Identidades “reescritas”: autotraducción y retraducción en la poesía mapuche contemporánea
No full textMapuche authors have been self-translating their literary work extensively for the last three decades. Among the different motivations for this practice, the repossession of the Indigenous language as an element of identity-affirmation features prominently. This essay analyzes self-translation as a space where the identity of each author is rewritten or edited, as well as the links this practice shares with retranslation, both the author's own and allograph retranslation. The analysis will first focus on Mapuche writer Elicura Chihuailaf's reediting of a series of bilingual poems throughout his career. Additionally, the criteria of untranslatability between languages and cultures espoused by poet Liliana Ancalao will be contrasted with the allograph retranslations of her work into Mapudungun carried out by Víctor Cifuentes. The differences examined across self-translations and retranslations tend to respond to changes in the author's ideological positioning as well as to the emendation of semantic calques and instances of linguistic incommensurability.Fil: Stocco, Melisa Soledad.

Modelling e inversione compatta di dati magnetici
No full textViene presentata una tecnica per l'inversione bidimensionale dei dati di un rilevo geomagnetico. L'inversione minimizza la compattezza del corpo anomalo. Il software scritto appositamente è testato su casi sintetici e su un caso reale di rilievo magnetico per archeologia
Modelling and compact inversion of magnetic data: a Matlab code
No full textThe modelling and inversion of the total magnetic field (TMF), its vertical gradient (VGTMF) and the vertical component of TMF (VMF) accordingt o the basic principle to minimize thecross-sectional area of the source bodies are described. The software code, with an interactive graphical interface, operates in Matlab environment (version7.0). The code of the inversion procedure is based on a weight-ed-damped least-squares algorithm, according to a criterion of balancing the weight of the data inaccuracies and the compactness of the solution. We have applied the approach to both synthetic and field data. This software can be used for didactical purposes or for a fast estimate of magnetic source bodies in archaeological and environmental prospectin
Incapacità di agire e illusione di immortalità: una riflessione psico-sociale sul disimpegno civile
No full textNonnormative Self-Translation and Code-Switching in Argentina’s New Feminist and Queer Poetry
No full textThis article examines the poetry of feminist writer Dolo Trenzadora (b. 1985, BuenosAires) and queer author Franco Rivero (b. 1981, Corrientes), two new voices in Argentinepoetry who write in both Spanish and Guarani and reflect multilingual experiencesemerging against the backdrop of a monolingual imaginary of nationhood. The analy-sis seeks to identify, within these writers’ most recent works, particular forms of “frag-mentary intratextual self-translation” and to observe how, along with code-switching,these expressions of self-translation: (1) develop a nonnormative heterolingual dis-course that defies monolingualism and troubles notions of national, gender, and sexu-al identity; and (2) resist monolingual models of Translation Studies.Fil: Stocco, Melisa Soledad.

The Influence of Fishers’ Behavior on Recreational Fishing Dynamics and Catch: Insights from a Mediterranean Coastal Lagoon
No full textRecreational fishing is practiced by thousands of people in European coastal waters and is steadily gaining popularity. Serving multiple purposes, recreational fishing provides fresh fish for meals, offers leisure, and contributes to traditional ecological knowledge, especially at the local level. Therefore, analyzing its dynamics and catch is a complex task, since they not only depend on the environmental features but also on the behavior of fishers. In coastal areas, however, most recreational fishers remain unmonitored, making it difficult to obtain data on their impact on fish stocks. This is particularly evident in the Venice lagoon, where we conducted a comprehensive study aiming to characterize recreational fishing dynamics. We collected data through interviews, online questionnaires, and remote sensing techniques, including satellite imagery photointerpretation and machine learning algorithms. Our findings reveal spatial and temporal variations in fishing activity, with certain areas and times experiencing higher fishing pressure. This highlights a seasonality in fishing activity and a pattern in fishers’ behaviors that are associated with fish migratory dynamics. Such an association demonstrates the local fishers’ understanding of the fish lifecycle phases and the environmental conditions of the lagoon. Regarding the catch, the most targeted species are seabream (Sparus aurata), seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax), and cuttlefish (Sepia officinalis), with estimated total catches of 18.65 t per year, 15.82 t per year, and 8.36 t per year, respectively. However, our results showed a significant disproportion between the biomass caught by two different groups of fishers that differ in terms of fishing trip frequency, success rate, and catch. While the average catch of the first group, representing most recreational fishers, might be considered of low impact, the catch of the second group, encompassing recreational fishers who fish with very high frequency and efficiency, is substantial in the context of the lagoon ecosystem. Indeed, even considering a conservative estimate, recreational fishing in the Venice lagoon accounted for approximately 2% of the catch of cuttlefish and 17% of the catch of seabream compared to commercial fishing catch, whereas the catch of seabass by recreational fishing approached that of commercial fishing. Therefore, the implementation of a periodic monitoring program utilizing methods such as machine learning algorithms and remote sensing technologies could support the management of recreational fishing dynamics. We also suggest that participatory processes involving both professional and recreational fishers may aid in defining shared approaches and bottom–up initiatives, ensuring enjoyment as well as sustainable uses of coastal areas
Inside and outside the boundaries: contribution of the valli da pesca to the Venice lagoon Ecosystem Services
No full textThe Venice lagoon is a social-ecological system, result of centuries of co-evolution between natural and anthropogenic drivers. All this produced a complex interacting set of different habitats and parts, including
some confined, man-managed areas known as valli da pesca. These areas, similar to ‘miniature lagoons’, have progressively been separated in a permanent way from the lagoon itself, depending almost completely on human intervention for functioning and maintenance. Due to both the “artificial” origin and
difficulties of accessing, these portions of the lagoon have previously been excluded from analyses, surveys, monitoring programs. The present work constitutes the first attempt of a spatially explicit Ecosystem Services (ESs) assessment of the entire lagoon, included the valli da pesca, both in terms of capacity and flow. Obtained results showed that these areas, despite they represent just the 18% of the total lagoon area, play an important ecological role, contributing for 35% of the ESs capacity and 27% of the flow in comparison with the whole lagoon. Furthermore, the valli da pesca showed that different management strategies, aimed to maximize just a single ES, like aquaculture or hunting (or both), could have significant contrasting effects on the landscape features
