Il canone del Novecento letterario italiano in Spagna

The essay offers a thorough analysis on the issue of the reception of XXth Century Italian Literature in Spain. The age af the avant-garde and the late Fifties are signalled as the decisive moments in the affirmation of such influence, whereas the Sixties mark the beginning of a declining phase, which had different outcomes in poetry and in narrative. In defining this complex trajectory, a wide range of cultural indicators have been used (such as: translations; anthologies; militant criticism; the influence upon individual writers or rather upon relevant reading communities etc.), and the limitations imposed by the specific cultural and epistemological expectations, considered in their well determined historical context, have also been observed.

Excuse me, but your accent is very unusual. The complexity of establishing third languages in Inglourious Basterds. Applying a model of translation analysis to dubbing

The growing multilingual trend in movie production comes with a challenge for dubbing translators since they are increasingly confronted with more than one source language. The main purpose of this master’s thesis is to provide a case study on how these third languages (see CORRIUS and ZABALBEASCOA 2011) are rendered. Another aim is to put a particular focus on their textual and narrative functions and detect possible shifts that might occur in translations. By applying a theoretical model for translation analysis (CORRIUS and ZABALBEASCOA 2011), this study describes how third languages are rendered in the German, Spanish, and Italian dubbed versions of the 2009 Tarantino movie Inglourious Basterds. A broad range of solution-types are thereby revealed and prevalent restrictions of the translation process identified. The target texts are brought in context with some sociohistorical aspects of dubbing in order to detect prevalent norms of the respective cultures andto discuss the acceptability of translations (TOURY 1995). The translatability potential of even highly complex multilingual audiovisual texts is demonstrated in this study. Moreover, proposals for further studies in multilingual audiovisual translation are outlined and the potential for future investigations in this field thereby emphasised.

Un ratón de biblioteca : la traducción de los cómics de Disney en el Topolino italiano a finales de los años cuarenta

Este es un estudio cualitativo de la traducción de los cómics Disney al italiano, un case study que examina una historia larga publicada en 1949. La contextualización histórica introduce el entramado socio-cultural de la época apuntando a uno de los aspectos fundamentales de la historia de los cómics Disney en Italia, el de la progresiva “localización” ― esto es, la realización in loco ― de la producción. Una panorámica de los estudios sobre la traducción del cómic y de otras tipologías afines ayuda a definir el marco teórico en el que se inscribe el trabajo.La propuesta de clasificación, concebida de manera autónoma, guarda relación con los modelos causales de los Translation Studies. La hipótesis es que se trata de un caso de “difference in sameness”, o sea una operación original de conversión de un producto que se distancia de la traducción en la medida en que no parece buscar un efecto “equivalente”.

La introducción del delito de "atti persecutori" en el Código penal italiano: La tipificación del stalking en Italia

El presente estudio expone la regulación del nuevo delito de "atti persecutori" introducido en el Código Penal italiano. El Decreto Legge 11/2009, de 23 de febrero, convalidado por el Parlamento italiano mediante la Ley 28/2009, ha incluido un nuevo art. 612 bis al CP italiano. Con la inclusión de dicho delito entre los que protegen la libertad del individuo Italia se incorpora a la corriente político-criminal que propugna la criminalización del stalking. La incriminación de dichas conductas de acoso constituye una orientación iniciada en Estados Unidos a principios de los 90, que ha colonizado otros países del Common Law y que finalmente ha llegado a la Europa continental. En este trabajo se analizan básicamente los elementos del tipo del nuevo delito italiano. Sin embargo, no se deja de atender ni a la previa conceptuación de este fenómeno ni a otras medidas protectoras de la víctima del stalking que se incorporan al ordenamiento italiano mediante la presente Ley.

Un nuevo problema en espacios verdes urbanos: el pulgón Myzocallis (Lineomyzocallis) walshii (Hemiptera: Aphididae) y el roble americano (Quercus rubra)

Myzocallis (Lineomyzocallis) walshii (Monell) es un pulgón nativo del este de Nor- teamérica que se detectó por primera vez en España en 1995 y cuyo principal huésped es el roble americano (Quercus rubra L.). Los robles americanos se emplean como árbol ornamental en ambientes urbanos en diversas ciudades españolas, donde las proliferaciones del pulgón generan gran cantidad de melaza provocando daños estéticos y de confort. Durante 2008 y 2009 se efectuó el seguimiento de la fenología y de la densidad de población de M. walshii y de otros pulgones en robles americanos plantados en alineación en la ciudad de Girona y se estimaron los daños producidos. Asimismo se valoró la relación entre la abundancia de pulgones y los daños ocasionados. Finalmente se identificaron los principales grupos de enemigos naturales, a la vez que se cuantificó su abundancia. M. walshii fue la única especie de pulgón que afectó a los robles americanos. Este pulgón pasa el invierno en forma de huevo, las primeras ninfas surgen a la salida de hojas y las distintas generaciones de individuos partenogenéticos se mantienen a niveles variables hasta mediados de otoño, cuando aparecen las formas sexuales. Existe una correlación positiva entre la abundancia del pulgón y los daños de confort, incluso cuando la densidad es baja. Parasitoides y coccinélidos fueron los enemigos naturales más frecuentemente registrados, aunque su abundancia fue relativamente escasa. Se discute el papel de las condiciones climáticas y de los enemigos naturales en la determinación de la abundancia de M. walshii.

Serlianas durante el Renacimiento italiano y español: del triunfo de la religión católica al lenguaje imperial

This article presents a panoramic view of the development of the so-called serliana or Serlian motif throughout the Italian Renaissance, focusing on the most relevant examples in the architecture of that period. The use of this motif during the Early Renaissance was pioneered by Filippo Brunelleschi in religious buildings. As its employment become widespread in a range of different settings, architects frequently incorporated local building traditions. It was only during the last twenty years of the Quattrocento that Giuliano da Sangallo and Leonardo da Vinci adopted the Serlian arch in residential architecture designed for the ruling elites. Thanks to Bramante and other artists such as Raphael, Baldassare Peruzzi, Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and Giulio Romano, the motif was extraordinarily popular during the High Renaissance period. Ever-increasingly complex and monumental compositions eased the adaptation of the serliana to both exterior and interior spaces, and in works such as the design by Galeazzo Alessi in Genoa, the imperial connotation of the motif is clear. This process illustrates the progressive transfer from the religious to the courtly sphere, and, at the same time, the permeability between the sacred and the profane. During the sixteenth century, Spain too was at the European avant-garde, due to its contacts with Italy and the latest fashions, such as the employment of the serliana in residential architecture, were followed in the fortified palace at La Calahorra, the Vich palace in Valencia, or the palace of Charles V in Granada, as part of a complex iconography of power. Throughout the sixteenth century, the serliana featured in that specifically-Spanish typology, the monumental altarpiece or retablo, as well as in monumental tombs. Italy was certainly the leading force in the process and had an indisputable influence on Spanish art, but the latter would develop its own original solutions in the sixteenth century, which matched the innovative character of Italian creations.

Tan cerca, tan lejos: Aldo Rossi y el Grupo 2C. Arquitectura, ideología y disidencias en la Barcelona de los 70 = So close, so far : Aldo Rossi and the 2C Group. Architecture, ideology and dissents in the Barcelona of the 70s

The Catalan reception of the 1966 manifestos by Robert Venturi and Aldo Rossi marks the scenario of a breakup: while North America debates about the architectural shape as a linguistic structure, Italy dips its roots in the Modern Movement tradition as an origin for a new temporal and ideological architectural dimension. The first contacts between Rossi and Spain verify this search and allow the Italian to construct common itineraries with some architects from Barcelona. From these exchanges the 2C group will be born, taking part on typical vanguardist mechanisms: they will publish the magazine, 2C. The construction of the city (1972-1985), they will attend the XV Triennale di Milano in 1973 with the Torres Clavé Plan (1971) and the Aldo Rossi + 21 Spanish architects exhibition (1975) while he will organize the three issues of the Seminarios Internacionales de Arquitectura Contemporánea (S.I.AC.) which took place in Santiago, Sevilla and Barcelona between 1976 and 1980. In front of the unfolding of the firsts, the American contacts of Federico Correa, Oriol Bohigas, Lluís Domènech and the PER studio or the teaching work of Rafael Moneo from Barcelona since 1971, allow to draw replica itineraries with the foundation of the magazine Arquitecturas Bis (1974-1985), the organization of the meetings between international publications such as Lotus and Oppositions in Cadaqués (1975) and New York (1977), while stablishing exchanges with members of the Five Architects. Replicas that in 1976 conduct the initial ideological affirmations between Rossi and the 2C group towards irreconcilable distancing. Verifying the itinerary of the journey that the Italian leads from the Italian resistance towards the American backing down is part of the aim of this article
