Fresh fruit and vegetables: a world of multiple interactions : the case of the Buenos Aires Central Wholesale Market (BACWM)
No full textThis research explores ethnographically the everyday social interactions between the ‘users’ of a particular marketplace, the Buenos Aires Central Wholesale Market (BACWM). The ‘users’ of this marketplace are the social actors who work there everyday, and who bring and buy fresh produce. These ´users´ are the ´makers´ of the BACWM since, through their everyday practices, interactions and interpretations and knowledge, they socially construct this hub of distribution

Literatura infantil em tradução funcionalista com base no exemplo de Ein Feuerwerk für den Fuchs
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2010Christiane Nord (1991) defende que o seu modelo de análise voltada à tradução atende a todos os tipos de textos, inclusive aos literários. Entretanto, outras pesquisas, como a de Leal (2007), sugerem haver lacunas no modelo, especialmente no contexto literário. Este trabalho retoma esta questão, aplicando o modelo de Nord na tradução comentada da obra ilustrada de Literatura Infantil (LI) Ein Feuerwerk für den Fuchs (do sueco Rävjakten), do autor e ilustrador Sven Nordqvist e propondo melhorias a esta abordagem. Com base nesta obra, levantamos duas discussões-chave neste estudo: LI e LI em tradução funcionalista. Devido à delimitação linguística do modelo de Nord, sugerimos o estudo do texto de partida também com base nos fatores constituintes de obras de êxito propostos por Tabbert (1994). Os resultados apontam que o modelo de Tabbert auxilia na complementação da abordagem funcionalista de Nord ao apresentar quais elementos da narrativa influenciam o receptor de LI, contribuindo para que a expectativa do leitor seja atendida.Christiane Nord declares that her translation-oriented model (1991) is appropriate for all text-types, including the literary texts. However, other researchers such as Leal (2007) suggest there are gaps in this approach, especially in the literary context. In this work we look into this matter again, applying Nord's model in an annotated translation of the picture book Ein Feuerwerk für den Fuchs (in swedish Rävjakten), written and illustrated by Sven Nordqvist and suggesting improves for this approach. In this study we consider two main points: Children's literature (CL) and CL in functional translation. Due to the linguistic delimitation of Nord's model, we propose the study of the source text based on the compounding factors of successful books presented by Tabbert (1994). The results show that Tabbert's model complements Nord's model by presenting the narrative elements which influence the receiver of CL, contributing to the achieving of the readers expectation
Maria Cristina Arellana, Georgina Estevez, and Laura Tobie
No full textThis 1965 photograph shows Maria Cristina Arellana of Havana, Cuba, Georgina Estevez and Laura Tobie, both of Caracas, Venezuela in Hubert Hayes Memorial Log Cabin. Founder and director of the Mountain Youth Jamboree, Hubert H. Hayes (1901-1964) auditioned and directed youth to perform in folk dance, music, and folk and ballad singing. The jamboree was held in the Asheville City Auditorium (now known as Thomas Wolfe Auditorium) from 1948 to 1973, and Hayes’ wife, Leona Trantham Hayes (1913-1989) continued to direct the program after his death in 1964. Hubert Hayes was an author, playwright, and alumni of Duke University
L'unificazione del mondo. Alexandre Kojève e lo Stato universale e omogeneo
No full textThe Author reconstructs the genesis and the later developments of the concepts of the «universal and homogeneous State» in Kojève’s writings. From the lectures on Hegel to the Phenomenology of Right and the correspondence with Leo Strauss and Carl Schmitt, the paper analyses Kojève’s thought on the universal and homogeneous State as the political form of the post-historical age. In the last part, the Author reflects on Kojève’s vision of the political form of Europe
Immagini della libertà
No full textThis essay reconstructs several images of political concept of freedom in the
modern and contemporary tradition. In the first part the Author traces the genealogy
of modern political concept of freedom that produces the achievement of
sovereignty and the individual rights in the age of revolutions. This political and
historical process shows an image of freedom as property of the modern subject
which is free because safe, autonomous and independent. In the second part, the
Author introduces a different imagine of freedom in accord with the arendtian
position of What is freedom? So political freedom can be sketched as an action,
a new beginning, an unexpected event; and thus, this different image of freedom
is showed as a possible way out from our age of crisis
Alla ricerca dell'utopia?
No full textThe Author traces the modern history of political concept of utopia from the publication of More’ Utopia. The historic-philosophical analysis shows that the opposition utopia vs realism and its transformations was (and still is now) central to develop the dialectic between reality and imagination, which is one of the axis of the western political Modernity. But, the epistemic and socio-political crisis of the XXth Century reveals the aporia and contradictions within this dialectic. However, in front of fear and angst ruling our present, the Author shows that a possible way out of our crisis could be in starting up again this dialectic along giving birth to new forms of our political coexistence
Rileggere la paura oggi. Volti e forme di una passione lungo i secoli
No full textFear is a passion that deeply characterizes the human nature and it has been a pivotal analytical topic of the Western Thought. The author, through the discussion of two recent books of Marco Filoni (Anatomia di un assedio, Milano 2019) and Martha Nussbaum (The monarchy of fear, It. trans. Bologna 2020) reflects on the political utilization of Fear in light of the actual transformations. Fear is considered crucial for understanding political modernity, while its reappearance in democratic societies is highly challenging and jeopardizes their capacity of cohesion and political order. By discussing the theoretical theses of Filoni and Nussbaum, the author points out the need to go beyond the politics of Fear by reactivating different political passions like Hope
La paura della secessione
No full textThe Author presents the theoretical framework of this «Governare lapaura»’ issue on the Fear of Secession. Starting from the recent cases of the Brexit and the Catalonian referendum, the main goal of this issue is reflecting on the relationship between the political crisis of unitary State and the revival of secession
Kinship and Phenotypic Divergence in the Ancient Population of the Puna Plateau of Northwestern Argentina
No full textThe Puna de Jujuy is a characteristic region of Northwest Argentina, and archaeological evidence shows remarkable development in this area during the period of Regional Development (PRD) or Late period. The aim of this paper is to study the genetic structure of the late population of the Puna de Jujuy (Argentina) using cranial metric traits. The sample comprised 302 adult individuals belonging to six different localities: Agua Caliente, Casabindo, Doncellas, Queta, Río Negro and Sorcuyo. The research included 27 cranial metric variables, a discriminant analysis and the calculation of Mahalanobis? D2 distance and the fixation or genetic divergence index. The results showed little phenotypic differentiation between six locations; 1% of the genetic variation explains the differences between groups, and the rest represents variations within the group. The sites of Queta and Sorcuyo have lower observed variance values than expected in the model of balance between genetic drift and gene flow, and Agua Caliente showed higher observed variance values than expected. The remaining sites showed values close to the ones expected in the model. The calculated distances suggest that the differentiation between localities is moderate. These results are compared to FST calculated for other local populations. A differential distribution of morphological variability between sites was observed. Agua Caliente, Casabindo, Doncellas and Río Negro showed higher morphological variability due to higher gene flow values, whereas Queta and Sorcuyo showed lower morphological variability.Fil: Fuchs, Maria Laura.
