MacBeth as a MCDA Tool to Benchmark the Iberian Airports
No full textThis work relates to airports benchmarking which is a very important issue for stakeholders. Airports benchmarking depends on airport performance indicators which are also important issues for business and operational management, regulatory bodies, airlines and passengers. There are several sets of indicators to evaluate airports performance and also there are several techniques to benchmark airports. This work uses MacBeth - a MCDA (Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis) tool, to evaluate the attractiveness of the most important Iberian Airports. This approach is a new one and the preliminary results are very promising when compared with some traditional studies of airports benchmarking. Key words: Airports Benchmarking, MCDA/MacBeth, Iberian Airports
"Macbeth", un "fiasco" francese (ossia il problema d'esser fedeli a Shakespeare)

Towards a Differently Politicised Shostakovich:an Analytical, Hermeneutical and Feminist Exploration of the Opera Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District
No full textThis thesis provides a feminist interpretation of Shostakovich’s opera, Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District (1932) that draws on musical analysis – particularly of tonality – and explores cultural contexts – particularly the history of Soviet women – in order to do so. If Shostakovich scholarship has been dominated by overtly politicised readings hitherto, this study contributes to the broadening of research methods and areas through which we might examine these compositions – yet for its own, differently political ends. Similarly, it adds to that limited body of literature – in the field of Shostakovich specifically, yet also in musicology in general – that profitably combines both analytical and hermeneutical approaches.
Lady Macbeth is often held to be a ‘feminist’ opera: an assessment that is highly problematic. A conventional feminist musical analysis of the work reveals its fundamental tonal-dramatic narrative to tell a familiar story of the heroine Katerina’s struggle and subjugation; moreover, her final defeat is endorsed by aspects of the musical setting in a manner that is regressive. A richer contextual reading demonstrates that more is at stake here: Shostakovich’s opera is shown to embody a shift from experiment to thermidor that took place in the 1920s and 1930s in various cultural and social spheres, and its strategies of endorsement also work to celebrate a move to traditionalism with far-reaching historical implications. Yet several analytical and hermeneutical readings of short extracts from the piece uncover moments in which its monolithic and pessimistic message is complicated: a project in line with other recent feminist and critical musicological developments
'Macbeth' vissuto dai primi artefici: prospettive ancora attuali

No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro TecnologicoEste trabalho avalia políticas alternativas de gerenciamento de colheitadeiras de arroz em uma empresa produtora. Foi construído um modelo de avaliação que sob a perspectiva de apoio à decisão é estruturado e utilizado como base de apreciação de acordo com as preferências do decisor. No capítulo 1 é destacada a importância do aperfeiçoamento dos processos decisórios para a competitividade das empresas do setor. Também é discutido o contexto do problema e são ressaltados os aspectos que levam à necessidade da melhoria do manejo destes equipamentos. No capítulo 2 discute-se as problemáticas inerentes à atividade de apoio à decisão e faz-se uma breve discussão sobre as três convicções fundamentais subjacentes. Destas, é dada maior ênfase ao paradigma da aprendizagem pela participação no processo decisório, assunto do capítulo 3. Neste, também são apresentadas as origens desta convicção e a Soft Systems Methodology que a caracterizam. No capítulo 4 apresenta-se a construção do modelo através da abordagem por pontos de vista. A técnica MACBETH é utilizada para determinação das funções de valor cardinais e as taxas de substituição para os pontos de vista sobre os quais é feita a avaliação das alternativas. No capítulo 5, é procedida a agregação das avaliações seguida de uma análise de sensibilidade. Finalmente faz-se as conclusões e recomendações
Intersemiotic transcreation: the life and afterlife of Giuseppe Verdi's Macbeth.
No full textMacbeth was a nobleman, a king, a supporter of Christianity in Scotland, but most of all he was, and still is, the protagonist of countless adventures, told through music, singing, verse, prose, fiction, film. And translated into an infinite array of languages. The stories of Macbeth, all together and seen one at a time, embody the very essence of translation, in creative ways. This essay sets forth the notion of intersemiotic transcreation precisely with reference to the story of Macbeth, by reconstructing its evolution and by focusing especially on Giuseppe Verdi’s worldwide famous opera named after the Scottish king. A detailed analysis is also offered of two contemporary English versions of Giuseppe Verdi’s Macbeth, in an attempt to understand where translation finishes, if it does, and where intersemiotic transcreation starts. Both types of translation examined (interlingual surtitles and singing translation) recall processes of transmutation, change, (re)creation and transcreation, and bear witness to the creativity which goes hand in hand with writing and translating, over the centuries and across codes of communication
