Sedimentology of a Middle Jurassic Base-of-Slope environment, Cutri Formation, Mallorca

The Cutri Formation’s, type location, exposed in the NW of Mallorca, Spain has previously been described by Álvaro et al., (1989) and further interpreted by Abbots (1989) unpublished PhD thesis as a base-of-slope carbonate apron. Incorporating new field and laboratory analysis this paper enhances this interpretation. From this analysis, it can be shown without reasonable doubt that the Cutri Formation was deposited in a carbonate base-of-slope environment on the palaeowindward side of a Mid-Jurassic Tethyan platform. Key evidence such as laterally extensive exposures, abundant deposits of calciturbidtes and debris flows amongst hemipelagic deposits strongly support this interpretation.

Una experiencia didáctica centrada en actividades de pre-traducción en torno a referencias culturales en textos literarios

Este artículo narra una experiencia didáctica vivida en el aula de Traducción 3 C Francés del Grado en Traducción e Interpretación de la Universidad de Granada, que se desarrolla a partir de actividades de pre-traducción, relacionadas con la fase de análisis-comprensión del proceso traductor, es decir, que la traducción en sí no constituye la finalidad de la asignatura, sino que se trata de hacer hincapié en tareas previas que, debido a la falta de tiempo, son demasiadas veces pasadas por alto en las distintas asignaturas de traducción. En el centro del estudio se encuentran las referencias culturales. Se analizan en tres fuentes: la versión traducida al español de un artículo científico redactado inicialmente en inglés; la adaptación libre a obra teatral de la versión traducida; la traducción al francés de la obra teatral.

Vis-á-Vis-á-Vis. The Three-dimensional and artistic view of a problem

ANPO (A Non-predefined Outcome) is an an art-making methodology that employs structuralist theory of language (Saussure, Lacan, Foucault) combined with Hegel’s dialectic and the theory of creation of space by Lefebvre to generate spaces of dialogue and conversation between community members and different stakeholders. These theories of language are used to find artistic ways of representing a topic that community members have previously chosen. The topic is approached in a way that allows a visual, aural, performative and gustative form. To achieve this, the methodology is split in four main steps: step 1 ‘This is not a chair’, Step 2 ‘The topic’, Step 3 ‘ Vis-á-vis-á-vis’ and step 4. ‘Dialectical representation’ where the defined topic is used to generate artistic representations.The step 1 is a warm up exercise informed by the Rene Magritte painting ‘This is not a Pipe’. This exercise aims to help the participants to see an object as something else than an object but as a consequence of social implications. Step 2, participants choose a random topic and vote for it. The artist/facilitator does not predetermine the topic, participants are the one who propose it and choose it. Step 3, will be analysed in this publication and finally step 4, the broken down topic is taken to be represented and analysed in different ways.
