Staging Emotions: a Transdisciplinary Consideration of Human-Robot Interaction
No full textThis paper presents the contributions of the scholars who took part in the panel Dire e agire l’emozione: sulle scene dell’interazione uomo-robot held at the international conference Dire et chanter les passions: les voix de l’émotion (Angers, 18th-19th October 2019). The panel aimed at investigating the forms and voices of the interaction – physical, emotional, affective – between man and robot by measuring the empathic components that result from it and verifying the possibility of understanding human behaviour starting from the reactions arising from contact with its artificial cohabitants.
In the opening, the contribution of Salvatore Anzalone, Social robots as tools to understand humans’ social mind, following the most advanced studies in the field of human-machine interaction, allows us to have an overview of the various types of robots and the different areas in which robotics is used today.
The two following sections are instead a deepening in the multidisciplinary research project born within the University of Bologna Performing Robots. The paragraph Motions of wonder and emotion for the artifice on stage: first notes from the Performing robots project, with a look at Japan by Matteo Casari,
starts from the first public working session of the research group staged in April 2019: A dance for Lucy. Starting from this topic will be presented a short excursus on traditional Japanese theatre and the influence of automata (karakuri ningyō) and puppet theatre on human actors.
About how the audience reacted to the dance performed by Lucy focuses on Cristiana Natali's intervention Between relief and empathy: the emotions of the audience at the presentation of a performing robot. The audience's perception of the performance was investigated through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires.
The final paragraph, The voice of human emotions in the robot theatre of Hirata Oriza and Ishiguro Hiroshi by Cinzia Toscano, focuses on the performance Sayonara in which the voice is an essential element in the performative construction of the identity of the robot android Geminoid F

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
