Book illustration, as (intersemiotic) translation: Pictures translating words

This article examines book illustrations through the prism of Translation Studies. It mainly suggests that the pictures in illustrated books are (intersemiotic) translations of the text and that, as such, they can be analyzed making use of the same tools applied to verbal interlingual translation. The first section deals with the theoretical bases upon which illustrations can be regarded as translations, concentrating on theories of re-creation, as illustration is viewed essentially as the re-creation of the text in visual form. One of the claims in this section is that, because illustration is carried out in very similar ways as interlingual translation itself, the term ""intersemiotic"" relates more to the (obvious) difference of medium. For this reason the word is most often referred to in parentheses. The second section discusses three particular ways through which illustrations can translate the text, namely, by reproducing the textual elements literally in the picture, by emphasizing a specific narrative element, and by adapting the pictures to a certain ideology or artistic trend. The example illustrations are extracted from different. kinds of publication and media, ranging from Virgil`s Aeneid, Lewis Carroll`s Alice in Wonderland and Mark Twain`s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn to an online comic version of Shakespeare`s Hamlet.

Chroniques de maux (de l’extrême ordinaire) ; suivi de Attaques à vide : bousculer la situation théâtrale au confluent de l’humour et de l’invective dans la pièce Rouge Gueule d’Étienne Lepage

Alice au pays des merveilles et Nietzsche n'ont en commun ni la dentelle ni la chanson. Quelque chose de beaucoup plus fort les unit toutefois; nous le découvrirons peut-être ce jour où voleront les cochons. Ou à la fin de cette pièce, selon le bon vouloir des principaux-ales intéressé-e-s. Pendant ce temps, du fin fond de leur enclos, ils et elles n'en peuvent plus d'attendre. Leur salut ? L'heure du glas ? Leur heure de gloire ? Grands incapables, pugilistes décadents qui se tuent à ne pas se tuer, se déchaînent dans le verbiage, s'érigeant malgré eux contre toute forme de verve. Combattre cet Autre qui s'immisce insidieusement en soi et qui conduit à la perte du moi. C'est dans une folle lucidité que les égos se dérangent sans échanger, s'attaquent sans s'atteindre, hurlent sans être entendus, dans l'espoir, peut-être, de se réveiller in the land of Nod. Comme l’indique le titre, Chroniques de maux (de l’extrême ordinaire) met en scène une suite de chroniques dans lesquelles les principaux-ales intéressé-e-s témoignent de leur mal-être, et ce, à travers l’exploration de lieux communs. La dramaturgie tente, entre autres, de mettre en place une poésie de l’invective et de l’humour; une esthétique du trash-talking et de la logorrhée. Une importance particulière est accordée au rythme et au langage. L’atmosphère alterne résolument lourdeur et ludisme. La pièce Rouge Gueule, d'Étienne Lepage, présente une mécanique visant manifestement à « attaquer » l'Autre, qu’il s’agisse d’un personnage ou du lecteur-spectateur. Les attaques se perpètrent d'une part par un humour cru, influencé par la culture populaire, le trivial; un humour qui fonctionne de manière plutôt classique en convoquant des procédés aisément repérables et sans cesse réutilisés par l'auteur. D’autre part, la mécanique de « combat » se manifeste par l'invective, ainsi que par une violence caractérisée, du début à la fin, par un manque dans la motivation des actions. Ainsi, l’étude Attaques à vide. Bousculer la situation théâtrale au confluent de l’humour et la violence s’intéresse à Rouge Gueule, aux relations qu'entretiennent l’humour et l'univers brutal de la pièce, dans la perspective où l’humour est inextricablement lié à la violence. Une attention particulière est portée sur le personnage type de Lepage de même que sur l’esthétique de « l'arsenal » trash. Cette dernière est analysée afin de mieux circonscrire les attaques : sont-elles des moyens, et le cas échéant, pour parvenir à quelle fin puisque la fable, et donc la « quête », dans le théâtre contemporain est souvent remise en question. Cette étude verra comment les attaques « à vide », sont, chez Lepage, la force motrice de ce que Hans-Thies Lehmann nomme la « situation théâtrale ».

El abismo lógico (Borges y los filósofos de las ideas)

Este libro explora un fenómeno que se repite en algunos textos del escritor argentino Jorge Luis Borges (1899-1986). Está compuesto por nueve capítulos, que corresponden al análisis de la reescritura de nueve distintas propuestas filosóficas. Las propuestas están cobijadas bajo la misma doctrina: el idealismo. Es un libro que se escribe para validar la propuesta de un método de lectura que cuenta a la vez con una dosis de ingenio y con planteamientos rigurosos, permitiendo así un tipo de análisis que, siendo sistemático, es también lúdico, conservando de este modo las funciones fundamentales de la literatura. No pocas conjeturas ha habido acerca de las intenciones de Borges o de sus creencias.El texto propone análisis novedosos de los cuentos de Borges y reevalúa y critica algunos análisis existentes elaborados por diferentes comentaristas. El tipo de análisis propuesto se haría extensivo a otros cuentos de Borges y a otros autores. Es un texto que se esfuerza por tomar distancia de las interpretaciones existentes que hay sobre la obra de Borges y de proponer nuevas lecturas siguiendo un cierto rigor interpretativo. Las conclusiones finales sitúan la propuesta del libro en el centro de debates contemporáneos de la literatura como la muerte del autor, los límites de la interpretación y la intertextualidad. La misma propuesta se encarga de establecer su relación y su distancia con los comentaristas reconocidos y se aparta de propuestas interpretativas pasadas de moda. La aproximación al tema, además, vincula el análisis literario con la historia de la filosofía, haciéndolo interesante para un público más amplio.El texto propone análisis novedosos de los cuentos de Borges y reevalúa y critica algunos análisis existentes elaborados por diferentes comentaristas.

A ideologia dos filmes utilizados na educação infantil: uma análise a partir da teoria crítica

This work has as purpose to show what are the influences of media in the education and in the shaping the thinking and understand that ideologies are present in the films used in the classroom in kindergarten. For this, I directed the discussion beginning by concepts as Ideology and its more different definitions by several thinkers over the years, the thinkers of Critical Theory of Frankfurt School, called “frankfurtians” of first and second generation of this school, also making an association between Cinema and Education, evidencing concepts involving this association as Cultural Industry, using films properly in classrooms in kindergarten, with the teacher as mediator and then discussed what amounts of movies on children's education, how they assist and deepen the knowledge developed by students in schools of infantile education. Additionally, they are exposed the different opinions about the subject Film and Education for students from kindergarten, what benefits and what disadvantages in the use of films, the different opinions on the subject. We also discuss, in this work, the ideologies present in three films produced by Walt Disney, they are Cinderella, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Alice in Wonderland, relating them to how they can contribute to the development and learning students in kindergarten. I associated more as possible the previous discussions to analyze the ideologies present in these films, by summarizing these, and decomposing them through an analysis tool called frame. Finally, I completed everything that was discussed and analyzed, which students in kindergarten may develop with the use of films in schools, what they contribute, in some way, for the learning and education of students as viewers using the school as access to different cultures and the teacher as a mediator of this relationship

A construção do herói vitoriano sob a ótica do enunciador do século XIX: ideologia e simbologia

In this paper the figure of Alice from the book Alice in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll will be analyzed from Tim Burton’s sight in the adaptation for the movies (2010), noticing his analysis of a Victorian argument and his emphasis to a construction of a heroine with a characterization in the female pattern at the present time, considering the structures of the unconsciousness that allowed the character to obtain the wisdom, courage and the capacity to decide its own destiny.

A educação interprofissional e o Pró PET-Saúde USP-Capital 2012/2014: a percepção de tutores, preceptores e estudantes

Nos últimos trinta anos, pesquisadores da área da saúde tem dado especial atenção ao tema da educação interprofissional (EIP), por esta estar relacionada com uma maior satisfação dos usuários e a oferta de uma assistência em saúde mais resolutiva e satisfatória. A necessidade de adotarmos a EIP como uma ferramenta para a formação de profissionais da saúde surge a partir do momento que percebemos que nosso sistema de saúde presta cuidados fragmentados e pouco resolutivos. Atualmente, estudos científicos comprovam que a prática colaborativa e um cuidado ofertado com qualidade é facilmente alcançável se os profissionais trabalharem em equipe com objetivos comuns, sendo imprenscindível o desenvolvimento de habilidades de comunicação interprofissional e prática colaborativa desde o início da graduação. Desta forma, este estudo tomou como objeto de investigação a educação interprofissional, no contexto da atenção primária a saúde e na perspectiva da integração do ensino com os serviços públicos de saúde, por meio do programa Pró PET-Saúde USP-Capital 2012/2014. A escolha do programa para o presente estudo foi devido a natureza interprofissional do projeto, visto que engloba estudantes, preceptores e tutores de diversos cursos da área da saúde e por este ter constituído um espaço privilegiado de aprendizado e aperfeiçoamento na formação em saúde, dando origem a outras iniciativas interprofissionais na Universidade de São Paulo (USP). A coleta de dados ocorreu de duas formas, sendo a primeira por meio de questionários individuais destinado aos profissionais de saúde (preceptores) e estudantes, com trechos da obra de Lewis Carroll \"As Aventuras de Alice no País das Maravilhas\", e por meio de um roteiro de entrevista destinado aos docentes (tutores) participantes do programa. Os dados obtidos foram analisados através da análise temática proposta por Minayo. Os resultados mostram que assim como a personagem Alice do livro de Carroll, muitas vezes ficamos confusos sobre quais opções escolher para aperfeiçoar a nossa formação em saúde. Se não soubermos onde queremos chegar, qualquer caminho se torna o certo, porém as evidências comprovam que a escolha por oportunidades de educação interprofissional na graduação e na pós graduação em saúde podem minimizar estereótipos e preconceitos formados pelos estudantes em relação as outras categorias profissionais e desenvolver habilidades de comunicação interprofissional e resolução de conflitos que contribuirá para uma prática colaborativa e a melhor assistência em saúde. Como produto do mestrado profissional foi elaborado um plano de aula destinado aos estudantes da USP com a finalidade de problematizar e permitir uma breve experiência da educação interprofissional.

Reaching an Underserved Wine Customer: Connecting with the African American Wine Consumer

Marketing strategies addressing underserved African American wine customers’ needs that also positively impact producers’ and retailers’ clientele was the impetus for this exploratory, qualitative paper. African Americans demonstrate a thirst to elevate their education about and be more involved in the wine industry as evidenced by the proliferation of African American wine-tasting groups designed to help educate and expose their membership to a variety of wines. Moreover, compared to the average adult, African-American wine drinkers are 241% more likely to have spent $20 or more on a bottle of store bought wine (Arbitron, 2005). Despite African Americans’ representation as one of the fastest growing ethnic minority segments in the U.S., wine industry strategies don't appear to connect with this market segment. Like Alice in Wonderland, we characterize this phenomenon by suggesting this market segment is ‘peering through the looking glass’. Three focus groups were conducted to specify possible targeted media strategies as well as to identify attitudes and opinions that influence this segment's wine purchasing and consumption behaviors. Industry strategies were suggested that would appear to benefit producers, retailers, and this customer segment. The results of the research will be used to inform a quantitative instrument in order to generalize findings beyond the context of the exploratory setting.

Literary reading is a team game: exercices with Carroll and Carle.

This paper will focus on the issue of training future literary reading mediators or promoters. It will propose a practical exercise on playing with intertextuality with the aid of two children literature classics and masterpieces—The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll (1865) and The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle (1969). This exercise is not designed to be a pedagogical or didactic tool used with children (that could alternatively be done with the same corpora), but it is designed to focus on issues of literary studies and contemporary culture. The aim of this practical exercise with future reading promoters is to enable graduate students or trainees to be able to recognize that literary reading can be a team game. However, before arriving at the agan stage, where the rules get simplified and attainable by young readers, hard and solitary work of the mediator is required. The rules of this solitary game of preparing the reading of classical texts are not always evident. On the other hand, the reason why literary reading could be (and perhaps should be) defined as a new team game in our contemporary and globalized world derives directly from the fact that we now live in a world where mass culture is definitely installed. We should be pragmatic on evaluating the conditions of communication between people (not only young adults or children) and we should look the way people read the signs on everyday life and consequently behave in contemporary society, and then apply the same rules or procedures to introduce old players such as the classical books in the game. We are talking about adult mediators and native digital readers. In the contemporary democratic social context, cultural producers and consumers are two very important elements (as the book itself) of the literary polissystem. So, teaching literature is more than ever to be aware that the literary reader meaning of a text does not reside only in the text and in its solitary relationship with the quiet and comfortably installed reader. Meaning is produced by the reader in relation both to the text in question and to the complex network of texts invoked in the reading process and plural connections provided by the world of a new media environment.

Between Cratylism and Positivism: the Old Poem and What Alice Found There

En aquest article em referiré molt sumàriament a la fi lologia del dinou, mirant de relacionar-la amb tot el joc de paraules en Lewis Carrol, per tal d'establir-hi una trama correcta de (dis)continuïtats. El meu objectiu és considerar el Jabberwocky de Humpty Dumpty en el context de la feina i les descobertes de la moderna fi lologia. F. A. Wolf i J. Grimm condensen bona cosa dels experiments radicals i les troballes que tingueren lloc en aquells moments, que podríem contrastar amb les aventures textuals d'Alícia a l'altra banda de l'espill. Els llibres de l'altra banda necessiten intèrprets i cerquen la versió correcta, original, de la mateixa manera que la interpretació dels mots depèn d'un mètode fi able. Segurament Lewis Carroll com a jove fi lòleg era capaç de jugar bé amb aquelles troballes, entre un món que s'acabava i un altre que començava.

Measurement of k(892)*0 resonance production in p-pb collisions with the alice experiment at the lhc

̀ qui presentato lo studio della produzione della risonanza K∗0 in collisioni p-Pb con l’esperimento ALICE presso LHC. L’elaborato si compone di una introduzione sulla natura del fenomeno studiato: la formazione del Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP), uno stato della materia fortemente interagente ad alte temperatura e densità d’energia. Vengono descritte le segnature studiate ai fini di identificare il suddetto fenomeno, riportando come esempio concreto i risultati sperimentali. Successivamente l’acceleratore di particelle, LHC, e l’esperimento, ALICE, vengono brevemente introdotti. Più in dettaglio ven- gono descritti i rivelatori di ALICE effettivamente usati per l’analisi, a cui sono dedicate sezioni approfondite. Viene infine introdotta l’analisi e le sue motivazioni. Il metodo utilizzato e lo studio degli errori da associare alla misura sono illustrati in ogni loro passo e supportati dai risultati ottenuti. La discussione finale dei risultati include il confronto con i risultati preceden- temente ottenuti da ALICE in collisioni pp e Pb-Pb e da altri esperimenti.

Measurement of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays in p-Pb collisions at $\\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02$ TeV using TPC and EMCal detectors with ALICE at LHC

Heavy-ion collisions are a powerful tool to study hot and dense QCD matter, the so-called Quark Gluon Plasma (QGP). Since heavy quarks (charm and beauty) are dominantly produced in the early stages of the collision, they experience the complete evolution of the system. Measurements of electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decay is one possible way to study the interaction of these particles with the QGP. With ALICE at LHC, electrons can be identified with high efficiency and purity. A strong suppression of heavy-flavour decay electrons has been observed at high $p_{m T}$ in Pb-Pb collisions at 2.76 TeV. Measurements in p-Pb collisions are crucial to understand cold nuclear matter effects on heavy-flavour production in heavy-ion collisions. The spectrum of electrons from the decays of hadrons containing charm and beauty was measured in p-Pb collisions at $\\sqrt = 5.02$ TeV. The heavy flavour decay electrons were measured by using the Time Projection Chamber (TPC) and the Electromagnetic Calorimeter (EMCal) detectors from ALICE in the transverse-momentum range $2 < p_ < 20$ GeV/c. The measurements were done in two different data set: minimum bias collisions and data using the EMCal trigger. The non-heavy flavour electron background was removed using an invariant mass method. The results are compatible with one ($R_ \\approx$ 1) and the cold nuclear matter effects in p-Pb collisions are small for the electrons from heavy-flavour hadron decays.

Teleportation in a non-inertial frame

In this work, we describe the process of teleportation between Alice in an inertial frame, and Rob who is in uniform acceleration with respect to Alice. The fidelity of the teleportation is reduced due to Davies-Unruh radiation in Rob's frame. In so far as teleportation is a measure of entanglement, our results suggest that quantum entanglement is degraded in non-inertial frames. We discuss this reduction in fidelity for both bosonic and fermionic resources.

Uma visita ao universo matemático de Lewis Carrol e o (re)encontro com sua lógica do nonsense

Notable mathematics teacher, Lewis Carroll, pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson (1832-1898), made the mixture of mathematics with literature a ludic environment for learning that discipline. Author of Alice s Adventures In Wonderland and its sequel Alice Through The Looking Glass, he eventually created a real and complex universe which uses what we call the logic of the nonsense as an element to motivate the development of mathematical thinking of the reader, taking it as well, learn by establishing a link between the concrete (mathematics) and the imaginary (their universe). In order to investigate and discuss the educational potential of their works and state some elements that can contribute to a decentralized math education from the traditional method of following the models and decorate formulas, we visited his works based on the studies of archeology of knowledge (FOUCAULT, 2007), the rational thought and symbolic thinking (VERGANI, 2003) and about the importance of stories and narratives to the development of human cognition (FARIAS, 2006). Through a descriptive, analytical study, we used the literary construction and presented part of our study in form of a mathematical novel, to give the mathematical school a particular charm, without depriving it of its basics properties as discipline and content. Our study showed how the works of Carroll have a strong didactic element that can deploy in various activities of study and teaching for mathematics classes

Accessible information in a two-qubit system through the quantum steering ellipsoids formalism

Capire come ottenere l'informazione accessibile, cioè quanta informazione classica si può estrarre da un processo quantistico, è una delle questioni più intricate e affascinanti nell'ambito della teoria dell'informazione quantistica. Nonostante l'importanza della nozione di informazione accessibile non esistono metodi generali per poterla calcolare, esistono soltanto dei limiti, i più famosi dei quali sono il limite superiore di Holevo e il limite inferiore di Josza-Robb-Wootters. La seguente tesi fa riferimento a un processo che coinvolge due parti, Alice e Bob, che condividono due qubits. Si considera il caso in cui Bob effettua misure binarie sul suo qubit e quindi indirizza lo stato del qubit di Alice in due possibili stati. L'obiettivo di Alice è effettuare la misura ottimale nell'ottica di decretare in quale dei due stati si trova il suo qubit. Lo strumento scelto per studiare questo processo va sotto il nome di 'quantum steering ellipsoids formalism'. Esso afferma che lo stato di un sistema di due qubit può essere descritto dai vettori di Bloch di Alice e Bob e da un ellissoide nella sfera di Bloch di Alice generato da tutte le possibili misure di Bob. Tra tutti gli stati descritti da ellissoidi ce ne sono alcuni che manifestano particolari proprietà, per esempio gli stati di massimo volume. Considerando stati di massimo volume e misure binarie si è riuscito a trovare un limite inferiore all'informazione accessibile per un sistema di due qubit migliore del limite inferiore di Josza-Robb-Wootters. Un altro risultato notevole e inaspettato è che l'intuitiva e giustificata relazione 'distanza tra i punti nell'ellissoide - mutua informazione' non vale quando si confrontano coppie di punti ''vicine'' tra loro e lontane dai più distanti.
