No full textThe examination of the Italian colonial presence in Africa still reserves many research ideas: among these, one of the most interesting concerns the analysis of the phenomenon of the business carried out by Italian entrepreneurs who decided to start or transfer their activities in the territories of East Africa.
Eritrea, after years of fruitlessness and insufficient development purely for commercial purposes, from 1936 onwards was destined for development as a base for overseas trade in the northern and central regions of the empire: therefore, the entire economic structure of the “firstborn colony” and all industrial and commercial initiatives had to be, from that moment on, no longer considered from the restricted local point of view but instead had to know how to fit into the imperial framework. Although the will of the regime was to develop a colonial society formed by the “new” Italian man, forged with hard work, disinterested in the need to seek personal enrichment, most of the Italians who moved to Eritrea created a dense network of companies capable of influencing the economic structure of the Eritrean colony, which developed characteristics that were quite peculiar in the Italian colonial context.
For the purposes of this analysis, already known documentary materials and unpublished and sometimes not inventoried sources, preserved in the Italian and European archives, were used: through these documents we want to show the contrast between the ideal project of the regime and the vision of the Italian settlers, for the such as overseas represented a new "frontier" and constituted, at the same time, an opportunity for social ascent and rapid generation of enormous profits
Investments in East Africa. The Entrepreneurial Development of Eritrea in The Italian Imperial Framework Between Government Action and Spontaneous Initiatives of Emigrated Settlers (1934-1941)

Unpublished and sometimes not inventoried sources, identified in the Historical Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Rome), in the Central Archive of the State in Rome, in the Historical Archive of the Bank of Italy (Rome), in the United Nations Library & Archives Geneva and in the Archive of the Istituto Agronomico per l’Oltremare (Forence), have been placed side by side with documentary materials already known, which made it possible to provide a further contribution to understanding the development and economic and social conditions of the Italian community of Eritrea
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
