Selected papers presented to the 3rd International Seminar “Architectures of the Soul
No full textThe continuous abandonment of convents in Portugal, culminating with the 1834 decree of dissolution of religious orders, led to the loss of their original function and values. This study analyzes the physical legacy – mostly altered, abandoned, or in a ruinous state – of the first Franciscan Observance settlements (1392) in the Portuguese
territory at the Northern border with Spain, with focus on the convent of Santa Maria de Mosteiró (Valença, north of Portugal). This paper aims to understand the historical and current values of these sites through a knowledge-based approach by conducting historical research and surveys. The methodology combines traditional and innovative techniques: historical research with current analysis of the built structures through integrated digital survey techniques. These first results constitute a support tool for the conservation, protection, and enhancement of this cultural heritage. They also enable comparative analysis with the other case studies in Portugal, Spain, and Italy in order to understand the typological model at the basis of the Franciscan Observance in Southern Europe.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Selected papers presented to the 3rd International Seminar “Architectures of the Soul
No full textThe search for the wilderness as a space and possibility of a more radical religious experience accompanies and marks the development of Western culture, with multiple declinations, from voluntary seclusion or eremitical life to solitary life in more communitarian forms. The search for solitude and eremitism remained and marked the main moments of crisis and renewal in the Western world throughout the Middle Ages and the Early Modernity. All these experiences influenced and accompanied both the development of the city and the peri-urban landscape, with a particular importance in the transformation of territorially more isolated or peripheral areas. At the same time, the seek for solitude and seclusion, either through monastic or hermitic experiences, also flourished in other cultures and religious traditions, from Buddhism to Islam, giving interesting perspectives on the understanding of such religious phenomena in larger terms.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

From eremitical to monastic settlements, from rural towards urban areas: the spatial evolution of the Portuguese eremitical congregation of São Paulo da Serra de Ossa
No full textThe Portuguese Eremitical Congregation of São Paulo da Serra de Ossa was founded in 1482, combining a large number of eremitical settlements that had been documented since 1366, mainly in the Alentejo region (southern Portugal), under a centralised government. In 1578, an autonomous congregation was set up and became affiliated with the Hungarian Order of Saint Paul the First Hermit. This paper aims to analyse the impact of the transition
from eremitical to monastic settlements, in terms of both settlement location and architectural typology.
The 17 case studies presented in this paper have been identi ed in the geographical region in question. A census of the existing physical structures – sometimes scant remains only – was carried out through literature reviews, archival research and on-site morphological and spatial analyses, allowing for a critical interpretation to be gained of the monastic landscapes. This article shall serve to discuss the implications of the transition from the eremitical
movement to the institutionalisation of the settlements, both in terms of their geography and spatial adaptations made as a result of these changes.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

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
