In ossequio a una norma il cui senso ci sfugge: scrivere con Bruno Celano
Full text linkIl titolo di questo articolo è l'incipit di una formula utilizzata da Bruno Celano nella prima nota dei saggi a due mani. Nella sua versione integrale è la seguente: “In ottemperanza a una norma italiana, di cui non comprendiamo appieno il senso, dichiariamo che le sezioni X e Y sono di Bruno Celano e le sezioni W e Z sono di N”. Dato il processo di scrittura altamente dialogico, possiamo facilmente comprendere perché Celano, con garbata irriverenza, obbedisse alla richiesta di attribuire la titolarità di ogni sezione a unautore, non esimendosidall’esprimereun certo dissenso.Nella sua vasta produzione, i testia doppia firmasono pochie recenti. Tuttavia, raccontare la pratica creativa della scrittura congiunta ci permette di mostrare un tratto distintivo dell'intera opera di Bruno Celano, ovvero il pensare e il ricercare in dialogo. Nel presente lavoro, Clelia Bartoli, Marco Brigaglia e Giuseppe Rocché ripercorrono alcuni elementidal backstage del lavoro di Celano, soprattutto negli ultimi anni segnati dalla malattia.The title of this article is the incipit of a formula used by Bruno Celano, to be placed in the first note of the two-handed essays. In its completeversion it is as follows: «In complying with an Italian rule, whose point we do not fully understand, we declare that sections X and Y are by Bruno Celano and sections W and Z are by N». Given the highly dialogic process of writing that took place with Celano, we can easily understand why he,with gentle irreverence,obeyed by disagreeing to attribute ownership of each section to each author.In hisvast production, publications withanother author are few and recent. However, recounting the creative practiceof joint writing allows us to show a distinctive feature of Bruno Celano's entire oeuvre, which was thinking and researching in dialogue. In the current paper, Clelia Bartoli, Marco Brigaglia,and Giuseppe Rocchétrace some aspects of the backstage of Celano's work, especially inthe utmost years marked by illness
In defence of a free market
Full text linkIn a dusty square of an ancient neighborhood of Palermo, there is a miserable second-hand market called mercato dell’Albergheria. Merchandise sold is mainly stuff collected from garbage. Those who sell and buy are some of the poorest and most marginalized among the urban population, so none of the sellers has a license or pays any tax. Nevertheless, Albergheria market had existed undisturbed for about twenty years. It, therefore, seems to be an actualization of the free market deal. The State is not there: neither to give nor to require. In the main square, where the market is, an odd coincidence occurs: one of the buildings, an ex-cinema, is now a lecture hall of the Law Department of the University of Palermo. So, where everything is illegal, youth is trained in the legal professions. This paradoxical circumstance was the occasion of a legal education experiment and action research, configurable in terms of “street law upside-down”
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
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe 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
