La "metafora" emozionale di A. Camus: La Peste
No full textLa Peste di Camus, uno dei romanzi che più di ogni altro interseca snodi e riflessioni educative come la cura, il nichilismo, la tendenza dei mass media a spettacolarizzare gli eventi, la sordità emotiva, il valore dell’amore vero nella coppia, l’esilio, lo sciacallaggio e la speculazione; il processo di consapevolezza e l’essenzialità della vita umana. La lettura del romanzo di Camus suggerisce cosa fare, ma soprattutto come essere.
[Altro abstract in inglese: The Plague by Camus, one of the novels that more than any other intersects educational reflections such as care, nihilism, the tendency of the mass media to make events spectacular, emotional deafness, the value of true love in couple, exile, looting and speculation; the process of awareness and the essentiality of human life. Reading Camus’s novel suggests what to do,
but above all how to be.
Il fardello dell'uomo bianco tra confine e libertà
No full textLe società occidentali si configurano per essere ormai dei tessuti multiculturali. Se da un lato si assiste a propositi di accoglienza e di integrazione, dall’altro è presente un maggiore fervore di non accettazione dovuta non solo a variabili economiche ma, anche, a elementi psichici che sono connaturati all’essere umano. Diversamente dall’istinto – che si realizza in una sequenza di azioni prefissate e dirette verso una meta – la pulsione si indirizza verso diverse mete e ha un carattere più flessibile e variabile. Da un lato, infatti, l’essere umano anela a essere libero, dall’altro cede alla tentazione di edificare muri allo scopo di tenere lontano da sé lo straniero. Se la spinta alla libertà estrema comporta il taglio delle radici, un senso di appartenenza portato all’eccesso genera la chiusura su se stessi e l’irrigidimento del confine. Per liberarsi da questo fardello, tipico soprattutto dell’uomo bianco, il sentiero da percorrere è quella della piena consapevolezza poiché è questa che ci permette di renderci conto di quale sia la nostra reale relazione con il mondo.
[Altro abstract in inglese: Western societies are now configuring themselves to be multicultural fabrics. If on the one hand we are witnessing proposals of welcome and integration, on the other there is a greater fervor of non-acceptance due not only to economic variables, but also to psychic elements that are inherent in the human being. Unlike instinct - which takes place in a sequence
of predetermined actions directed towards a goal - the drive moves towards different goals and has a more flexible and variable character. On the one hand, in fact, the human being yearns to be free, on the other he succumbs to the temptation to build walls in order to keep the stranger away from himself. If the push for extreme freedom involves cutting the roots, a sense of belonging brought to excess generates closure on oneself and the stiffening of the border. To free ourselves from this burden, typical of the white man, the path to take is that of full awareness since it is this that allows us to realize what our real relationship with the world is
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Get PDF“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
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
