Permanencia y transformaciones: Chipperfield en Atenas entre memoria, invención, contradicción, falsificación
No full textThe text analyzes the background and the theoretical implications of the project for the expansion of the National Archaeological Museum of Athens (MAN) designed by the architect D. Chipperfield. The genesis and characteristics of the urban context shaping the consolidated city related to the project are analyzed. The nineteenth-century urban plan as well as the dynamics and transformations that take place in a context influenced by a constantly changing tourism model are particularly addressed.
Chipperfield's approach to the expansion of the MAN is explored regarding the compositional strategies through which both scale relationships and meaning variations of the context’s features are regulated, i.e., just as they are configured in the contemporary city. These strategies are continuously compared with the Neues Museum in Berlin which has also been designed by D. Chipperfield.
Finally, the text reflects on the role of the contemporary museum as not only a complex organism but also an integral part of the urban fabric by means of strategies which -taking into account the specific Athenian condition- seem to prelude a contextualist minimalism.El texto estudia el trasfondo e implicaciones teóricas del proyecto de ampliación del Museo Arqueológico Nacional de Atenas (MAN), ideado por el arquitecto D. Chipperfield. Se analizan los orígenes y características del contexto urbano que constituye la ciudad consolidada, a la cual el proyecto se relaciona, con particular referencia al diseño urbano del siglo XIX, así como también a las dinámicas y transformaciones que tienen lugar en dicho contexto bajo la influencia de un modelo turístico en constante transformación.
Se examina asimismo la aproximación de D. Chipperfield al proyecto de ampliación, indagando las estrategias compositivas a través de las cuales se regulan las relaciones de escala y las variaciones de significado, a las que están sometidos los elementos del contexto, tal como se configuran en la ciudad contemporánea. Estas estrategias se estudian además a través de una constante comparación con el Neues Museum de Berlín, diseñado por el mismo D. Chipperfield.
Finalmente, el texto reflexiona sobre el rol del museo contemporáneo como organismo complejo y como parte integrante del tejido urbano, a través de estrategias que, en la específica condición ateniense, parecen preludiar un minimalismo contextualista
The Image of the Port City of the Mediterrean as a Connection Between Cultural Heritage and Port Infrastructure. The Patras (Achaia Prefecture) and Drapetsona (Attica Prefecture) Case Studies
No full textModernity is characterized by governments have sought to govern the urban condition through direct regulatory interventions such as those prescribed in the Athens Charter and adopted worldwide for many decades. However, the governance tools for urban design have demonstrated not to be able to elaborate new urban models able to represent the multiplicity of the existing city. This lack of planning-design consequentiality is well represented in the Mediterranean port-cities because of the co-existence of different and even contradictory issues, as within the Mediterranean port-cities conflicting dualities can be found: on the one hand there is the relationship between the city and its heritage, while on the other there is the relationship between the new role the historic port and the modern,
commercial, harbor. These dualities collaborate in the definition of the urban reality of the Mediterranean port-cities, as well as in the description of their contemporary condition, where all these issues are simultaneously present. Thus, the contemporary image of the port-city has to deal with both the past (historical heritage) and the future (the role of the port infrastructure), as well as with the transformation of the «reality» of the existing environment into the «hyper-reality» of hyper-tourism. Thus, the issue of authenticity is a key issue that regards the image the city has of itself as well as the image it wants to promote in order to participate to the global urban competition
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
