The Author/Translator Interactional Process. A Case Study
No full textSee Naples and Kill (1988) is a lively and colourful novel by the con-temporary English writer, Gregory Dowling, translated into Italian in 2015.
Following the tradition of translation studies (Venuti 2000, Bass-nett 2002, Cronin 2006), this paper analyses the rewriting process of literary translation, considering in particular the fruitful but sometimes tense and even conflictual relationship between writer and translator.
The translation of the novel See Naples and Kill was an ongoing rewriting process entailing a constant dialogue between the writer and the translator. Therefore, the study aims at answering two main ques-tions: what happens if the rewriting process of translation is constant-ly questioned by the author? What happens if the author has a good mastery of the target language and s/he is her/himself a translator?
By exploring the relationship between translation and re-creation, the research focuses on the differences and similarities between the primary creation (source text) and the secondary creation (target text), and aims to verify in which way the dialogic encounter of two different personalities and cultures does not make them merge but, by retaining their own uniqueness, leads eventually to their mutually en-riching each other. A comparative analysis of the source text and the different drafts of the translated version accompanied by the author’s comments will shed light on the tense author-translator relationship in the specific case under investigation and how both actors handle this tension in order to create a new work resulting from the (dis)agreement of the two parties
L'attualità di Monte Sole
No full textIl volume ricostruisce il discorso pubblico intorno al massacro di Monte Sole (Marzabotto, 1944) nell'Italia repubblicana. Il saggio introduttivo individua le fasi di tale dibattito nel quadro della discussione sulla memoria collettiva della guerra e propone ipotesi interpretative e linee di ricerca
Introduzione alla Città del Sole
No full textCampanella scrive La Città del Sole durante gli anni di prigionia nella fortezza di Castel Nuovo, sospinto dall'idea di una sospirata nuova società. In quest'opera frate Tommaso armonizza sottigliezza filosofica, passione mistica e slancio idealistico, o meglio utopistico. La Città del Sole risulta essere al tempo stesso un monumento al Creatore, un appello ad agire in conformità con le leggi naturali e un'esortazione a concorrere solidarmente alla prosperità generale
Kimon a Siracusa. Spunti di riflessione sull’attività, lo stile e le opere minori dell’incisore
No full textKimon's output boasts numerous studios, though the minor nominals are
often been excluded from scientific analysis in favor of the major ones. This contribution is dedicated to these «minor» works (in particular silver hemidracmae and bronze hemilitra) listed in the catalogue. Despite the presence of Cimon's signature, they appear distance itself from the rest of its production. By analyzing their style and using comparisons with the larger dies by Kimon himself and other engravers, the author offers new ideas for reflections and questions regarding the engraver's professional activity and procedures of production practiced between the various Syracusan ateliers of the end of the V-beginning of the IV century BC
La Sicilia centro-meridionale tra le guerre civili e l’età giulio-claudia: rinvenimenti monetali e contesti
No full textThe contribution analyzes the numismatic documentation found in the territory of central-southern Sicily in the period
between the civil wars and the Julio-Claudian age, recomposing, where possible, the contexts of discovery. These are
seven sites (Contrada Manca, near Vallelunga Pratameno, Castellazzo di Marianopoli, Piano della Clesia, Gibil Gabib;
Bitalemi, Petrusa di Niscemi, Sofiana), whose numismatic finds are often unpublished, as well as in small numbers, so
as to lead reflect on whether this contained documentation is an indicator of a depopulation of the territory or of a
transformation of settlement methods with socio-economic repercussions on the use of money
“NUMMI DIGITALI”: approcci innovativi per la conoscenza, gestione e valorizzazione del patrimonio numismatico del Museo Archeologico Regionale “A. Salinas” di Palermo’
No full textThe subject of the contribution is the “NUMMI DIGITALI” project which aims to enhance the numismatic collection of the Archaeological Museum “A. Salinas” in Palermo, closed to public use for over seventy years, which will become accessible thanks to the close interrelationship between numismatic-archaeological methodologies and the IT approach. The project, curated by Lavinia Sole, Numismatics researcher at the Culture and Society Department of the University of Palermo, within the PON "Research and Innovation" 2014-2020, Axis IV-Action IV.4, provides for the creation of a digital database, in line with the standards and cataloging tools of the ICCD and with the methodological guidelines of the National Plan for the digitization of the cultural heritage of the MiC; the interconnection of the database with the web for a real use through the potential offered by ICT; the activation of interactive communication processes with the user through high-resolution photographs and 3D renderings featuring points of interest with references to hypertexts and/or multimedia
Ambivalenze della modernità: madri sole a Napoli
No full textIl contributo presenta lo studio di alcune biografie di madri sole, diverse per stato civile, per età e per estrazione sociale. L'obiettivo è quello di mostrare come dietro l'etichetta di madre sola si celi un universo estremamente differenziato. Le biografie analizzate consentono infatti di mettere in luce come non tutte le madri sole siano tali per un destino crudele: alcune lo sono per scelta e talvolta, anche quando è subita, la monogenotorialità non necessariamente riveste solo il carattere di un doloroso abbandono. La "singleness" può rappresentare una liberazione da un assetto familiare asimmetrico e abusante, e costituire un vero e proprio turning point. Le politiche di sostegno alle madri sole devono riconoscere tali differenze e nell'ottica di un welfare attivo, considerare le risorse i bisogni e le specificità delle destinatarie

Feeding Behaviour, Swimming Activity and Boldness Explain Variation in Feed Intake and Growth of Sole (Solea Solea) Reared in Captivity
No full textThe major economic constraint for culturing sole (Solea solea) is its slow and variable growth. The objective was to study the relationship between feed intake/efficiency, growth, and (non-) feeding behaviour of sole. Sixteen juveniles with an average (SD) growth of 2.7 (1.9) g/kg0.8/d were selected on their growth during a 4-week period in which they were housed communally with 84 other fish. Selected fish were housed individually during a second 4-week period to measure individual feed intake, growth, and behaviour. Fish were hand-fed three times a day during the dark phase of the day until apparent satiation. During six different days, behaviour was recorded twice daily during 3 minutes by direct observations. Total swimming activity, frequency of burying and of escapes were recorded. At the beginning and end of the growth period, two sequential behavioural tests were performed: “Novel Environment” and “Light Avoidance”. Fish housed individually still exhibited pronounced variation in feed intake (CV = 23%), growth (CV = 25%) and behavior (CV = 100%). Differences in feed intake account for 79% of the observed individual differences in growth of sole. Fish with higher variation in feed intake between days and between meals within days had significantly a lower total feed intake (r = -0.65 and r = -0.77) and growth. Active fish showed significantly higher feed intake (r = 0.66) and growth (r = 0.58). Boldness during both challenge tests was related to fast growth: (1) fish which reacted with a lower latency time to swim in a novel environment had significantly higher feed intake (r = -0.55) and growth (r = -0.66); (2) fish escaping during the light avoidance test tended to show higher feed intake (
Ripostigli di bronzi nella Sicilia di età arcaica. Contesti di rinvenimento, funzioni e aspetti ponderali
No full textThe contribution analyzes the structure, composition and contexts of the archaic age bronze hoards found in the colonial and anellenic sites of Sicily. The particular frequency of hoards in sacred areas is evident, where they are consecrated to the chthonic divinities due to their intrinsic value, linked to their metallic nature and their notion of weight
