No full textTese (doutorado) - Universidade Federal Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-Graduação em Literatura.Este trabalho parte da tradução de A Sentimental Journey, de Laurence Sterne, para fazer um exame de questões ligadas à narrativa quando confrontadas com a necessidade da tradução. Para tal, serão consideradas a oscilação entre o sentimental e o humor e a fronteira sutil que os separa ao longo do romance, a ironia, a paródia, bem como as estratégias adotadas na tradução proposta e em outras já publicadas no Brasil This study will look at the translation of Laurence Sterne's A Sentimental Journey and examine certain translational issues arising from the narrative. These include the oscillation between sentimental and humorous elements and the fine line that separates them throughout the novel, use of irony, parody, and also translational strategies adopted by the author, and by others in previous translations of the work in Brazil

Edissa Faure
No full textEdissa Faure Species of the subfamily Dendrothripinae breed only on leaves, and their hosts are almost exclusively dicotyledonous plants. The species of Edissa appear to be the only members of this subfamily in which species breed on the leaves of Poaceae. Two species have been described, E. flava from South Africa and Sudan, and E. steinerae from north-eastern Australia including the Torres Straits Islands. Un-named specimens have also been studied from Thailand and southern Japan (Mound, 1999). No males of Edissa are known, and the small differences between the available samples might be interpreted as representing variation within a single widespread species.Published as part of Mound, Laurence A., 2011, Grass-dependent Thysanoptera of the family Thripidae from Australia, pp. 1-40 in Zootaxa 3064 on page 18, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20056
Jacotia Faure
No full text<i>Jacotia</i> Faure <p> This genus was based originally on a single species from South Africa, <i>Jacotia elegiae</i> Faure. Subsequently, three species were described from southern and eastern Australia, and an illustrated key to the four species was provided together with a redefinition of the genus (Mound, 1995b). Since then a further four species have been collected in various parts of Australia, and these are available in the Australian National Insect Collection, Canberra. One of these species is particularly distinctive and, as it is known from a good series, it is described here. All members of this genus are small and slender, with large eyes and short legs, and the dorsal surface is finely sculptured into complex patterns.</p>Published as part of <i>Mound, Laurence A. & Minaei, Kambiz, 2006, New fungusfeeding thrips (Thysanoptera Phlaeothripinae) from tropical Australia, pp. 1-17 in Zootaxa 1150</i> on page 11, DOI: <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/273405">10.5281/zenodo.273405</a>
Paul Laurence Dunbar fishing photograph
No full textThis photograph shows poet Paul Laurence Dunbar fishing with a long pole from the banks of a river or creek, ca. 1900. Dunbar is pictured wearing casual slacks, a long-sleeved shirt, and a hat. A note written on the back of the photograph indicates that it was taken at the Toledo State Hospital in Toledo, Ohio. Dunbar, a native of Dayton, Ohio, was a nationally prominent African American poet, author, and playwright in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. By the time of his death in 1906, Dunbar had produced twelve collections of poetry, four collections of short stories, a play and five novels
Scirtothrips fulleri Faure
No full textScirtothrips fulleri Faure Scirtothrips fulleri Faure, 1929: 10 Described from 84 females and 31 males collected in Transvaal and Cape Province, particularly from two species of Acacia, this species has also been collected in the Cape Verde Islands (zur Strassen, 1993), including a long series of females from Dichrostachys cinerea (as glomerata) (Mimosaceae). The thrips is unusual because, in common with inermis, mangiferae and spinosus the tergal microtrichial fields have four, rather than three, setae. Diagnosis. Body mainly yellow, terga and sterna with dark antecostal ridges but without median dark area; antennal segments III–IV slightly paler than V–VIII; fore wing including clavus weakly shaded but wing apex pale. Ocellar setae III on or just within anterior margins of triangle; pronotum closely striate, posteromarginal setae no more than 0.3 as long as pronotum, S 2 about 1.3 times as long as S 1; fore wing second vein with 1–5 setae, cilia straight; metanotum transversely striate at anterior, apparently longitudinally striate medially; terga V–VII with 4 setae on each lateral microtrichial field, tergum VIII with microtrichia anteromedially, IX with microtrichia posteromedially; sterna without microtrichia medially. [zur Strassen (1993) states that females from Cape Verde Islands have 1–2 rows of microtrichia medially near the sternal posterior margins; these are not visible on the available paratypes].Published as part of Mound, Laurence A. & Stiller, Michael, 2011, Species of the genus Scirtothrips from Africa (Thysanoptera, Thripidae), pp. 51-61 in Zootaxa 2786 on page 57, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20403
Scirtothrips combreti Faure
No full textScirtothrips combreti Faure Scirtothrips combreti Faure, 1929: 8 Described from 24 females and 11 males collected in Transvaal, this species remains known only from these original specimens taken from five species of Combretum as well as a few other plants. The species is unusual because the fore wings are weakly bicoloured, and in females the sternal microtrichial fields extend just mesad of the median marginal setal pair S 1. Diagnosis. Body mainly yellow, terga and sterna with diffuse median dark area and antecostal ridges dark; antennal segments III–VIII mainly dark; fore wings with distal half pale, median area weakly shaded but base paler and clavus uniformly dark. Ocellar setae III on line of tangent between anterior margins of posterior ocelli; pronotum closely striate, posteromarginal setae no more than 0.3 times as long as pronotum, S 2 scarcely longer than S 1; fore wing first vein with widely spaced setae, second vein with 3–4 setae, cilia wavy; metanotum with elongate reticulation; tergum VIII with microtrichia anteromedially, IX with no microtrichia posteromedially; sterna with microtrichia extending just mesad of marginal setal pair S 1.Published as part of Mound, Laurence A. & Stiller, Michael, 2011, Species of the genus Scirtothrips from Africa (Thysanoptera, Thripidae), pp. 51-61 in Zootaxa 2786 on page 55, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20403
Scirtothrips spinosus Faure
No full textScirtothrips spinosus Faure (Figs 21, 22) Scirtothrips spinosus Faure, 1929: 16 Described from 11 females and four males, taken in Transvaal and Cape Province, this species is remarkable among Scirtothrips species for having two pairs of unusually long setae on the posterior margin of the pronotum. Diagnosis. Body mainly yellow, terga and sterna without median dark area but antecostal ridges dark; antennal segments II–VIII light brown; fore wing including clavus weakly shaded but extreme apex of wing pale. Ocellar setae III anterior to tangent between anterior margins of posterior ocelli (Fig. 21); pronotum striate but striae less closely spaced than aurantii, posteromarginal setae S 2 and S 3 about 0.7 times as long as pronotum (Fig. 21); fore wing second vein with 3–4 setae, distal posterior cilia straight but those at middle of wing wavy; metanotum with large elongate reticles medially (Fig. 21); terga V–VII with 4 discal setae on each lateral microtrichial field, VIII– IX with no microtrichia medially; sterna without microtrichia medially.Published as part of Mound, Laurence A. & Stiller, Michael, 2011, Species of the genus Scirtothrips from Africa (Thysanoptera, Thripidae), pp. 51-61 in Zootaxa 2786 on page 60, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20403
