici siano da lui adattati, resi più malleabili, per la valutazione di artisti lontani dalle sue idee ma non dal suo apprezzamento. lo studio presenta nuovi elementi che rimettono in discussione paradigmi critici in auge. Nuove prospettive di studio potranno prodursi con la diffusione e la discussione dele idee di Aurier

    Gabriel Albert Aurier e la divinità dell'artista

    Il capitolo prende in esame la polemica antipositivistica di Aurier diretta in special modo contro le tesi espresse da Hippolyte Taine nella sua Philosophie de l'art riguardo in soacial modo alla presunta influenza che l'ambiente esercita sulla poetica dell'artista. Per la prima volta tradotti in italiano i testi di critica d'arte di Aurier rapresentano a loro modo una novità in quanto, pur essendo conosciuti in Italia, erano solo occasionalmente citati e solo per straIci. Il capitolo mette in evidenza le posizioni del critico francese in senso antipositivistico non mancando di cogliere alcuni estremismi e contraddizioni da imputare al suo spirito indomito e alla sua giovane età, e fornisce diversi spunti metodologici e critici nuovi, visto che Aurier è poco dibattuto dalla critica italiana. Emergono dunque nuovi elementi che rimettono in discussione paradigmi critici e metodologici correnti. Le scelte metodologiche del lavoro si evincono dai contenuti, e sono comunque improntate ad una analisi comparativa, nel seguire una polemica che si fa narrazione e poiesis essa stessa

    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

    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

    Adjunctive valproate in panic disorder patients with comorbid bipolar disorder or otherwise resistant to standard antidepressants: a 3-year "open" follow-up study

    The aim of the study was to report on the clinical utility of naturalistic adjunctive treatment with valproate (VPA) in a group of panic disorder (PD) patients with comorbid bipolar disorder (BD) or otherwise resistant to antidepressants. The hypothesis was that these patients might not respond because of coexisting low-grade mood instability and adjunctive VPA treatment might ameliorate PD symptoms. A group of 47 patients with lifetime comorbid BD (n = 35, 74.5%) or otherwise resistant to antidepressants (n = 12, 25.6%), from a population of 326 consecutive outpatients with PD-Agoraphobia evaluated and treated at the Psychiatric Institute of the University of Pisa from 1991 to 1995, and followed for a period of 3 years. All patients were evaluated at baseline and at least every 2 months by means of an intensive interview including semi-structured and structured instruments (SCID, Life-Up, and Panic Disorder/Agoraphobia Interview). Mean dosage was 687 (SD = 234) mg/day (min 400, max 1,500 mg/day). Adjunctive treatment with VPA was well tolerated by all subjects, and there was no treatment interruption because of side effects or adverse events. All antidepressants-resistant subjects and 31 of 35 (88.6%) patients with bipolar comorbidity achieved symptomatological remission. During the observation period, 7 (58.3%) among resistant subjects and 17 (48.6%) of bipolar patients had a relapse of panic disorder after remission. Survival analysis of remission durations and onset relapses for PD and Agoraphobia did not show significant differences between the two groups. Relapses of Agoraphobia were less frequent and more delayed than those for panic. According to the results, VPA seems to be an effective and a well-tolerated adjunctive treatment in PD patients who were resistant to antidepressant therapy or had BD in comorbidity. The results of the study support the hypothesis of resistance to antidepressant treatment being related to mood instability
