Expressões Idiomáticas, Metáforas e Ensino de Línguas.

In this study we analyze some somatic idioms of Italian and Portuguese languages, in order to investigate the proportion in which their metaphors are the same, similar or different in both languages. This research was based on Lakoff and Johnson’s (2002 [1980]) studies about conceptual metaphor, as well as on studies about phraseologisms and idiomatic expressions developed by some authors as Zuluaga (1980), Tagnin (1989), Tonfoni and Turbinati (1995), Corpas Pastor (1996) and Xatara (1998). Through the analysis, we conclude that much of the studied expressions are structurally, semantically, and metaphorically identical or similar in both languages. These results have allowed us to make some considerations on Italian and Portuguese somatic idioms.

Desafios ao Ensino da Tradução

This paper aims to examine some challenges to translation training,particularly in the context of the discipline of translation theory, starting withthe belief in its impossibility. Other topics focused are the Italian adage traduttori,traditori, the opposition between theory and practice, the notion that thetranslator should not interfere in his/her work and the sacralization of the original text.

E. T. A. Hoffmann e Jacques Callot: a ficção da imagem

Hoffmann wrote several fairy tales, including "Princess Brambilla" (1821), which has an remarkable pictorial component: when it was published, the text went along with eight illustrations by Carl Friedrich Thiele, which were derived from original prints made by the Frenchman Jacques Callot. While Callot images portray the Italian theater of the Commedia dell'Arte, Thiele's works follow the plot of the narrative, representing the characters of Hoffmann, who disguise themselves because of the carnival that is taking place in Rome. The costumes and masks worn by the characters however do not ensure them full secrecy. Instead of a complete undercover, they lead to double meanings and double identities so that narrative levels and artistic references overlap and create an effect similar to a set of a polyphonic orchestra (which is a metaphor implied in the very subtitle, where the narrative is called a Capriccio).

O rapto de Europa: uma comparação entre Ovídio e Ticiano

In Metamorphoses, the Roman poet Ovid tells the tale of the transformation of Jupiter into a bull to seduce the Phoenician princess Europa. During Renaissance, as is well known, Western civilization fostered an intense renewal of its values under the clear influence of Greco-Roman culture. Ovid, whose fame had not ceased throughout the Middle Ages, became then even better known, and especially his poem Metamorphoses turned into a remarkable source of inspiration not only to literature but also to fine arts and their new humanistic conception. Thus, the episode of the abduction of Europa received a dramatic pictorial expression in the broad brush strokes of the Venetian master Titian Vecellio, who interpreted several classical myths in his canvases at the height of his creative maturity. There are many and obvious relationships in the verses of the ancient Latin poet and the picture of the Italian Renaissancist. In Metamorphoses, the mythical account is described in so many details and set in such an expressive poetic that Titian could take Ovid´s narrative as a model for painting “The Rape of Europa”, doing a true exercise in intersemiotic translation by interpreting verbal signs through pictorial signs.

Immunohistochemical evaluation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in splenic hemangiomas and hemangiosarcomas in dogs

Formation of new blood vessels is paramount for tumour growth and metastatic dissemination and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is one of the key regulators of this process. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of VEGF in 23 splenic hemangiosarcomas and 7 splenic hemangiomas in dogs. Blood tests performed previous to splenectomy were analysed for correlation with tumour VEGF expression. Results showed significantly higher VEGF expression in hemangiosarcomas than hemangiomas and lower hematocrit values and red cell count in dogs affected with malignant neoplasia (P < 0.05). These findings suggest the presence of high VEGF levels may be related to the malignant vascular proliferation seen in hemangiosarcomas.

Esplenomegalia em cães: estudo retrospectivo

The aim of this study was to review the prevalence of canine splenic disorders by means of a retrospectiveanalysis of histological diagnosis after splenectomy. The results were confronted with laboratory findings, clinical signs and presence of cardiac arrhythmia and hemoperitoneum, in an attempt to establish the differentialdiagnosis of splenomegaly. One hundred and nine dogs assisted at the Veterinary Hospital of theSchool of Veterinary Medicine and Zootechny, University of São Paulo, were included in the retrospectivestudy, between 2002 and 2009. The average age was 10 years old ± 3, with no sexual predilection. Mixedbreed dogs was the most affected kind, and average weight was 22 kg ± 13. Overall, 52% (57/109) of dogswere splenectomized due to non-neoplastic diseases and 48% (52/109) to neoplastic diseases. Among thelatter, the most common diagnosis was hemangiosarcoma (28 dogs; 54%). Most frequent clinical signs includedanorexia, lethargy and vomiting. Results showed that dogs with low red blood cell count, low hematocritvalues and/or hemoperitoneum were more likely to have splenic malignant neoplasm. On the otherhand, sex, breed, size, age, cardiac arrhythmia and other laboratory parameters were not determining factorsin the differentiation of splenomegaly.

Um passeio pelos bosques ficcionais de Antonio Tabucchi

The Italian writer Antonio Tabucchi (Pisa-1943, Lisbon-2012) is considered by the critic as one of the most representative voices in the contemporary European literature. The Literature, according to Tabucchi, exerts a fundamental role in society and it, still according to the writer, must cause disquietude, evoke doubts, raise questions and not tranquilize people’s mind. Thereby, it’s noticed that it’s one of the reasons why the tabucchian narrative incessantly dialogues with Luigi Pirandello’s and Fernando Pessoa's poetics, establishing a great fictional game in wich the people, the truths, the history and the world are shown, at the least, duplicated.

O som, o sentido e o gênero Giallo: análise do filme Prelúdio Para Matar (1975), de Dario Argento

Considerado exemplo modelar do gênero giallo, estilo exclusivamente italiano e que envolve a solução de um mistério relacionado a uma série de assassinatos, o filme Prelúdio Para Matar (1975), do cineasta Dario Argento (1940-), é o objeto central deste projeto de pesquisa. Para esta pesquisa se dá especial atenção à investigação da trilha sonora, que, parcialmente, junto à composição visual, formalizam as dimensões de estrutura e sentido desse filme. Serão esclarecidas informações introdutórias sobre o som e composição para o cinema de horror e o ambiente de produção de filmes na Itália; os fatores concomitantes e anteriores a produção do objeto de estudo. No tocante à trilha, serão analisados dois elementos centrais da narrativa: (1) a música, com seus códigos específicos de composição sonora; (2) os efeitos sonoros que projetam ao espectador o reconhecimento ou não de determinados sons. Partindo da premissa que o som ainda é um elemento fílmico pouco explorado nas narrativas audiovisuais, esta pesquisa estabelece uma hipótese, a qual pode ser enunciada nos seguintes termos: a trilha musical e os efeitos de som, presentes no filme Prelúdio para matar, são elementos centrais para a articulação do gênero discursivo giallo nesse caso, co-participando, de modo visível ao espectador, com o controle, a estruturação e as estratégias de narração ali presentes

Pinóquio, o leitor

Este estudo tem como objetivo principal analisar os vários leitores presentes no clássico Pinóquio do escritor italiano Collodi. Do leitor que apenas consegue aprender o código da escrita e a sintaxe que comanda esse código, ou no dizer de Manguel (2009,p.41) - o processo mecânico de aprender o código da escrita na qual está codificada a memória de uma sociedade - ao leitor que consegue entender sua identidade e a sociedade que o cerca, ou também no dizer de Manguel (2009,p.41) - o aprendizado de como as inscrições nesse código servem para conhecer de maneira profunda, imaginativa e prática nossa identidade e a do mundo que nos cerca, onde encaixar o tipo de leitor que Collodi cria para seu personagem?. É válido, ainda, indagar quais são os outros leitores na obra Pinóquio e o que representariam? Tecer a leitura e a releitura de uma obra permite essas reflexões sobre a educação e o processo humanizador da literatura (Cândido,1989,p.112), proporcionando assim uma viagem de introspecção (auto-conhecimento),e a exploração e leitura do mundo, fatores estes fundamentais na formação da subjetividade e da autonomia de pensamento do sujeito
