    Dissertação (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

    This 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

    Tra socialdemocrazie e Perestrojka. Le relazioni internazionali del Pci attraverso le carte di Alessandro Natta

    No full text
    This 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, from the Alessandro Natta Fonds of the Historical Archive of the Chamber of Deputies. Natta’s papers are also cross-referenced with those kept in the PCI Archive at the Gramsci Foundation. The author analyses the relationship that the PCI establishes with Gorbachev’s Perestroika, Deng’s China, and European social democracies during the last years of the Cold War

    Using Ontology and Complex Event Processing Engine for Human Activity Recognition in Ambient Assisted Living domain

    As a result of the rising older people population, the Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) branch is growing up fast. Generally, the main goal of an AAL system is to help old people to live in their own houses longer and with an improved quality of life. In fact, its functionalities are based on the use of a set of different sensors interconnected by different types of communication systems to get information about the status of patients. The installed sensors network produce a set of data that shows a fine—grained nature, carrying generally their value, originating device, data type, timestamp and so on. For this reason, it is not always possible to have a clear overall view. Since it is often needed an analysis procedure which is able to take into account the semantic of records, ontologies are becoming widely used to describe the domain and to enrich the acquired data with its significance. In our research work, we propose a methodology arranged by two components integrated sequentially: an ontology [1] and a Complex Event Processing (CEP) [2] engine. The ontology has is built following a precise structure and it is able to describe the AAL domain, organize data according to their semantic meaning and select them (pre-processing phase). The main serious expressiveness limitation of OWL ontology is the lack of temporal reasoning, so in the framework it is introduced after ontology a CEP engine that is a technique concerned with timely detection of compound events within streams of simple events. Our challenge is to perform semantic queries on a data repository, whose records originate from a network of heterogeneous sources. The main goal of such queries is the pattern matching process, i.e. recognition of specific temporal sequences in fine—grained data. In our framework, benefits deriving from the implementation of a domain ontology are exploited i11 different levels of abstraction. Thereafter, reasoning techniques represent a pre—processing method that prepares data for the final temporal analysis. Our proposed approach will be applied to the ongoing AALISABETH [3], an Ambient Assisted Living project aimed to discover and manage the behavior of monitored users

    Study of the multiple melting in polymeric materials by EDXD-PT. DSC compared application to poly(ethylene-succinate)

    An alternative method to DSC, for revealing the thermal dissolution of the phases coexisting in a polymeric sample, is using se structure-sensitive probe, like X-ray diffraction. The problem with this is that it would be necessary to collect many diffraction patterns and to process them using theoretically calculated quantities. Instead, we used a method we developed, which simplifies the experimental procedure in studying phase transitions. It is based on the energy dispersive X-ray Diffraction and results in a curve that represents the evolution of the system under heating. In this paper, we present for the first time a comparison between these two techniques applied to a sample of poly(ethylene-succinate) which shows a multiple melting behavior when subjected to heating. The ability of EDXD applied to phase transitions (PT) to reproduce the complex melting behavior of PES causes one to think that a new tool for these kind of studies, completely independent of DCS, has been found. The potentialities and the merits of EDXD-PT are discussed together with its possible future developments
