    The present double special issue reworks upon, and includes a selection of, essays by leading scholars and presented at a two-stage conference on Memory and Performance: Classical Reception in Early Modern Festivals (Parma: 10-14/10/22; London: 20-24/02/23), organised by Bortoletti and Di Martino and with Refini as respondent. The aim is to investigate festivals as a most important form of early modern performance culture and as a privileged mode of transmission and re-elaboration of Greco-Roman textual and non-textual material into early modern written and performance cultural practices. Renaissance festivals are one of the major focuses of early modern studies and have recently been at the centre of renewed scholarly interest and interdisciplinary discussions. These festive occasions and civic rituals played a fundamental role in Renaissance society, presenting intangible, yet crucial, aspects of early modern life and memory. Festivals should be seen as the product of a highly performative context that extended beyond the vernacular dramatic traditions that were being formed between the 15th and the 18th centuries in some parts of the European and American continents. By means of music, poetry and drama, and the visual arts, these festivals appropriated and enmeshed Graeco-Roman mythologies as well as theatrical and textual material into local, national and experimental performing practises, through which they gave voice to political tensions as well as documented transcultural exchanges across the Mediterranean and the Atlantic. The proposed double issue investigates festivals as a privileged place of memorability and channel of transmission of Greco-Roman textual and non-textual culture into early modern performance culture through the examination of the material that documents their existence, their spatial and textual outlines, as well as the individual and collective memories contained therein. The first part focuses on how Graeco-Roman architecture and performance culture grounded the spatial and political dimensions of performance in early modern festivals. The second part focuses on the textual traces of Graeco-Roman myths and scripts in early modern theatrical and dramaturgical practices. The period considered ranges from the 15th to the 18th centuries and includes the European and American continents

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    Full text link
    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
