Un po' turista e un po' vagabondo. Suggestioni baumaniane nella lettura politica dell'Odisseo xénos?
No full textL’articolo si interroga sul periodo nel quale Odisseo, di ritorno da Troia, vive per dieci anni l’esperienza dell’essere in transito, ossia dell’essere un individuo costretto dalle circostanze a vivere l’incerto rapporto con un’alterità che si presenta talvolta amica, più spesso nemica e che ne condiziona vita e scelte. Si tratta di un momento relazionale – e, dunque, politico – segnato dalla precarietà, dall’incertezza, dalla paura, un momento che insiste di conseguenza sulla dimensione securitaria in una maniera che non è tuttavia unidirezionale: Odisseo è sì straniero rispetto agli altri, ma anche quest’ultimi lo sono rispetto a lui e non sempre il ruolo giocato dai vari attori si mantiene costante e identico. L’Itacense è talvolta lo xénos che chiede di essere accolto, altre lo straniero che, invece, diviene nemico dei popoli che incontra. La dimensione dell’alterità, quell’alterità che Bauman tipizza nei due paradigmi del turista e del vagabondo, si rivela analiticamente proficua per inquadrare la figura dell’Odisseo xénos la quale, lungi dall’incarnarsi ora in un modello ora nell’altro, ne costituisce invero la sintesi, una sintesi che ha nelle conseguenze di questa ambiguità sul piano securitario il proprio punto di caduta
Central monism and suburban pluralism: Plutarch and Dio of Prusa between needs of the principatus and claims coming from local communities
No full textThe article deals with the problem of the political relations between Rome and the outskirts of the Empire in the Political Thought of Plutarch and Dio Chrysostom from the perspective of the dichotomy Monism-Pluralism. The essay, principally focusing on some of the Political Moralia by Plutarch and the Third Discourse on Kingship by Dio, highlights how these authors conceived the precarious balance between a monist centre needing a unitary politics and a plurality of local communities with their peculiar traditions, customs and internal institutions

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
