Preminenza e distinzione in Italia tra XIV e XV secolo. Alcuni problemi
Get PDFPremessa Cercherò, in questo contributo, di presentare alcuni elementi di una ricerca in corso sui processi di produzione della distinzione sociale nell’Italia tardomedievale. Uno dei suoi presupposti è l’individuazione dei confini dello spazio da analizzare. Come selezionare i casi –cioè i luoghi– da sottoporre ad analisi? Come costruire una rete entro la quale dati e fenomeni molto diversi tra loro possano risultare realisticamente comparabili? Proverò qui a mostrare qualche tratto di utili..
The Political Logic of Conflict. A Debate on Machiavelli in Tumult by Gabriele Pedullà. Introduction
No full textThis section of the issue offers a debate on G. Pedullà’s Machiavelli in Tumult: The Discourses on Livy and the Origins of Political Conflictualism (Cambridge 2018). Its ambition is to bring together textual and philological analysis that is «internal» to the great fabric of Machiavellian exegesis, alongside
theoretical-political questioning «external» to that fabric. The main objective is to offer a new image of Machiavelli as an author who breaks with a long and authoritative tradition, one which exalted concord as an absolute political value, and to inaugurate a new way of observing political and social phenomena. The book is discussed by A. Brown, J. Hankins, J. Mc-Cormick, and N. Urbinat
OGGETTIVAZIONE E STORICITÀ DEI BENI COMUNI
No full textThe progress of the commons as main subject in social sciences and in public debate has caused a new focus on the genealogy of proprietorship and his ideology. Framing this ideology, for a long time individual proprietorship has been represented as opposite to discourses that justified collective resource management. However, looking at the past of juridical systems, it is possible to highlight several links between individual property rights and collective rights. In particular historical analysis reveals that the main conceptual tool for producing both individual and collective ownership consists in instituting the goods as «objects». Both individual ownership and common goods are the effect of a overwhelming trend to making the «thing» an object of appropriation. With regard to commons this mechanism operates through a dual level: naturalization and quest for origins
Lo stato veneziano attraverso Machiavelli (a proposito di "Machiavelli e la crisi dello Stato veneziano")
No full textNel 1974 Innocenzi Cervelli pubblica a Napoli il suo primo libro, dedicato alla crisi che sconvolge Venezia e il suo dominio di Terraferma all’inizio del Cinquecento. Il giovane studioso scelse di integrare nella ricostruzione dell’ambiente politico e intellettuale della laguna un’analisi di tutti i testi machiavelliani pertinenti: non solo le opere maggiori che affrontano esplicitamente il grande problema costituzionale che la Serenissima rappresenta agli occhi dei contemporanei, e dei fiorentini in particolare, ma anche gli scritti «di servizio» che rivelano lo sguardo acuto del Machiavelli ambasciatore, capace di percepire aspetti di Venezia preclusi a altri osservatori. Cervelli, che, come altri, si poneva alla fine degli anni ’60 del XX secolo il problema dello stato moderno, assumeva criticamente il punto di vista originale del segretario fiorentino, che osservava, ad esempio, la reazione che maturò nelle città e nelle comunità soggette a Venezia nei mesi successivi alla rovinosa sconfitta di Agnadello (14 maggio 1509). Il tema fondamentale non era più allora quello classico della stabilità di Venezia, ma piuttosto quello dello Stato veneziano, e il problema che Cervelli si poneva si ricollegava in modo originale alla sfida concettuale che l’esistenza stessa di Venezia come stato aveva posto a Machiavelli, ossia il «miracolo» di un «imperio» ottenuto senza armi proprie, e che regge all’impatto della sconfitta. In questione non era dunque la natura «repubblicana» della costituzione cittadina, ma la complessa, e precoce, forma «statuale» del dominio di Terraferma, dove la pluralità degli attori (dalle comunità rurali ai popolari e ai patriziati cittadini, al mondo dei gentiluomini della dominante), aveva potuto generare dinamiche impreviste subito dopo Agnadello, colte da Machiavelli piú lucidamente di altri protagonisti.In 1974 Innocenzo Cervelli published his first book in Naples, dedicated to the crisis that devastated Venice and its dominions of the Mainland at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The young scholar chose to integrate in the reconstruction of the political and intellectual environment of the lagoon an analysis of all the relevant Machiavellian texts: not only the major works that explicitly address the great constitutional problem that the Serenissima represents in the eyes of contemporaries, and Florentines in particular, but also the professional writings (as the Legations) that reveal the acute gaze of the ambassador Machiavelli, able to perceive aspects of Venice precluded to other observers. Cervelli, who, like others, wondered in the late 60s of the twentieth century, about the problem of the modern state, critically took on the original point of view of the Florentine secretary, who observed, for example, the reaction that developed in the cities and communities subject to Venice in the months following the ruinous defeat of Agnadello (14 May 1509). The fundamental theme was no longer the classic one of the stability of Venice, but rather that of the Venetian State, and the problem that Cervelli posed itself was linked in an original way to the conceptual challenge that the very existence of Venice as a state had posed to Machiavelli, that is, the "miracle" of an "imperio" obtained without its own weapons, and that holds up to the impact of defeat. The "republican" nature of the city's constitution was not, therefore, at issue, but the complex and precocious "state" form of the land's dominion, where the plurality of the actors (from the rural communities to the popular and patrician citizens of the Mainland cities, to the world of the gentlemen of the dominant one), had been able to generate unexpected dynamics immediately after Agnadello, seized by Machiavelli more lucidly than other protagonists

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
