    Citizens' health services

    The debate on citizenship in health care is nowadays really important, not only in Italy. The critical reflections connected to the new practices of citizenship are increasing, as stated by Giovanni Moro in the Editorial. The article by Joao Arriscado Nunes is an evidence for that, especially because the experiences he mentions (the mobilization for the recognition of health rights and not only for general rights) are spread all over the world. It is not by chance, that the issue of articles proposed in this volume is strictly connected to health participation. The recognition of rights is usually the result of social movements often participated by citizens and specialists' associations involved in healthcare delivery. There are also other issues connected with the conceptual couple citizenship-participation empowerment, deliberative democracy, citizen's activism, third sector's role. But who is the "citizen"? Is s/he only a customer? What are the relationship between him/her, in terms of participation with the other healthcare professionals and health managers? The volume shows the complexity of these questions and goes deeper in the different roles played by the citizen: the care-giver/citizen, the activist/citizen, the expert/citizen.

    Si tratta del numero monografico della rivista "Salute e Società" dedicato a "la salute dei cittadini". Viene mostrato come al centro dell'attenzione ci sia l'esigenza di cercare modi, luoghi e tempi per produrre consapevolezze collettive e pratiche condivise di partecipazione alla "cura" e alle decisioni relative a monte e a valle. Dopo una disamina della letteratura internazionale sul tema, si espongono i presupposti teorici in argomento e quindi si presentano, anche criticamente, una serie di esperienze di partecipazione o di attivismo dei cittadini. Al centro del dibattito un importante saggio del noto sociologo portoghese Joao Arriscado Nunes. Rivista catalogata “A”, con referee anonimi

    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
