Uma análise do humor irônico em duas traduções brasileiras de Jakob Der Lügner de Jurek Becker
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos da TraduçãoO objetivo desta dissertação é analisar a tradução do humor irônico em duas versões brasileiras do primeiro romance do escritor de origem judaico-alemã, Jurek Becker (1982). A teoria que embasa a nossa análise é a metodologia desenvolvida por Katharina Reiß na Alemanha (1971), mediante a qual a autora visava a uma crítica de tradução mais objetiva, que contemplasse a especificidade do texto traduzido. A presente pesquisa analisa a qualidade dos equivalentes propostos por dois tradutores no translado do humor irônico em torno do elemento de enredo, um fabuloso rádio, com o qual o personagem central da narrativa Jakob der Lügner espalha sinais de esperança em um gueto judeu. Para avaliar a qualidade dos equivalentes propostos, a pesquisa emprega a categoria lingüística e a categoria pragmática da crítica de tradução da abordagem de Reiß e seu conceito central, a equivalência. The aim of the present thesis is to analyse the translation of ironic humour in two Brazilian translations of the first novel of the German Jewish writer Jurek Becker (1982). The theoretical background for our analysis is the methodology developed by Katharina Reiß in Germany (1971), which aims at objective translation criticism that takes into account the specificity of a tranlated text. The present research analyses the quality of the equivalents proposed by two translators with respect to the ironic humour surrounding an element of the narrative, a fabulous radio, through which the main character of Jakob der Lügner (Jacob, the Liar) brings a flash of hope in a Jewish ghetto. To assess the quality of the equivalents proposed, the research employs the linguistic and the pragmatic categories of Reiß translation criticism and its central concept, the equivalence
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and homocysteine levels in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid
No full textBackground: There is evidence that homocysteine contributes to various neurodegenerative disorders. Objective: To assess the values of homocysteine in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) in both cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and plasma. Methods: Study design: Case control study. Total homocysteine was quantified in CSF and plasma samples of CJD patients (n = 13) and healthy controls (n = 13). Results: Mean values in healthy controls: 0.15 mumol/l +/- 0.07 (CSF) and 9.10 mumol/l +/- 2.99 (plasma); mean values in CJD patients: 0.13 mumol/l +/- 0.03 (CSF) and 9.22 mumol/l +/- 1.81 (plasma). No significant differences between CJD patients and controls were observed (Mann-Whitney U, p > 0.05). Conclusions: The results indicate that the CSF and plasma of CJD patients showed no higher endogenous levels of homocysteine as compared to normal healthy controls. These findings provide no evidence for an additional role of homocysteine in the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying CJD neurodegeneration. Copyright (C) 2005 S. Karger AG, Basel
A translation into English of the German novel Jakob der Lügner by Jurek Becker
No full textThis thesis is a translation of the German novel Jakob der Lugner by Jurek Becker. In my commentary I have tried to explain why I undertook the project of translating this novel from German into English, when that had already been done by Melvin Kornfeld. Kornfeld\u27s translation, which is no longer in print, fails to do justice to Jurek Becker\u27s style and changes a story of heartwarming simplicity, humor and psychological insight into a somewhat tedious account of the life in a ghetto during World War II

ATM Alters the Otherwise Robust Chromatin Mobility at Sites of DNA Double-Strand Breaks (DSBs) in Human Cells
No full textIonizing radiation induces DNA double strand breaks (DSBs) which can lead to the formation of chromosome rearrangements through error prone repair. In mammalian cells the positional stability of chromatin contributes to the maintenance of genome integrity. DSBs exhibit only a small, submicron scale diffusive mobility, but a slight increase in the mobility of chromatin domains by the induction of DSBs might influence repair fidelity and the formation of translocations. The radiation-induced local DNA decondensation in the vicinity of DSBs is one factor potentially enhancing the mobility of DSB-containing chromatin domains. Therefore in this study we focus on the influence of different chromatin modifying proteins, known to be activated by the DNA damage response, on the mobility of DSBs. IRIF (ionizing radiation induced foci) in U2OS cells stably expressing 53BP1-GFP were used as a surrogate marker of DSBs. Low angle charged particle irradiation, known to trigger a pronounced DNA decondensation, was used for the defined induction of linear tracks of IRIF. Our results show that movement of IRIF is independent of the investigated chromatin modifying proteins like ACF1 or PARP1 and PARG. Also depletion of proteins that tether DNA strands like MRE11 and cohesin did not alter IRIF dynamics significantly. Inhibition of ATM, a key component of DNA damage response signaling, resulted in a pronounced confinement of DSB mobility, which might be attributed to a diminished radiation induced decondensation. This confinement following ATM inhibition was confirmed using X-rays, proving that this effect is not restricted to densely ionizing radiation. In conclusion, repair sites of DSBs exhibit a limited mobility on a small spatial scale that is mainly unaffected by depletion of single remodeling or DNA tethering proteins. However, it relies on functional ATM kinase which is considered to influence the chromatin structure after irradiation. © 2014 Becker et al
Bénéfices et dangers du mensonge et de l’espoir à partir de Jakob le menteur de Jurek Becker
No full textJakob le menteur montre l’interaction permanente entre l’individu et le collectif, entre l’auteur et ses personnages, entre ceux-ci et le héros, entre l’auteur et ses lecteurs, entre le lecteur et les personnages. Entre lui et tous les autres, l’auteur a placé le narrateur au centre du livre. Dans un ghetto, en Pologne, Jakob apprend par hasard que les soldats soviétiques s’approchent de la ville. Il transmet l’information à son ami et très vite tout le ghetto, au courant, pense qu’il a une radio cachée, ce qui est puni de mort, et qu’il écoute les informations sur l’évolution du front. Il ne peut ensuite démentir tant cette fiction répond aux attentes de tous. Il décide alors de poursuivre la supercherie, jusqu’à la déportation de la population du ghetto. Le livre ouvre six questions majeures : 1. dans un contexte de barbarie quel rôle joue l’imaginaire ? 2. Quelles attitudes avoir envers l’imaginaire et la réalité ? 3. Quels sont les bénéfices et les risques de l’espoir ? 4. Quels sont ceux de la crédulité et du scepticisme ? 5. Comment résoudre le dilemme éthique posé par la fiction et le mensonge qui soutiennent l’espoir ? 6. Quelle est la relation entre l’auteur de la fiction et son public, que ce soit entre Jakob et les autres personnages ou entre Jurek Becker et nous, ses lecteurs ? Ces questions sont présentes tout au long de ce texte. Ainsi, la fiction qui diffuse l’espoir est acte de résistance qui suscite d’autres résistances. Becker n’idéalise ni Jakob ni les Juifs du ghetto. Il décrit leurs petites faiblesses, mais avec humour et tendresse, sans colère ni mépris, avec empathie et compréhension solidaire. Il évite ainsi d’engager le lecteur sur des rails et dans des identifications et empathies excessives qui gêneraient sa liberté et sa capacité de réflexion. Ce faisant, il contribue à enrichir et complexifier son regard sur l’histoire des ghettos, combattant ainsi le risque d’une mémoire figée, officielle.Jakob the liar shows the permanent interaction between the individual and the collective, between the author and his characters, between these characters and the hero, between the author and his readers, between the readers and the characters. Between himself and all the others, the author puts the narrator at the center of the book. In a ghetto, in Poland, Jakob learns, by chance, that the Soviet soldiers are approaching. He tells this information to his friend, and very soon all the Jews in the ghetto think that he has a hidden radio, which is punished by death, and that he listens to the news about the evolution of the war front. This fiction then fits so much everybody’s expectations that he cannot deny it. He decides to continue this deception until the deportation of the ghetto. This book presents six major questions : 1. In a context of inhumanity, which role does imagination play? 2. Which attitudes must we have towards imagination and reality? 3. What are the benefits and the risks of hope? 4. What are those of credulity and scepticism? How can the ethical dilemma caused by fiction and lying supporting hope be resolved? What is the relationship between the author of the fiction and his audience, be it between Jakob and the other characters or Jurek Becker and us, his readers? These questions are present throughout the text. The fiction which spawns hope is an act of resistance which gives rise to further resistance. Jurek Becker does not idealize Jakob nor the Jews of the ghetto. He describes their petty weaknesses, but with humor and tenderness, without anger or contempt, with empathy, understanding and solidarity. Thus, he avoids railroading the reader into identifications and excessive empathy with the characters, which would hinder his liberty and capacity to think. In so doing, Jurek Becker contributes to making richer and more complex our knowledge of the history of the ghettos, by fighting the risk of a fixed and official memory. traduction en anglais, Norbert OppenheimJakub kłamca pokazuje stałe wzajemne oddziaływanie między jednostką i zbiorowościa, między autorem i jego bohaterami, między tymi bohaterami a prawdziwym bohaterem, między autorem i jego czytelnikami, między czytelnikiem a bohaterami jego książki. Wybierając wśród wszystkich innych postaci, autor postawił w centrum książki właśnie narratora. W jakimś getcie, w Polsce, Jakub dowiaduje się przypadkowo, że żołnierze radzieccy zbliżają się do miasta. Przekazuje tę informację swojemu przyjacielowi, wieść roznosi się natychmiast po całym getcie, wszyscy myślą, że Jakub posiada ukryty radioodbiornik, za co grozi kara śmierci, i że słucha wiadomości z frontu. Jakub nie może już potem zdementować tej informacji, gdyż ta fikcja spełnia oczekiwania wszystkich. Decyduje się więc utrzymać to kłamstwo aż do deportacji z getta. Książka zadaje sześć zasadniczych pytań: 1. W kontekście barbarzyństwa, jaką rolę odgrywa wyobraźnia? 2. Jakie postawy przyjąć wobec wyobraźni i rzeczywistości? 3. Jakie są korzyści, a jakie ryzyko płynące z nadziei? 4. A jakie z łatwowierności i sceptycyzmu? 5. Jak rozwiąza dylemat etyczny postawiony przez fikcję i kłamstwo, które podtrzymują nadzieję? 6. Jaka jest relacja miedzy autorem fikcji i jego publicznością, czyli między Jakubem i innymi postaciami lub między Jurkiem Beckerem a nami, jego czytelnikami? Te zagadnienia są wszechobecne w tekście. W ten sposób, fikcja, która wzbudza nadzieję, jest aktem oporu, który wywołuje kolejne działania. Jurek Becker nie idealizuje ani Jakuba, ani innych Żydow z getta. Opisuje ich słabostki, ale robi to z humorem i czułością, bez gniewu ani pogardy, z empatią, solidarnością i zrozumieniem. Unika w ten sposób zaangażowania czytelnika w kierunku przesadnych i empatycznych identyfikacji, które ograniczają jego swobodą i zdolność do myślenia. Postępując tak, przeciwstawia się pamięci sztywnej, oficjalnej, i przyczynia się do wzbogacenia swojej wizji dotyczącej historii gett.traduction en polonais, Agnieszka Grudzinska et Jean-Charles Szure
Zur Baummetaphorik in dem Roman "Jakob der Lügner" vom Holocaust-Zeitzeugen Jurek Becker
No full textJurek Becker (30.09.1937 in Łódź – 14.03.1997 in Sieseby) ist ein polnisch-deutscher Schriftsteller der DDR-Literatur, ein Drehbuchautor und Holocaust-Zeitzeuge zugleich. Er hat die Konzentrationslager Ravensbrück und Sachsenhausen überlebt und zählt somit zu den wenigen Autoren die selbst die Shoah erlebt haben und darüber fiktiv schreiben. In jenem Roman der DDR-Literatur Jakob der Lügner erzählt der Autor eine eindrucksvolle Lügengeschichte vom Ghetto. Durch den diskursinternen Einblick in das Ghettoleben übt er Kritik am Nationalsozialismus, entlarvt die nationalsozialistischen Mechanismen und setzt somit literarische Denk- und Mahnmäler, die in dem vorliegenden Aufsatz herauszuarbeiten gilt. Der in sechsundzwanzig Sprachen übersetzte Roman war in erster Linie als eine Kinoproduktion geplant, die allerdings aufgrund einiger Uneinigkeiten eingestellt werden musste. Jurek Becker formte sodann seinen Diskurs in die literarische Form eines Romans um, sodass das Werk 1969 vom Aufbau-Verlag verlegt wurde. Die Publikation in der BRD war ein Jahr später durch den Luchterhand-Verlag.Demnach ist Ziel der Arbeit den literarischen Widerstand unter besonders zwei Aspekten zu analysieren; zum einen in Bezug auf die Thematisierung und Einbettung der Lügengeschichte und zum anderen im Zusammenhang mit der Darstellung der Baummetaphorik. Bäume nehmen nämlich eine gesonderte Funktion im Roman ein, und deshalb soll überprüft werden, ob und in welchem Umfang Bäume als Erinnerungsorte für Jüdinnen und Juden gelten, als Hoffnungsvermittler fungieren und die Ahnen der jüdischen Ethnie versinnbildlichen. Letzteres soll durch die Analyse der Personifizierung der Jüdinnen und Juden durch Bäume näher der Analyse herangezogen sein.On the Tree Metaphor in the Novel Jakob The Liar by the Holocaust Survivor Jurek BeckerJurek Becker (September 30th, 1937 in Łódź – March 14th, 1997 in Sieseby) is a Polish-German author of the German Democratic Republic (henceforth GDR) literature, a screenwriter and Holocaust witness at the same time. He survived the Ravensbrück and Sachsenhausen concentration camps and is therefore one of the few authors who experienced the Shoah themselves and wrote about it fictionally. In the novel of GDR literature, Jakob the Liar, the author tells an impressive story of lies about the ghetto. Through the discourse-internal insight into ghetto life, he criticizes National Socialism, unmasks the National Socialist mechanisms and thus sets literary monuments and memorials, which are to be worked out in the present paper. The novel, which is translated into twenty-six languages, was primarily planned as a production for the cinema, which, however, had to be canceled due to some disagreements. Jurek Becker then transformed his discourse into the literary form of a novel, so that the work was published in 1969 by Aufbau-Verlag. The publication in the Federal Republic of Germany was a year later by the Luchterhand publishing house.Accordingly, the aim of the work is to analyze the literary resistance from two aspects in particular; on the one hand in relation to the thematization and embedding of the lie story into the novel and on the other hand in connection with the representation of the tree metaphor. Trees have a special function in the novel, and it is therefore intended to examine whether and to what extent trees are considered as places of remembrance for Jews, act as beacons of hope and symbolize the ancestors of the Jewish ethnic group. The latter should be drawn closer to interpretation through the analysis of the personification of the Jews through trees
Roman Jureka Beckera "Lažljivi Jakob
No full textDas Thema dieser Arbeit ist das Buch „Jakob der Lügner“ von Jurek Becker. Das Buch ist aus der DDR Zeit und der Ort der Handlung sind Konzentrationslager die sich in diesen Teil des Landes befanden. Der Protagonist ist ein Jude der mit tausenden anderen das gleiche Schicksal teilen musste. Die Arbeit leite ich mit der kurzen Biographie von Jurek Becker ein, da sie sehr wichtig ist für das Verstehen und die Interpretation des Werks. In der Arbeit möchte ist das Leben der Juden und anderen Gefangenen und Märtyrer ihnen nahebringen. Außerdem will ich die Hauptfigur analysieren und sehen, ob Jakob ein Held oder nur ein Lügner am Ende ist. Ein wichtiges Motiv im Werk ist das Motiv des Baums, das mehrmals erwähnt wird und unter dem alles beginnt und endet. Auch die Erzählstruktur ist außergewöhnlich und Wert zu erwähnen. An mehreren Stellen meldet sich der Erzähler mit einem Kommentar oder einem Hinweis auf seine Quellen. Was will der Autor Becker mit dem Titel „Jakob der Lügner“ uns sagen? Sind Lügen immer eine negative Sache? Anhand dieser Frage werde ich das Thema Lügner oder Held analysieren und interpretieren
