    Il capitolo restituisce gli esiti del tavolo disciplinare dei coordinatori/referenti dei corsi di dottorato riferito ai settori scientifici ICAR/20 e ICAR/21. Discute specificità, criticità e potenzialità dell’area disciplinare in merito a questioni inerenti le differenti forme di cambiamento della ricerca in Itali

    All’interno di contesti connotati topograficamente e sottoposti a fenomeni di marginalizzazione, si apre una riflessione sul possibile ruolo progettuale e pianificatorio che potrebbe assumere un atlante operativo di rigenerazione rapportato ai temi del riuso, del riciclo e della resilienza. L’Atlante delle Forme del Progetto (AFP) nasce da esperienze di ricerca entro due territori con caratteristiche morfologiche e con criticità ambientali, economiche e demografiche simili: l’area delle valli del Natisone (UD) e la valle dell’Agno (VI). L’obiettivo dell’AFP è fornire un’indicazione su come affrontare il recupero dei paesaggi vallivi da un punto di vista architettonico, paesaggistico e strategico pianificatorio, proponendo il recupero del paesaggio agrario secondo una produttività che rispetti l’obiettivo di contribuire alla crescita sociale, economica, ambientale e culturale dei contesti all’oggi più spopolati e che offrono uno stock spaziale inteso sia come patrimonio costruito sia come spazi aperti correlati. L’AFP mira a descrivere le forme urbane sulle quali armare linee di indirizzo e indicazioni di possibili nuove progettualità di recupero della vocazione agricola di tali territori in diretta sinergia con le questioni principali che caratterizzano questi contesti: ampia presenza di terreni incolti, gestione di boschi e foreste, tutela della biodiversità, rigenerazione del patrimonio materiale e immateriale. Si ricercano le opportunità concrete di intervento che potranno intrecciare un numero articolato di variabili, tra le quali quelle socio-economiche, demografiche e di possibile futuro sviluppo di risorse

    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

    From ‘redeeming’ to ‘humanising’ the land: utopias in Italy after WWII

    The myth of modernization and technical progress, which saw the enemy water finally won by technique in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, was fed by the Modern Movement: “Vous n’avez pas de terrain libre au lieu fatal de leur concentration? Prenez la mer, bâtissez sur l’eau: ce n’est rien, c’est facile” exclaims le Corbusier in Buenos Aires, repeating in Montevideo: “votre topographie est antagoniste? Votre ville dègringole a pic sul le port? Il n’y a pas de place? Mais faites donc des terrains artificiels!” This myth can produce territories adequate to establish either a sort of “Society of control” (Deleuze, 1990) or a communitarian new settlement, according to Adriano Olivetti’s “concrete utopia” . The machine, which had marked the territory erasing many of the tracks of nature, produced a change to the original plan: these reclaimed coastal marshes, become “countryside”, no longer inhabited, has become tourist resorts, buenos retiros in which "rurality" is an added value, at one hour by car from the city; or the urbanized countryside has completed its nemesis, depriving inhabitants to historical cores to transfer them in frayed ciudades lineales along the coastal roads, where a thriving fruit cultivation is mixed with industrial and commercial activities. Where the countryside is inhabited, in most cases it takes place for peri-urbanisation phenomena (supported, once again, by the machine and a crowded, undersized farm road network) or for a rich agriculture of local residents. It is a phenomenon almost independent from the quality of the project: a superb urbs, however well designed, will not survive if there are not the conditions for a civitas which, to quote Heidegger, takes care of it; conversely, a civitas "inhabits" a place, "territorializes" it if there is an urbs in which can recognise itself

    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
