The objective is to present the aspects of a humorous text that the translator can analyze in order to translate it from one language and culture into another without losing the humor’s primordial function: the reader’s laughter. For this purpose, a study about the theoretical reflections regarding the humor was carried out. Then, the translation was made from English into Portuguese of eleven chapters of the book “Akward situations for men” written by Danny Wallace (2010), and finally a detailed description was presented about the humorous text aspects that are relevant for this kind of translation. The translations and observations made during the translation procedure show that cultural knowledge is indispensable to translate a humorous text and keep its same humoristic effect on the reader.

Das Ziel ist die Aspekte eines humoristischen Texts zu zeigen, die ein Übersetzer beachten kann, um einen solchen Text von einer Sprache und Kultur in eine Andere zu übersetzen ohne das es die ursprüngliche Funktion verliert, welche lautet: das Lachen des Lesers. Zu diesem Zweck wurde eine Studie über die theoretischen Reflexionen durchgeführt. Dann wurde die Übersetzung vom Englischen ins Portugiesische von elfen Kapiteln des Buches „Akward situations for men“ von Danny Wallace (2010) getätigt und letztendlich wurde eine ausführliche Beschreibung über die Aspekte eines humoristischen Textes dargestellt, die relevant für diese Art von Übersetzung sind. Die Bemerkungen, welche während des Übersetzungsablaufs gemacht wurden, zeigen, dass die kulturelle Kenntnis unentbehrlich ist, um einen humoristischen Text zu übersetzen und somit denselben humoristischen Effekt beim Leser zu bewahren. Schlüsselwörter: Humor; Übersetzung; Humoristischer Text; Übersetzung von Humor; Kulturelles Kenntnis; Kulturellen Zeichen. 10 RÉSUMÉ Ce travail académique s’approche aux certaines notions essentielles liées à l’humour, quelques de ses principaux théories et les stratégies utilisées dans sa traduction.

Ensuite, la traduction de l’anglais en portugais des onze chapitres du livre “Awkward situations for men” de Danny Wallace (2010) a été realisée et, finalement, une description détaillée sur les aspects du texte de départ qui sont pertinentes pour ce type de traduction.

  • Dave Gorman's Important Astrology Experiment
    AVALON PUBLIC RELATIONS PRESS INFORMATION DAVE GORMAN’S IMPORTANT ASTROLOGY EXPERIMENT DAVE GORMAN’S IMPORTANT ASTROLOGY EXPERIMENT Every day millions of people consult their horoscopes. Is it wise to follow the advice of astrologers? The world of science has not been brave enough to answer this question. Until now. Step forward DAVE GORMAN (Pisces). He’s a multi award-winning comedian, but in this brand new series he’s also an ‘unorthodox experimental scientist’ on a real life comic adventure into the world of astrology. For 40 days and 40 nights DAVE GORMAN has given up normal life. Instead he has scoured the horoscopes of 20 leading astrologers. His task – to follow their advice. To ignore speculation, prediction and guesswork, but at all times to follow instruction and pursue luck. A control experiment, a man born at the same time and in the same place has ignored his horoscopes. Whose life will turn out better? Over six, thirty-minute episodes on BBC TWO, Dave will present the evidence to an astrologically balanced studio audience. Receiving help and guidance from three world-renowned, independent experts in the fields of Love, Health and Wealth – DENISE ROBERTSON (TV agony aunt and Gemini), HILARY JONES (TV doctor and Gemini) and ALVIN HALL (TV financial advisor and Cancer) – the audience will then vote on whether DAVE’S or the control’s life is turning out better. Whatever the result, we guarantee it will verify that, in DAVE’S world at least truth is stranger than fiction. Dave Gorman’s Important Astrology Experiment is a BBC Production.

    National Character 111: Northern Thames Basin Area profile: Supporting documents www.naturalengland.org.uk 1 National Character 111: Northern Thames Basin Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform their decision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The information they contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

  • The Nature of Tomorrow: Inbreeding in Industrial Agriculture and Evolutionary Thought in Britain and the United States, 1859-1925
    The Nature of Tomorrow: Inbreeding in Industrial Agriculture and Evolutionary Thought in Britain and the United States, 1859-1925 By Theodore James Varno A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor John E. Lesch, Chair Professor Cathryn L. Carson Professor Stephen E. Glickman Fall 2011 The Nature of Tomorrow: Inbreeding in Industrial Agriculture and Evolutionary Thought in Britain and the United States, 1859-1925 © 2011 By Theodore James Varno 1 Abstract The Nature of Tomorrow: Inbreeding in Industrial Agriculture and Evolutionary Thought in Britain and the United States, 1859-1925 By Theodore James Varno Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor John E. Lesch, Chair Historians of science have long recognized that agricultural institutions helped shape the first generation of geneticists, but the importance of academic biology to scientific agriculture has remained largely unexplored. This dissertation charts the relationship between evolutionary thought and industrial agriculture from Charles Darwin’s research program of the nineteenth century through the development of professional genetics in the first quarter of the twentieth century. It does this by focusing on a single topic that was important simultaneously to evolutionary thinkers as a conceptual challenge and to agriculturalists as a technique for modifying organism populations: the intensive inbreeding of livestock and crops. Chapter One traces zoological inbreeding and botanical self-fertilization in Darwin’s research from his articles published in The gardeners’ chronicle in the 1840s and 1850s through his The effects of cross and self fertilisation in the vegetable kingdom of 1876.

  • Little, Brown and Company
    LITTLE, BROWN AND COMPANY SEPTEMBER 2OO9 THROUGH MARCH 2O1O LITTLE, BROWN • BACK BAY BOOKS • REAGAN ARTHUR BOOKS • ORBIT Dear friends, Two new logos make their debut in the life of Little, Brown this season. On the catalog cover you’ll see a new logo for Little, Brown and Company, our fi rst in more than 50 years. Our beloved old logo, an image of Boston’s Bulfi nch monument, struggled to be visible at the sizes required by many modern uses. Th e graphic artist Lance Hidy created the vivid, typewriter key–based logo you see: highlighting the company’s founders’ initials, honoring the writing process that is the source of all our endeavors, and featuring a classic look to suggest our long history. We are thrilled by its simplicity, strength, and adaptability, and I hope you will come to look to it as an imprimatur of quality writing, bookmaking, and publishing. On page 39 you will see the beautiful logo of Reagan Arthur Books. Reagan Arthur, in case you haven’t met her, is one of the most astute, admired, and eff ective (and relentlessly charming!) editors in publishing today. In less than 10 years she has brought us many of Little, Brown’s most brilliant and bestselling writers: Kate Atkinson, Josh Bazell, Kate Braestrup, Joshua Ferris, Elin Hilderbrand, Kathleen Kent, Elizabeth Kostova, Denise Mina, George Pelecanos, Ian Rankin, Dan Simmons, and many, many others. Her name has come to signify great writing that sells. We are honored to place that name on our books and excited to see all the superb writers she will bring out in the years ahead.
