The Author/Translator Interactional Process. A Case Study
No full textSee Naples and Kill (1988) is a lively and colourful novel by the con-temporary English writer, Gregory Dowling, translated into Italian in 2015.
Following the tradition of translation studies (Venuti 2000, Bass-nett 2002, Cronin 2006), this paper analyses the rewriting process of literary translation, considering in particular the fruitful but sometimes tense and even conflictual relationship between writer and translator.
The translation of the novel See Naples and Kill was an ongoing rewriting process entailing a constant dialogue between the writer and the translator. Therefore, the study aims at answering two main ques-tions: what happens if the rewriting process of translation is constant-ly questioned by the author? What happens if the author has a good mastery of the target language and s/he is her/himself a translator?
By exploring the relationship between translation and re-creation, the research focuses on the differences and similarities between the primary creation (source text) and the secondary creation (target text), and aims to verify in which way the dialogic encounter of two different personalities and cultures does not make them merge but, by retaining their own uniqueness, leads eventually to their mutually en-riching each other. A comparative analysis of the source text and the different drafts of the translated version accompanied by the author’s comments will shed light on the tense author-translator relationship in the specific case under investigation and how both actors handle this tension in order to create a new work resulting from the (dis)agreement of the two parties
Warburg e de Martino e l’idea di Atlante della memoria iconica della civiltà occidentale: appunti per una ricerca
No full textNel lavoro dei due pensatori, de Martino e Warburg, i cui itinerari di ricerca e di vita si sono realizzati in momenti di grande cambiamento della storia globale, ci sono alcuni tratti paralleli: la libertà di entrambi nell’attingere a molti saperi disciplinari, facendoli interferire;la domanda esistenziale profonda che spinge entrambi a sondare i confini degli ambiti delle discipline in cui si muovono, tanto da essere stati poi visti come fondatori o precursori di nuovi specialismi (l’iconologia per Warburg e l’antropologia visuale per de Martino), e che portano entrambi a indagare la crisi, la malattia e la guarigione, l’esperienza della metamorfosi, lo spazio tra apollineo e Dionisiaco; la sensibilità comune a entrambi a sentire la storia come un cortocircuito tra passato e presente, cercando le interferenze tra momenti diversi della vita dell’umanità, delle società, degli individui. L’atlante é termine e strumento che utilizzano sia de Martino che Warburg, e ne realizzano entrambi uno, sia come strumento di ricerca che di comunicazione. Viene sviluppato un confronto per sondare possibili vicinanze e distanze tra l’atlante di Warburg e quello di de Martino, accostando gli stessi sotto alcuni punti di comparazione

SS. Martino e Silvestro ai Monti
Full text linkVon SS. Martino e Silvestro ai Monti sind insbesondere der spätantike Raum des titulus Equitii sowie die barocke Ausstattung der Klosterkirche bekannt. Die heutige Kirche geht im Wesentlichen auf einen Neubau im 9. Jahrhundert zurück. Hochmittelalterliche Baumaßnahmen sind nur im Umbau des Konvents zu einer Kardinalsresidenz und eventuell im Bau eines Campanile fassbar, während die hochmittelalterliche Ausstattung der Kirche auf wenige Änderungen der liturgischen Einrichtung und eine Neufassung des Langhauses beschränkt blieb
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
On the ontological commitment of mereology
Full text linkIn Parts of Classes [1991] David Lewis argues that, like logic, but unlike set theory, mereology is “ontologically innocent”. Prima facie, Lewis’ innocence thesis seems to be ambiguous. On one side, he seems to argue that, given certain objects Xs, referring to their sum is ontologically innocent because there is not a new entity as referent of the expression “the sum of the Xs”. So, talking of the sum of the Xs would simply be a different way of talking of the Xs, looking at them as a whole. However, on the other side, Lewis’ innocence is not understood as a mere linguistic use, where sums are not reified. He himself claims that the innocence of mereology is different from that of plural reference, where the reference to some objects does not require the existence of a single entity picking up them in a whole. In the case of plural quantification “we have many things, in no way do we mention one thing that is the many taken together”. Instead, in the mereological case: “we have many things, we do mention one thing that is the many taken together, but this one thing is nothing different from the many” ([1], 87). But, due to the fact that Lewis explicitly uses sums as outright objects, we think that Lewis’ innocence thesis cannot be understood but in the sense that, even if the sum of the Xs is a well determined object, distinct from the Xs, the existence of such an object is to be necessarily accepted from whom which has already accepted the existence of the Xs. In other words, committing oneself to the existence of the Xs would be an implicit commitment to some other entities and – among them – the sum of the Xs. On the other hand, the existence of the set of the Xs would not be implicitly guaranteed by the existence of the Xs.
The aim of the paper is to argue that – for a certain use of mereology, weaker than Lewis’ one – an innocence thesis similar to that of plural reference is defendable. In order to give a definite account of plural reference, we use the idea of a plural choice. Then, we propose a virtual theory of mereology, where the role of individuals is played by plural choices of atoms. A choice is not an authentic object, its existence is merely potential and it consists in the act of performing it. Accordingly, in order to interpret a formal first order mereological language, as Goodman calculus of individuals (CG), we introduce a potential semantic of plural choices. We argue that our development of virtual mereology, grounded on the notion of plural choice, is ontologically innocent in a way completely analogous to that of plural reference: our claim is that mereological sums – unlike atoms – are not real objects. Referring to a sum of atoms is nothing but a way of referring to certain atoms. Our approach is adequate to interpret a first order mereological language. It is inadequate for Lewis’ mereology, because his plural quantification on all objects is incompatible with our notion of plural choice, where just atoms are capable of being chosen
