The (im)possibilities of teaching-learning freedom
No full textTwenty-one years after a free and democratic South Africa was constituted, it seems as if South Africans are still in limbo. In this article, the author explores the essence of freedom as conceptualised by Arendt (1958, 1966, 1900, 2006) and the (im)possibilities of teaching-learning freedom towards continual new beginnings. Freedom and new beginnings are actualised when humans speak and act in equal difference. The possibilities of teaching-learning freedom rely on the acknowledgement of both the burden and the power of freedom and in unexpected acts of compassion and forgiveness in the teacher:child relationship (Becker 2013, 26). Using a phenomenological approach, the author explores qualitative data from the research project Human rights literacy: A quest for meaning (Roux 2012) to explore the (im)possibilities of teaching-learning freedom
Uma análise do humor irônico em duas traduções brasileiras de Jakob Der Lügner de Jurek Becker
No full textDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em Estudos da TraduçãoO objetivo desta dissertação é analisar a tradução do humor irônico em duas versões brasileiras do primeiro romance do escritor de origem judaico-alemã, Jurek Becker (1982). A teoria que embasa a nossa análise é a metodologia desenvolvida por Katharina Reiß na Alemanha (1971), mediante a qual a autora visava a uma crítica de tradução mais objetiva, que contemplasse a especificidade do texto traduzido. A presente pesquisa analisa a qualidade dos equivalentes propostos por dois tradutores no translado do humor irônico em torno do elemento de enredo, um fabuloso rádio, com o qual o personagem central da narrativa Jakob der Lügner espalha sinais de esperança em um gueto judeu. Para avaliar a qualidade dos equivalentes propostos, a pesquisa emprega a categoria lingüística e a categoria pragmática da crítica de tradução da abordagem de Reiß e seu conceito central, a equivalência. The aim of the present thesis is to analyse the translation of ironic humour in two Brazilian translations of the first novel of the German Jewish writer Jurek Becker (1982). The theoretical background for our analysis is the methodology developed by Katharina Reiß in Germany (1971), which aims at objective translation criticism that takes into account the specificity of a tranlated text. The present research analyses the quality of the equivalents proposed by two translators with respect to the ironic humour surrounding an element of the narrative, a fabulous radio, through which the main character of Jakob der Lügner (Jacob, the Liar) brings a flash of hope in a Jewish ghetto. To assess the quality of the equivalents proposed, the research employs the linguistic and the pragmatic categories of Reiß translation criticism and its central concept, the equivalence

Biomass for energy production in the context of selected European and international policy objectives
No full textBiomass based energy production has attained a significant market share within the developing renewable energy market. In comparison to alternative renewable energy sources, biomass has several special features: it is not inexhaustible in the short term (limitation of arable land) and it is not only an energy source. Other usages like food or feed compete with energy production for this resource. A number of problems arise which have a direct impact on the fulfillment of policy objectives which are connected with its promotion. Primarily, the production of bioenergy has significant impacts on coupled biomass markets. Further, a change in production intensity or arable land use increases the use of nutrient loads and agro - chemicals. When evaluating renewable energy production, the wide range of political objectives has to be considered. Therefore, the focus of the overall study will be on three objective areas: promotion of the agricultural sector, environmental protection (reduction of GHG emissions) and maintenance of food supply security. The objective of this study is to combine an analysis of selected economic and ecological impacts of an increased biomass based energy production (primarily biofuels) under the assumption of European and international quantity targets by adjusting and applying the agricultural sector model CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regional Impact Analysis). This poster intends to display the methodical approach of the intended analysis.Bioenergy, Biofuels, Biomass production, Impact analysis., Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,
