Tłumacząc polską fantasy – wyzwania i problemy tłumaczeniowe związane z elementami kulturowymi
 Niniejszy artykuł porusza kwestię trudności i problemów, które może napotkać tłumacz podczas przekładu polskich powieści z gatunku fantasy na język angielski.

Il Cabinet d'amateur di Georges Perec
2011
In 1979 one year after the publication of La vie mode d’emploi, George Perec wrote Cabinet d’amateur. Histoire d’un tableau, in which he tells the story of a painting belonging to the genre of the cabinet d’amateur, also known as kunst- und wunderkammer. It is a collection of different paintings, usually belonging to a rich man or a notable, portrayed (once again) in a single picture celebrating the magnificence of this more or less real collection. As for the pictorial genre, so the short novel is the celebration of the images collected by George Perec in his previous masterpiece, La vie mode d’emploi. This is why I assume this work to be referable to the genre of structural homology more …
Measurement of the will to live in older adults: Transcultural adaptation, validity and reliability of the Will-to-Live Scale

<i>Aims:</i> The main aims of the study were the translation and the subsequent validation in Italian of the Addenbrooke’s Cognitive Examination Revised (ACE-R), and the evaluation of its usefulness in discriminating cognitively normal subjects from patients with mild dementia in an elderly population. <i>Methods:</i> The ACE-R was translated and adapted into Italian. The Italian ACE-R was administered to a group of 179 elderly subjects (72 cognitively healthy and 107 subjects with mild dementia, mean age 75.4 ± 6.4 years). The group was stratified into two subsamples according to age, i.e. a young-old (<75 years) and an old-old (≧75 years) group, in order to eval…
The Latvian version of the Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR).
2017
The Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR) is a new parent/patient reported outcome measure that enables a thorough assessment of the disease status in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We report the results of the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the parent and patient versions of the JAMAR in the Latvian language. The reading comprehension of the questionnaire was tested in 10 JIA parents and patients. Each participating centre was asked to collect demographic, clinical data and the JAMAR in 100 consecutive JIA patients or all consecutive patients seen in a 6-month period and to administer the JAMAR to 100 healthy children and their paren…

Partiamo con un confronto che, incentrato su Max Fox o le relazioni pericolose di Sergio Luzzatto (2019), si dilata in ragionamento sul rapporto tra etica e letteratura e sulle caratteristiche della non fiction contemporanea.
Latvian Translation Scene at the Turn of the 19th and 20th Century
2020
The paper looks at the Latvian translation scene at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. It is a continuation of the study of translation history in Latvia reflected in previous issues of Vertimo studijos (vol. 7, 8, 11). These decades are marked by a huge growth of translation, especially in periodicals. German was gradually losing its dominant position as a source and intermediate language, Russian was advancing, so was also the scope of other languages. In contrast to previous periods there was a particular interest in the quality of the originals and modernity.This period also saw a change of generations among translators, and women became visible in translation sc…
Questo non è un flashback: frontiere della metalessi
2018
Se Gérard Genette ha contribuito in modo determinante all’annessione della metalessi dagli studi di retorica agli studi di narratologia, è stato ancora più responsabile della marcata deriva cinematografica di quegli stessi studi. Tra tanti suggerimenti ampiamente accolti dagli studiosi, forse alcune provocazioni sono però rimaste nell’ombra: il modo in cui parola e immagine interagiscono nella visualizzazione di racconti e ricordi sono stati riletti come altrettanti giochi metalettici. A poco a poco la metalessi ha finito per espandere i suoi confini, colonizzando i più insospettabili territori della rappresentazione filmica. Non sarà forse il caso di accettarne la sfida per disegnare una p…
Verso l’«inesplorato fondo dell’io». De Roberto e la psicologia fin de siècle
2021
Il saggio mira ad analizzare le modalità con cui Federico De Roberto rappresenta e indaga il «fondo dell’incosciente», sulla scia delle acquisizioni della scienza e della psicologia coeve. A interessare lo scrittore non sono esclusivamente le dinamiche dell’ereditarietà, bensì i meccanismi occulti della psiche. I personaggi derobertiani sono agiti da impulsi irrazionali e involontari, che non riescono a governare ma che ne determinano i comportamenti. Inoltre, in anticipo sul Modernismo, De Roberto ritiene che qualsiasi raffigurazione verosimile del reale risulti sempre parziale, perché filtrata attraverso la lente deformante della soggettività. Nel trattato L’Amore. Fisiologia - Psicologia…
