Il destino di un ri-traduttore di poesia. Cronaca del “mio” Machado
No full textIn this article, we address the issue of poetic translation and re-translation, beginning from a theoretical approach and, then, contextualizing it by the Italian versions of Antonio Machado’s poetry during the 20th century and the last decades. In the first part, we underline the most important elements that make poetic (re-)translation an autonomous, creative and original “literary genre”. In the second part, we compare Machado’s translations by Oreste Macrì to the ones newly realized by the author of the present article in terms of language, strategies and editorial target.W niniejszym artykule rozpatrzona została kwestia poetyckiego przekładu i retranslacji, rozpoczynając od teoretycznego podejścia poprzez jej kontekstualizację na podstawie włoskiego tłumaczenia poezji Antoniego Machado w ciągu XX wieku i ostatnich dziesięcioleci. W pierwszej części przedstawiono najważniejsze elementy czyniące poetycką (re)translację niezależnym, kreatywnym i oryginalnym “gatunkiem literackim”. W drugiej części porównane zostały pod względem języka, strategii i docelowych odbiorców tłumaczenia Machado dokonane przez Oreste Macri z tłumaczeniami
zrealizowanymi na nowo przez autorkę niniejszego artykułu

Fables de La Fontaine
No full textThis beautiful book is surprisingly not in Bodemann. Vermot is not listed there. Hadamar(d) is for two works: a second edition of Lachambeaudie's fables in 1855 and the 1867 LeFevre edition of La Fontaine in collaboration with Desandré, together with at least one succeeding edition in about 1901 when LeFevre had been joined by Guerin. I have multiple copies of the latter editions, fascinating for the variation in the coloring their images received from hand-painters at the printer. This edition is like that in several respects, though its format is larger: about 5½ x 8¾. Its chief glory lies in the eight hand-colored illustrations by Hadamard, whose name seems sometimes to have and sometimes not to have a final D. The format of these full-page colored illustrations is an arched portal, and the coloring is outstanding! All seem to have been signed by Hadamard. The frontispiece shows a seated La Fontaine in a pastoral setting surrounded by animals. Further such illustrations include Les Voleurs et l'Ane (13); TB (126); Les Devineresses (172); Le Loup et le Chien maigre, an outstanding image (239); Les Lapins (284); Le Lion abattu par l'homme (290); and Les Deux Chèvres, another fine image (346). In at least one instance -- TB -- in which the LeFevre-Guerin edition and this copy treat the same subject in their full-page colored renditions, the images are distinctly different in design. The smaller uncolored designs accompanying many fables seem identical with those in the LeFevre and LeFevre-Guerin editions. This edition uses OF with a frog smoking a pipe, for its title-page image and repeats it then on 4. I believe I am very fortunate to have found a copy of this edition.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: FrenchJean de La Fontain
Entanglement spectrum in one-dimensional systems
No full textWe derive the distribution of eigenvalues of the reduced density matrix of a block of length l in a one-dimensional system in the scaling regime. The resulting "entanglement spectrum" is described by a universal scaling function depending only on the central charge of the underlying conformal field theory. This prediction is checked against exact results for the XX chain. We also show how the entanglement gap closes when l is large
The environmental issue at the Accounting Sciences degree course: a focus on Greening Curriculum.
No full textDesde os anos 1970, distintos setores educativos desenvolveram propostas e pesquisas sobre a educação para a sustentabilidade, porém, no âmbito universitário, este é um tema que foi iniciado apenas na década de 1990. Em nível internacional, em 2001, foi criado um grupo de onze universidades de sete países, constituindo uma rede denominada Rede ACES ¿ Ambientalização Curricular do Ensino Superior, apresentando como resultado a elaboração de proposições e pesquisas que trabalhavam a questão da Ambientalização Curricular. A Rede ACES propôs dez características que um currículo deve apresentar para ser ambientalizado e, a partir desse marco referencial, vários projetos foram desenvolvidos nas universidades participantes com o intuito de produção de conhecimento sobre esses processos. Considerando tais premissas, o objetivo principal desta pesquisa é compreender como o curso de graduação de Ciências Contábeis de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior (IES), na Região Metropolitana da Baixada Santista, no Estado de São Paulo, incorpora a temática ambiental no seu currículo. Os dados da pesquisa foram obtidos por meio da análise documental da evolução do currículo do curso de Ciências Contábeis; do projeto pedagógico de curso; do plano de ensino das disciplinas e das respostas dos questionários enviados aos professores e alunos da IES pesquisada. Para a análise dos dados, foi utilizada a técnica do Discurso do Sujeito Coletivo proposta por Lefevre e Lefevre. Os resultados encontrados revelam que o grau de Ambientalização Curricular do curso de Ciências Contábeis estudado ainda está distante das atuais propostas, embora existam, por parte de alguns professores, breves iniciativas nesse sentido. Os temas ambientais encontrados foram definições sobre a contabilização e importância das contas do passivo ambiental, recuperação de solo, questões judiciais sobre poluição ambiental e seus reflexos na Contabilidade. Com relação às dez características para um currículo ambientalizado, foram observadas, em apenas uma disciplina, as seguintes características: compromisso para a transformação das relações sociedade-natureza; complexidade; contextualização local-global-local; ter em conta o sujeito na construção do conhecimento; considerar os aspectos cognitivos e afetivos dos alunos; adequação metodológica; espaços de reflexão e participação democrática. Para a maioria dos alunos, a temática ambiental é importante na formação do Contador para atender o mercado de trabalho. Foram apresentadas, ao longo do trabalho, algumas propostas para a incorporação da dimensão ambiental no projeto pedagógico do curso e reflexões para que o processo de Ambientalização Curricular esteja presente, a saber: tratar o Balanço Social, uma das ferramentas que a Contabilidade possui para identificar o grau de responsabilidade socioambiental das organizações, como uma disciplina específica ou como parte do conteúdo de alguma outra disciplina; inserir o componente curricular denominado Contabilidade Ambiental e a disciplina Responsabilidade Social na matriz curricular do curso; e, desenvolvimento e aplicação de um modelo conceitual para evidenciação dos aspectos econômico-financeiros dos eventos e transações de natureza ambiental, passível de ser utilizado no curso de Ciências Contábeis, tendo como objetivo principal demonstrar as iniciativas e atividades executadas no âmbito da proteção do meio ambiente.Since the 1970s, different education sectors have developed proposals and researches about education for sustainability, but in the field of universities, this is an issue that only started to be discussed in the 1990s. On a global scale, in 2001, a group of eleven universities from seven different countries formed a group called ACES Network ¿ Curriculum Greening in Higher Education, presenting the creation of proposals and researches that treated about the Greening Curriculum issue. The ACES Network proposed ten features that a curriculum must present in order to be green or environmentalized and since that referential milestone several projects have been developed at the participant universities aiming to produce knowledge about the process. Considering those premises, the main objective of this research is understanding how the Accounting Sciences degree course of a Higher Education Institute in the Metropolitan Area of Baixada Santista, São Paulo State, embodies environmental issues on its curriculum. The data of the research were obtained through documental analysis of the curriculum evolution and project; from lesson plans of the subjects of the Accounting Sciences course and from the answers of the surveys sent to professors and students. Data were analyzed through the Discourse of the Collective Subject technique based on Lefevre and Lefevre. The results show that the level of Greening Curriculum of the researched Accounting Sciences course is still far from current proposals, even though there are some short initiatives on this path on the part of professors. The environmental issues found on the researched curriculum were definitions about accounting and the importance of the environmental liability accounts; soil recovery; legal questions about pollution and their reflexes on Accounting. About the ten features of an environmentalized curriculum, they were found in only one subject of the course, such as: commitment to the changes in the relations between society and nature; complexity; local-global-local context; consideration of human being in the construction of knowledge; attention to cognitive and affective values, ethical and aesthetic aspects; methodological adjustment and democratic reflection and participation spaces. To the majority of the students the environmental issues are important for the education of the Accountant to serve the labor market. Along this work, some paths to embodiment of environmental issues on the curriculum projects and reflections about the Greening Curriculum presence, were pointed: treating Social Balance, which is a tool that Accounting has to identify the level of socioenvironmental responsibility of organizations, as specific discipline or part of another discipline; inserting the curricular component named Environmental Accounting and the discipline Social Responsibility in the curricular matrix of the course; developing and applying a conceptual model for disclosure of economic financials aspects of events and transactions with environmental intent, viable for the Accounting Sciences course and aiming to demonstrate initiatives and activities which are implemented within the scope of environment protection.Universidade Católica de Santos - Católica de Santo
The new Panopticon: Women’s experiences of mobile phone- mediated coercive control within abusive relationships
No full textThe prevalence of domestic abuse worldwide has long been described as a pandemic (Fawcett Society, 2018), but COVID-19 lockdown saw an international surge with the United Nations Secretary General Antionio Guterrest urging all governments to put women’s safety first when they respond to the pandemic. Simultaneously, there has been unprecedented dependence on technology at a time when mobile phone ownership surpassed the six billion mark (Statista, 2020). The part technology plays in the abuse of others, especially within domestic abuse and coercive control, is gaining increasing attention (Douglas et al., 2019; Dragiewicz et al., 2018; Harris & Woodlock, 2019; Woodlock et al., 2019). However, understanding is still relatively limited regarding how mobile phones enable what we have termed ‘agile technological surveillance’ (Havard & Lefevre, 2020). By this, we mean how the mobile phone’s diverse capabilities and portability can enable an abuser to track and monitor their partner in various ways ‘on the go’ and irrespective of physical proximity, facilitating a new kind of intimate invasion and control. This process requires further theorising if professionals are to understand its impact on survivors and be able to assess risk effectively.
This chapter seeks to address this gap in the literature through considering the experiences of twelve women in the United Kingdom whose mobile phones had been co-opted by their male partners during their coercive control and domestic abuse. Their stories were gathered during a qualitative doctoral study by the first author. We draw on Foucault’s concept of docile bodies and use of Bentham’s Panopticon as lenses to understand the insidious effect of the surveillance and how it caused the women to think, feel and behave differently
Contribution à la réduction des îlots de chaleur urbains en milieu tropical : observation, modélisation, validation et perspectives pour l’aménagement urbain
No full textBy 2050, the global urban population is expected to increase by more than 2.5 billion people, mainly in tropical and subtropical regions. Climate warming, estimated at +1.5 °C, makes the adoption of adaptation strategies urgent, particularly in these territories. In cities, these effects are amplified by the urban heat island (UHI) phenomenon, a local rise in temperatures caused by high building density, reduced vegetated areas, and the widespread use of mineral materials. This phenomenon represents a growing risk to the health and comfort of urban populations.This thesis is part of the ICU-TROPIC project, funded under the “Plan Innovation Outre-Mer” of Action Logement. It takes place on Réunion Island, a tropical French territory in the Indian Ocean, and aims to propose urban planning strategies to reduce UHI intensity and improve thermal comfort, based on two complementary approaches: measurement and modelling.The first part focuses on observing the urban climate. A UHI map of the island, produced using the Local Climate Zones (LCZ) method, made it possible to identify the most exposed urban morphologies and cross-reference this information with urban planning documents to guide territorial planning. In parallel, a network of 25 low-cost meteorological stations was designed, validated, and deployed in two neighborhoods, continuously collecting temperature, humidity, radiation, and wind data. These measurements provide a detailed view of the spatial variability of UHIs and thermal comfort within the urban fabric.The second part is devoted to numerical simulation using the ENVI-met model, validated here for a hot and humid tropical climate. Field data were used to verify its reliability before applying it to test different planning scenarios for 2050, incorporating regulatory constraints (such as “Zero Net Land Take”), as well as climatic and demographic projections. The simulations highlight concrete levers for action at the neighborhood scale, combining densification with climate adaptation.Ultimately, this research provides both scientific tools and operational recommendations to integrate urban climate issues into planning policies, optimize the morphology of tropical cities, and sustainably improve the thermal comfort of their inhabitants.D'ici 2050, la population urbaine mondiale devrait croître de plus de 2,5 milliards de personnes, principalement dans les régions tropicales et subtropicales. Le réchauffement climatique, estimé à +1,5 °C, rend urgente l’adoption de stratégies d’adaptation, en particulier dans ces territoires. En ville, ces effets sont amplifiés par le phénomène d’îlot de chaleur urbain (ICU), élévation locale des températures due à la densité bâtie, à la réduction des espaces végétalisés et à l’omniprésence de matériaux minéraux. Ce phénomène représente un risque croissant pour la santé et le confort des habitants.Cette thèse s’inscrit dans le projet ICU-TROPIC, financé dans le cadre du Plan Innovation Outre-Mer d’Action Logement. Elle se déroule à La Réunion, territoire insulaire tropical de l’océan Indien. Elle vise à proposer des aménagements urbains adaptés pour limiter l’intensité des ICU et améliorer le confort thermique, en s’appuyant sur deux approches complémentaires : la mesure et la modélisation.La première partie porte sur l’observation du climat urbain. Une cartographie des ICU à l’échelle de l’île, réalisée selon la méthode des Local Climate Zones (LCZ), a permis d’identifier les morphologies urbaines les plus exposées et de croiser ces informations avec les documents d’urbanisme pour orienter la planification territoriale. Parallèlement, un réseau de 25 stations météorologiques à faible coût a été conçu, validé et déployé dans deux quartiers, collectant en continu température, humidité, rayonnement et vent. Ces données offrent une vision fine des variations spatiales des ICU et du confort thermique au sein du tissu urbain.La seconde partie est consacrée à la simulation numérique avec l’outil ENVI-met, validé ici pour un climat tropical chaud et humide. Les données de terrain ont permis d’en vérifier la fiabilité avant de l’utiliser pour tester différents scénarios d’aménagement à l’horizon 2050, intégrant les contraintes réglementaires (Zéro Artificialisation Nette), les projections climatiques et démographiques. Les simulations mettent en évidence des leviers d’action concrets à l’échelle du quartier, conciliant densification et adaptation climatique.En définitive, cette recherche apporte des outils et des recommandations opérationnelles pour intégrer les enjeux du climat urbain dans la planification, optimiser la morphologie des villes tropicales et améliorer durablement le confort thermique des habitants

États métastables dans les systèmes désordonnés : des verres de spins aux
No full textGlassy materials are characterised by the existence of a large number of metastable states. Amongst these systems spin glasses are the most studied and understood. However dense granular media have recently been shown to be glassy systems, and the role of metastable states here is not yet well understood. In this thesis results and analogies with spin glasses are exploited to study the stationary regime of vibrated granular media. In the first part of the thesis, the principal properties of the dynamics of mean-field spin glasses are reviewed. The concept of metastable states is discussed along with their role in ergodicity breaking in the glassy phase. Finally several techniques, both analytic and numeric, to calculate the entropy of metastable states are presented in detail. The second part of the thesis treats metastable states in granular systems. A tapping dynamics is is introduced leading to a, partially analytically tractable, model which serves as a paradigm for vibrated granular media. The scenario proposed by Edwards, where in the stationary state all metastable states are visited with the same probability, is tested on several models. The study of certain one-dimensional models permits one to understand the validity of this approach at high densities, while the study of models on random graphs demonstrates that the Edwards measure allows a description of non-trivial phenomena such as phase transitions. Finally, various tests to verify this approach on experimental systems are proposed.Les matériaux vitreux sont caractérisés par l'existence d'un grand nombre d'états métastables. Parmi ceux-ci, les verres de spins sont les systèmes les plus étudiés et les mieux connus. À l'opposé, l'appartenance des empilements granulaires à la classe des systèmes vitreux est récente, et le rôle des états métastables n'y est pas encore bien compris. Dans cette thèse, les connaissances acquises sur les verres de spins sont mises à profit pour étudier la dynamique stationnaire des milieux granulaires vibrés. Dans une première partie, les propriétés dynamiques essentielles des modèles de verres de spins en champ-moyen sont passées en revues. La notion d'état métastable est ensuite discutée, ainsi que le lien avec la perte d'ergodicité dans la phase vitreuse. Enfin, plusieurs méthodes numériques et analytiques permettant de calculer l'entropie configurationnelle sont exposées en détail. La seconde partie traite des états métastables dans les milieux granulaires. Un algorithme de "tapping" y est introduit, permettant d'obtenir un modèle paradigmatique pour l'étude des systèmes granulaires vibrés, partiellement accessible analytiquement. Le scénario proposé par Edwards selon lequel dans l'état stationnaire tous les états métastables sont visités avec la même probabilité est testée sur plusieurs modèles. L'étude de modèles unidimensionnels permet de comprendre la validité de cette approche aux grandes densités, alors que l'étude de modèles sur des graphes aléatoires montre que la mesure d'Edwards permet de décrire de façon précise des phénomènes non triviaux comme des transitions de phase. Enfin, des tests permettant de vérifier expérimentalement cette approche sont proposés
