    Translations masquées. Le déguisement dans "Vengeance du traducteur" de Brice Matthieussent

    La mise à mort de l’auteur, dans Vengeance du traducteur (2009) de Brice Matthieussent, prend la forme d’un livre-objet où les notes en bas de page de celui qui devrait être un simple passeur linguistique prennent la place du texte original. Mais, dans ce roman mettant en scène une esthétique de la traduction en tant que réécriture, on assiste aussi et surtout à des superpositions entre les potentialités de la création et de la réflexion critique, ce que la portée traductologique de la trame exhibe d’une façon évidente. Dans un jeu compliqué de dissimulation et révélation, la présence de travestissements joue un rôle qui est loin d’être négligeable : tout d’abord, le personnage du traducteur américain David Gray « se prend parfois pour Zorro le vengeur masqué » et « se déguise aussi en ce personnage énigmatique que l’on voit dans certaines étiquettes de bouteilles de porto ». D’autre part, le personnage de l’auteur français Abel Prote se livre à de « petites polissonneries costumées » avec sa secrétaire particulière Doris Night qui, quant à elle, revêt à la fin du roman un masque d’oiseau la rendant, par « artifice concerté », interchangeable à une femme morte et capable de modifier « la traduction du texte vers la vie ». La valeur symbolique du masque, objet énigmatique qui permet une transformation temporaire et réversible, est diffractée et mène à une dissolution des frontières entre œuvre originale et traduction, mais aussi entre création littéraire et vie réelle. C’est dans un labyrinthe identitaire et herméneutique que Brice Matthieussent conduit son lecteur grâce à un texte multipliant les mises en abyme et les emboîtements narratifs

    Variations on the Author

    “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

    Quantum confinement and light trapping effects in nanoporous Ge

    Semiconductors containing nanopores have gained a renewed interest as they are able to adsorb and interact with atoms and molecules and can thus be used in several interesting and emerging applications. Ge film and bulk samples, self-implanted with Ge+ ions, have shown to have a sponge-like nanoporous structure [1], as shown in fig.1. Possible applications of porous semiconductors include various novel sensors, solar cells, optoelectronic devices; they can be used for catalysis, biological molecular isolation and purification or electrodes for micro-fuel cells [2 and reference therein]. Optoelectronic characterization of the layers are carried out by Surface Photovoltage (SPV) Spectroscopy, a powerful technique which allows for obtaining detailed information on material optical properties, such as electronic transitions at gap states, and band to band transitions [2,3]. In addition, structural and microscopic analyses have been carried out in order to identify amorphous or crystalline phases and the average size of the nano- pores. Different nanoporous (np) structures have been investigated: crystalline and amorphous np-Ge obtained by implantation of bulk Ge, as well as crystalline and amorphous np-Ge obtained by ion implantation of Ge film grown on Si substrates by molecular beam epitaxy and sputtering. The effect of Au nanoparticles embedded within the nanoporous structure has been also investigated. Changes in the SPV spectra as a function of ion implantation fluence and annealing treatments have been found and discussed on the basis of the structural properties of the samples [4]. A significant enhancement of the SPV signal in np-Ge samples decorated with Au nanoparticles has been shown, and related to enhanced light trapping effects. SPV spectra of np-Ge thin films show the main peak, which corresponds to band-to-band transitions, significantly blue shifted with respect to the same peak in bulk np-Ge (fig.2). This result has been assigned to a quantum confinement effect occurring at Ge nano- walls separating the nanopores. In addition, a strong enhancement of the SPV signal has been observed due to light confinement effects. Quantum confinement and light trapping effects demonstrated in nanoporous Ge film deposited on Si substrate can be of major interest for future photovoltaic applications of thin film solar cells.

    L’autrice che si colloca, come Daniela Zorzi, tra i fautori di una linguistica “impegnata”, propone in ricordo della studiosa amica, una riflessione sul ruolo cruciale del multilinguismo e delle lingue- culture, per il successo professionale e il benessere sociale, nella società contemporanea. Il multilinguismo appare come un’urgenza educativa che interpella studiosi e formatori a tutti i livelli al fine di promuovere nei giovani un apprendimento consapevole efficace ed autonomo.Multilingualism constitutes an urgent objective for education, which needs to involve teachers and researchers at all levels if we are to promote effective and autonomous learning in the young. Like Daniela Zorzi, the author considers herself a socially engaged linguist, and in memory of her friend’s work, offers a reflection on the key roles of languages and cultures and of multilingualism for professional success and social welfare today

    Nanopore formation induced by ion-implantation in Ge: optical properties

    Self-ion implantation on bulk Ge induces the formation of nanopores, and their growth, structure and transport properties have been recently reported [1]. Semiconductors containing nanopores have gained a renewed interest as they are able to adsorb and interact with atoms and molecules and can thus be used in several interesting and emerging applications. In this contribution we report on the influence of ion implantation and subsequent nanopore formation on optoelectronic properties of Ge samples. The analyses are carried out by Surface Photovoltage (SPV) Spectroscopy, a powerful technique to get detailed information on material optical properties [2]. Different nanoporous (np) structures have been investigated: crystalline and amorphous np-Ge obtained by implantation of bulk Ge, as well as crystalline and amorphous np-Ge obtained by ion implantation of Ge film grown on Si substrates by molecular beam epitaxy and sputtering. Changes in the SPV spectra as a function of ion implantation fluence and annealing treatments are discussed on the basis of the structural properties of the samples. Quantum confinement effects in nanoporous Ge film have been demonstrated, while a significant SPV enhancement in np-Ge samples decorated with Au nanoparticles has been shown. These results can be of major interest for future photovoltaic applications of thin film solar cells. G Impellizzeri et al Nanotechn 23, 395604 (2012) L Kronik and Y.

    Reclamações ambientais em Aveiro, Portugal: atores, preocupações, padrão territorial e resoluções

    No full text
    This paper presents an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints on environmental issues submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between 2000 and 2005. It discusses the potential influences of these in local environmental planning and governance. The paper has been organised into five sections. The first of these introduces the study. The second section focuses on the conceptual approaches relating to environmental grassroots movements, the main actors involved in these movements and the role played by local government. It also contains a brief review of the most recent urban environmental quality challenges in the European context together with a description of the main features of the associated political and legal framework in Portugal. The third section describes the case study and the methodology used. The results of the empirical study are detailed in the fourth section. The final section critically analyses these results with emphases on the temporal evolution of the submission of complaints, the actors involved, the local environmental problems and their associated spatial pattern as well as the responses given by the City Council. This information may then be used to provide a useful indicator for the perception of environmental quality as well as a credible instrument for the visualisation and evaluation of local performance in terms of environmental planning and management.AlBan Programme - n.
