Le forme della conoscenza: test diagnostici preliminari e verifiche a restauro in corso d’opera / Forms of Knowledge: Preliminary diagnostic testing and investigations during the restoration process
No full textIl restauro persegue l’obiettivo di preservare il carattere autentico dell’architettura storica e le sue stratificazioni, rendere distinguibili le aggiunte e proporre un uso compatibile. Questa posizione culturale ha sostenuto l’intervento condotto sui resti dell’ex chiesa Madre a Santa Margherita di Belice in Sicilia, distrutta da un terremoto nel 1968, che oggi ospita il Museo della Memoria. Esclusa l’iniziale proposta di ripristino delle parti crollate, il progetto di restauro è stato indirizzato verso la conservazione critica del frammento autentico, la reintegrazione della fabbrica lacunosa e la ridefinizione dell’involucro architettonico con componenti strutturali dal carattere potenzialmente reversibile. Una campagna scientifica di test diagnostici ha guidato il consolidamento delle finiture a stucco, e le parti reintegrate sono state realizzate con materiali e tecniche attuali. La nuova copertura consente alla luce di entrare all’interno della ex chiesa attraversando uno schermo di listelli lignei che, idealmente, ripropone la forma della volta crollata. Il volume restituisce un quadro completo delle riflessioni e delle fasi operative legate alla definizione del progetto di restauro, agli approfondimenti scientifici, alla proposta di riuso e al cantiere d’intervento.The aim of restoration is to preserve the authenticity of historic architecture and its stratifications, making the additions clearly distinct and proposing a compatible use. This cultural position is behind the intervention carried out on the remains of the former Mother Church in Santa Margherita di Belice in Sicily, destroyed by an earthquake in 1968, which today houses the Remembrance Museum. After ruling out the first idea of rebuilding the parts that had collapsed, the restoration project steered towards the critical conservation of the genuine fragments, the reintegration of the incomplete structure and the redefinition of the architectural envelope with new potentially reversible structural components. A scientific campaign of diagnostic investigations guided the consolidation of stucco finishes, and the reintegrated parts were realized with current materials and techniques. The new roof lets the light enter the former church through a screen of wooden slats that recreate ideally the shape of the collapsed vault. This book presents all the thoughts and the main aspects of the operational phases related to the restoration project, the scientific insights, the reuse proposal and the intervention site.La restauración persigue el objetivo de preservar el carácter auténtico de la arquitectura histórica y sus estratificaciones, haciendo que las adiciones sean distinguibles y propongan un uso compatible. Esta posición cultural apoyó la intervención llevada a cabo en los restos de la antigua Iglesia Madre en Santa Margherita di Belice en Sicilia, destruida por un terremoto en 1968, que hoy alberga el Museo de la Memoria. Excluyendo la propuesta inicial para restaurar las partes colapsadas, el proyecto de restauración se dirigió hacia la conservación crítica del fragmento auténtico, la reintegración de la fábrica incompleta y la redefinición de la envoltura arquitectónica con componentes estructurales de carácter potencialmente reversible. Una campaña científica de pruebas de diagnóstico ha guiado la consolidación de los acabados de estuco y las partes reintegradas se han realizado con los materiales y las técnicas actuales. El nuevo techo permite que la luz entre a la antigua iglesia a través de una pantalla de listones de madera que, idealmente, vuelve a proponer la forma de la bóveda colapsada. El volumen ofrece una imagen completa de las reflexiones y fases operativas relacionadas con la definición del proyecto de restauración, los conocimientos científicos, la propuesta de reutilización y el sitio de intervención
Indagini diagnostiche nella ex Chiesa Madre di Santa Margherita di Belice
No full textIl testo descrive l’applicazione sperimentale di una nuova metodologia analitica diagnostica basata sullo svolgimento sinergico delle indagini diagnostiche non distruttive. La ricerca si pone l'obiettivo di caratterizzare lo stato di conservazione delle superfici nella ex Chiesa Madre di Santa Margherita di Belice attraverso l'elaborazione della diagnosi che risulti specifica per la redazione del progetto di conservazione e la direzione del relativo cantiere d’intervento. L'applicazione scientifica è svolta nell'ambito della sperimentazione della nuova Metodologia T.R.U.E. e del relativo software
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
Old towns in “smart cities” between conservation and metamorphosis. Pending European Union guidelines
Full text linkIn reflecting upon the role of environmental capital as represented by old towns in smart cities, the author reveals the consequences of re-plastering the facade of ancient buildings while emphasizing the resulting risk of globalization of historic districts. This is followed by a critical consideration concerning the active protection of old towns and their cultural typicality and geographical context, prerequisites for the development of specific guide-lines for the European Union. Explanation is also provided about how the restoration dynamics of the old towns are irreversibly changing the urban landscape in European cities. Strict regulations regarding the preservation of European old towns will become increasingly essential to preserve local cultures and material authenticity
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
