    This article presents a “story of Oral history” in Italy, from the beginning to today, dwelling in particular on the 70-90s and on the directions of the new millennium. Oral interviews are stories “from below”, where the authorship is shared between the interviewed people and an empathic interviewer. Explored for decades in the Anglo-Saxon context, only recently the discipline obtained its own autonomy and academic dignity in Italy, overcoming a long-lasting scepticism about its “reliability”. In the 1980s, archival institutions began to take an interest in oral history, because it became then clear that “domestic” conservation could not give any guarantees of preservation and accessibility to these unique sources. The bibliographic selection offered by this essay well illuminates how this approach can be employed to study in an innovative way the most various historical phenomena: the Resistance, the story of the unions, the lesbian movement, migrations, tragic events such as earthquakes, and much more.Este artículo presenta una “historia de la historia oral” en Italia, desde el comienzo hasta hoy, deteniéndose en particular en los años 70-90 y en las direcciones del nuevo milenio.

    Il Centro di cultura proletaria della Magliana. Costruire appartenenze tra i giovani di un quartiere popolare romano (1971-92)

    Between May and June 1971, the inhabitants of the Prato Rotondo slum were relocated to the newly built Magliana district. In an attempt to prevent the community from disintegrating, the new inhabitants set up the Centro di cultura proletaria: a space on the street, open to the neighborhood, which in almost twenty years of activity has involved hundreds of people. Similar to other places of aggregation, but with its own specificities, the Centro di cultura proletaria experimented with forms of contro-scuola. Through field investigations, the collection of life stories and collective writing, it provided tools for raising awareness of one’s condition and claiming rights, contributing to develop clearly defined social identities and local affiliations. Based on the analysis of various sources, this contribution delves into the practices of representation and self-representation generated in this specific context, following its transformations up to the threshold of the 1990s

    "No ai muri puliti. Sporcheremo tutto". L'arte di strada negli anni Sessanta e Settanta

    La street art è un fenomeno attuale assai diffuso e altrettanto variegate sono le ricerche sviluppate in questo ultimo decennio. Cosa può dire in più un antropologo su un evento che presenta senz’altro temi multidisciplinari? Le ricerche sul campo, che il volume offre in ambito romano, mostrano le relazioni complesse che un territorio umano tesse fra azione artistica, processi economici, agenti politici e rappresentazioni locali. Esse si soffermano in particolare sulle logiche sottostanti, di tipo mentale e sociale, che rendono mobili gli spazi, complicano le identità culturali e soprattutto collegano i mondi locali ai mondi globali. Un tratto importante degli ultimi studi è il superamento della versione vernacolare, nonché l’abbandono della teoria della omologazione, ponendo in evidenza la ricchezza della diversità sociale che proviene dal connubio sempre più intenso fra economia e arte

    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
