Market Power and Democracy
The essay explores the meaning of economic market power in the legal context of a democratic political system. The analysis is developed studying the intuitions of Karl Polanyi who demonstrated the ability of capitalism to trasform into a commodity any aspect with a "value" of social life. The "Great Trasformation" of our age is that one of telematic and digital revolution, in which even very personal aspects of our lives are trasformed by digital platforms into commodities.

The formation of a constitutional tradition in continental Europe since world war II
The Author focuses on an emerging constitutional tradition, as an alternative to the artificial version of constitutionalism prevailing on the European Continent since the 1789 Revolution. The crucial issue appears to be how it re-shaped the relationship between tradition and change
Il principio di dignità e la giurisprudenza sui diritti dei richiedenti asilo
Moving from a theoretical recasting of the “right to have rights” in the works of Hannah Arendt, the author deals with some critical stances on the legal treatment of asylum-seekers’ fundamental rights. In particular, it focuses on human dignity as a viable legal instrument in order to overcome the growing selective use of rights and remedies in the current migration crisis

Cinquanta anni di regionalismo, fra ‘libertà dallo Stato’ e culto per l’uniformità
The author affords an account of how regionalism’s main features have been related in the Italian constitutional practice. In particular, attention is driven on the seemingly contradictory relationship between a longstanding practice of uniformity and a recurring quest for “freedom from the State”. The paper tends to demonstrate that such relationship is far from contradictory, and that, on the other hand, it obliterates the true constitutional values regarding regional autonomy.

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
Variations on the Author
“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
