title: SOME CONSIDERATIONS ON MULTILINGUALISM IN FILM SUBTITLING: A CASE STUDY

description: Abstract Multilingualism is a reality of the contemporary world; therefore, it echoes in various artistic manifestations. The main goal of this research project is to study how this phenomenon is translated into the Portuguese, particularly in the subtitling of Pedro Almodóvar’s filmography in that same language. Through a reflection on the functionality of the presence of other languages in the filmic text, we intend to analyse the translation of the cases of multilingualism found in the selected corpus. Finally, with the data obtained, we will attempt at finding translation trends or norms that prevail in the process for subtitling in a concrete corpus and in a specific linguistic combination.

title: “A DANCE OF STRENGTH”: STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS IN THREE TRANSLATIONS OF RAINER MARIA RILKE

description: Abstract In this paper, I intend to investigate if and how the structural elements of Rainer Maria Rilke’s poem “Der Panther” (“The panther”) were recreated by three of his most influential translators in Brazil, namely by Geir Campos (1924-1999) in 1953, by José Paulo Paes (1926-1998) in 1993 and by Augusto de Campos (1931- ) in 1994. Based on the assumptions presented by Haroldo de Campos in the essay “Of translations as creation and criticism” (1963), according to which the translation of poetry is a work with “the sign itself […], that is, the sign’s tangible self, its very materiality” (Campos (a) 315, translated by Diana Gibson and Haroldo de Campos), I intend to firstly point out the even greater importance of these elements in those poems by Rilke (among them “Der Panther”) which have been described by critics (Müller 298) as “Dinggedicht” (or “thing-poem”) for the last hundred years. Secondly, I will briefly analyse the original poem’s structural elements (meaning here meter, alliterations, assonances, phrasal movement and other aspects of the materiality of the linguistic sign). Finally, I intend to briefly compare the ways by which the three translators dealt with these structural elements in their respective translations to the Portuguese.

title: COLONIZATION MEMORY IN TRANSLATION AND PERFORMANCE

description: Abstract The article aims to analyze the inaugural scene of the conquest of America as a “reiterative act” and its intersemiotic translations as conformers of an archive that restores and repeats it in an ever renewed present, constituting the translations as performances of this inaugural scene and of its deployments. By observing the movements that accompany the inaugural moment of territorial conquest, the condemnation of embodied practices of indigenous people (spoken language and rites, in particular) and the attempt to erase them for the purpose of domination comes up. The work of transcription and translation of part of the repertoire of Amerindian cultures, carried out by missionaries such as Diego de Landa and Bernardino de Sahagún, is discussed as a double movement where memory and erasure are confronted. If, on the one hand, they leave a record of archival memory that allows the recognition of indigenous performances banished by the colonial power, on the other hand, the monological conception of translation makes the objective of the conversion of the starting culture prevail resulting in a form of erasure by its subjugation to the paradigms of the arrival culture.

title: ESTRANGEMENT AS TRANSLATION STRATEGY: CATEGORIZATION OF ESTRANGEMENT IN PAULO LEMINSKI’S POEMS AND ITS RE-CREATION IN CHINESE

description: Abstract Paulo Leminski is considered avant-garde who continues to exert a strong influence on the new generations of Brazilian poets. In this article, we discuss the estrangement in Leminski’s poems and its re-creation in Chinese translation. After discussing the connotation of estrangement in the literary translation context, we develop an unprecedented categorization of estrangement consisting of six categories and present our definition of criteria for the categories as well as the estrangement re-creation process exemplified by translated poems from Portuguese to Chinese. We believe that serving as a guiding strategy for poetry translation, a proper categorization can help with the re-creation of estrangement. The next step for research into the re-creation of estrangement will consist, as we see, of studies and/or translations applying the categorization in other literary works and improving the categorization itself.

title: HUMOROUS EXPRESSION REENACTED IN TRANSLATION: THE RECREATION OF THREE CHARACTERS FROM STEPHEN LEACOCK’S SUNSHINE SKETCHES

description: Abstract This article on my proposal of an annotated translation of Stephen Leacock’s comic novel Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town (1912) comprises the scrutiny of a rather non-hegemonic and overlooked discursive literary channel: humour. My analysis of the novel and reflection upon some of the excerpts translated elaborate upon the role of the translator as an active agent for the diffusion of epistemologies that deviate from normativity – highlighting how the translation of comic effects contribute to the dissemination of such deviation in time and space.

title: PARATEXTS IN LITERARY AND SPECIALIZED TRANSLATIONS: A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF FOREWORDS AND INTRODUCTIONS

description: Abstract In the field of Translation Studies, paratexts included in translated books have been increasingly used by researchers as part of their descriptive-based studies, which has originated a wealth of theory about the functions that paratexts play in translated materials. However, for the most part, researchers have focused on literary translations and, as result, little is known about the functions and characteristics of paratexts in translations of specialized books. The paper addresses this gap by comparing 26 paratexts (forewords and introductions) taken from Brazilian translations of Shakespeare’s Hamlet with 24 paratexts taken from 200 translations of academic books (e.g. medicine, engineering, biology, physics) published over the last six decades. It discusses similarities and differences between the topics that both corpora of paratexts address

title: PRODUCTIVE CRITICISM OF TWO VERSIONS IN SPANISH OF ROBERT LOWELL’S “THE HOLY INNOCENTS”

description: Abstract This work aims to offer a productive criticism, following the French theorist Antoine Berman, of the translations of the poem “The Holy Innocents” by Robert Lowell into Spanish. Robert Lowell is not only one of the most important poets of the second half of the twentieth century, but has also been rendered into Spanish on several occasions. The two versions were made by translators who were also poets and academics. The comparison between translations was made following the system of analytical translation by Berman. When carrying out the criticism, the hermeneutical analysis of the poem, the position of the translators and the translation project were taken into account —also according to Berman— in order to appreciate the different subjective readings that are presented in each translation.

title: TRANSLATIONAL CHOICES AND EFFECTS ON READING: A STUDY ON TWO TRANSLATIONS INTO SPANISH OF ‘DEVANEIO E EMBRIAGUEZ DUMA RAPARIGA’ BY CLARICE LISPECTOR

description: Abstract The following paper presents a critique of two translations into Spanish of “Devaneio e embriaguez duma rapariga”, a short story by the Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector that has the peculiarity of being written with characteristics of European Portuguese. The study method is based on Lance Hewson’s categories in An Approach to Translation Criticism that describe translational choices, and their potential effects on reading and interpretation of a literary text. By doing so, Cristina Peri Rossi’s, and Edgardo Russo’s and Mario Cámara’s collaborative translation strategies become clearer and some general considerations about their work can be typified.

title: CONTRIBUTIONS OF CONTRASTIVE ANALYSIS OF GENRES TO MAPPING TRANSLATION PRODUCT

description: Abstract Our aim is to show how contrastive models of genres can inform research on translation product. We do so by deploying contrastive descriptions to analyze text production in different languages. Product-oriented Translation Studies are often grounded on language theory and description – in particular contrastive and typological descriptions, as translation involves more than one language. However, translation as phenomenon happens between texts, thus contrastive descriptions of particular text types could arguably serve translation more efficiently than generalized descriptions for whole languages. We provide a contrastive model along with a methodology for further exploration in translation. Based on the Systemic Functional Linguistics framework we provide a contrastive model of academic article introduction texts. Our results show how contrastive modeling explains typological differences in choice of resources and the variation in text behavior when languages are compared.

title: THE VERNACULAR PORTUGUESE DISTICH IN THE POETICAL TRANSLATION OF THE EPISTLE PHYLLIS DEMOPHOONTI FROM OVID’S HEROIDES

description: Abstract To translate the Latin elegiac couplet, some metrified poetic translations of Ovidian works into Portuguese have shown a preference for the vernacular couplet created by Péricles Eugênio da Silva Ramos (1964). This couplet is formed by combining one Alexandrine verse followed by a decasyllable. Following this model, we present our proposal of a creative transposto of the letter of Phyllis to Demophoon (Ep. 2), based on the considerations of some poet translators that used the same arrangement and on the theoretical and methodological basis of the practice of poetic translation according to Roman Jakobson (1969), Samuel Levin (1978) and José Paulo Paes (2008).

title: SHAKESPEARE CHECKS INTO THE DIGITAL WORLD: REWRITING HIS PLAYS USING EMOJIS

description: Abstract This study analyzes the OMG Shakespeare series, which aims at bringing Shakespeare’s plays to young audiences using digital language. The series features rewritings of Shakespeare’s plays into WhatsApp-message format. There are four titles available: srsly Hamlet, Macbeth #killingit, YOLO Juliet and A Midsummer Night #nofilter. The analysis seeks to determine: i) the general concept of the series; ii) the main strategies used in the intermedial adaptation of the plays and iii) the relationships between verbal and visual languages in the texts. The theoretical framework relies on Irina Rajewisky’s (2010) and Werner Wolf’s (1999) concepts of intermediality, Charles Peirce’s (1998) theory of signs, Lars Elleström’s (2010, 2013) conceptual framework on modality and media and on Linda Hutcheon’s (2013) concepts of adaptation.

title: Exogenous antioxidants on quality of cabbage seeds

description: Abstract During seed germination there is production of reactive oxygen species, which, in a controlled way, are important to cell signaling and protection against pathogens, but, in excess, impair germination. Therefore, the objective of this study was to assess the action of different compounds on antioxidant mechanisms and enzymatic activation in cabbage seeds. Compounds like kojic acid, thymol and tyrosol were used to imbibe the cabbage seeds together with distilled water, and a control treatment without imbibition was used as well, with subsequent assessment by means of germination test, endosperm rupture, vigor, radicle protrusion, and assessment of seedling biochemical analyses by the activity of enzymes ascorbate peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase and α-amylase. Data were subjected to analysis of variance and to the LSD means comparison test. Seeds treated with tyrosol presented higher results on the rupture of the endosperm, germination and vigor, and root development increased with use antioxidants. For the activity of antioxidant enzymes in seedlings, only kojic acid showed increase in the superoxide dismutase activity. There was also a reduction in the catalase activity with the use of thymol and tyrosol compounds compared to dry-seed assessments. After tyrosol treatment, ascorbate peroxidase enzyme was not detected, and water-imbibed seeds showed higher α-amylase activity. The use of antioxidant compounds has beneficial effects on cabbage seeds, and soaking with tyrosol led to better physiological quality, with activation of antioxidant defense mechanisms during germination.

title: TRANSLATING THE VIOLENT CONTENT OF GRIMM BROTHERS’ FAIRY TALES: AN EYE-TRACKER EXPERIMENT

description: Abstract Eye tracking has been introduced as a tool to analyze cognitive processes of translators in recent years. Current research with eye tracker focuses on examining translation processes. As far as we know, however, this tool has not been used for detecting eye movement behaviors related to the cognitive processing of violent content in the source text (ST). As research in this area is emerging, this study aims to determine if semantic associations with violent actions or activities in the ST produces a response in the gaze behavior of the translator. This paper presents an experimental study to investigate the cognitive processes involved in the translation of three condensed versions of Grimm brothers’ fairy tales. The selected texts present the range of violent content for which these tales are renowned, from more modern adaptations which remove the violent content to very explicit and graphicly violent stories. Texts were translated from Spanish (L2) into English (L1). Fixation counts and fixation duration were calculated for each participant in ten Areas of Interest (AOI) which represented challenges in translating various aspects of grammar and violence presented in these tales.

title: Genome size and repetitive sequences are driven by artificial selection on the length of the vegetative cycle in maize landraces from Northeastern Argentina

description: Abstract Variation in genome size and knob heterochromatin content was explored in relationship to altitudinal cline and length of the vegetative cycle in northern Argentina, USA and Mexico landraces. It was considering that the decrease in DNA and heterochromatin content could be an adaptation to a shorter growing season and the result of artificial selection by man. Guaraní landraces from Northeastern Argentina (NEA) show similar variation in genome size (3.81pg to 7.56pg) and knob heterochromatin content than maize growing across an altitudinal cline. The present analysis offers an overview of the genetic variability of NEA maize to explain why Guaraní landraces and those along an altitudinal cline share this similar variation. Karyotype and flow cytometry data were employed. The DNA content of Guaraní landraces which lacking B chromosomes, showed no significant relationship with knob heterochromatin, suggesting differences in the amount of interspersed DNA. A significant positive relationship was found between the length of the vegetative cycle and both number and percentage of knob heterochromatin. No significant correlation was found between genome size and vegetative cycle. All these results allow us to conclude that the variation in heterochromatin content among Guaraní maize is driven by the selection of farmers for flowering time.

title: Checklist of Angiosperms in the Restingas of Pará state, Brazil, with comments on floristic affinities and phytophysiognomies

description: Abstract Pará state has one of the longest coastal in Brazil. However, floristic surveys have been conducted in few regions and only one study has comprehensively evaluated the coastal flora of the state. The objective of this study was to create an updated and certified checklist of the angiosperms in the restingas of Pará. The list was made using literature, floristic and taxonomic revisions, herbaria specimens from HBRA, IAN, MFS and MG, and collections made between 2014 and 2018. Overall, 470 species, 279 genera and 92 families were recorded. Of this total, 11 species are new records for coastal Pará. The families with the greatest number of species are Fabaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae, Myrtaceae, Rubiaceae, Asteraceae, Apocynaceae, Polygalaceae, Convolvulaceae and Melastomataceae, which correspond to 52% of the species. Cyperus, Eugenia, Rhynchospora, Eleocharis and Ipomoea are the most representative genera. For life forms, herbs and shrubs are predominant. Dune fields, restinga forest and herbaceous swamp are the phytophysiognomies with the greatest number of species. A comparison with restingas of northeastern Brazil showed that the flora surveyed is most similar to that of Maranhão, since many species of the Amazonian flora also occur in restingas in this state.

title: In vitro culture of sempre-vivas species (Comanthera): a review

description: Abstract The term “sempre-viva” denotes plants whose structures retain their natural form and color after being cut and dried. For these reasons, they are commercially valuable for ornamental purposes. However, due to extractive overexploitation of their inflorescences, some of these species are considered endangered. The genus Comanthera includes the sempre-vivas species with greatest economic importance in Brazil. Previous studies have shown that tissue culture is a workable strategy for in vitro propagation and conservation of species of this genus. However, these studies are still incipient. Therefore, the objective of this review is to summarize the findings on the in vitro cultivation of species of the Comanthera genus, to serve as the basis for future research. The text is structured in two main topics: micropropagation and in vitro conservation.

title: Endosperm development in Dyckia pseudococcinea (Pitcairnioideae - Bromeliaceae)

description: Abstract Dyckia pseudococcinea is a threatened species endemic to the restingas of the Atlantic Forest, an area under strong anthropic impact. From the perspective of conservation, plant embryology is interesting by the variety of approaches for in vitro culture of seedlings. With this in mind, the present study describes the endospermogenesis of D. pseudococcinea to provide data for conservation studies and indicate characters that may contribute to the systematics of Pitcairnioideae. Using anatomical analysis, samples of flowers and fruits at different developmental stages were analyzed. We observed the establishment of the primary endosperm nucleus and then the primary endosperm cell (PEC). Upon expansion of the central vacuole of PEC, nuclei migrate to the chalazal, peripheral, and micropylar domains. An early centripetal cellularization begins in the chalazal region, characterizing the endosperm as coenocytic/multicellular type. With cellularization, the endosperm enfolds the embryo. In addition, in the outermost layer of the endosperm, an aleurone layer is visible. These observations allowed some embryological characters to be identified, thus helping to clarify the systematic relationships of Pitcairnioideae and also the genus Dyckia, such as the presence of hypostasis, the persistence of the antipodals and synergids during the early stages of endospermogenesis and coenocytic/multicellular endospermogenesis. Having established the details of endospermogenesis, we then set forth guidelines for the development of in vitro culture protocols aimed at the conservation of D. pseudococcinea, an endangered Bromeliad species of the Atlantic Forest.

title: Pollen morphology and its systematic value to southern South American species of Lepidaploa (Vernonieae: Asteraceae)

description: Abstract Palynological data have been used in Vernonieae for generic and specific delimitations, particularly in the Lepidaploinae subtribe. For this reason, pollen studies in the genus Lepidaploa are important to solve taxonomic conflicts. We characterized 23 species of Lepidaploa searching for morphological differences among themselves. We then compared the data obtained with other genera of the Lepidaploinae. The results show that the species have pollen type “C” (with polar lacuna) or “G” (without polar lacuna), oblate-spheroidal, subprolate or prolate-spheroidal, 3-colporate and equinolophate. The pollen types and shape of pollen grain are taxonomically useful. Pollen morphology is useful to distinguish species and genera of Lepidaploinae. Together with macromorphological data it is possible to delimit Lepidaploa and the species studied here.
