Traduzir Cesário Verde - Cesário Verde intraduzível

It is main goal of this article to stimulate the debate and reflection on Translation Studies. Based on Cesário Verde‘s poem O Sentimento dum Ocidental (1880) we will discuss the effectiveness and applicability of poetry translation. Since the beginning of the XX century Cesário Verde and his work have been studied on an international range. We may therefore make reference to outnumbered translations of his poems in English, French, German, Italian, and Czech. Poetry translation raises however several difficulties which may affect the comprehension, interpretation and analysis not only of this author but also of his texts. In this manner we will naturally confront as well some of the most relevant items for Translation Studies, namely: Translation purposes and criteria; Translation necessity, possibility and usefulness. We invite you thus to observe the rich and complex Poetry-Translation relation within the analysis of one Cesário‘s poem in Italian, English, German and French.

Social protection systems in vulnerable families: their importance for the public health

OBJECTIVE To analyze the effectiveness of the Chilean System of Childhood Welfare in transferring benefits to socially vulnerable families. METHODS A cross-sectional study with a sample of 132 families from the Metropolitan Region, Chile, stratified according to degree of social vulnerability, between September 2011 and January 2012. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with mothers of the studied families in public health facilities or their households. The variables studied were family structure, psychosocial risk in the family context and integrated benefits from the welfare system in families that fulfill the necessary requirements for transfer of benefits. Descriptive statistics to measure location and dispersion were calculated. A binary logistic regression, which accounts for the sample size of the study, was carried out. RESULTS The groups were homogenous regarding family size, the presence of biological father in the household, the number of relatives living in the same dwelling, income generation capacity and the rate of dependency and psychosocial risk (p ≥ 0.05). The transfer of benefits was low in all three groups of the sample (≤ 23.0%). The benefit with the best coverage in the system was the Single Family Subsidy, whose transfer was associated with the size of the family, the presence of relatives in the dwelling, the absence of the father in the household, a high rate of dependency and a high income generation capacity (p ≤ 0.10). CONCLUSIONS The effectiveness of benefit transfer was poor, especially in families that were extremely socially vulnerable. Further explanatory studies of benefit transfers to the vulnerable population, of differing intensity and duration, are required in order to reduce health disparities and inequalities.

Development and validation of a risk model for prediction of hazardous alcohol consumption in general practice attendees : the PredictAL study

Background: Little is known about the risk of progression to hazardous alcohol use in people currently drinking at safe limits. We aimed to develop a prediction model (predictAL) for the development of hazardous drinking in safe drinkers. Methods: A prospective cohort study of adult general practice attendees in six European countries and Chile followed up over 6 months. We recruited 10,045 attendees between April 2003 to February 2005. 6193 European and 2462 Chilean attendees recorded AUDIT scores below 8 in men and 5 in women at recruitment and were used in modelling risk. 38 risk factors were measured to construct a risk model for the development of hazardous drinking using stepwise logistic regression. The model was corrected for over fitting and tested in an external population. The main outcome was hazardous drinking defined by an AUDIT score >= 8 in men and >= 5 in women. Results: 69.0% of attendees were recruited, of whom 89.5% participated again after six months. The risk factors in the final predictAL model were sex, age, country, baseline AUDIT score, panic syndrome and lifetime alcohol problem. The predictAL model's average c-index across all six European countries was 0.839 (95% CI 0.805, 0.873). The Hedge's g effect size for the difference in log odds of predicted probability between safe drinkers in Europe who subsequently developed hazardous alcohol use and those who did not was 1.38 (95% CI 1.25, 1.51). External validation of the algorithm in Chilean safe drinkers resulted in a c-index of 0.781 (95% CI 0.717, 0.846) and Hedge's g of 0.68 (95% CI 0.57, 0.78). Conclusions: The predictAL risk model for development of hazardous consumption in safe drinkers compares favourably with risk algorithms for disorders in other medical settings and can be a useful first step in prevention of alcohol misuse.

Pretende-se, com este Trabalho de Projecto, incitar a essa discussão o que acontece no que concerne à tradução de poesia, neste caso através da realização de uma tradução para a língua Inglesa da obra Sagrada Melancolia, de Sérgio Pereira. Mediante a discussão patente sobre a traduzibilidade da poesia, será esta impossível? Intraduzível? E, se possível, através de que metodologias, teorias e respectivas opções tradutivas? Para o presente Trabalho de Projecto foram consideradas e aplicadas as teorias de tradutores, linguistas e poetas, como John Dryden, Alexander Tytler, Eugène Nida, Roman Jakobson, Jean Paul Vinay e Jean Paul Darbelnet, Juliane House e Peter Newmark. Sendo a Poesia uma forma de Arte, a sua tradução será também Arte? Considera-se sugerir à editora a publicação da obra traduzida. Faz, também, parte deste Trabalho de Projecto a intenção de Localizar o blog Sagrada Melancolia para as línguas Inglesa, Francesa e Espanhola, em colaboração com o autor, Sérgio Pereira.

A Obra de Arte como Verdade Poética

Tomando como referência o texto A Origem da Obra de Arte de Heidegger, o objectivo desta dissertação é a análise da questão da obra de arte como verdade poética. Considerando a experiência do conhecimento como a origem da criação, por via do que o mundo revela, e considerando tanto a produção artística como outras formas de produção pela mão do homem enquanto atitudes de apresentação da verdade encontrada, ela reflecte acerca daquilo que a obra de arte tem e que a distingue das demais criações do homem

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.

The effect of secular trends in the classroom furniture mismatch: support for continuous update of school furniture standards

In order to create safer schools, the Chilean authorities published a Standard regarding school furniture dimensions. The aims of this study are twofold: to verify the existence of positive secular trend within the Chilean student population and to evaluate the potential mismatch between the anthropometric characteristics and the school furniture dimensions defined by the mentioned standard. The sample consists of 3078 subjects. Eight anthropometric measures were gathered, together with six furniture dimensions from the mentioned standard. There is an average increase for some dimensions within the Chilean student population over the past two decades. Accordingly, almost 18% of the students will find the seat height to be too high. Seat depth will be considered as being too shallow for 42.8% of the students. It can be concluded that the Chilean student population has increased in stature, which supports the need to revise and update the data from the mentioned Standard. Practitioner Summary: Positive secular trend resulted in high levels of mismatch if furniture is selected according to the current Chilean Standard which uses data collected more than 20 years ago. This study shows that school furniture standards need to be updated over time.

¿Hacia la Interculturalidad? Una investigación en estudiantes de comunidades originarias, sus trayectorias académicas e identidades

El presente proyecto se desarrolló en tres universidades argentinas, una chilena y una portuguesa. En las universidades latinoamericanas asisten sujetos de distintas etnias (huarpes, aymarás, wichi, mapuches). Fueron objetivos de la investigación: a) identificar las motivaciones del ingreso a la Universidad y la evolución de sus expectativas (de futuro, de trabajo); b) conocer las representaciones que tienen del valor de la educación como vía de progreso; c) conocer las estrategias institucionales (curriculares, de convivencia, de servicios) para integrarlos y retenerlos. Los hallazgos muestran la baja efectividad de los programas implementados, con altos índices de fracaso y abandono.

O autorretrato em literatura: ilustração e ruína

A aplicação ao caso literário do termo e do conceito de retrato, aqui incluindo a espécie mais tardia do autorretrato, não é hoje fluente, apesar da reconhecida permeabilidade do género a inúmeras linguagens artísticas e apesar de uma longa tradição de descrições de figura – particularmente no que toca a representação poético-retórica da beleza feminina – que recua à poesia clássica. Partindo de uma possível distinção entre autorretrato literário e variantes várias de escritas intimistas e autobiográficas com as quais delineia fronteiras nem sempre rigorosamente nítidas, é nosso propósito ilustrar, recorrendo a casos selecionados, modos de concretização verbal de autorretrato que se distanciam progressivamente de um paradigma representativo fundado na perceção e na semelhança, aproximando-se ao contrário de registos de rasura, apagamento, ruína, cegueira que questionam uma noção de identidade estabilizável em imagem (visual ou mental), encaminhando o gesto autorrepresentativo para uma meditação sobre a diferença e sobre o irreconhecimento; no limite, para uma condição fora do visível e porventura, arriscando os seus mais básicos pressupostos, para lá da representação.

Vinhaça e adubos minerais(I)

In this paper it is studied the action of vinasse as compared to mineral fertilizers. Beans, corn, cotton and sesame were cultivated in randomized blocks receiving the following treatments: A = mineral fertilizers (N, P, K); V = vinasse at the rate of 1,000,000 liters per Ha; AV = mineral fertilizers + vinasse; T = control. Statistical analysis of the experiments has consistently revealed the superiority of vinasse either combined or not with the mineral fertilizers over the remaining treatments. There was no significant difference between V and AV which shows the surprizing role of vinasse when applied to light soils such as those employed in the present experiments. By employing 1,000,000 liters of vinasse to the hectare the following amounts of nutrientes were applied to the crops in this experiment: 470 Kg of nitrogen 50 Kg of P2O5 and 3,100 Kg of K2O corresponds to 3,133 Kg of Chilean nitrate/ha 250 Kg of superphosphate and 5,160 Kg of muriate of potash Hence one cannot say that the action of vinasse is of a purely physical nature. In our opinion its outstanding action is due to: 1st raise in the pH value of the soil; 2nd addition of a tremendous amount of plant nutrients; 3rd supplying organic matter in a very finely divided state with all its benefical effects in soil structure, water holding capacity, adsorption of nutrients to prevent leaching, etc. A rotation experiment is now being carried out to study the residual effect of vinasse.
