La traduction de renvois intertextuels dans le roman contemporain : Histoire du Siège de Lisbonne de Saramago et Vou-me embora d'Echenoz

Une des caractéristiques du roman contemporain qui constitue un défi pour le traducteur est l'usage constant que les auteurs y font de l'intertextualité. Ce recours à des renvois intertextuels crée, dans le roman, un rapport ludique selon lequel l'auteur introduit dans son texte des passages au statut différent, que le lecteur devrait trouver et interpréter. Traduire ces romans et ces procédés intertextuels exige du traducteur qu'il assume un rôle différent de celui que la tradition lui accorde: non plus celui du traducteur-reproducteur, mais celui du traducteur-créateur.

Vraisemblance et 'illusion auctoriale' dans le roman contemporain

Les romans contemporains – dont ceux de Jean Echenoz et de Jean-Philippe Toussaint – attirent constamment l'attention sur le caractère construit et artificiel du récit et ont recours à des procédés de réécriture qui fonctionnent comme des clins d'oeil au lecteur, chez qui ils produisent une sensation de complicité avec l'auteur. L'accent y est donc mis sur la présence de l'autorité romanesque plutôt que sur le caractère vraisemblable du monde fictionnel: c'est cette voix qui s'adresse directement au lecteur et la situation d'énonciation qui deviennent vraisemblables et qui assurent ce que l'on appellera une "illusion auctoriale", c'est-à-dire une croyance en un contact ou une relation directe entre lecteur et auteur.

Fractional coins and fractional derivatives

This paper discusses the fundamentals of negative probabilities and fractional calculus. The historical evolution and the main mathematical concepts are discussed, and several analogies between the two apparently unrelated topics are established. Based on the new conceptual perspective, some experiments are performed shading new light into possible future progress.

The roman conquered by delay: reducing the number of preemptions using sleep states

Sleep-states are emerging as a first-class design choice in energy minimization. A side effect of this is that the release behavior of the system is affected and subsequently the preemption relations between tasks. In a first step we have investigated how the behavior in terms of number of preemptions of tasks in the system is changed at runtime, using an existing procrastination approach, which utilizes sleepstates for energy savings purposes. Our solution resulted in substantial savings of preemptions and we expect from even higher yields for alternative energy saving algorithms. This work is intended to form the base of future research, which aims to bound the number of preemptions at analysis time and subsequently how this may be employed in the analysis to reduced the amount of system utilization, which is reserved to account for the preemption delay.

O SUJEITO DE SI NO DISCURSO MEDIEVAL - EM TORNO DO SOLILÓQUIO (DE SANTO AGOSTINHO AO ROMAN DE TRISTAN DE THOMAS D'ANGLETERRE)

Agostinho parece ter sido o primeiro a utilizar o termo solilóquio para designar uma forma específica do diálogo interior da alma que coloca como interlocutores o eu e si próprio. De certa forma, esta estrutura dialógica do solilóquio prolonga os diálogos socráticos, mas situando a interrogação do eu sobre si mesmo no interior do eu, ou seja, tornando-a um exercício preponderantemente mental ainda que passe pelo discurso verbal. O objectivo é fazer desenrolar um diálogo interior em que o indivíduo se vai dando conta progressivamente da ignorância em que está acerca de si mesmo. O Soliloquium1 , atribuído a Agostinho, aprofunda e insiste nesta vertente do discurso interior que constituía já o modo discursivo nas Confissões. Com a utilização desta técnica cria-se um novo procedimento ético segundo o qual a literatura é posta ao serviço da filosofia.

The roman theatre of Bracara Augusta

This paper aims to present the main features of the roman theatre of Bracara Augusta identified in 1999. Although it is still under study, a significant set of evidence made it possible to present its characteristics, to value the socioeconomic issues related with its construction and to discuss the aspects related to the development of the NW Iberian Peninsula cities, where traditionally this type of equipment was believed to be absent, and to understand the diffusion of roman public architecture models in peripheral regions within the Western Empire.
