Flora Ossette’s ‘feminist visibility’ in her translation of Olive Schreiner’s Woman and Labour
2011
La visibilidad del traductor o la traductora se ha convertido en tema obligado en los estudios de traducción desde que Lawrence Venuti editara en 1995 su conocido The Translator’s Invisibility. En la única traducción al castellano de Woman and Labour de Olive Schreiner por parte de Flora Ossette no solo es posible apreciar la voz de la “traductora implícita” (Hermans 1996), sino una voz “explícita”. La traductora interviene activamente en el texto que traduce añadiendo, omitiendo, reorganizando, apostillando o enfatizando las ideas de Schreiner. Además, llevada por los ideales feministas que comparten ambas y por su admiración por la autora sudafricana, se convierte en autora redactando un …

The secularization of Marian miracles in Miquel Peres’ La vida de la Verge Maria
2017
En aquest treball analitze el conjunt de miracles marians inclosos per Miquel Peres en La vida de la sacratíssima Verge Maria (València, N. Spindeler, 1494). Aquest conjunt de miracles no només destaca per la funcionalitat concreta que adquireixen en l’estructura de l’obra, sinó perquè, a més, aquests mostren unes característiques determinades que els allunyen de les col·leccions de miracula marians, ja que no presenten alguns dels trets més significatius del gènere. Els miracles de Miquel Peres constitueixen una mostra de la transformació i la secularització del gènere, i ens parlen dels nous usos que se’n deriven i dels nous lectors a qui s’adrecen. In this paper I discuss the whole of Ma…
Magia y milagros de san Paulicio en <em>Arderique</em> (1517): el cadáver del santo, la pareja infecunda y el nacimiento heroico
2019
Arderique es el título de un libro de caballerías castellano, anónimo, publicado en 1517 (Valencia, Juan Viñao). El artículo se centra en la función que desempeña en la obra un personaje, san Paulicio, cuyo auxilio se muestra decisivo en determinados momentos de la acción, empezando por el nacimiento de la heroína del relato. Se estudia el posible entronque de este Paulicio de la ficción con personajes históricos y con las vitae de santos eremitas, como san Pablo de Tebas. Y se estudian, asimismo, los motivos folclóricos que coinciden con las marcas de reconocimiento de la santidad de Paulicio: los leones rastreadores de su cadáver, las campanas tañendo solas y la carta agarrada por una man…
« Making Sense of Wilfred Owen’s Keatsian Heritage: “Exposure” and “Ode to a Nightingale” »
2020
Readers of Wilfred Owen usually agree that the war poet’s early admiration for John Keats faded after he enlisted in the army; his poetry then turned against Keats’s. The opening paraphrase of Owen’s poem “Exposure” is thus often read as a rejection and a subversion of the Romantic poet’s “Ode to a Nightingale.” This essay will argue that Owen’s poem can be seen as a radical reversal of Keats’s ode. While “Exposure” is indeed more violent and political than “Ode to a Nightingale,” it does not depart from Keats’s conception of human suffering and of nature. Instead, the war poem builds on Keats’s fleeting description of suffering humanity in “Ode to a Nightingale” and extends it. It also ech…
Marlowe and Company in Barnfield’s <i>Greene’s Funeralls</i> (1594)
2013
The accomplished and daring but minor poet Richard Barnfield (1574-1620) was among the first poets to engage creatively with the works of Greene, Marlowe, and Shakespeare. This article argues that Sonnet 9 in Barnfield’s Greene’s Funeralls (1594) reveals not only his admiration for these literary innovators, but also his difficult manoeuvres on the fringes of the group of poetic rivals. Barnfield’s often-quoted, but not fully understood “sonnet” reflects the young poet’s attempts to accost his more famous contemporaries and also sheds light on the date of composition of Doctor Faustus (B) and the early circulation of Shakespeare’s “sugred sonnets”.
Ierogamie, euritmie e ierotopie mariane in Sicilia. Il "case study" della Madonna dei Miracoli di Caltabellotta (Ag)
2021
Qual’è immagine venerata che resta come traccia mestica nella mente dei fedeli? Quella che tutto l’anno si può osservare sull’altare della chiesa o quella che solo una volta l’anno si può vedere durante la festa patronale? Partendo da queste domande in questo saggio si tracciano le origini di alcune raffigurazioni mariane siciliane, e in particolare del simulacro della Madonna del Soccorso o dei Miracoli di Caltabellotta (AG). È una ricerca ancora in nuce che propone una chiave di lettura dell’iconografia mariana inedita che partendo dall’analisi morfologica e iconografica, passando per la biologia delle immagini di warburghiana memoria, approda all’animismo e alla performance rituali. What…
Potential use of 68Ga-apo-transferrin as a PET imaging agent for detecting Staphylococcus aureus infection.
2010
Abstract Introduction 67 Ga citrate has been extensively used to detect infection and inflammation since 1971. However, its clinical utility is compromised due to several limitations. The present project explored whether 68 Ga- apo -transferrin ( 68 Ga-TF), when prepared in vitro, is a useful agent for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of bacterial infection. Methods An infection was induced in male Wistar rats by injecting 5×10 5 CFU units of Staphyococcus aureus in the right thigh muscle. 68 Ga-TF was synthesized by mixing 68 GaCl 3 with apo -transferrin (TF, 2 mg) in sodium carbonate (0.1 M, pH 7.0) and incubating at 40°C for 1 h. Animals were injected with 10–15 MBq of 68 Ga-TF…
A High Throughput, Minimally Invasive, Ultrasound Guided Model for the Study of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infections and Device Encrustation …
2014
Purpose Catheter associated urinary tract infections are one of the most common health care associated infections. The condition is frequently complicated by encrustation, which blocks the catheter lumen. Preclinical research is limited by the lack of relevant high throughput and cost-effective animal models. Current models are restricted to female mice, associated with major transurethral loss of catheter materials during micturition, highly invasive and complex. We present an ultrasound guided, minimally invasive model that enables catheter associated urinary tract infection and catheter encrustation studies in each mouse gender. Materials and Methods Catheter segments (4 mm) were implant…
Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms: What's New in Medical Treatment?
2018
Abstract Context Pharmacological treatment is a cornerstone in the management of patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS). Objective To review emerging evidence in the medical treatment of LUTS. Evidence acquisition An Embase/Pubmed-based literature search was conducted in December 2017, screening for randomized controlled trials (RCTs), prospective and retrospective series, animal model studies, and reviews on medical treatment of LUTS. Evidence synthesis The main medical innovation in recent years in overactive bladder (OAB) has been the approval of the first β 3 -adrenoceptor agonists (mirabegron) and intradetrusor onabotulinum toxin A, while several other drugs such as antiepil…
