Translating ‘Historia del hombre que quiso parar el mundo’ from the collection Tanta pasión para nada by Julio Llamazares
No full textAs yet, Tanta pasión para nada has never been published as a translation in English. In fact, despite being a recognized author in the Spanish-speaking world, with numerous works published by the major publisher Alfaguara,1 only one book by the Spanish journalist and author Julio Llamazares has been translated into English. What could the reasons for this be? Charlotte Barslund highlights the fact that some authors’ books may not ‘travel’ well to another language even though it is technically possible to translate them, as they ‘may be deeply rooted in their own culture, and have little appeal to foreign readers, despite being highly regarded in their country of origin’ (2011: 151).Full Tex

Revenue-productive income tax structures and tax reforms in emerging market economies - evidence from Bulgaria
No full textUsing a household budget survey for 1992, The author shows the poor revenue performance and distributional impact of Bulgaria's personal income tax system. He explores the implications for revenue and income distribution of two alternative tax systems - a flat tax and a progressive but simpler three-brackets tax system. He demonstrates that simpler tax structures with lower tax rates could achieve at least equal revenue and distributional objectives and are superior in terms of efficiency and equity. (The findings are robust when Bulgaria's significant tax evasion is included). But tax changes since 1992 have, if anything, moved Bulgaria even further from a simple income tax system: the number of rates and brackets increased from 7 to 10, and the levels of exemption remain unchanged. (Complex, higher rates complicate administration and enforcement and provide incentives for tax evasions. And in the alternative systems the author explores, the poor are protected with higher exemptions.) Fortunately, the country's personal income tax structure began to move toward less nominal progressivity after Bulgaria's 1997 tax reform program. The tax rate in thetop income bracket was reduced from 52 percent to 40 percent, the number of tax brackets was halved, and the exemption level was increased 20 percent (reducing tax burdens on the poor).Environmental Economics&Policies,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Regional Governance,Tax Policy and Administration,Economic Theory&Research,Governance Indicators,Economic Theory&Research,Public Sector Economics&Finance,Environmental Economics&Policies,Tax Policy and Administration
Business Organization and Coordination in Marketing Specialty Hogs: A Comparative Analysis of Two Firms from Iowa
No full textWe study business organization and coordination of specialty-market hog production using a comparative analysis of two Iowa pork niche-marketing firms.� We describe and analyze each firm's management of five key organizational challenges: planning and logistics, quality assurance, process verification and management of "credence attributes," business structure, and profit sharing.� Although each firm is engaged in essentially the same activity, there are substantial differences across the two firms in the way production and marketing are coordinated.� These differences are partly explained by the relative size and age of each firm, thus highlighting the importance of organizational evolution in agricultural markets, but are also partly the result of a formal organizational separation between marketing and production activities in one of the firms.specialty hogs
Identiteta in jezik druge generacije Argentincev: Lucía Lijtmaer: Casi nada que ponerte
No full textEste trabajo se propone analizar Casi nada que ponerte, la primera novela de Lucía Lijtmaer, escritora nacida en Argentina pero residente en España tras la huida de sus padres del país natal durante la dictadura. El interés de la novela radica en la posibilidad de ahondar en el fenómeno de estas narrativas, pero atendiendo a un caso peculiar, y mucho menos estudiado: el de los exiliados de «segunda generación», es decir, aquellos escritores que llegaron al lugar de acogida siendo niños o adolescentes –en el caso de Lijtmaer, llegó a España con siete meses de edad– y sufrieron el exilio no por decisión propia, sino por voluntad de sus mayores. Porque lo interesante es que, en esta situación temprana de exilio, este exilio no modifica, como ocurre con los escritores exiliados en edad adulta, sino que conforma, configura, su identidad. El exilio se convierte en característica inherente de su yo.This work aims to analyze Casi nada que ponerte, the debut novel by Lucía Lijtmaer, an author born in Argentina but residing in Spain after her parents fled their homeland during the dictatorship. The novel’s significance lies in its exploration of this narrative phenomenon, focusing on a peculiar and much less studied case: that of “second-generation” exiles. These are writers who arrived in their host country as children or adolescents—in Lijtmaer’s case, she arrived in Spain at just seven months old—and experienced exile not by their own choice but by the decisions of their elders. What is particularly interesting is that, in this early exile situation, exile does not alter their identity, as is often the case with writers exiled in adulthood; instead, it shapes and configures it. Exile becomes an inherent characteristic of their self.Članek analizira roman Casi nada que ponerte, prvi roman Lucíe Lijtmaer, pisateljice, rojene v Argentini, ki pa živi v Španiji, kamor so se njeni starši zatekli iz domovine v času diktature. Roman se poglablja v fenomen teh pripovedi, pri čemer se osredotoča na poseben in veliko manj raziskan primer druge generacije izgnancev, torej tistih pisateljev, ki so kot otroci ali mladostniki prispeli v gostiteljsko državo – Lijtmaer je prišla v Španijo pri sedmih mesecih – in so izgnanstvo doživeli ne po lastni volji, temveč zaradi odločitve svojih staršev. Zanimivo pri tem pa je, da to zgodnje izgnanstvo, za razliko od izgnanstva pisateljev, ki so se izselili kot odrasli, ne spremeni identitete, ampak jo oblikuje in določa. Izgnanstvo postane neločljiva značilnost njihovega jaza
John Cage e a poética do silêncio
No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em LiteraturaEsta tese se propõe a analisar o silêncio a partir da obra de John Cage (especialmente a literária e a musical). Esse silêncio, inicialmente compreendido por Cage como um empírico (a pausa em música), revela-se gradualmente um transcendente: não mais uma substância nem a simples ausência de som, mas um modo da ação (modo de silêncio), aparecendo como estilo, profundidade, aura, dimensão, verticalidade, densidade. Esse silêncio implica modos de percepção e temporalidade próprios, descritos aqui a partir das noções de Gelassenheit (Heidegger) e Awareness (Gestalt) e estabelecendo conexões com as noções de Invisível em Merleau-Ponty e de Nada no Zen-budismo

Children's classics translated from English under Franco: the censorship of the William books and the Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
No full textPhDThe thesis documents the censorship histories of Mark Twain's The Adventures of Tom
Sawyer and Richmal Crompton's William books under Franco, and analyses these
censorship histories in terms of the changing character of the regime. Previously
unconsulted primary sources are used, such as censors' reports and translation proofs
held in the Archivo General de la Administración del Estado at Alcalá de Henares.
The censors' reports demonstrate that children's literature and translated literature were
treated as special cases by the regime, and that censorship was particularly harsh in
both areas. These findings demonstrate the crucial importance of attitudes to childhood
and foreignness in the Francoist ideological scheme.
The censorship histories of Tom Sawyer and the William books reveal some
surprising facts. The William books began to be persecuted by the censors in late
1942, precisely the moment when the regime was seeking a rapprochement with the
Allied powers as the course of the War turned in the latter's favour. This prohibition
cannot be understood without exploring the factors which differentiate children's
literature from adult literature in the context of Francoism. The books' peculiarly
English character also had a vital bearing on how they were censored.
The history of Tom Sawyer in Spain demonstrates the effect of literary status
on censorship practice. Early in the regime, the censors generally considered Tom
Sawyer to be a work for adults. From the mid-1950s, however, children's literature was
inscribed as a special category in censorship legislation, and the censors began to view
editions of the work as specifically intended for children. Tom Sawyer thus
encountered censorship problems in the later years of the regime, supposedly more
liberal than the earlier period. Again, these problems would be inexplicable without
examining the evolution of the publishing industry and Francoist attitudes to literature
and the child.
The thesis also provides a detailed analysis of the type of suppressions imposed
on the books studied, under the following headings: religion; love, sexuality and
gender; authority and politics, nation and race; crime, terror and violence
