'È QUESTA L'ARTE GIOVANE?' MOSTRE, SPAZI, ARTISTI A MILANO TRA GLI ANNI OTTANTA E NOVANTA
No full textThis thesis presents an initial study of the Milanese artistic scene between the 1980s and 1990s by conducting a historical-critical analysis of the activities carried out by artists and exhibitions in both public and private spaces. It attempts to answer the question posed by Giancarlo Politi, editor of “Flash Art” magazine, in the opening article of the Young Art Special issue in autumn 1990, where he asks, “But is this young art?”, revealing the challenges in understanding the Italian artistic context. This period represents a delicate transitional moment marked by critics' indeterminacy and the resolute individuality of the artists, as well as a moment of transcending labels deemed inadequate for the complexity of the period
At the center of this research are the young artists, born roughly between 1955 and 1964, who contribute to the overall renewal of the artistic scene through the timing of their career initiation and the variety of expressive languages they adopted.
The thesis operates on two different levels: on one side, it provides an overview to capture the common features and potential contradictions within the identified artistic manifestations, presenting a fluid narrative without resorting to forcing or oversimplifications. On the other, it details several group exhibitions held in Milan. These events, involving artists from various parts of Italy, had a significant impact on both the local and national scenes, influencing the debate and development of the period's events. The analysis of these exhibitions serves as a fundamental methodological tool to address critical and artistic issues concurrently and enables an initial engagement with the artworks. This approach allows for the identification of works that gained significant visibility during those years and the artists who were most influential
Il peso di Una diversa tradizione. Corrado Levi nella Milano degli anni ottanta
Get PDFNel 1985 viene pubblicato il volume Una diversa tradizione, raccolta delle dispense utilizzate da Corrado Levi negli anni 1980-1981 nel Corso di Composizione Architettonica tenuto al Politecnico di Milano. Una diversa tradizione riunisce dieci scritti dedicati ognuno a differenti personalità riconducibili a questa linea culturale che ha “i fondamenti nello scherzo, nel paradosso, nell’esatto non senso e lontano dalle passioni”: Carla Accardi, Franco Albini, Alighiero e Boetti, Lewis Carrol, Otto Dix, Maurits Cornelis Escher, Alfred Jarry, Fernando Pessoa, Filippo De Pisis, Raymond Roussel, Erik Satie, Robert Walser. L\u27articolo indaga cosa abbia rappresentato questo testo nel contesto artistico di Milano negli anni ottanta e quale sia stato, più in generale, l\u27impatto dell\u27insegmango di Corrado Levi su una generazione di studenti che includeva significativi artisti come Stefano Arienti e Amedeo Martegani
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
