This paper aims to place the study of authorship in contemporary Italian cinema within the inherent practices of on-demand culture. Specifically, its objective is to question the author-platform relationship. Starting from here, we can demonstrate how the concept of Auteur— in the sense of commerce of auteurism (Corrigan), prestige economy and Made in Italy (Cucco) and strategic planning of cultural legitimization politics — is, for on-demand streaming services, a fundamental framework in pursuing a structural continuity between old and new forms of media production, promotion and consumption. Despite their «ideology of disruption», which preaches a global revolution of audiovisual practices and identifies a new technological service with a world improving view, on-demand streaming services employ, in their foundational practices, productive, cultural and spectatorship strategies that are already used by traditional studios and net-works. Among these practices, one of the most important is the authorship framework, which use is analyzed here through a theoretical frame defined as «double logic of convergence», where every on-demand authorial action is placed within a spectrum generated by two opposite poles, defined as content and event. To unify factual and theoretical perspective, this paper takes into account Italian authorship within MUBI Italia, localized branch since 2021 of the main streaming service involved in auteur cinema. Specifically, this case study concerns Alice Rohrwacher, whose film Quattro Strade (Four Roads) is not only the first Italian film available exclusively and globally on MUBI, but the perfect ex-ample how on-demand Italian authorship— in its commercial branding and artistic prestige — can serve the cultural politics and the glocal growth of platforms, even within that content/event contradiction which stays ontological to streaming consumption.

Writing a scientific article and being able to get it published in an important journal is the last step before considering your study project completed. Scientific publications have a well-defined structure, aimed at greater communication efficiency. Whoever is preparing a paper to be published must therefore know these rules in order to get accepted his article. The aim of this review is therefore to provide authors with practical advice on how to prepare the manuscript. Ethical aspects which are a precise responsibility of the authors, reviewers and publisher, and which concern the entire publication process are also considered. At the same time, we give to readers the keys to assess the quality of a publication. The review is structured into three parts: preparation of an article, how to write the various types of articles and finally the path from sending to the magazine to the publication.

This paper deals with anonymity as a category opposed to authorship. After some general considerations, the broader political and cultural status of anonymity is described in the context of fifth-century Athens. The case-study of the epigrams of Eion offers a particularly illuminating viewpoint on the emic perception of anonymity as democratic practice. Some final conclusions are drawn on the fundamental analogy between the discursive practices of literary and political anonymity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper deals with some cases of doubtful attribution of Greek comedies that are known to us only through indirect tradition. The earliest stages of the transmission of such plays are reconsidered by proposing the following set of categories: texts that the scholars of Alexandria had been unable to access; linguistic features which raised suspicion of misattribution; the production of diaskeuai ('new editions'); confusion between members of the same family (e.g. between father and son, as in the case of Aristophanes and Araros). These categories help us reframe doubts about authorship, which may go back to the Alexandrian scholars. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper provides a reflection about anonymity and authorship in folk poetry in general and in the Greek folk poetry in particular. Anonymity means absence of an author with historical entity and it is a characteristic feature of folk poetry. On the other hand, every text has an author, but the author of folk poetry has a different relationship with his work from the literary author; he is constrained in his task by the traditionality of themes and form, wich are related to the extraliterary fonction of folk poetry. Four interesting cases of Greek folk poetry are analised which have been attributed by the tradition to historically existing authors, and the reasons of such attribution are investigated.

P.Oxy. 2248 was published by Lobel (1952) as part of a 'oµµ" of Aeschylus' Semele on the basis of a palaeographical standpoint (cf. P.Oxy. 2164). According to modern scholars, the Aeschylean authorship of the papyrus could likely be confirmed thanks to some textual expressions (cf. ll. 2, 5, 12). In fact, the context seems to suggest a dialogue between the Chorus and another character about an adverse fate. The text, however, can be generally reconstructed, though not in detail, and from the reconstruction a more or less clear picture of its contents may be presented. There are still uncertain readings and some unresolved issues in the text, but it is my hope that this paper could overcome some of these difficulties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The question of the authorship of the literary corpus preserved under the name of Byzantine Emperor Constantine VII. Porphyrogenitus (913-959) has preoccupied scholars for more than a century. Uncertainty in the emperor's authorship arose for the most part due to the multitude of style levels of his writings, which in recent research has resulted in a disputation of the authorship of Porphyrogenitus involving most of the works attributed to him. This paper deals with the stylistic features of those parts of the Corpus Constantineum in which, according to experts, Porphyrogenitus had his own creative share. The results show that Constantine wrote using approximately six different style levels, and that the appearance of different stylistic expressions was conditioned by the literary genre, the subject matter and the circumstances addressed by the work in question. The common stylistic features present in the segments of the emperor's writings covered in this paper point to the fact that, in this case, it is possible that they were written by the same author, one who varied his writing style.

The paper seeks to define the concept of digital anonymity. Digital anonymity is defined as the autopoietic condition of architectural design in the digital era, a state in which the combination of decontextualisation and depersonalisation of the design process leads towards emergent and anonymous design results. Starting from the analysis of principles coming from the architectural world and then extending their definitions to considerations relative to other disciplines, the paper tries to delineate a new ethic of human-machine interaction and integration in the current architectural discipline. The evidence suggests that digital anonymity is the touchstone of an ongoing evolutionary process, which is translating architectural design into its new digital realm.

Disclosure of potential conflicts of interest (COI) is used by biomedical journals to guarantee credibility and transparency of the scientific process. COI disclosure, however, is not systematically nor consistently dealt with by journals. Recent joint editorial efforts paved the way towards the implementation of uniform vehicles for COI disclosure. This paper provides a comprehensive editorial perspective on classical COI-related issues. New insights into current COI policies and practices among European Society of Cardiology national cardiovascular journals, as derived from a cross-sectional survey using a standardised questionnaire, are discussed.

The most recent evidences on HIV infection have been obtained through large multicentre trials, or intercohort analyses including patients enrolled by hundreds of investigators-coinvestigators around the world. While extensively pooled data are needed to assess infrequent events (proportionally rare toxicity), long-term end-points (like mortality), or to perform efficacy or non-inferiority comparisons between different therapeutic strategies, relevant biases-distorsions descending from the extremely elevated number of enrolling centers and sperimentators are expected, while the full report among quoted co-authors of all investigators and co-investigators supports an unacceptable number of presumptive authors of each paper, ranging from hundreds to over one thousand.

This article explores the return of Twin Peaks in 2017, exploring how the series’ revival may threaten fans’ sense of trust in the text and their own fan identity (Williams, 2015). Many fans welcome the return of beloved shows such as Twin Peaks and the involvement of original creators Mark Frost and David Lynch offers a ʻguaranteeʼ of authenticity, whilst the return of cast members presents the opportunity to re-visit favourite characters. This paper firstly explores how Twin Peaks’ resurrection allows consideration of fan responses to the continuation of an assumed dormant textual world by exploring the potential impact of the return of original actors and the series’ creators.Secondly, the paper considers the impact of Lynch’s temporary departure from the series in April 2015 and the subsequent actor-led campaign to encourage his return. The “No Lynch, No Peaks” campaign allows exploration of how the actors involved positioned themselves as both fans and potential employees. The paper thus analyses David Lynch’s enduring position as the auteur of Twin Peaks and how the campaign allows consideration of the actors as media professionals, fans of Lynch, and figures who display forms of cultural and symbolic capital (Bourdieu. 1984).

This paper aims to assess the involvement of Florentine patrician women in the management of the household and the written memories of the lineage, between the fifteenth and sixteenth century. I will focus on a type of source that has so far received little attention: their books of accounts and ricordi. In a context in which, according to an extensive historiography, women had limited legal and economic rights and in which men kept household accounts and family memories, these women's writings are particularly valuable. Based on the preliminary results of ongoing research, the observation starts from a significant case study: a booklet (1553-1563) opened by a Florentine widow, Francesca Boninsegni, to keep accounts with her mother, Tommasa Sertini. Today this document is kept in a heterogeneous documentary collection. I will try to reconstruct the documentary context and the family networks in which the book was used and circulated. Moreover, the experience of Tommasa and Francesca will be constantly crossed with the account books kept by other women at the same time. Finally, this analysis will allow us to shed light on the multiple meanings that these pragmatic writings could have had in everyday life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to acquire an understanding of how the ekdosis of a text was constructed by the Alexandrian philologists, it is essential to keep in mind the common technical and material aspects of book production, designed to improve the new copy that was produced. The grammarians employed precisely these well-known methods that had the character of craft work, but utilized them in pursuit of a critical-philological aim, namely the creation not merely of a good copy, but rather of a good edition of the text itself. From this perspective, the present paper examines the example of a papyrus of Aeschines, P.Oxy. 2404. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objectiu: analitzar i caracteritzar els principis ètics relatius als conflictes d'autoria que recullen en les seves normes les revistes d'educació incloses en el Journal Citation Reports (JCR). -- Metodologia: anàlisi de contingut de les indicacions ètiques, les normes d'enviament, les guies per a autors i les normes per a revisors de les revistes que formen part de la categoria d'educació i recerca en l'educació del JCR. Es va analitzar la presència de les categories següents: criteris d'inclusió i exclusió, ordre i nombre màxim d'autors, paper de l'autor de correspondència, canvis en l'autoria i conflictes entre estudiants i supervisors. Es van categoritzar els resultats segons l'editorial, l'àrea geogràfica de publicació i el quartil del JCR. -- Resultats: una mica més de la meitat de les revistes analitzades inclouen principis ètics relacionats amb l'autoria en les seves normes. Els més presents són els que fan referència als criteris d'inclusió, seguits dels referents a l'ordre dels autors i el paper de l'autor de correspondència. L'àrea geogràfica de publicació constitueix un factor determinant a l'hora de prestar més o menys atenció a aquestes qüestions, al contrari del que passa amb el factor d'impacte, que no genera diferències significatives. Objective: The article analyses and characterizes the ethical principles that underpin publication rules about authorship disputes in the education journals listed in Journal Citation Reports (JCR). -- Methodology: The article analyses the content of the ethical principles, submission conditions and author and reviewer guidelines required by the journals listed in the JCR subject category “Education and Educational Research”. It analyses the presence of the following categories: inclusion and exclusion criteria, author order and maximum number of authors, corresponding author’s role, changes to authorship and conflicts of interest between students and their supervisors or mentors. The results are classified according to publisher, geographical region and JCR quartile. -- Results: A little over half of the journals analysed include authorship-related ethical principles in their publication rules. Most commonly, these principles relate to inclusion criteria, followed by author order and corresponding author’s role. Geographical region plays a decisive role in determining how far these principles are applied, while impact factor does not.

(What can) curatorial work create? - Considering the consolidation traces of the curator’s profession in the last decades, as well as the dissemination of its modus operandi for beyond the traditional field of art, this paper aims to identify the causes that lead us to speculate about the emergence of a possible curatorial language, which would consolidate whether as a reaction to internal transformations of art making, or due the influence of new media’s operational logic. By approaching different aspects of curatorial practices, this paper intends to outline some elements that allow to think critically about the curator’s symbolic autonomy.

The contribution presents the first significant results of the application to some important case studies - from Petrarca's Bucolicum Carmen (Fazion, Ventura), to some papers of Giuseppe Raimondi's Fund (Obbiso, Rossi), to Carlo Levi's Quaderno a cancelli (Gasperina) - of different types of multispectral analysis, with innovative tools such as the Forinst-MSM microscope, acquired by the Department of Classical Philology and Italianistics thanks to the Department of Excellence project 2017-2022. The microscope, which was used both on site and at the places where the analyzed manuscript documents were preserved, not only magnifies the detail, allowing the analysis of the stratigraphy of the writings and the identification of the various correction campaigns, but also, thanks to a filter wheel, can select the different wavelengths refracted by the light on the analyzed pigment, and thus use the most suitable visual band for deciphering the writings. This extremely useful tool was presented at the 2019 and 2020 Researchers' Night, to great interest.

After an introduction, which outlines the status quaestionis of the problem regarding Hieronymus' authorship of the Tractatus in psalmos, the paper focuses attention on the interpretation of the image of the tree which has fruits and leaves (Sal 1,3), by highlighting Origen's influence and the particularity of Hieronymus' exegesis. The same method of analysis is applied to the interpretation of the image of the treasure in earthen vessels (2Cor 4,7) and of the meaning of the name of Jesus. The research allows us to understand the features of Hieronymus' philology and offers further proof in favour of Hieronymus' authorship of the Tractatus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article makes a case for the academic soundness of reading together several television shows by the same showrunner. Zeroing in on the case of David Simon, the essay traces the difficulties that one faces if one aims to view together The Corner, The Wire, Generation Kill, Treme, Show Me a Hero and The Deuce. It also aims to point out the reason how one can study an oeuvre without overemphasizing the agency of the individual in a highly collaborative medium. To that end, the article considers how intellectual historian Quentin Skinner’s concept “the mythology of coherence” can help qualify some of the issues with reading several television series together. The article further argues that television scholar Erlend Lavik’s term “focused overarching authorship” supports the validity in trying to tease out a collected vision in Simon’s television serials. For while David Simon is a sine qua non for the programs he has served as the showrunner on, the paper argues that it is crucial that we do not let all textual components point back to Simon as the originator of the textual utterance.

In the midst of the digital revolution, we are confronted with the task of defining how media will change our lives and how we communicate with each other in the years to come. Narrative, as one of the most ancient communication tools, has undergone substantial structural changes. This paper addresses how these changes impact the way we read and write. Does the same story conveyed through different media channels signify in the same manner? In other words, what are the differences between a printed story and a digitally presented one? Have electronic reader devices altered the way stories are told and created? And how is networked communication changing the ways we tell stories?

L'objectiu d'aquest treball és estudiar l'accés obert, la generalització i l'impacte de la recerca en documentació a Espanya. S'ha dut a terme un estudi exploratori, a partir de les dades del dipòsit E-LIS i de la font de dades bibliomètriques IN-RECS. S'han identificat els articles publicats durant el període 1991–2002 en revistes que no oferien accés obert i s'ha comprovat si havien estat dipositats en l'E-LIS. Després, s'ha comparat l'impacte d'aquests articles segons el nombre de citacions rebudes. Finalment, s'ha observat quin percentatge dels articles més citats segons aquesta font estaven disponibles en accés obert. Els resultats reflecteixen en el cas espanyol i en la nostra disciplina un estadi encara incipient de l'ús dels dipòsits i de l'autoarxivament, la qual cosa no permet d'establir per al període analitzat una correspondència positiva directa entre l'accés obert i l'impacte de la recerca.This paper analyses open access, dissemination and the impact of information research in Spain. An exploratory study was carried out using data from the E-LIS repository and IN-RECS, which is a source of bibliometric data. Articles published between 1991 and 2002 in subscription journals were identified. It was checked whether these articles had also been deposited in E-LIS. Subsequently, the impact of these articles was compared by analysing the number of citations each one received. Finally, we calculated the percentage of the most frequently cited articles (according to this source) that were available as open access contributions. The results show that in the Spanish field of information science the use of repositories and self-archiving is only just beginning. Therefore, it was not possible to establish a direct relationship between open access and the impact of research for the period in question.
