    Maria Urso in “Ero troppo innamorato di mia moglie ... ancora mi chiedo cosa possa essere successo”. Le tecniche di neutralizzazione attorno a un caso di violenza domestica analizza, attraverso una prospettiva squisitamente sociologica, gli apparati discorsivi utilizzati da un uomo maltrattante davanti alle istituzioni formali. In qualità di espressione violenta, come osservato dall’autrice, per sua natura privata, la violenza domestica contribuisce al permanere di un ordine di genere che vede l’egemonia maschile come baluardo della quotidianità casalinga e relazionale. In tal senso, Maria Urso ha esaminato un fascicolo di un caso in carico dal 2015 al 2019 presso il Centro Antiviolenza Lia Pipitone (con sede a Palermo che vede un uomo accusato di maltrattamenti. All’interno del fascicolo in esame l’autrice ha osservato che operatrici, operatori e persona maltrattante utilizzano apparati discorsivi molto simili tra loro e che, attraverso l’uso di alcune tecniche di neutralizzazione, l’accusato riesca a legittimare, seppur in parte, il suo agito agli occhi del pubblico istituzionale

    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

    Già affittato: la difficoltà della ricerca di alloggio nella città di Palermo, attraverso le esperienze di donne con background migratorio

    The contribution to this volume consists of an analysis of interviews conducted with 10 women from migrant backgrounds who live, or have lived, in the city of Palermo. The interviews concern the issue of housing, with a specific focus on access to rented houses. The experiences shared by these women and, above all, their reflections on the dynamics of power that they face on a daily basis, reveal an intersection of subordinations and the complexity of being entangled in a legal and administrative jungle that increases their potential exposure to forms of exploitation. In the background of this situation we find the image of a city that is rapidly changing, like many other southern European cities that have undergone significant processes of touristification. Even while such processes do not represent the only key to understanding difficulty in accessing a fundamental right, but certainly make the general absence of public interventions more striking – as well as the often discriminatory nature of those interventions which do exist
