La ‘grande iscrizione’ e la città agli inizi dell’età ellenistica: aspetti e problemi
No full textExcavations conducted by the American School at Colophon in 1922 brought to light twelve inscriptions, including the ‘great
inscription’ discovered in the Metroon. This long text is incised on three courses of superimposed marble blocks that originally belonged
to a monument. The inscription is composed of 8 columns, for a total of 958 lines of text, only 533 of which are preserved.
Lines 1-122 (of which only lines 1-38 remain) contain the text of a decree. Lines 123-958 (only 495 are preserved) contain
instead a long list of subscribers.
The decree provides for the enclosing of the old city and the present city within a single walled perimeter, after the granting of
liberty by Alexander and Antigonus. To this end, a committee of ten citizens is appointed to make all decisions in this regard: selecting
an architect and fixing his wages; finding foreign money to buy the materials and pay the architect; building the wall; deciding
on the division of streets, and on building lots and their sale; choosing areas for the agora, workshops, and other public spaces.
To finance the program, a subscription is called, in which almost all the citizens participate, along with some foreigners. Their
names are registered in the inscriptions along with the amounts lent or donated, which add up to a total of ca. 300,000 drachmas.
Much of this sum is contributed by 10 foreigners, possibly in the form of loans, the rest by the citizens (ca. 900 in total) and a small
group of metics (13), as loans or donations. This was a grand and demanding project, whose execution can be dated between 311
and 306 BC, and which involved the whole community. The initiative came from a group of 10 citizens, who formed the committee
and are the first subscribers in the list, but the inspirer of the project was probably Antigonus. The Colophonian initiative may
have been undertaken in the framework of the program for the reorganization of the cities of the area, a program promoted or
completed by Antigonus, which also involved Teos and Smyrna
L'Epiro e le sue città
No full textNel catalogo della mostra Dodonaios dedicato all'oracolo di Zeus e la Magna Grecia l'A. presenta un quadro di sintesi sulle città dell'Epiro che tiene conto delle più recenti ricerche condotte dai colleghi greci. Nel contibuto viene presentato il processo di urbanizzazione che interessa le città epirote a partire dal IV secolo a.C. ma anche la città di Ambrqcia, una apoikia greca corinzia che articola il suo spazio urbano così come accade nelle altre apoikiai greche del VI sec. a.C. Capitale del regno di Pirro, Ambracia ha rappresentato quasi un modello di organizzazione urbana per gli altri abitati che che hanno tuttavia adeguato quel modello al proprio contesto culturale, economico e politico
I mattoni di Velia: riflessioni e nuove prospettive di studio
No full textThe paper presents some remarks for a project in progress, dedicated to the Velian bricks, which aims to define the characters of production, considering the different aspects of the problem, archaeological and epigraphic, about the bricks stamped produced at Velia in the Hellenistic age, peculiar by form and by the system of marking.
The aim of the present work is to examine morphological and typological aspects of Velian bricks and the development of their production, controlled by the State and characterized by a high standardization. This production assumes importance in relation to the role of the local administration. The analysis also focuses on their use and their life cycle.
Then are examined epigraphic aspects relating to two stamps on these bricks. One, called ‘constant’, consists of letters delta-heta, abbreviation of demosion, ‘public’; the other, called ‘variable’, is instead composed of the abbreviation of the personal names, which are an indication of the magistrate or the owner or the operator of the workshop. It is a marking system that, by the symbol delta-heta, alluding to the State, by refers to its main political institution, the demos
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
