La presenza della madre morta nell’opera letteraria di Erri De Luca
No full textThe Presence of the Dead Mother in Erri De Luca’s Literary Work
The present article looks at Erri De Luca’s literary work from the perspective of André Green’s metaphorical concept of the dead mother. According to Green, the dead mother refers to a living mother who is physically present, but seems dead to her child, after having transformed from a loving figure into an emotionally absent, cold, and seemingly inanimate one. First, the article analyses the discrete textual presence of the phantom of the author’s dead sister at childbirth. A superposition of texts from different genres reveals the rivalry between the phantom of the dead sister and the author/his first-person narrators. Second, the article studies the destructive potential of the mother’s voice. Focusing on the tactile sense, it shows how the mother, rather than protecting her child, actually transmits onto him or her, the physical pain suffered by other Neapolitan children at the hands of their violent fathers. Finally, the paper explores the significance of the mother’s real death within the diegesis in terms of a literary murder
Elision and hiding in writing Erri de Luca: strategies of concealment, a Spanish translation of Tre Cavalli
No full textEl objetivo de este trabajo es proponer una nueva traducción al español de la novela Tre Cavalli, del escritor italiano Erri De Luca (Nápoles, 1950). Para llevar a cabo la traducción de esta novela italiana, en primer lugar se delineará la figura del escritor Erri De Luca, con unas noticias sobre su biografía y las obras publicadas en italiano, luego se centrará la atención en Tre Cavalli. Será fundamental, en relación a este extremo, conocer el argumento de la novela y la estructura general del texto, dos elementos funcionales al proceso de traducción.
El trasfondo histórico en el que se enmarca Tre Cavalli es la dictadura militar argentina del Proceso de Reorganización Nacional (1976-1983). Por la especial estructura narrativa de la novela, que nunca revela claramente el período histórico al que se refiere, será necesario proporcionar informaciones sobre las causas y las consecuencias de los acontecimientos que caracterizaron esa época argentina y así explicitar el contexto de la novela.
En este trabajo se quiere también analizar el caso editorial de Tres caballos, traducción española de la novela italiana publicada en 2002 por la editorial Akal y descatalogada por la editorial misma en poco tiempo. Por lo tanto, se presentará una investigación sobre la recepción de Erri De Luca en España como autor de novelas y un análisis del caso de descatalogación de Tres caballos, avanzando hipótesis basadas en la teoría de la estética de la recepción de Robert Hans Jauss (1921-1977). Después de haber recogido las informaciones necesarias sobre los elementos extra – textuales de la novela, para la nueva traducción al español será necesario también identificar las peculiaridades del texto que pueden representar ‘problemas’ de traducción a la hora de la creación del texto de llegada, analizando los rasgos textuales más especiales, con un enfoque profundizado en la técnica narrativa de la elisión. Se tratará de una propuesta de traducción que se fija como objetivo principal prestar el mayor respeto a la identidad del texto, a sus peculiaridades a las de su autor y, al mismo tiempo, anular las barreras de las diferencias idiomáticas y culturales para alcanzar la difícil síntesis entre la materia original el contenido de la obra y su mejor recreación en la lengua de llegada.The aim of this paper is to propose a new Spanish translation of the novel Tre Cavalli, the Italian writer Erri De Luca (Naples, 1950). To carry out the Italian translation of this novel, first figure of the writer Erri De Luca will outline, with news about his biography and works published in Italian, then attention will focus on Tre Cavalli. It will be essential, in relation to this end, know the plot of the novel and the general structure of the text, two elements
functional to the translation process.
The historical background against which falls Tre Cavalli is Argentina's military dictatorship Process of National Reorganization (1976-1983). By special narrative structure of the novel, which never clearly reveals the historical period to which it relates, you must provide information on the causes and consequences of events that characterized that era and so explicit Argentina
the context of the novel.
This paper also wants to analyze the editorial case Three horses, Spanish translation of the Italian novel published in 2002 by the Akal Publishing and out of print by the publishing same in a short time. Therefore, an investigation into the receipt of Erri De Luca in Spain as the author of novels and an analysis of the case descatalogación Three horses will be presented, advancing hypotheses based
in the theory of aesthetics of reception Hans Robert Jauss (1921-1977). Having collected the necessary information about the extra items - Support of the novel, for the new Spanish translation will also be necessary to identify the peculiarities of the text that may represent 'problems' translation when creating the target text, analyzing the most special textual features with a depth in the narrative technique of elision approach. It will be a proposal of translation is set as main objective to provide the greatest respect for the identity of the text, its peculiarities to those of the author and at the same time, annul the barriers of language and cultural differences to achieve the difficult synthesis between the original matter content of the work and its best recreation in the target languageFac. de FilologíaInstituto Universitario de Lenguas Modernas y Traductores (IULMyT)FALSEunpu
Erri De Luca and the Bible : an author shaped by the Sacred Scripture
No full textCette étude vise à fournir une vision de la poétique de l'auteur contemporain Erri De Luca, à travers l'étude des éléments et des motifs empruntés aux Écritures particulièrement prégnants dans son œuvre. De tels éléments, renvoyant aux sources bibliques, fournissent une clef pour la lecture et pour l'interprétation de l'œuvre deluchienne dans sa complexité. L'insertion de l'imagery biblico-littéraire, chargée d'éléments qui depuis des siècles sont ancrés dans l'imaginaire collectif confère une unité à l'écriture de cet auteur, en dépit de sa variété. Le terme imagery est utilisé pour exprimer un ensemble d'images auxquelles appartiennent les symboles, les métaphores, les comparaisons, les thèmes, les conventions, ainsi que les archétypes, appartenant aux Saintes Écritures. La poétique de De Luca est analysée ici au moyen de l'identification des images qui constituent les principaux éléments de la narration des auteurs de la Bible, comme de l'auteur napolitain.En prenant comme objectif l'étude de l’œuvre deluchienne du point de vue de l'imagery des Saintes Écritures, ce travail se divise en quatre parties. La première partie vise à fournir un cadre général des échos bibliques dans la littérature italienne contemporaine, en proposant une brève description des thèmes et motifs qui ont inspiré, et continuent d'inspirer, les romanciers et poètes italiens. En outre, dans cette partie nous traitons les principales tendances que l'on peut dégager dans les différents écrits littéraires d'inspiration biblique, en nous appuyant sur quelques exemples. Ainsi, il est possible de déterminer la place qu'occupe la poétique de De Luca dans le contexte de la littérature italienne du XXième siècle, où la présence de la Bible est considérable. L'auteur napolitain, bien que dépourvu de sentiments religieux, non seulement comprend les Saintes Écritures à travers leur sens métaphorique, mais en fait également la matrice conceptuelle de ses propres œuvres littéraires, en créant un univers biblico-littéraire cohérent et entièrement personnel.Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous parcourons brièvement la biographie de De Luca, et en particulier certains aspects de sa vie personnelle en référence à ses œuvres. De telles références, récurrentes dans l'écriture deluchienne, forment un des deux macrotextes où l'écrivain puise pour créer sa propre poétique, celui de la vie. Dans cette partie, nous évoquons les concepts et les mots-clés forgés par De Luca lui-même, à travers le prisme desquels il semble souhaiter être lu et interprété. Le premier de ces concepts est la nostalgie des racines, idée à laquelle se rattachent les réflexions sur l'autre possibilité, ainsi que sur l'extranéité au monde. Il découle de cette analyse une description du militantisme politique de l'auteur. Enfin, on abordera l'expression utilisée par l'auteur pour définir son rapport avec la religion, à savoir sa condition de non-croyant. Dans la troisième partie, nous décrivons l'évolution de l'intérêt de De Luca pour la littérature, la traduction et l'interprétation des Saintes Écritures. Nous commençons par évoquer sa passion pour la culture et pour l'histoire juive, indissociable de l'étude de la langue de l'Ancien Testament, cette dernière ayant été apprise en vue de lire le texte biblique dans sa forme originaire. Cela a ensuite mené l'auteur vers un approfondissement des pratiques cabalistiques qui, à leur tour, lui ont permis de se lancer dans l'exégèse biblique. Ensuite, nous passons à une brève description des traductions deluchienne de certains livres de la Bible dans lesquelles l'auteur tente de restituer le plus fidèlement possible la forme originaire, en utilisant la langue italienne comme un simple moyen de faire entrevoir l'original. C'est pour cette raison que les traductions sont abordées dans cette analyse comme étant des connecteurs, ainsi qu'un moyen pour arriver du texte d'origine vers l'écriture, plus dans le sens conceptuel que séquentiel.The aim of the dissertation is to analyze the prose of the modern Italian writer Erri De Luca through the lens of biblical motifs and references, which bind his works together. Such references to biblical sources are the key to understanding and interpreting the author's writings, which, despite their multifaceted character, nonetheless remain grounded in biblical-literary imagery; one rich in references rooted in the human imagination since centuries past. The term imagery encompasses the entire set of biblical images including symbols, metaphors, comparisons, motifs, and archetypes. The analysis of De Luca's writings consists in foregrounding those images which constitute the fundamental elements of the narration both in the case of biblical authors, as in the case of the Neapolitan writer himself. The dissertation comprises four parts. Chapter One attempts to present the general framework of biblical references in modern Italian literature in the form of a short description of the themes and motifs taken up by Italian poets and prose writers alike. Furthermore, the chapter discusses and exemplifies the main tendencies in literary references to biblical imagery, which will then allow us to observe the ways in which De Luca's works partake in the larger body of 20th century Italian literature with visible biblical influences. Despite his declared lack of religious faith, the Neapolitan writer not only decodes the metaphorical sense of the Bible, but also adopts the Bible as the framework for his writings, thus creating a personal, unified, and unique biblical-literary universe. Chapter Two includes a short biographical note on the writer with a strong emphasis on those aspects of his life which are reflected in his writings. And because such references are numerous indeed, they comprise one of the two macrotexts that the writer refers to in his poetics, i.e. the life (vita) macrotext. This section also presents keywords introduced by De Luca himself. It can be assumed that the author wanted to point his readers and critics to a specific method of reading and interpreting his art. The first keyword of this kind refers to the concept of a longing for the return to the source, which is tied to reflections on the so-called other possibility (altra possibilità) and one's alienation from the exterior world. The later part of the chapter describes the author's political engagement and reflects on the meaning that De Luca ascribes to the word non-believer (non-credente), which the author uses to describe his personal approach to religion. Chapter Three describes the author's interest in reading, translating, and interpreting the Bible, starting with his interest for Jewish history and culture, the roots of which may be traced back to De Luca's study of the Hebrew language. The author undertook the study in order to be able to read biblical texts in their original language, which, in turn, has led him to acquaint himself with Cabalistic practices, enabling him to employ his own biblical exegesis. The chapter then provides an overview of De Luca's own translations of selected biblical texts, a distinguishing feature of which is the author's attempt to remain as faithful as possible to the original text. In this regard, De Luca treats the Italian language as a mere tool and does not consider the process of translation to be an end in and of itself. For this reason, the dissertation treats his translations as a “connector” of sorts, as well as a stepping stone in the journey from the source text to writing itself – more so in a conceptual sense than a temporal sense. The further part of the chapter will consist of an analysis of those of De Luca's works which could be described as “rewriting” biblical tales (riscritture), a process which is not only considered to be a distinct kind of translation, but even the next stage in the work of the translator
Salbatore Mitxelenaren Erri bat guruzbidean. Teatro kodean idatzitako erbesteko pentsamolde existentzialista baten erretratu soziologiko-teologiko-politikoa
No full textThe dramatic piece A Country at the Cruxifixion is a portrait written to be read, with another version to play on the stage under the title Confixus. As a portrait, it narrates the internal conflicts of the Franciscan author, who experienced the Spanish Civil War in 1936 and the exile. The drama is also a representation of Basque Christian society and the rawness of existence of that generation. Mitxelena wrote the portrait of these conflicts in the theater code building a metatheatre spectacle with historical data and a way of understanding existentialism combined with Christianity.Erretratu bat da Erri bat guruzbidean antzezlan literarioa, autoreak irakurtzeko soilik idatzi zuena hasieran, eta gero Confixus izenburupean oholtza gainerako beste bertsio bat duena.

Event-Related Rumination Inventory: A Validation Process in the Greek Language
No full textRumination has been identified as a negative psychological response of women diagnosed with breast cancer. The aim of the present study was to validate the Event-Related Rumination Inventory (ERRI) in Greek women with breast cancer. Sixty female patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer were included in the study. The ERRI questionnaire was translated with the back–forward procedure. Sociodemographic, anthropometric, and medical parameters were also assessed. The principal component analysis resulted in the following two-factor solution: (1) intrusive thoughts and (2) positive outcome. All subscales showed satisfactory internal consistency and variance, relative to theoretical score ranges. Subscale scores and the total score were significantly correlated with post-traumatic growth, distress, depression, and anxiety, demonstrating good criterion validity. Associations with patients’ sociodemographic and medical characteristics, such as the stage of the disease and the type of treatment, were also identified. The Greek version of the ERRI provides valid and reliable measures of rumination when administered to women with breast cancer. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG
Encontros Fotográficos entre as Mães (In) visíveis em Camera Lucida de Roland Barthes, Austerlitz de W. G. Sebald e Non ora, non qui de Erri de Luca
No full textThis article deals with three literary texts by Roland Barthes, W. G. Sebald and Erri De Luca, linked with each other thanks to the employment of photography in relation to the image of the mother. Yet, the ways in which each author negotiates with the mother-son photographic encounter are diverse: while in Barthes the photograph of his mother is substituted by the one of another woman, Nadar’s mother, in Sebald the photograph is physically printed on the page and interspersed within the literary narration; finally, in De Luca the photograph is depicted only verbally. On the one hand, photography seems to be the right medium to use in order for the process of recollection to be fulfilled; on the other hand, its employment problematizes some of the medium’s characteristics. In- dexicality, materiality, and the relationship that the act of viewing establishes between the self and the other, as in such encounters, for instance, “the image becomes a subject and the subject becomes an image” (Cadava 2009, 9), are indeed put under scrutiny. The distance between the narrators and their mothers is not uniquely temporal (the former are always older than the latter, who are mainly framed as young girls, thus deprived of their motherhood, and deceased at the moment of the narrators’ recollection) but also spatial. Photography, and its usage within verbal narrations, creates in fact a separation—both ideological and material—between the space of the viewer and that of the viewed. In sum, the comparison among these texts promotes a reconsideration of the ontology of the photographic medium, in particular of its presence/absence dichotomy, as “a photograph is always invisible” (Barthes 1980, 18), and a re-contextualization of the space/time units, among other issues.Este artigo lida com textos literários de Roland Barthes, W. G. Sebald e Erri De Luca, conectados entre si graças ao uso da fotografia em relação a imagem da mãe. As formas com que cada autor negocia o encontro fotográfico entre mãe e filho são diversas: enquanto em Barthes a fotografia da sua mãe é substituída por uma de outra mulher, a mãe de Nadar, em Sebald, a fotografia está fisicamente impressa na página intercalada com o corpo do texto literário; finalmente, em De Luca, a fotografia só é representada verbalmente.Por um lado, a fotografia parece ser o meio correto para completar o processo de recordação; por outro lado, o seu uso problematiza algumas características do medium. Indexicalidade, materialidade e a relação na qual o ato de ver se constrói entre o eu e o outro, nestes encontros, cujos “a imagem se torna um sujeito e o sujeito se torna uma imagem” (Cadava, 9), são de facto colocados sob escrutínio. A distância entre os narradores e suas mães não é unicamente temporal (eles são sempre mais velhos que elas, normalmente apresentadas como jovens raparigas, destarte desprovidas da sua maternidade e mortas no momento da recordação dos narradores), mas também espacial. A Fotografia e o seu uso em narrativas verbais criam, portanto, uma separação — tanto ideológica como material — entre o espaço do visualizador e o que é visualizado.Em suma, a comparação entre esses textos promove uma reconsideração da ontologia do meio fotográfico, em particular da sua dicotomia de presença/ausência, uma vez que “a fotografia é sempre invisível” (Barthes, 18) e a uma recontextualização das unidades de espaço/tempo, entre outras questões
A Study to Mitigate Legal and Contractual Issues on the Use of Building Information Modelling (BIM) in New Zealand Construction Industry
No full textFull Text is available to authenticated members of The University of Auckland only.The aim of this research project is to examine the contractual and legal issues of a BIM project and make recommendations to mitigate them. The study uses techniques of literature review and semi-structured industry personnel interviews to assess the relative importance of the identified issues and make suitable recommendations on it. In addition to this, the report has investigated the approach of promotion of BIM in few leading nations across the world including New Zealand and has found Singapore’s strategy to be the most comprehensive and robust. New Zealand is conservative in its approach and is making steady progress. Further, the study investigates the procurement models and contract documents, and suggests the use of ‘Design-Build’, ‘Novated Design-Build’ models for New Zealand market as the preferred models of procurement and the NZS 3916:2013 and NEC3 as the contracts that provide easier BIM integration. After this, the report examines BIM related documents used in construction contracts and investigates into few case studies and legal cases. The final chapter summarises the interviews conducted, which in essence suggested that the projects in which the participants were involved had issues of BIM successfully addressed through a well-articulated BIM Execution Plan. Following this section, the author analyses the identified potential problems and makes appropriate recommendations. First, in regard to IP and ownership, the contracts are suggested to reflect on IP and database rights related to BIM. The model ownership should be assigned to the client with restricted access, whereas the consultant must retain the original IP and model elements ownerships. Second, in relation to Indemnity/Liability, parties should consider checking if the designer needs to provide a warranty, assurance or indemnity as to the integrity of the model and data to avoid any unintended variation of the data transmitted. Subsequently, the report discusses Reliance on model/data, wherein parties should clearly mention the intent of the shared model/data and record these in a document such as the Model Description Document. Next, for Insurance related issues, all the participating parties need to disclose the use and extent of use of BIM in a project to their broker/insurer. Another suggestion is to run a pathway project with integrated project insurance which considerably can reduce its costs. Furthermore, on clauses relating to processes and data, it is advised that the BIM execution plan is a vital document which needs to be clear, accurate and extensive, and the project needs to have all parties on board with this document. The doctrine of Standard of Care for the architects/consultants requires them to advise their clients on the limitations and risks of BIM and understand that BIM should not affect their duty to use ‘reasonable skill, care and diligence’ on design. Next, in relation to Allocation of Risk, parties should consider relying on proportionate liability schemes and adopt a ‘knock-for-knock’ indemnities approach to avoid fault determination. Following which the report discusses Traceability, wherein, it recommends ‘freeze framing’ the BIM model at regular stages and integrating a manual or automated system log which will be transferred along with the model. To ensure Confidentiality is addressed better, a BIM information manager can control access to data, and special terms to address confidentiality specific to shared BIM models can be included in the contract/BEP document. Finally, for Clauses relating to standardisation and consistency, adoption of tools such as a BIM library, a BIM dictionary and a well-recognised framework to implement BIM is suggested
Determinación de cobalto en plantas pratenses por espectrofotometría de A.A. y espectroscopia de la reflectancia de R.I.
No full text13 páginas, 1 figura, 7 tablas.-- Con la colaboración técnica de Mª A. Sánchez Rodríguez[EN]A critical study of determination of Co in pasture plants through SAA, following the GELMAN´S method, slightly modified by us, and through SIRR as appointed by GARCIA CRIADO and cols., is carried our. In the first case an uptake has been done using APDC and MIBK; the pH influence and the agitation times and the phases separation are studied. In the second case the calibration of the IR reflectance system was carried out with samples of a known composition without needing any sort of reactive. It is verified that the required best acidity for a total uptake of Co is a pH = 1, and the necessary minimum times for agitation and phases separation are 1 and 15 minutes respectively. The GELMAN'S method modified becomes more precise and quicker than as it was initially proposed by this author. The SIRR new technique allows to estimate the Co concentration in pasture plants with a prediction standard error between ± 0.009% and ± 0.020% making it possible to analyze from about 20 to 30 samples per hour. These results show that the SIRR presents great possibilities for the rapid analysis of mineral elements.[ES]Se realiza un estudio crítico de la determinación de Co en plantas pratenses por EAA siguiendo el método de GELMAN, ligeramente modificado por nosotros, y por ERRI, según proponen GARCÍA CRIADO y cols. En el primer caso se hace una extracción utilizando APDC y MIBK, se estudia la influencia del pH y tiempos de agitación y separación de fases. En el segundo caso, la calibración del sistema de reflectancia de RI se lleva a cabo con muestras de composición conocida, no precisándose reactivos de ninguna clase. Se comprueba que para una extracción total de Co la acidez óptima requerida es a pH = 1 y los tiempos mínimos necesarios para la agitación y separación de fases de uno y quince minutos respectivamente. El método de GELMAN modificado resulta más preciso, exacto y rápido que el inicialmente propuesto por este autor. La nueva técnica de ERRI permite estimar la concentración de Co en plantas pratenses con un error estándar de predicción entre ± 0,009% y ± 0,020%, pudiéndose analizar entre 20 y 30 muestras por hora. Estos resultados ponen de manifiesto que la ERRI puede ofrecer grandes posibilidades en el análisis rápido de elementos minerales.Peer reviewe

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE OF PT. BANK SYARIAH INDONESIA AND PT. BANK MANDIRI (PERSERO) AS THE PARENT AND CONTROLLING SHAREHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY
No full textThe desire for a new business line to increase new income is one of the goals of conventional banks opening Islamic business units (UUS) or Islamic Commercial Banks (BUS). This goal will be achieved if the transfer of knowledge (marketing knowledge, technological knowledge and experience) and commitment to increasing resources (human resources, capital, infrastructure) from the parent company to the subsidiary companies goes well. In fact, the market share of Islamic banking is still very small compared to the conventional industry, only recorded at 7.09% and there is a large discrepancy in the performance of Islamic Business Units and Islamic Commercial Banks compared to the performance of their parent companies. The author is interested in conducting this research, with the consideration that Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) is the largest Islamic bank and Bank Mandiri as the holding company and controlling shareholder. The author wants to know how the performance comparison of both. Supposedly if shareholder commitment is high to its subsidiaries, then total assets, equity, net income and financial performance ratios in this case CAR, NPL, NIM, ROA, BOPO and LDR are not much different. The sample data is the financial performance of BSI and Bank Mandiri as of Quarter I 2021 to Quarter IV 2022. The columnogorov-smirnov test is used to test data normality and independent sample t-test to test hypotheses, with the SPSS 25 program. As a result, there is no simultaneous significant differences between BSI and Bank Mandiri in CAR, NPL, NIM, ROA, BOPO and LDR or all financial performance indicators, but partially there are significant differences for all of these financial performance indicator
