Download or read book Literary translation and beyond written by Rosella Mallardi and published by Peter Lang. This book was released on 2008 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I saggi qui raccolti sono stati presentati nel corso del seminario «Literary Translation and Beyond / Traduzione letteraria e oltre» tenutosi a Bari nel 2006. Partendo dal testo tradotto, i relatori affrontano taluni aspetti relativi alle problematiche fondamentali: in che misura la traduzione corrisponde più o meno scrupolosamente al senso dell'originale, ovvero come e perché il testo di partenza viene «addomesticato» e familiarizzato nella lingua e cultura di arrivo. All'interno di queste due polarità vengono a configurarsi diverse tipologie di «traduzione», da quella fondata sulla ricerca filologica ed esegetica più «rispettosa» del testo fonte, a quella più incline alla riscrittura, soprattutto se a tradurre è uno scrittore, a quella che trae ispirazione dal testo fonte per trasporlo, parodiarlo, parafrasarlo, imitarlo e adattarlo in uno stesso o in un altro genere letterario o in un codice differente. La gran parte delle relazioni qui raccolte applica l'approccio teorico-descrittivo, nel senso che esse descrivono e commentano le scelte traduttive all'interno di un testo, valutandone la coerenza con il sistema normativo traduttologico e rilevandone le implicazioni epistemiche, altri contributi fanno più esplicito riferimento alle teorie polisistemiche, approfondendo la collocazione e l'impatto del testo tradotto nel sistema letterario della cultura di arrivo.

Download or read book The Boundaries of Europe written by Pietro Rossi and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2015-04-24 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Europe’s boundaries have mainly been shaped by cultural, religious, and political conceptions rather than by geography. This volume of bilingual essays from renowned European scholars outlines the transformation of Europe’s boundaries from the fall of the ancient world to the age of decolonization, or the end of the explicit endeavor to “Europeanize” the world.From the decline of the Roman Empire to the polycentrism of today’s world, the essays span such aspects as the confrontation of Christian Europe with Islam and the changing role of the Mediterranean from “mare nostrum” to a frontier between nations. Scandinavia, eastern Europe and the Atlantic are also analyzed as boundaries in the context of exploration, migratory movements, cultural exchanges, and war. The Boundaries of Europe, edited by Pietro Rossi, is the first installment in the ALLEA book series Discourses on Intellectual Europe, which seeks to explore the question of an intrinsic or quintessential European identity in light of the rising skepticism towards Europe as an integrated cultural and intellectual region.

Download or read book The nEU Med project Vetricella an Early Medieval royal property on Tuscany s Mediterranean written by Giovanna Bianchi and published by All’Insegna del Giglio. This book was released on 2020-04-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nEU-Med project is part of the Horizon 2020 programme, in the ERC Advanced project category. It began in October 2015 and the University of Siena is the host institution of the project. The project is focussed upon two Tuscan riverine corridors leading from the Gulf of Follonica in the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Colline Metallifere. It aims to document and analyze the form and timeframe of economic growth in this part of the Mediterranean, which took place between the 7th and the 12thc. Central to this is an understanding of the processes of change in human settlements, in the natural and farming landscapes in relation to the exploitation of resources, and in the implementation of differing political strategies. This volume presents the multi-disciplinary research focussed upon the key site of the project, Vetricella, and its territory. Vetricella is thought to be the site of Valli, a royal property in the Tuscan march. It is the only Early Medieval property to be extensively studied in Italy. Located on Italy’s Tyrrhenian coast, the archaeology and history of this site provide new insights on estate management, metal production and wider Mediterranean relations in the later first millennium. Apart from reports on the archaeology, the finds from excavations and environmental studies, three essays consider the wider European historical and archaeological context of Vetricella. Future monographs will feature studies by members of the project team on aspects of Vetricella, its finds and territory.
