Documentare gli incidenti omofobici e transfobici: Traduzione dall'inglese in italiano di un manuale informativo di ilga-europe.

The aim of this dissertation is to provide a translation from English into Italian of a handbook published online by the non-governmental organization Ilga-Europe, which aims to strengthen human rights and equality for LGBTI people at European level. Translating the whole handbook was not possible for this project, this is the reason why I decided to translate the introduction, the first chapter and one of the three appendices listed in the handbook. This work is divided into six chapters. The first one introduces the main themes of the text, i.e. what does the acronym LGBT stands for, the issue of homophobia and the measures taken against it at international and national level. The second one provides a description of the three organizations ILGA, ILGA-Europe and Arcigay, focusing on their roles and purposes. The third chapter contains the description of specialized languages, with special attention to the juridical one; moreover, it provides an analysis of the text type. The fourth chapter focuses on the resources used to translate this text. The fifth chapter includes the source text, alongside with its actual translation. Finally, the sixth and last chapter offers a detailed comment on translation difficulties and translation choices.

“Weil mein Vater unsterblich ist” “Lunga assenza” e onnipresenza del padre in Brigitte Schwaiger

All'interno della sua opera "Lange Abwesenheit", l'autrice austriaca Brigitte Schwaiger tratteggia il ritratto del padre, un tempo sostenitore del partito nazionalsocialista e coinvolto nelle vicende della Seconda Guerra Mondiale. In bilico fra condanna e difesa, fra amore e odio incondizionati, l'autrice arriva a riconoscere che la figura paterna reale e ormai defunta, rimasta assente durante l'infanzia e la giovinezza, si è trasformata dentro di lei in un'ombra onnipresente e "immortale".
