Kinematic parameters and membership probabilities of open clusters in the Bordeaux PM2000 catalogue

Aims. We derive lists of proper-motions and kinematic membership probabilities for 49 open clusters and possible open clusters in the zone of the Bordeaux PM2000 proper motion catalogue (+ 11 degrees <= delta <= + 18 degrees). We test different parametrisations of the proper motion and position distribution functions and select the most successful one. In the light of those results, we analyse some objects individually. Methods. We differenciate between cluster and field member stars, and assign membership probabilities, by applying a new and fully automated method based on both parametrisations of the proper motion and position distribution functions, and genetic algorithm optimization heuristics associated with a derivative-based hill climbing algorithm for the likelihood optimization. Results. We present a catalogue comprising kinematic parameters and associated membership probability lists for 49 open clusters and possible open clusters in the Bordeaux PM2000 catalogue region. We note that this is the first determination of proper motions for five open clusters. We confirm the non-existence of two kinematic populations in the region of 15 previously suspected non-existent objects.

Review of Voices from the shopfloor: Dramas of the employment relationship,/by Anne-Marie Greene. Aldershot : Ashgate, 2001

This research monograph seeks, as the author puts it, ‘to demonstrate the utility of ethnographic research methods to industrial relations in the developing world’. To this end, the author provides case studies of two lock factories in the West Midlands of England, with data sourced from interviews and observations by the author during a period of two decades in the case of one, and a rather shorter period in the case of the other. The insights gleaned from these two case studies are then considered in the light of the ethnographic literature on industrial relations in the developing world. The body of the book comprises three main chapters which successively examine the issues of paternalism, gender and family, and collective action in the two factories.

Anne Blonstein : poesia como tradução?

Esta dissertação pretende dar a conhecer o trabalho de uma poeta, Anne Blonstein (1958-2011), que se move num “inbetween space” muito próximo ao do tradutor. No primeiro capítulo, damos a conhecer a autora e algumas das suas obras, fazendo um apanhado da sua actual recepção enquanto poeta. No segundo capítulo, olhamos para Anne Blonstein ‘ao microscópio’, apresentando uma leitura radial de um poema seu, so die Bindung ihrer Seele, seguida de uma versão em português analisada segundo o modelo hermenêutico de Venuti (2013). Depois de tecermos algumas considerações sobre o modelo desse autor, que também adoptamos para defender a escrita de Anne Blonstein como tradução, passamos ao terceiro capítulo, em que avançamos com uma reflexão final sobre se e como a poesia de Anne Blonstein poderá ser considerada uma forma de tradução. O trabalho termina com o “Início de uma experimentação” sobre so die Bindung ihrer Seele numa tradução não à letra nem pelo sentido mas letra-a-letra.
