A Survey for Diclofop-Methyl Resistance in Italian Ryegrass from Tennessee and How To Manage Resistance in Wheat

Italian ryegrass resistance to diclofop has been documented in several countries, including the United States. The purpose of this research was to screen selected putative resistant populations of Italian ryegrass for resistance to the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides diclofop and pinoxaden and the acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides imazamox, pyroxsulam, and mesosulfuron in the greenhouse and to use field experiments to develop herbicide programs for Italian ryegrass control. Resistance to diclofop was confirmed in eight populations from Tennessee. These eight populations did not show cross-resistance to pinoxaden. One additional population (R1) from Union County, North Carolina, was found to be resistant to both diclofop and pinoxaden. The level of resistance to pinoxaden of the R1 population was 15 times that of the susceptible population. No resistance was confirmed to any of the ALS-inhibiting herbicides examined in this research. Field experiments demonstrated PRE Italian ryegrass control with chlorsulfuron (71 to 94%) and flufenacet + metribuzin (84 to 96%). Italian ryegrass control with pendimethalin applied PRE or delayed preemergence (DPRE) was variable (0 to 85%). POST control of Italian ryegrass was acceptable with pinoxaden, mesosulfuron, flufenacet + metribuzin, and chlorsulfuron + flucarbazone (> 80%). Application timing and herbicide treatment had no effect on wheat yield, except for diclofop and pendimethalin treatments, in which uncontrolled Italian ryegrass reduced wheat yield.

Traduzir Teatro no Estado Novo: Gata em Telhado de Zinco Quente (1959), tradução de Sérgio Guimarães, do original Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), de Tennessee Williams

À luz da viragem cultural dos Estudos de Tradução ocorrida nos anos 80 e tendo em conta a interdisciplinaridade abordada nos campos literário, cultural e histórico pela Manipulation School (Lefevere, Bassnett, Lambert, Hermans e Toury), na esteira de Itamar Even-Zohar com a Teoria dos Polissistemas (1979), a presente dissertação pretende analisar a tradução portuguesa da peça Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1955), da autoria de Tennessee Williams, intitulada Gata em Telhado de Zinco Quente (1959), de Sérgio Guimarães. Este pode ser um caso representativo de como a tradução para teatro actua na cultura receptora numa perspectiva diatópica, antevendo a dimensão intercultural da tradução para o palco. É ao tradutor que cabe a tarefa de transferir a peça de um sistema linguístico e cultural para outro, conhecendo, se possível, o grau de representabilidade da mesma e o contexto cultural de chegada. Deste modo, é evidenciada a competência artístico-criativa do tradutor teatral que trabalha com o intuito de manter, fidus interpres, as intenções do autor da obra original. No período em que Cat on a Hot Tin Roof foi escrita, ensombrado pelo controlo sociopolítico do Macartismo nos E.U.A. e o contexto em que a tradução foi concretizada, sob a vigência da Ditadura de Salazar, a (auto)censura desempenha um papel fundamental ao moldar a produção literária nos dois sistemas culturais. Numa época em que, mais do que nos dias de hoje, traduzir consistia numa actividade subserviente e secundária, Vasco Morgado, detentor do monopólio de teatros em Lisboa encomendou a Sérgio Guimarães a tradução de uma peça de Tennessee Williams. Com base na teoria desenvolvida por Lawrence Venuti em The Translator’s Invisibility (1995), não é despiciente problematizar, neste estudo de caso, a invisibilidade do tradutor/mediador entre o texto e a representação, abordando simultaneamente as estratégias então necessárias para a peça ser aprovada e posta em cena.

Tennessee Williams's Cat on a hot tin roof or the dramatic aptitudes of the goddess Diana

The aim of this article is to show which are the dramatic "yields" of the inclusion of the reference to the goddess Diana in Tennessee Williams's Cat on a Hot tin Roof. In the author's opinion, it does not deal simply with a meaningful reference; on the contrary, the accurate analysis of Williams's text proves that it is a true nuclear and cohesive element of the whole drama.

Indagación edípica e ironía trágica: el modelo sofocleo en Cat on a Hot Tin Roof de Tennessee Williams

Dado que el referente clásico "Edipo en busca de su identidad" ha sido siempre reconocido para Suddenly Last Summer , el autor de este artículo, mediante un análisis minucioso del texto del dramaturgo americano, propone leer en este caso Cat on a Hot Tin Roof desde el modelo Edipo Rey de Sófocles y descubrir en él igualmente la tradicional ironía clásica tanto desde el punto de vista del espectador como de los mismos personajes principales, Brick y su padre, ambos en busca de su verdad, una verdad, claro está, contraria a la esperada.

Atès que el referent clàssic "Èdip en cerca de la seva identitat" ha estat sempre reconegut per a Suddenly Last Summer, l'autor d'aquest article, mitjançant una anàlisi acurada del text del dramaturg americà, proposa de llegir en aquest cas Can on a Hot tin Roof des del model Èdip Rei de Sòfocles i descobrir-hi igualment la tradicional ironia clàssica tant des del punt de vista de l'espectador com dels mateixos personatges principals, Brick i el seu pare, ambdós en cerca de la seva veritat, una veritat, és clar, contrària a la que esperaven.
