Testori. Scrittura e figura
No full textThe first meeting between La Rivista di Engramma and Giovanni Testori focuses on two typical themes for the journal: writing and figure. Testori. Scrittura e figura is Engramma's portrait dedicated to Testori 100 years after his birth and 30 years after his death. It takes as its reference Willy Varlin's portrait of Testori chosen as the issue's cover. The issue includes a first part centred on Testori's writing: Chiara Pianca in “Quasi fudesse ecce homo de paese” writes an in-depth and detailed essay on the complex drafting of Ambleto. Alongside this, Luca D'Onghia in his article Lettera luterana su Edipus gives a possible identification of the “scarrozzante” king of Thebes. The remainder of the issue is dedicated to art and the figure. Primarily Testori. Figure dell'informe, by Arturo Mazzarella, which links Testori's thought to 20th-century aesthetic philosophy and the notion of formlessness. This is followed by Apostasia della carne. Fatica e liberazione della materia in Giovanni Testori e Francis Bacon, by Filippo Perfetti: a contribution that reveals some traits of Testori's and Bacon's conception of painting, and how pictorial matter is linked to human life and biology. Davide Dall'Ombra, with Nell'anno del libro su Giovanni Testori e Roberto Longhi, talks about the Testori-Longhi relationship through their exchange of letters, an anticipation that introduces his forthcoming publication Con Roberto Longhi. Lettere e scritti. 1951-1990. The section is closed by the republication of a writing by Giovanni Testori (for which we thank the Associazione Giovanni Testori, and in particular Giuseppe Frangi): Grünewald, il trionfo e la bestemmia. In its concluding part, the issue focuses on the theatrical version of “In exitu”. Here we give for the first time an edition of the reduction used by Testori on his novel for the script. Accompanying the text and the reader is Piermario Vescovo, author of a brief Nota, which briefly attempts to indicate the relevance and further possibility of interrogation of the theatrical script. The conversation “In piena luce, in piena ombra” is a dialogue between Franco Branciaroli, the actor for whom the text of "In exitu" was cut, and Piermario Vescovo. Maestro no, incipit and title of the interview conducted by Antonio Ria with Testori, closes (provisionally) this issue through the voice of its protagonist
Canzoni, preghiere, danze. Psicofenomenologia dei CCCP
No full textThe present issue of Engramma (210) analyses the context, scope and aesthetics of the Italian punk group CCCP - Fedeli alla Linea, with the intention of involving scholars from different disciplines in order to outline, within a rigorous scientific framework, a psycho-phenomenology of CCCP as a “symptom” (in the Warburgian sense) and “connector” of a specific historical era. The starting point is the magnificent exhibition “Felicitazioni! CCCP - Fedeli alla linea 1984 - 2024” (Reggio Emilia, Chiostri di San Pietro, 12 october 2023-10 march 2024) to which the first section of this issue is dedicated. In the first contribution, Felicitazioni! Socialismo e schizofrenia. Note attorno alla mostra “Felicitazioni!, Francesco Bergamo addresses some of the main topics and possible interpretations of the exhibition “Felicitazioni! CCCP – Fedeli alla linea 1984-2024” in the monumental complex of the Chiostri di San Pietro in Reggio Emilia, homeland of the band. The exhibition is curated by CCCP themselves in collaboration with Stefania Vasques, who was interviewed in “È una questione di qualità”. Il progetto della mostra “Felicitazioni! CCCP – Fedeli alla linea 1984-2024” . Starting from “Felicitazioni!”, in CCCP. Felicitazione. Ovvero: il postmoderno spiegato agli anziani, Mario Farina constructs his writing by analysing the 'CCCP' device of memory, the phenomenon of nostalgia for something that never really existed, imbuing it with a deep and sharp theoretical reflection on the postmodern substance of the group.This section, dedicated to the band’s fortieth anniversary initiatives, concludes with Live in Berlin! CCCP in DDDR, Filippo Perfetti and Giulia Zanon’s account of the concerts CCCP gave in Berlin in February 2024. The contributions in this issue are organised in three sections: Canzoni (Songs), Preghiere (Prayers), Danze (Dances). The section Canzoni deals with what comes from outside. A series of writings that speaks of the context, i.e. those external conditions, be they historical or cultural, that allowed the CCCP to be born. The first contribution is by Luca Alessandrini, who in Reggio Emilia nella crisi della sinistra e delle sinistre negli anni Ottanta offers a historical reconstruction of the crisis of the Italian left, which occurred at a time when the world was undergoing radical change. In L’incontro mancato. I CCCP e Aldino Togliatti, Ivan Carozzi tells the story of Aldino Togliatti, son of the communist leader Palmiro Togliatti, who spent most of his life in a psychiatric hospital. Chiara Velicogna, inspired by the piece of the Berlin Wall exhibited in the “Felicitazioni!” exhibition, in Saluti da Pankow. A proposito del Muro di Berlino e dei suoi resti explores the material and visual aspects of the history of the Berlin Wall. Gian Piero Piretto, interviewed by Christian Toson, in CCCP e СССР. Il mito sovietico italiano, da Cavriago a Berlino recounts the metamorphosis that the myth of the Soviet Union has undergone in Italy, from the late 1970s and 1990s to the present day. The section Preghiere takes an introspective look at the Emilian group and their artistic process. Guglielmo Bottin’s essay Fedeli a Berlino. Influenze della Neue Deutsche Welle nel post-punk emiliano dei CCCP focuses on the influence of the Berlin cultural scene on CCCP’s music. Michele Rossi in “Smettila di parlare, avvicinati un po’”. Mi ami? dei CCCP – Fedeli alla linea analyses the song Mi ami?, a poetic collage Ferretti made from the 1979 Italian translation of Roland Barthes’ Fragments d'un discours amoreux. Michele Nastasi in “Lasciami così”. Luigi Ghirri e i CCCP – Fedeli alla linea, writes about Ghirri’s photographic campaign for the album Epica Etica Etnica Pathos, and through the narration of this experience constructs a comparison, both theoretical and spiritual, between Ghirri and CCCP. Also spiritual is the analysis of Giorgiomaria Cornelio, who in Ferretti o il ritmo dell’apostasia speaks of the messianic aspects of Giovanni Lindo Ferretti’s singing. The section Danze is about expression: the representations and images CCCP shows of itself. Alessandro Bratus in Ideologia come stile, stile come ortodossia. La costruzione di un immaginario spettacolare nel progetto artistico dei CCCP offers a detailed analysis of the CCCP in the way they embrace and reject what influences them on stage. Alessadra Vaccari in “La storia siamo noi”. Moda e cultura popolare in Annarella ‘benemerita soubrette’ offers a reading of the clothes Annarella designs, sews and wears, not only in terms of their aesthetic and stylistic bearing. This is followed by an interview with Diego Cuoghi Forma e sostanza. Le copertine dai CCCP al CSI, curated by Michela Maguolo, a dialogue with the architect and designer who has worked with the group since their last CCCP covers in the late 1980s. Lastly in Frammenti elettrici, Filippo Perfetti draws up a treatise on the hermeneutics of the moving image, based on suggestions triggered by video fragments tangentially dealing with CCCP and their cultural background
Live in Berlin! CCCP in DDDR Astra Kulturhaus, Berlin, 24, 25, 26 Februar 2024 e una nota sul prossimo concerto in Piazza Maggiore
No full textCCCP in DDDR, where DDDR stands for ‘Dismantled German Democratic Republic’. Filippo Perfetti and Giulia Zanon publish a series of interwoven notes on the three CCCP – Fedeli alla linea’s concerts that took place on 24th, 25th and 26th February at the Astra Kulturhaus in Berlin. Beginning with an impressionistic account, the reflection extends to a reflection on the controversy that arose from the announcement of the band’s summer tour, in particular about the first date in Bologna’s Piazza Maggiore
Le alternative del Moderno, Raffaello e Manet : Lettura di Mnemosyne Atlas, Tavola 55
No full textIn this contribution Filippo Perfetti and Giulia Zanon present the result of the research of Seminario Mnemosyne on Mnemosyne Atlas, Panel 55, The Judgement of Paris: Rise and Fall of the Gods. Starting from Warburg’s texts, this essay aims to reconstruct the genealogy that, from the Roman sarcophagi representing the Judgement of Paris, leads to Manet’s Déjeuner sur l’herbe, passing through Marcantonio Raimondi’s engraving Judgement of Paris from Raphael’s lost original. This reading opens up to fundamental issues in Warburg’s thought, such as the study of clothing as a symptom of a certain historical era and the warburgian concept of Pathosformel

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
