    Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Com a intenção de delinear o modo pelo qual o escritor italiano Alessandro Baricco se inseriu no sistema literário brasileiro e os caminhos percorridos pelos seus livros traduzidos, esta dissertação dá voz às experiências tradutórias de seus tradutores. A inserção de Bariccono Brasil tem seu início em 1997, através de uma proposição da Profa. Dra. Roberta Barni à editora Iluminuras da tradução de Oceano Mare. A partir daí, outras sete obras foram publicadas no Brasil, sendo três delas traduzidas por Roberta Barni e as outras quatro por quatro tradutores diferentes. De um lado, considera-se o tradutor como figura principal namediação entre culturas, e, de outro, se analisa a realidade desta figuradentro do sistema literário, sua invisibilidade, seus limites e o exercíciode sua profissão. A pesquisa conta, ainda, com críticas e resenhas referentes ao autor italiano publicadas em jornais consagrados no Brasil, considerando estas como parte constituinte da imagem de Baricco refletida em território nacional. Abstract : Intending to delineate the way the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco has been inserted in the Brazilian literary system and the paths his translated books have followed, this thesis gives voice to the translating experiences of his translators. Baricco's insertion in Brazil began in 1997, through a personal project of Dr. Roberta Barni, with her translation of Oceano Mare. Since then, seven other of his works have been published in Brazil, three of which were translated by Roberta Barni and the other four by four different translators. On the one hand,the translator is considered as the main figure in mediation betweencultures and, on the other, this figure's reality is analyzed within theliterary system: its invisibility, its limits and its professional practice. Criticisms and reviews of this Italian author published in well established Brazilian newspapers are also considered, with the understanding that they are part of Baricco's image reflected here

    Mixed-oxide catalysts with vanadium as the key element for gas-phase reactions

    No full text
    This review deals with an analysis of the main structural and reactivity properties of mixed oxide systems containing vanadium oxide as the key component in catalysts for gas-phase reactions, mainly oxidations. Particular focus is placed on catalysts showing intrinsic bi-functional properties, where the combination of both acidic/basic properties and redox V-sites is a requisite for achieving optimal catalytic performance. For the selected catalytic systems, structure-reactivity correlations that have been proposed in many decades of literature were analysed, with the aim of shedding light on the molecular-level aspects of current processes and facilitating a more rational design of future catalysts

    La maturità di Alessandro Fei del Barbiere, in bilico tra Maniera e Riforma

    No full text
    This article studies the mature career of the Florentine painter Alessandro Fei del Barbiere (1537-1592), beginning with the rediscovery of the 'Ascension' altarpiece formerly in the Albizi Chapel in the destroyed church of San Pier Maggiore, Florence. Studying this painting and others recorded in 1584 by the biographer Raffaello Borghini, such as the two altarpieces for Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Madonna dell'Umiltà in Pistoia, the author reconstructs a body of works showing how in the 1580s Fei gradually went beyond the archaic style of his apprenticeship - he had been trained by Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio and Pierfrancesco Foschi, but was also marked by the Maniera of Vasari - evolving towards naturalism in both mimesis and pictorial handling. In Florence, his development partly parallels that of Santi di Tito and his circle, but Fei was also influenced by a probable sojourn during the early part of that decade in Rome, where he could have been inspired by Girolamo Muziano and the painters working for Pope Gregory XIII. Among other proposals, the author suggests that the artist was responsible for decorating the chancel of Fiesole Cathedral (c. 1584-1589), which consisted of an altarpiece, only rarely discussed by scholars, and a cycle of frescoes hitherto attributed to Nicodemo Ferrucci

    Tra socialdemocrazie e Perestrojka. Le relazioni internazionali del Pci attraverso le carte di Alessandro Natta

    No full text
    This essay reconstructs the foreign policy of the Italian Communist Party during the four years of Alessandro Natta’s secretariat (1984-1988) through largely original archival documentation, from the Alessandro Natta Fonds of the Historical Archive of the Chamber of Deputies. Natta’s papers are also cross-referenced with those kept in the PCI Archive at the Gramsci Foundation. The author analyses the relationship that the PCI establishes with Gorbachev’s Perestroika, Deng’s China, and European social democracies during the last years of the Cold War

    7 Biomass valorization: bioethanol upgrading to butadiene

    No full text
    Bioethanol is nowadays produced almost exclusively from biomass by fermentation. However, nowadays technologies for the direct trasnformation of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol present unsatisfactory performances for industrial applications.. So far, synthesis of chemicals from bioethanol have been put into practice only in regions where the cost of sugars is low, such as in Brazil. Several chemicals can be sythesized strating from bioethanol. In this chaoter, we shall deal with the upgrading and homologation of ethanol into butadiene, by means of the Lebedev and Ostromisslensky routes

    "Muy señor nuestro Alessandro Varaldo". La ricognizione del mondo spagnolo e portoghese per riscoprire un autore italiano di successo ma dimenticato

    Who is Alessandro Varaldo (1876-1953)? This first analysis about what was said, adapted and translated of Varaldo’s work in the Iberian Peninsula and South America, maybe the only areas outside Italy where some traces of Italian author can be found, is a chance to go along his literary paths that overtook two temporal barriers (1900 and 1950), although it has not overtaken the oblivion’s threshold.Questa è una prima ricognizione di ciò che è stato detto, adattato e tradotto di Alessandro Varaldo (1876-1953) nella Penisola iberica e in Sud America, che si sospetta siano gli unici territori stranieri dove si riesca a ritracciare qualcosa dell’autore italiano, ed è un’occasione per ripercorrerne la traiettoria letteraria che ha superato due transenne temporali come il 1900 e il 1950 ma non quella della dimenticanza

    Lean six sigma in a call centre : a case study

    No full text
    This paper, a case study, aims to illustrate the application of lean six sigma in a call centre of a service industry corporation. The study draws on process information and primary data from a real project. The study describes improvements in the operation of the call centre attributable to lean six sigma: increase in first-call resolution ratio, reduction in operator turnover and streamlining of processes. The introduction of lean six sigma into the call centre daily operations' management may have organizational benefits. Although lean six sigma has been extremely successful in the last two decades in the manufacturing sector, its applicability to the service sector has been a controversial topic. This study illustrates its application to a fast-growing area of the service sector, assisting companies in identifying areas of development for their call centres
