La revisione della traduzione editoriale dall'inglese all'italiano tra ricerca accademica, professione e formazione: stato dell'arte e prospettive future

Quando si parla di traduzione, si pensa spesso solo al risultato di un processo, valutato e analizzato come tale. Sembra ci si dimentichi del fatto che, prima di arrivare a quel risultato finale, il traduttore applica più o meno consapevolmente tutta quella serie di strumenti di analisi, critica, correzione, rilettura, riformulazione e modifica che rientrano nell’attività di revisione. A questa prima fase, di cui ogni traduttore fa esperienza nel lavorare alla propria traduzione, segue di norma una fase successiva in cui la traduzione è rivista da un’altra figura professionale della filiera editoriale (di solito, e auspicabilmente, un altro traduttore) e infine altre fasi ancora del processo di lavorazione e pubblicazione del testo tradotto. Oltre a essere un’attività cruciale di ogni attività di traduzione e processo editoriale, la revisione riveste anche un fondamentale ruolo didattico nella formazione dei traduttori. L’idea alla base di questo progetto di ricerca nasce dal bisogno di triangolare riflessioni e dati concreti sulla revisione provenienti dalla ricerca accademica, dalla pratica professionale e dall’esperienza didattico-formativa, in un triplice approccio che informa l’intero progetto, di cui si illustrano i principali obiettivi: • formulare una nuova e chiara definizione sommativa del termine “revisione” da potersi utilizzare nell’ambito della ricerca, della didattica e della prassi professionale; • fornire una panoramica tematica, critica e aggiornata sulla ricerca accademica e non-accademica in materia di revisione; • condurre un’indagine conoscitiva (tramite compilazione di questionari diversificati) sulla pratica professionale della revisione editoriale in Italia, allo scopo di raccogliere dati da traduttori e revisori, fornirne una lettura critica e quindi individuare peculiarità e criticità di questa fase del processo di lavorazione del libro tradotto; • presentare ipotesi di lavoro e suggerimenti su metodi e strumenti da applicare all’insegnamento della revisione in contesti didattici e formativi.

"La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene" di Pellegrino Artusi. Proposta di glossario culinario italiano-russo

L'obiettivo della tesi è la compilazione del glossario culinario italiano-russo che “racchiudere” termini culinari artusiani e propone una versione russa basandosi anche sulla traduzione parziale del libro in lingua russa. La tesi si divide in sette parti: introduzione, capitoli primo, secondo, terzo e quarto, conclusione e bibliografia. Il primo capitolo introduce la figura di Pellegrino Artusi con brevi cenni sulla sua vita e tratteggia, altresì, le peripezie ed il successo internazionale della sua opera ed il suo approdo in Russia. Il secondo capitolo è dedicato alla ricerca terminologica e alle fasi propedeutiche alla creazione del glossario. Inoltre, vengono spiegate le risorse usate per la creazione dei corpora. Avendo a disposizione la traduzione parziale de “La scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene” in russo (traduzione di I. Alekberova) fornita dalla Casa Artusi, si cerca di spiegare la scelta dei termini italiani messi a confronto con quelli esistenti nella traduzione russa. Il terzo capitolo introduce il glossario stesso preceduto da una breve spiegazione. Ogni “entrata” contiene il termine, la sua categoria grammaticale e la sua definizione in entrambe le lingue, seguita nella maggior parte dei casi dalle collocazioni o dagli esempi d'uso oppure dai sinonimi. Il quarto capitolo presenta commenti alla compilazione del glossario. Qui vengono analizzati i problemi riscontrati durante la fase compilativa, si presentano le soluzioni trovate e si forniscono esempi concreti. Ci sono anche commenti alle voci non presenti nel glossario. Infine, vi è una breve conclusione del percorso affrontato seguita dalla bibliografia e dalla sitografia. ENGLISH The purpose of this dissertation is to present a bilingual Italian-Russian glossary based on the culinary terms drawn from Artusi's cooking book "The Science of Cooking and the Art of Fine dining". The dissertation consists of an introduction, 4 chapters, conclusions and a list of bibliography. An introduction presents an overview of the entire dissertation. The first chapter includes a presentation of Pellegrino Artusi, brief introduction to his life, his book and the success it has had around the world and mainly in Russia. The second chapter focuses on the creation and use of comparable and parallel corpora that have been created ad hoc for the purpose of the glossary. It also describes the different programs that have been used in order to select the terminology. The third chapter presents the structure of the bilingual culinary glossary followed by the glossary itself. Each entry contains the term, its gramatical category and the definition in both languages followed by, in most but not all cases, collocation, synonyms and additional notes. The fourth chapter presents an analysis of the compilation of the glossary combined with comments and examples. This chapter is followed by final conclusions of the present dissertation. The last part contains a bibliography that includes all the resources that have been used for the completion of this dissertation followed by the webliography.

Performance-arte : fracasso, tempo e repetição

Vivemos um tempo de incerteza e instabilidade. Vivemos um tempo em que o presente se reproduz e se reinventa continuamente sem a perspectiva de um futuro certo e perdurável. A presente dissertação orienta-se em torno de um corpo de trabalho de experimentação artística que explora a relação entre arte contemporânea e fracasso. Trata-se, aqui, de reflectir sobre a natureza paradoxal do fracasso, sobre a utilidade e inutilidade do fracasso na sociedade e na artecontemporânea ocidental. Entre a intenção e a realização, entre a perspectiva de sucesso e o fracasso alcançado, abre-se um espaço gerador (potência)ocupado pela dúvida e questionamento, suporte essencial do pensamento e da acção humana. Corpo fracasso (descendente de Sísifo) dedicado a tarefas inúteis (nãoprodutivas) e repetitivas no tempo como alternativa ao corpo sucesso (base-docapitalismo), dedicado a tarefas úteis (produtivas) e repetitivas no tempo.

The art of careful listening : children as co-artists in the making of live performance

Since 2007 Kite Arts Education Program (KITE), based at Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), has been engaged in delivering a series of theatre-based experiences for children in low socio-economic primary schools in Queensland. The twelve-week workshop experience culminates in a performance developed by the children with the assistance of the teacher artists from KITE for their community and parents/carers in a peak community cultural institution. Using Wartella’s notion of the socially competent child this analysis interrogates the performance product Precious, child participation modes, the intersection between the professional artists, teacher artists and child artists and outcomes in terms of building capacities for the development of social competencies in children.

Catherine or Kate, the royal name dilemma : humour and performance in collaborative art practice

The traditional model of visual arts practice is one that privileges highly individuated reflection and research on studio based, predominately material outcomes. This archetypal approach to thinking about cultural production tends to overlook all of the conceptual and contextual collaborations that take place, both informally and formally in the process of making artworks. The aim of this practice-led research project is to creatively and critically explore the potential for actively engaging in a collaborative process for making artworks. It will focus on this approach to research and making through performance and video based works made in conjunction with Kate Woodcroft. Through doing this it aims to explore the possibilities for thinking and working beyond singular, materially based practices and develop new understandings for this as a model for generating new and unexpected creative outcomes. Key departure points for this discussion include; tertiary performance, conceptual art, and humour.

"Rebirth: Combined art performance"--Shirin Madg & Sweet Sound Ensemble

Vanessa Mafe-Keane was invited to participate as choreographer in Iranian singer Shirin Madg 's project, Rebirth: Combined art performance. This project integrated singing, music, visual-art, film, dance and is based on the dissident poetry of female Iranian poet, Forough Farrokhzad. The choreographic dance movement focused on simple, lyrical, flowing classical dance forms that also incorporated everyday gestures and actions performed by two Queensland dancers, Caitlin MacKenzie and Abby Johnson. The choreographic intention was not to attempt to re-create Iranian dance practices instead, to draw inspiration and reference specific movement qualities. This was achieved through the subtle inclusion of spinning movements and focusing attention on the dancers’ arms and upper torso. This fusion became an underlying theme reflected throughout the choreographic component. Additionally, this project presented an opportunity to draw on past experiences and problem-solve ways to construct choreographic work where the dancers and the musical assemble group could be staged side by side. This experience highlighted differing approaches to rehearsal protocols within disciplines, the practicalities of staging different artists, understanding musical cues and the diversity of audience engagement.

Reengaging, reenacting and reenvisaging discourses of disaster through public space performance: Austerity, art, and the art of protest

This paper offers a mediation on disaster, recovery, resilience, and restoration of balance, in both a material and a metaphorical sense, when ‘disaster’ befalls not the body politic of the nation but the body personal. In the past few decades, of course, artists, activists and scholars have deliberately tried to avoid describing personal, physical and phenomenological experiences of the disabled body in terms of difficulty and disaster. This has been part of a political move, from a medical model, in which disability, disease and illness are positioned as personal catastrophes, to a social model, in which disability is positioned as a social construct that comes from systems, institutions and infrastructure designed to exclude different bodies. It is a move that is responsible for a certain discomfort people with disabilities, and artists with disabilities, today feel towards performances that deploy disability as a metaphor for disaster, from Hijikata, to Theatre Hora. In the past five years, though, this particular discourse has begun rising again, particularly as people with disabilities fact their own anything but natural disasters as a result of the austerity measures now widespread across the US, UK, Europe and elsewhere. Measures that threaten people’s ability to live, and take part in social and institutional life, in any meaningful way. Measures that, as artist Katherine Araniello notes, also bring additional difficulty, danger, and potential for disaster as they ripple outwards across the tides of familial ties, threatening family, friends, and careers who become bound up in the struggle to do more with less. In this paper, I consider how people with disabilities use performance, particularly public space interventionalist performance, to reengage, renact and reenvisage the discourse of national, economic, environmental or other forms of disaster, the need for austerity, the need to avoid providing people with support for desires and interests as well as basic daily needs, particularly when fraud and corruption is so right, and other such ideas that have become an all too unpleasant reality for many people. Performances, for instance, like Liz Crow’s Bedding Out, where she invited people into her bed – for people with disabilities a symbolic space, which necessarily becomes more a public living room restaurant, office and so forth than a private space when poor mobility means they spend much time it in – to talk about their lives, their difficulties, and dealing with austerity. Or, for instance, like the Bolshy Divas, who mimic public and political policy, reports and advertising paranoia to undermine their discourses about austerity. I examine the effects, politics and ethics of such interventions, including examination of the comparative effect of highly bodied interventions (like Crow’s) and highly disembodied interventions (like the Bolshy Diva’s) in discourses of difficulty, disaster and austerity on a range of target spectator communities.

Da rua para a rua: percursos para uma performance

Partindo do corpo que caminha pela cidade, com ou sem rumo, a presente dissertação procura investigar as relações que cercam essa simples ação, levando em consideração, inclusive, a roupa que esse homem veste. O corpo é discutido, tentando encontrar modos mais viscerais para um contato com a realidade operante e arquitetar novas narrativas. A caminhada é o mais simples ato para a (des)apropriação de territórios a serem experimentados. A roupa é a fronteira entre o corpo e a cidade. A camuflagem aparece como um meio eficiente de contactar o corpo com o meio e sua lógica atravessa nosso contato com o mundo. As cidades, suas ruas e espaços públicos solicitam o uso coletivo e se entregam satisfeitos às intervenções urbanas. O texto segue visitando trabalhos que cruzam esse conjunto, buscando desvios nos espaços e resignificando objetos abundantes que se apresentam sem finalidade, procurando inverter lógicas vigentes para realizar outros usos do corpo, da roupa e da cidade

30 anos do Ilé Omiojuaró: arte, educação e ativismo nas redes de Mãe Beata de Iyémonjá

Os terreiros de candomblé têm papel fundamental na manutenção e difusão de tradições ancestrais: idiomas, arte, a preparação dos alimentos, as vestimentas, cânticos, danças, batuques e toda sorte de símbolos materiais e imateriais, mantidos, repassados e transpassados pela tradição e memória de várias gerações. Para a observação e análise de parte deste complexo cultural, a presente dissertação analisará algumas ações culturais e educativas desenvolvidas no Ilé Omiojuaró, terreiro de Candomblé da Baixada Fluminense, região metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, liderado por Mãe Beata de Iyémonjá, yalorixá, ativista e referência na luta pela liberdade religiosa e pelos direitos humanos na América Latina. Por ser uma temática extensa, pois se trata de um complexo cultural com um imenso e diverso volume de informações, saberes e fazeres, onde o terreiro terá sua própria dinâmica e especificidade, escolhi observar os processos educativos através de duas ações culturais desenvolvidas nos cotidianos do terreiro pesquisado: o projeto cultural OriRe e a participação do terreiro no projeto A Cor da Cultura, por intermédio de sua associação cultural sem fins lucrativos, o INDEC (Instituto de Desenvolvimento Cultural do Ilé Omiojuaró). Para tanto, utilizaremos entrevistas, relatórios de trabalhos, conversas, imagens fotográficas e imagens da web. A conclusão da pesquisa ocorre justamente no ano em que o terreiro pesquisado comemora seus 30 anos de existência

Improvement of GaN-based light emitting diodes performance grown on sapphire substrates patterned by wet etching - art. no. 684107

An effective approach to enhance the light output power of InGaN/GaN light emitting diodes (LED) was proposed using pyramidal patterned sapphire substrates (PSS). The sapphire substrates were patterned by a selective chemical wet etching technique. GaN-based LEDs were fabricated on patterned sapphire substrates through metal organic chemical deposition (MOCVD). The LEDs fabricated on patterned sapphire substrates exhibit excellent device performance compared to the conventional LEDs fabricated on planar sapphire substrates in the case of the same growth and device fabricating conditions. The light output power of the LEDs fabricated on patterned sapphire substrates was about 37% higher than that of LEDs on planar sapphire substrates at an injection current of 20 mA. The significant enhancement is attributable to the improvement of the quality of GaN-based epilayers and improvement of the light extraction efficiency by patterned sapphire substrates.

High-performance multiplexed vibration sensor system based on fiber lasers - art. no. 683019

This paper describes a high-performance multiplexed vibration sensor system using fiber lasers. A serial vibration sensor array consists of four short cavity fiber lasers. The system employs a single, polarization-insensitive, unbalanced Michelson interferometer to translate individual laser wavelength shifts induced by vibration signals into interferometer phase shifts. A dense wavelength division demultiplexor (DWDM) with high channel isolation is inserted to demultiplex each laser signal as a wavelength filter. Finally, a digital phase demodulator based on the phase generated carrier technique is used to achieve high-resolution interrogation. Experimental results show that no observable crosstalk is measured on the output channels, and the minimal detectable acceleration of this system is similar to 200ng/root Hz at 250Hz, which is fundamentally limited by the frequency noise of the lasers.

On the performance analysis and design of a novel shared-layer integrated devices using RCE-p-i-n-PD/SHBT - art. no. 67820J

We have explored the shared-layer integration fabrication of an resonant-cavity-enhanced p-i-n photodector (RCE- p-i-n-PD) and a single heterojunction bipolar transistor (SHBT) with the same epitaxy grown layer structure. MOCVD growth of the different layer structure for the GaAs based RCE- p-i-n-PD/SHBT require compromises to obtain the best performance of the integrated devices. The SHBT is proposed with super-lattice in the collector, and the structure of the base and the collector of the SHBT is used for the RCE. Up to now, the DC characteristics of the integrated device have been obtained.

Design and performance of monolithic integrated electro-absorption modulated distributed feedback laser - art. no. 67820Y

High performance InGaAsP/InGaAsP strained compensated multiple-quantum-well (MQW) electroabsorption modulators (EAM) monolithically integrated with a DFB laser diode have been designed and realized by ultra low metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) based on a novel butt joint scheme. The optimization thickness of upper SCH layer for DFB and EAM was obtained of the proposed MQW structure of the EAM through numerical simulation and experiment. The device containing 250(mu m) DFB and 170(mu m) EAM shows good material quality and exhibits a threshold current of 17mA, an extinction ratio of higher than 30 dB and a very high modulation efficiency (12dB/V) from 0V to 1V. By adopting a high-mesa ridge waveguide and buried polyimide, the capacitance of the modulator is reduced to about 0.30 pF corresponding to a 3dB bandwidth more than 20GHz.
