    Ritradurre Kleiner Mann – was nun? di Hans Fallada. Per uno studio contrastivo delle traduzioni

    No full text
    Il 10 e l’11 novembre del 2009 il Dipartimento di Scienze Filologiche e Linguistiche dell’Università di Palermo ha ospitato un workshop dal titolo Traduttori a confronto. Susan Bennett, Laurence Courtois e Mario Rubino discutono delle loro nuove versioni di Kleiner Mann – was nun? di Hans Fallada. Lo spunto per il workshop è nato dalla constatazione che, dopo decenni in cui Fallada era stato quasi completamente ignorato, c’era stato un notevole incremento di interesse per le sue opere, con nuove traduzioni in Gran Bretagna, Francia, Spagna e Italia. Il workshop ha riunito tre dei traduttori perché si confrontassero sul lavoro svolto, rappresentando un’occasione di incontro per poter discutere di un testo a lungo dimenticato e finalmente riscoperto, dando vita a un interessante dibattito sull’esperienza stessa della traduzione, frequentemente oggetto di analisi teoriche, ma solo di rado, purtroppo, affrontata in termini concreti, sulla base degli aspetti tangibili del testo e della sua traduzione. In questo Special Issue, quindi, sono raccolte le testimonianze dei tre traduttori che erano presenti al workshop, ai quali si aggiungono i contributi di due degli editori di queste traduzioni, la palermitana Sellerio e la londinese Libris

    Does Keratoconus Follow Rundle’s Curve?

    No full text
    Background: Rundle’s curve describes the natural progression of disease as gradually worsening before reaching a peak and stabilizing. This study aimed to investigate whether Rundle’s curve could be applied to keratoconus over a five-year follow-up period. Methods: Longitudinal study. Patients with keratoconus who underwent Pentacam tomography imaging from the Australian Study of Keratoconus were included in this study. Patients who received surgical treatment for keratoconus were excluded. Latent class analysis was performed for five parameters: Kmean front, Kmean back, pachymetry pupil, pachymetry minimum and pachymetry apex. A total of 522 patients and 1041 eyes were included for analysis. Most parameters were stable. However, worsening keratoconus in a minority of patients (less than 5% of the population) was observed across the last year of follow-up. The patients that showed progression in the final year were younger in age and had higher baseline parameters. Results: This study suggests keratoconus does not conform to the classic Rundle’s curve of disease progression. Instead, keratoconus exhibits a distinct course characterized by an increased risk of progression among younger individuals and eyes with higher baseline parameter values. Conclusions: These findings underscore the importance of considering treatments that halt disease progression, such as corneal collagen crosslinking, particularly in this specific subgroup of patients

    Resisting Foreign Penetration: the Anti-translation Campaign in Italy in the Wake of the Ethiopian War

    No full text
    During the 1930s Italy published more translations than any other country in the world. This phenomenon has tended to be seen in terms of the influence on Italian culture of translated American literature, and of its contribution in the construction of a cultural myth of America. It is my belief that this was not the "decennio delle traduzioni" just because of the way in which writers like Pavese and Vittorini used the activity of translation as a means to resist the cultural climate of the time, or because of the popularity of contemporary American fiction; but also for the reason that a taste and a market for popular fiction was catered to using translations and that consequently translations became a cultural and political issue

    A Multi-Language Comparison of Influences on Author Verification using Character N-Grams

    No full text
    We create a new multi-language corpus for author verification based on Wikipedia talkpages, and evaluate the influence that differences in topic and time have on character n-gram author profiles. Topic alignment between two texts is found to increase author verification precision, and an authors writing style is found to change over time, but not more significantly after 3 years than after 1 year.Information ArchitectureWISElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

    The vanishing author in computer-generated works: a critical analysis of recent Australian case law

    No full text
    Abstract The use of software is ubiquitous in the creation of many copyright works, yet the requirement in copyright law that every work have a human author who engages in independent intellectual effort means that its use may prevent copyright subsistence. Several recent Australian cases have refocused attention on authorship as an essential criterion of copyright subsistence, and these cases suggest that much computer-produced output may be authorless and thus lack copyright protection. This article, the first in a two-part series, analyses how each case deals with the question of authorship of computer-produced works and why the use of software diminishes copyright protection for a significant number of computer-generated works. The article critiques the application of conventional notions of human authorship developed in the pre-computer age to modern productions and suggests alternative approaches to authorship that satisfy both the major objectives of copyright policy and the need to adapt to the computer age. The article argues that, without a broader judicial approach to authorship of computer-generated works, Parliament must remedy the lacuna in protection for these ‘authorless’ works. Possible solutions for reform are suggested. In a forthcoming article, the author comprehensively examines those reform proposals
