Subtitling Neapolitan Dialect in “My Brilliant Friend”: Linguistic Choices and Sociocultural Implications in the Screen Adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s Best-selling Novel.
Full text linkn the screen adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s best-selling novel “My Brilliant Friend”, the first foreign language co-production of the American pay-cable network HBO with the Italian public broadcaster RAI, as a specific requirement of the American producers, the Italian of the main characters has been transformed into Neapolitan, a thick regional dialect mostly appropriate to tell the story of a life-long friendship on the backdrop of the 1950s poor outskirts of Naples, the main city of southern Italy. Starting from some background theories of cultural aspects of translation together with audiovisual translation, the aim of this presentation is that of analysing how English subtitlers have faced the translation of the dialectal elements in such a culture-bound audiovisual text and to what extent their choices depend on those made by Italian subtitlers, then discussing about the sociocultural implications of the solutions adopted. The data have been organized and presented with reference to the extralinguistic and the intralinguistic levels (in terms of syntactical, lexico-semantic and crosscultural pragmatic elements)
Ten Cases of Feline Mesothelioma: an Immunohistochemical and Ultrastructural Study
No full textMesotheliomas are rare in the cat with only ten previously reported cases in the veterinary literature, affecting mostly the peritoneum. This paper describes another ten cases (5 females and 5 males; age range 1-17 years; 8 pleural and 2 peritoneal). Histologically, 5 tumours were epithelial, 3 fibrosarcomatous and 2 biphasic. Several immunohistochemical markers have been suggested in human pathology as useful markers for the identification of mesothelioma: vimentin, cytokeratin (CK) AE1/AE3, HBME-1, CK 5/6, calretinin, thrombomodulin, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), CD15, E-cadherin and desmin. On the basis of this, antibodies CK 5/6, HBME-1, calretinin, thrombomodulin and CD15 have been tested in the cat for the first time. All cases were positive for both vimentin and CK AE1/AE3, 6 cases for HBME-1, 2 cases for CK 5/6, 3 cases for CEA and 4 cases for E-Cadherin. All cases were negative for desmin, calretinin. Thrombomodulin and CD15 did not cross-react with feline tissues. Electron microscopy was performed in 4 cases, revealing the presence of microvillar structures, desmosomes and intracytoplasmic lumina, confirming its utility as diagnostic tool. The results presented show that mesothelial markers commonly used in humans can be used for the diagnosis of feline mesothelioma, preferably a panel of antibodies rather than a single one
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
The Author/Translator Interactional Process. A Case Study
No full textSee Naples and Kill (1988) is a lively and colourful novel by the con-temporary English writer, Gregory Dowling, translated into Italian in 2015.
Following the tradition of translation studies (Venuti 2000, Bass-nett 2002, Cronin 2006), this paper analyses the rewriting process of literary translation, considering in particular the fruitful but sometimes tense and even conflictual relationship between writer and translator.
The translation of the novel See Naples and Kill was an ongoing rewriting process entailing a constant dialogue between the writer and the translator. Therefore, the study aims at answering two main ques-tions: what happens if the rewriting process of translation is constant-ly questioned by the author? What happens if the author has a good mastery of the target language and s/he is her/himself a translator?
By exploring the relationship between translation and re-creation, the research focuses on the differences and similarities between the primary creation (source text) and the secondary creation (target text), and aims to verify in which way the dialogic encounter of two different personalities and cultures does not make them merge but, by retaining their own uniqueness, leads eventually to their mutually en-riching each other. A comparative analysis of the source text and the different drafts of the translated version accompanied by the author’s comments will shed light on the tense author-translator relationship in the specific case under investigation and how both actors handle this tension in order to create a new work resulting from the (dis)agreement of the two parties
L'uso della Lingua nativa e non nativa nei processi psico-sociali di costruzione di autenticità del parlante
No full textVariations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Tutela multilivello dell'ambiente ed economia circolare nell'industria alimentare
No full textLa raccolta di contributi dal titolo “Tutela dell’ambiente ed economia circolare nell’industria alimentare” a cura di F.E. Celentano, R. De Meo, M. Robles, si inserisce nelle attività del progetto “Valorizzazione dei sottoprodotti dell’industria alimentare ai fini dell’innovazione dei processi produttivi di mangimi tra benessere animale e sviluppo sostenibile” (Codice identificativo S18 - CUP: H99J21017650006) finanziato dall’Unione europea.
L’«ambiente», lungi dal designare etimologicamente un asettico spazio circostante nel quale si trova una persona o un oggetto, diviene situazione «giuridica», poiché (antropica) «proiezione» della «persona», ove la «qualità» del primo rappresenta un infungibile attributo «esistenziale» inerente al «diritto alla qualità di vita» di quest’ultima. Ripensare, così, sub specie juris l’«ecologicamente impattante» comporta farsi carico anzitutto dell’inquadramento del fenomeno nell’attuale quadro costituzionale, riconoscendo che l’attore socialmente «eco-responsabile» da “contadino” dissodatore ma, per ciò stesso, sfruttatore «esclusivo» è chiamato a divenire “imprenditore” attento ad orientare lo sviluppo, in funzione del benessere collettivo.
Di qui, l’opportunità di suddividere i contributi raggruppandoli in due sottoinsiemi.
Il primo si focalizza sulle fonti di approvvigionamento alimentare, con la riscoperta – si direbbe «fisiocratica» à la Cantillon – del “valore-terra”, che impone un netto passo in avanti dal “dominicale” «diritto soggettivo» di
natura ad una “adespota” «soggettività giuridica» della natura per via degli esseri che ne formano la biodiversità, come tale tutelabile secondo le sue plurime manifestazioni (purché) nei limiti di quanto «utilmente gestibile».
Il secondo affronta la questione “valoriale”, posta con forza, e da ultimo, dall’Agenda O.N.U. 2030 per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile – i cui obiettivi strategici sono stati ampiamente ripresi dalle istituzioni euro-unitarie – nell’indicare la
direzione di perseguire sempre più un consumo «critico», al fine precipuo di creare un mercato economicamente (e fiscalmente) «razionale» nella misura in cui sia, al contempo, promozionalmente «equo e solidale»
Ambiente, animali, cibo. Scelte etiche di consumo alimentare e tutela della persona nel mercato sostenibile
No full textUna valorizzazione delle istanze socio-ambientaliste dei consumatori trova la sua sede naturale nel quadro allargato delle politiche del diritto allo sviluppo sostenibile. In esse si rispecchiano gli orizzonti valoriali della
persona e dei suoi diritti fondamentali, coniugati alla tensione del diritto dei
contratti e dell’autonomia privata a cercare nuove forme di giustizia e solidarietà nei mercati ecologicamente sensibili. Il ruolo del giurista, nell’assunzione del nuovo orizzonte assiologico della sostenibilità, è quello di tentare di ricomporre un quadro che appare in larga parte disarticolato da una globalizzazione dei mercati che ha contribuito a
decostruire la dimensione sociale, partecipando, con i suoi strumenti di lettura, alla stratificazione di una nuova cultura giuridica che sappia incidere sul diritto dei consumi secondo un approccio basato sulle libertà fondamentali e sulla tutela dei diritti
