Da Broadway alla gran via: La traduzione spagnola del musical The Lion King

Questa argomentazione tratta la traduzione e l'adattamento spagnolo del musical The Lion King. In primo luogo viene data una descrizione di che cos'è un musical, quali sono le sue origini, quali tematiche vengono affrontate e da quali numeri è composto lo spettacolo. Viene poi introdotto The Lion King con una breve descrizione del film per poi passare al "making of" del musical, abbiamo quindi una breve descrizione di scene, costumi e maschere. La terza parte è dedicata alla traduzione per la scena: vengono identificate le problematiche maggiori di questo campo della traduzione, si analizzano performability, speakability e soprattutto la singability, la caratteristica principale da tenere a mente quando si traduce un musical anche se spesso non gli viene attribuita l'importanza che merita. Viene poi introdotta la traduzione spagnola de El Rey León e del suo traduttore, Jordi Galcerán, di cui viene descritta una breve biografia in quanto il discorso è incentrato soprattutto nella sua esperienza di traduzione. L'ultima parte è l'analisi delle canzoni. Sono state selezionate sette canzoni di cui sono state analizzate nel dettaglio un minimo di due a un massimo di tre strofe. Ognuna di esse è affiancata dalla versione originale inglese in modo da avere subito chiare quali sono le differenze principali.

A Test of Absolute Numerousness Judgments in Lion-Tailed Macaques (Macaca Silenus)

Numerous studies have shown that animals have a sense of quantity and can distinguish between relative amounts. The concepts of relative numerousness, estimation, and subitizing are well established in species as diverse as chimpanzees and salamanders. Mobile animals have practical use for an understanding of number in common situations such as predation, mating, and competition. However, the ability to identify discrete quantities has only been firmly established in humans. The purpose of this study was to test for such “absolute numerousness” judgments in three lion-tailed macaques (Macaca silenus), a non-human primate. The three macaques tested had previously been trained on a computerized matchto- sample (MTS) task using geometric shapes. In this study, they were introduced to a MTS task containing a numerical cue, which required the monkeys to match stimuli containing either one or two items for rewards. If monkeys were successful at the initial matching task, they were tested with stimuli in which the position of the items and then the surface area of the items was controlled. If the monkeys could match successfully without using these non-numerical cues, they would demonstrate the capability to make absolute numerousness judgments. None of the monkeys matched successfully using the numerical cue, so no evidence of absolute numerosity was found. Each macaque progressed through the experiment in an individualized manner, attempting a variety of strategies to obtain rewards. These included side preferences and an alternating-side strategy that were unrelated to the numerical cues in the stimuli. When it became clear that the monkeys were not matching based on a stimulus-based cue, they were tested again on matching geometric shapes. All three macaques stopped using their alternate strategies and were able to match shapes successfully, demonstrating that they were still capable of completing the matching task. The data suggest that the monkeys could not transfer this ability to the numerical stimuli. This indicates that the macaques lack a sense of exact quantity, or that they could not recognize the numerical cues in the stimuli as being relevant to the task.

Investigation of Rudimentary Meta-Cognition in Lion-Tailed Macaques and Tufted Capuchins

Meta-cognition, or "thinking about thinking," has been studied extensively in humans, but very little is known about the process in animals. Although great apes and rhesus macaques (Macaca mulatta) have demonstrated multiple apparently meta-cognitive abilities, other species have either been largely ignored or failed to convincingly display meta-cognitive traits. Recent work by Marsh, however, raised the possibility that some species may possess rudimentary or partial forms of meta-cognition. This thesis sought to further investigate this possibility by running multiple comparative experiments. The goal of the first study was to examine whether lion-tailed macaques, a species that may have a rudimentary form of meta-cognition, are able to use an uncertainty response adaptively, and if so, whether they could use the response flexibly when the stimuli for which the subjects should be uncertain changed. The macaques' acquisition of the initial discrimination task is ongoing, and as such there were not yet data to support a conclusion either way. In the second study, tufted capuchins were required to locate a food reward hidden beneath inverted cups that sat on a Plexiglas tray. In some conditions the capuchins were shown where the food was hidden, in others they could infer its location, and in yet others they were not given information about the location of the food. On all trials, however, capuchins could optionally seek additional information by looking up through the Plexiglas into the cups. In general, capuchins did this less often when they were shown the food reward, but not when they could infer the reward's location. These data suggest capuchins only meta-cognitively control their information seeking in some conditions, and thus, add support to the potential for a rudimentary form of meta-cognition. In convergence with other studies, these results may represent early models for rudimentary meta-cognition, although viable alternative explanations still remain.

Abundance and of mesozooplanktopn in the Gulf of Lion during MOOGLI 1 and 3 in 1998 and 1999

The MOOGLI dataset contains mesozooplankton data collected in 1998-1999 in the Gulf of Lion (North Western Mediterranean Sea). Zooplankton taxonomy-related abundance per unit volume of the water column.

Physical oceanography and current meter measurements on the Gulf of Lion continental margin between June 1993 and July 1996

Nine hydrographic cruises were performed on the Gulf of Lion continental margin between June 1993 and July 1996. These observations are analysed to quantify the fluxes of particulate matter and organic carbon transported along the slope by the Northern Current and to characterise their seasonal variability. Concentration of particulate matter and organic carbon are derived from light-transmission data and water sample analyses. The circulation is estimated from the geostrophic current field. The uncertainty on the transport estimate, related to the error on the prediction of particle concentrations from light-transmission data and the error on velocities, is assessed. The particulate matter inflow entering the Gulf of Lion off Marseille is comparable to the Rhône River input and varies seasonally with a maximum transport between autumn and spring. These modifications result from variations of the water flux rather than variations of the particulate matter concentration. Residual transports of particulate matter and organic carbon across the entire Gulf of Lion are calculated for two cruises enclosing the domain that were performed in February 1995 and July 1996. The particulate matter budgets indicate a larger export from the shelf to deep ocean in February 1995 (110 ± 20 kg/s) than in July 1996 (25 ± 18 kg/s). Likewise, the mean particulate organic carbon export is 12.8 ± 0.5 kg/s in February 1995 and 0.8 ± 0.2 kg/s in July 1996. This winter increase is due to larger allochthonous and autochthonous inputs and also to enhanced shelf-slope exchange processes, in particular the cascading of cold water from the shelf. The export of particulate matter by the horizontal currents is moreover two orders of magnitude larger than the vertical particulate fluxes measured at the same time with sediment traps on the continental slope.
