No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013.Com a intenção de delinear o modo pelo qual o escritor italiano Alessandro Baricco se inseriu no sistema literário brasileiro e os caminhos percorridos pelos seus livros traduzidos, esta dissertação dá voz às experiências tradutórias de seus tradutores. A inserção de Bariccono Brasil tem seu início em 1997, através de uma proposição da Profa. Dra. Roberta Barni à editora Iluminuras da tradução de Oceano Mare. A partir daí, outras sete obras foram publicadas no Brasil, sendo três delas traduzidas por Roberta Barni e as outras quatro por quatro tradutores diferentes. De um lado, considera-se o tradutor como figura principal namediação entre culturas, e, de outro, se analisa a realidade desta figuradentro do sistema literário, sua invisibilidade, seus limites e o exercíciode sua profissão. A pesquisa conta, ainda, com críticas e resenhas referentes ao autor italiano publicadas em jornais consagrados no Brasil, considerando estas como parte constituinte da imagem de Baricco refletida em território nacional. Abstract : Intending to delineate the way the Italian writer Alessandro Baricco has been inserted in the Brazilian literary system and the paths his translated books have followed, this thesis gives voice to the translating experiences of his translators. Baricco's insertion in Brazil began in 1997, through a personal project of Dr. Roberta Barni, with her translation of Oceano Mare. Since then, seven other of his works have been published in Brazil, three of which were translated by Roberta Barni and the other four by four different translators. On the one hand,the translator is considered as the main figure in mediation betweencultures and, on the other, this figure's reality is analyzed within theliterary system: its invisibility, its limits and its professional practice. Criticisms and reviews of this Italian author published in well established Brazilian newspapers are also considered, with the understanding that they are part of Baricco's image reflected here

La maturità di Alessandro Fei del Barbiere, in bilico tra Maniera e Riforma
No full textThis article studies the mature career of the Florentine painter Alessandro Fei del Barbiere (1537-1592), beginning with the rediscovery of the 'Ascension' altarpiece formerly in the Albizi Chapel in the destroyed church of San Pier Maggiore, Florence. Studying this painting and others recorded in 1584 by the biographer Raffaello Borghini, such as the two altarpieces for Santa Maria delle Grazie and the Madonna dell'Umiltà in Pistoia, the author reconstructs a body of works showing how in the 1580s Fei gradually went beyond the archaic style of his apprenticeship - he had been trained by Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio and Pierfrancesco Foschi, but was also marked by the Maniera of Vasari - evolving towards naturalism in both mimesis and pictorial handling. In Florence, his development partly parallels that of Santi di Tito and his circle, but Fei was also influenced by a probable sojourn during the early part of that decade in Rome, where he could have been inspired by Girolamo Muziano and the painters working for Pope Gregory XIII. Among other proposals, the author suggests that the artist was responsible for decorating the chancel of Fiesole Cathedral (c. 1584-1589), which consisted of an altarpiece, only rarely discussed by scholars, and a cycle of frescoes hitherto attributed to Nicodemo Ferrucci
Integrated Study for the Shelf-life Evaluation in Food: Use of Spices, Herbs, and Bio-packaging
No full textIn recent years, food industries have implemented their core strategies based on sustainability issues. To satisfy consumers’ requirements concerning the quality and safety of foodstuffs, food industries focused on the possibility of using spices and herbs as natural additives to extend the product shelf-life. Indeed, to better preserve food quality and safety, thus reducing environmental impacts on natural resources, innovative and/or functional packaging technologies have been developed. Hence, among primary food packaging, scientific research focused on the possibility of implementing the use of bio-packaging to both prolong shelf-life and reduce the "harmful" effects on terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Through an overview of the scientific literature, this study was aimed at evaluating the application of spices, herbs, and bio-packaging as novel preservation techniques, to extend the shelf-life of food, thus offering an "eco-friendly" solution. The application of these studies on the use of spices, herbs, and bio-packaging could represent new solutions for food preservation, also reducing the economic, environmental, and social impact
Depression-like behavior and response to chronic stress in mice lacking brain serotonin
No full textDuring their lives, virtually all living organisms have to face disturbing forces that upset their homeostasis. These forces, called stressors, trigger a stress response, an innate adaptive response whose task is restoring normal balance of the organism, essential for survival. In vertebrates the brain is central in the adaptation to stress, both in the perception of the stressors and in the organization of the stress response. However, due to a combination of genetic factors and environmental agents, not always a stress response is able to face the stressors, and a maladaptive stress response further destabilizes animal homeostasis, generating stress-related neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety. Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) is a neurotransmitter that has a central role in normal brain function modulating several physiological processes including mood regulation and emotional behavior, and it has been implicated both in an adaptive and maladaptive stress response. Indeed, several polymorphisms identified in genes involved in serotonin signaling are associated with neuropsychiatric diseases such as depression and anxiety. Moreover, according to the monoamine hypothesis of depression, a reduction of serotonin signaling could be one of the major causes. Current antidepressants act on serotonergic signaling, elevating 5-HT concentration in the synaptic cleft, and showing therapeutic effects 2 to 4 weeks after administration, with a considerable number of patients resistant to the treatment. Therefore, the precise role of serotonin in the modulation of emotional behavior in health and disease needs to be further elucidated. We used a Tph2 knock-out mouse model to evaluate the consequences of brain serotonin depletion on the emotional behavior testing adult animals for behavioral despair. Tph2 mutant mice displayed reduced depression-like behaviors in the forced swim test, in the tail suspension test, as well as in the novelty food suppressed test. We then asked how exposure to Unpredictable Chronic Mild Stress (UCMS), an effective paradigm for inducing depression-like symptoms in rodents, could influence the behavior of animals lacking brain serotonin. Results showed that UCMS induces depressive-like behavior in the forced swim test in both Tph2 -/- and control littermates with a greater increase in immobility between non-stressed and stressed mutant mice than between non-stressed and stressed wt animals. Finally, we are currently treating stressed Tph2 -/- mice with ketamine, a NMDA-R antagonist with rapid and effective antidepressant action, in order to asses if 5-HT is required for its therapeutic effect
Tra socialdemocrazie e Perestrojka. Le relazioni internazionali del Pci attraverso le carte di Alessandro Natta
No full textThis essay reconstructs the foreign policy of the Italian Communist Party during the four
years of Alessandro Natta’s secretariat (1984-1988) through largely original archival documentation,

"Muy señor nuestro Alessandro Varaldo". La ricognizione del mondo spagnolo e portoghese per riscoprire un autore italiano di successo ma dimenticato
No full textWho is Alessandro Varaldo (1876-1953)? This first analysis about what was said, adapted and translated of Varaldo’s work in the Iberian Peninsula and South America, maybe the only areas outside Italy where some traces of Italian author can be found, is a chance to go along his literary paths that overtook two temporal barriers (1900 and 1950), although it has not overtaken the oblivion’s threshold.Questa è una prima ricognizione di ciò che è stato detto, adattato e tradotto di Alessandro Varaldo (1876-1953) nella Penisola iberica e in Sud America, che si sospetta siano gli unici territori stranieri dove si riesca a ritracciare qualcosa dell’autore italiano, ed è un’occasione per ripercorrerne la traiettoria letteraria che ha superato due transenne temporali come il 1900 e il 1950 ma non quella della dimenticanza
