Literatura, cinema e identidade em L'élégance du hérisson de Muriel Barbery e Le hérisson de Mona Achache
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Estudos da Tradução, Florianópolis, 2013No âmbito desta dissertação de Mestrado na área de Estudos da Tradução, interessamo-nos pelas relações entre literatura e cinema a partir de um corpus composto por duas obras contemporâneas em língua francesa, a saber, o romance L'élégance du hérisson (2006) de Muriel Barbery e o longa-metragem Le hérisson (2010) de Mona Achache. Valendo-nos nas ideias propostas por Linda Huctheon em Uma teoria da adaptação (2011), analisamos estratégias e escolhas adotadas pela cineasta na criação de uma obra cinematográfica que dialoga com o texto literário. Para tanto, privilegiamos o estudo de elementos como tempo, música e elipses. A fim de constatar em que medida o estudo de uma obra permite melhor compreender a outra, examinamos a função do paratexto (Genette, 2009) e do intertexto (Kristeva, 1974) no romance e no filme, além de nos interrogarmos sobre questões identitárias dos três protagonistas, bem como sobre suas relações de alteridade. Résumé: Muriel Barbery, et le film long-métrage Le hérisson (2010), de Mona Achache. Souscrivant aux idées proposées par Linda Hutcheon dans A Theory of adaptation (2006), nous analysons des stratégies et des choix adoptés par la réalisatrice dans la creátion d'une ?uvre cinématographique qui dialogue avec le texte littéraire. Pour ce faire, nous privilégions l'étude d?éléments comme le temps, la musique et les ellipses. Afin de constater dans quelle mesure l'étude de ces deux ?uvres permet un éclairage mutuel, nous nous penchons sur le fonctionnement du paratexte (Genette, 2009) et de l'intertextualité (Kristeva, 1974) dans le roman et dans le film, en plus de nous interroger sur des questions identitaires concernant les trois protagonistes, ainsi que sur leurs relations d'alterité
Unraveling the asymmetry of Mona Lisa smile
No full textThe Mona Lisa portrait, by Leonardo da Vinci, is one of the most famous paintings in the world. Over the years, there have been a number of debated topics on the painting, including the valence of the emotion expressed on her face. Nevertheless, the most recent interpretations agree that Mona Lisa expression is happiness. The smile asymmetry of Mona Lisa is another remarkable feature of the painting. We here asked forty-two healthy raters to judge which of the six basic emotions (or neutral expression) was expressed by the chimeric images of the left or right lower hemi face. We collected chosen responses, confidence levels and reaction times. Our results indicate that happiness is expressed only on the left side. According to some influent theories of emotion neuropsychology, we here interpreted the Mona Lisa asymmetric smile as a non-genuine smile, also thought to occur when the subject lies. Given that Leonardo was a great observer of human physiognomy we speculate on the intriguing possibility that Leonardo already knew the true meaning of asymmetric smile. Thus, Mona Lisa asymmetric smile could represent a stratagem Leonardo deliberately used to hold cryptic and enigmatic messages. Although the Mona Lisa smile continues to attract the attention of its observers, the true message it conveys remains elusive and many unsolved mysteries remain to be elucidated, perhaps via the knowledge of emotion neuropsychology
T cells orchestrate intestinal mucosal shape and integrity
No full textT helper 1-type immune reactions in the gut cause important human diseases, such as Crohn's disease and coeliac disease. Here, Tom MacDonald, Mona Elliott and Sylvia Pender suggest that the tissue injury in these diseases is mediated not by the immune cells, but by cytokine-induced changes in keratinocyte growth factor and matrix metalloproteinase production by resident gut myofibroblasts
