La traduzione italiana di tenda dos milagres: uno sguardo agli aspetti religiosi
Get PDFDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2012A presente pesquisa se propõe analisar a tradução em italiano do romance de Jorge Amado Tenda dos milagres (2001 [1969]) (La bottega dei miracoli, 2006 [1978]) concentrando-se nos aspectos religiosos, transmitidos pelo léxico do candomblé. Parte-se da convicção de que a tradução de um texto literário para outra língua implica o movimento de levar um universo cultural para outro. De acordo com essa perspectiva, adota-se a visão de tradução cultural de Francis Henrik Aubert, que considera, obviamente, o aspecto linguístico dessa operação, mas também o aspecto extra-linguístico e destaca a importância que adquirem os marcadores culturais, que devem ser percebidos sempre no contexto em que aparecem, e constituem sinais de uma alteridade que deve ser apontada e respeitada, numa atitude e numa abordagem que remete ao "albergue do longínquo" de Antoine Berman. Tenda dos Milagres é um romance que contém inúmeros assuntos de interesse antropológico, social e cultural em sentido geral e, por isso, se estabeleceu uma comparação entre a tarefa do tradutor e a tarefa do antropólogo, ambos percebidos como mediadores culturais. A cultura, segundo Clifford Geertz, é um sistema de símbolos compartilhados por todos aqueles que contribuíram e contribuem para dar-lhe forma, sendo necessário portanto que o antropólogo e o tradutor se aproximem do ponto de vista do nativo que vive imerso num contexto muito bem definido culturalmente, embora ele não tenha consciência disso. Para poder dar conta dessa tarefa, o antropólogo e o tradutor deveriam ter conhecimento desse contexto. O romance escolhido foi, portanto, considerado exemplo de cultura como texto, de acordo com a abordagem proposta pela antropologia interpretativa, e o tradutor como tradutor de uma cultura, no presente caso, da cultura religiosa que permeia essa obra. As escolhas da tradutora Elena Grechi foram consideradas desse ponto de vista, buscando-se salientar, caso a caso, se elas possibilitam a compreensão do texto por parte do leitor italiano ou se, ao contrário, a impedem, e se, na pior das hipóteses, poderiam produzir uma tradução etnocêntrica. A partir das análises realizadas, a língua desse romance constitui um autêntico sincretismo linguístico - que não tem equivalente na língua de chegada -, assim como é sincrética a religião que ele narra e isso torna ainda mais complexa a operação da traduçãoAbstract : This dissertation is an analysis of the Italian translation of Jorge Amado's novel, Tenda dos Milagres (2001 [1969]) (La bottega dei miracoli, 2006 [1978]), focusing on its religious aspects as conveyed by the vocabulary of candomblé. The premise is that the translation of a literary text into another language involves moving a cultural universe. In support of this perspective Francis Henrik Aubert#s view of cultural translation is opted, which takes both the linguistic and the extralinguistic aspects of the process into consideration, focusing on the importance of cultural markers, which should always be perceived in relation to the context in which they appear, and which constitute signs of an otherness which should be noted and respected in an attitude and an approach that refers to Antoine Berman's "auberge du lointain". Tenda dos Milagres is a novel which contains innumerable topics of anthropological, social and cultural interest; for this reason the study establishes a comparison between the task of the translator and that of the anthropologist: both of whom are perceived as cultural mediators. According to Clifford Geertz, culture is a system of symbols shared by all those who have given and continue to give shape to it, making it necessary for the anthropologist and the translator to come as close as possible to the point of view of the native, who is immersed in a well-defined cultural context even if he/she is unaware of the fact. In order to do this the anthropologist and translator alike should have a full understanding of this context. The novel under scrutiny is considered to be an example of culture as text, in accordance with the interpretative anthropological approach, and the translator is viewed as the translator of a culture, in this case the religious culture that permeates the text. The choices made by the translator, Elena Grechi, have been analysed from this perspective, in an attempt to ascertain whether they assist or hinder the understanding of an Italian reader, or whether they result in an ethnocentric translation. According to our analysis the language used in the novel constitutes a genuine linguistic syncretism - , which has no equivalent in the target language -, just as the religion described in the novel is itself syncretic, which makes the translation process much more comple

Covid-19 lightening the load factor in railway transport: Performance analysis in the north-west area of Milan
No full textCovid-19 has strongly influenced the mobility of people in several ways and the limitations of mobility in Europe and Italy have conditioned the flows of workers and travelers. Railways, which are one key transport sector, had a clear decrease in passengers all over the world. The analysis, based on six Lombard/Piedmont lines (North-West of Italy), was carried out in the periods immediately preceding and following the lockdown, in which it was possible to move without draconian restrictions, and with mostly regular railway traffic, but at the same time, the number of commuters and occasional travelers was reduced by 40–60%. Using official data from Trenitalia and Trenord, the role of load factor in the railway performance is analyzed, to verify the impact of a substantial reduction in passenger numbers on the overall performance of six railway lines with a special focus on peak hours. The results obtained are not univocal and provide interesting indications, in fact, for some lines, there is an improvement in performance while for others there are no statistically significant differences with the previous year that means a similar performance, which is a starting point for future developments of the work at the national or regional level
Sustainability in passenger transport: the relevance of punctuality in rail and modal choice in commuting
Get PDFThe overall purpose of this PhD research is the analysis of the sustainable passenger mobility, both on long and short-distance trips. Mobility plays a central role in the social system and it is a key driving force for socio-economic, global and local development, but it produces also negative externalities on the territory. The thesis has the aim to explain the main elements of sustainable mobility from a theoretical point of view and, successively, to apply these concepts to two empirical cases with the use of Italian real data. These empirical analyses can help in underling the importance of sustainable mobility and of the efforts to improve it, influencing the transport modal choices of the commuter journeys. The first case regards the most sustainable mode of transport for medium-long distance trips, the train, and particularly the problem of delay that strongly affects the performance of the train, influencing the modal choices of commuters. The analysis is based on data collected in the period 2013-2016 on the railway line from Milano to Genoa. The second case concerns medium-short trips, focusing on the issue of home-work commuting of a medium Italian university located in two different cities (Varese and Como) in the north of Italy. The data come from a survey performed in November 2017. Finally, the last chapter draws some conclusions and mentions some upcoming evolutions of mobility that could give a strong contribution in achieving sustainability
Evaluation of Railway Systems: A Network Approach
Get PDFResilience and the efficiency of transportation systems are crucial for the economic development of geographical areas, and network analysis applied to railways can provide insight into the importance of branch lines and their impacts on the entire system. This paper explores the behavior of the ERC measure, a local robustness measure, on the railway network in Lombardy, Italy, and analyzes the impacts of deactivating stations or journeys on the network’s robustness. Changes in the topological properties of the network were studied by simulating potential external disturbances and analyzing the impact of deleting the most connected stations or railway lines. The numerical results show how the measures provided effectively identify critical stations and journeys within the network structure and outperform classical topological metrics. Since ERC measures take into account all of the alternative paths present in the network, they can provide valuable information for rerouting traffic along alternative paths in case of failures or disruptions. The paper’s original contribution lies in demonstrating the effectiveness of the ERC measure in identifying critical stations and journeys within the network structure
Analisi dei ritardi e delle prestazioni della linea Como Lago - Saronno - Milano Cadorna
No full textIl pendolarismo ferroviario è centrale per la mobilità e lo sviluppo economico delle aree
metropolitane, in quanto permette agli individui di accedere a opportunità di lavoro e studio. È un
elemento chiave per la connettività e la vitalità di queste regioni ed è alla base dello lo spostamento
giornaliero di milioni di persone. Questo studio esamina la situazione dei ritardi e delle prestazioni della
linea ferroviaria che collega Como Lago, Saronno e Milano Cadorna, in Lombardia. Il focus è basato
sull’effettivo orario di arrivo del treno a destinazione, valutando gli aspetti critici della linea, passando
per le problematiche emerse sulla rete ferroviaria della Regione Lombardia. La performance delle corse
è influenzata per la presenza di tratti a binario unico e da numerosi passaggi a livello, che incidono
sulle prestazioni in entrambe le direzioni. Nel lavoro si cerca di analizzare il fenomeno da un punto di
vista descrittivo ed inferenziale, cercando di valutare l’andamento in un’ottica intertemporale,
basandosi su due mesi comparabili nel corso dell’anno 2024, avendo cura di analizzare le corse in
entrambe le direzioni e con un focus finale sulle fasce pendolari, dove il numero di passeggeri è
maggiore. I risultati di questa analisi possono essere utilizzati per guidare interventi mirati, volti a
ottimizzare l'operatività della linea e a migliorare l'esperienza quotidiana dei pendolari che utilizzano
questa linea ferroviaria
Introducing Age.Vol.A: digital tools to promote communication between seniors, foreign caregivers and families
No full textThis presentation introduces Age.Vol.A.– Ageing, Volunteers, Assistants. Multilingual tools for
Assisting the Ageing, a research project on ageing issues focusing on the demographic and social
situation of Varese, an 80,000-inhabitant city in North-West Italy, with 13% of its population over 65
and foreigners representing over 8% of the province’s population, a significant proportion of whom
is employed as caregivers to assist elderly people at home. Age.Vol.A. starts from the assumption
that, between home-assisted Italian seniors and their non-Italian caregivers, there exists a linguistic
and cultural barrier as well as a digital divide, which tends to increase the physical and social
isolation of the elderly population (Russo et al., 2019; Vicentini & Grego, 2019; Vicentini et al.,
2020).
The paper intends to offer an overview of the output of this research project, i.e. a multilingual
website and a multilingual smartphone application aimed at providing the foreign caregivers with
terminology and practical information related to their assisted and the institutions aimed to assist
those who assist the elderly, from health and healthcare to administrative issues. The terminology is
divided into three macro areas – health, institutions, daily life – with secondary fields according to
various communicative situations. The concept of the digital tools rests on the notions of
translanguaging in migrant communities (Canagarajah, 2013; Hafner & Jones, 2015; Schreiber,
2015) as a means to deploy communication practices which digital tools can support through
adaptive moves through linguistic, textual, and audiovisual media.

Il ruolo della biblioteca pubblica nella Provincia di Varese: un’analisi quantitativa dei principali indicatori e dei comportamenti degli utenti
No full textIl ruolo delle biblioteche è estremamente diversificato e va oltre il
semplice prestito di libri, abbracciando una funzione educativa e
culturale fondamentale. Esse offrono una vasta gamma di risorse,
sia fisiche che elettroniche, che svolgono un ruolo cruciale nella
promozione dell'alfabetizzazione, nell'incoraggiare l'apprendimento
continuo e anche nel favorire la coesione sociale. Questi
spazi sono concepiti come luoghi inclusivi che possono anche
accogliere il pensiero e la partecipazione della comunità attraverso
eventi culturali e ricreativi. Nel contesto di questo lavoro, dopo
aver effettuato una breve analisi della letteratura associata
all’ambito delle biblioteche, esaminando le loro peculiarità e
funzioni, si procede nell’analisi approfondita dei principali
indicatori di funzionamento che caratterizzano il sistema,
fornendo una panoramica mirata sull’impatto all’interno della
società in uno specifico territorio in un certo periodo storico.
Infatti, è importante sottolineare, che l'indagine si concentra
specificamente sulla provincia di Varese, valutando un distinto
territorio con il suo sistema infrastrutturale e socioeconomico.
Infine, la seconda parte del paper si concentra sulla prospettiva
dell'utente, esaminando i servizi offerti dalle biblioteche e le
prospettive future del servizio. Questa analisi mira a comprendere
come le biblioteche soddisfano le esigenze degli utenti e come
possono evolversi per continuare a essere risorse vitali per la
comunità
The European Tourism Industry in Crisis : a Stock Market Perspective
Get PDFThis article aims to evaluate the market performance of the European tourism industry from 2004 to 2014, a period that includes the financial and economic crises, to highlight which macroeconomic factors influenced the industry stock returns. The Stoxx Europe 600 Travel & Leisure price index is used to proxy the industry stock performance, and a multifactor market model is employed to individuate which macroeconomic variables are able to drive tourism stock performance. Results highlight that tourism stock performance is influenced by market conditions and by uncertainty, measured through the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility index (VIX). Despite the importance of tourism in Europe and its contribution to the economic growth, there is scant evidence on the performance of this industry in this area and on its relationship with economic conditions. The article, to the best of knowledge, represents the first contribution on the performance of European tourism industry in crisis years with a macroeconomic perspective
