  • Intralingual Translation in Brazilian Road Films
    Nayara Helou Chubaci Güércio 19327727 The Traveller as a Translator: Intralingual Translation in Brazilian Road Films Trinity College Dublin MPhil in Literary Translation 2020 Supervised by Dr. Michael Cronin DECLARATION I declare that this dissertation has not been submitted as an exercise for a degree at this or any other university and that it is entirely my own work. I agree that the Library may lend or copy this dissertation on request. Nayara Helou Chubaci Güércio 03/09/2020 The Traveller as a Translator: Intralingual Translation in Brazilian Road Films Nayara Helou Chubaci Güércio This dissertation aims at answering the following question: what are the visual and thematic choices in the representation of intralingual translation in Brazilian cinematic travel narratives? The corpus of analysis is comprised by the films: Central Station (Water Salles, 1998) and Cinema, Aspirins and Vultures (Marcelo Gomes, 2005). This study hopes to continue the research developed in the books Translation Goes to the Movies (Cronin 2009) and Across the Lines: Travel, Language, Translation (Cronin 2000). This research subscribes to the logical system of deduction and it is categorised as a basic empirical study. The materials used are from bibliographical and audiovisual sources. The chosen method of analysis is an interpretation of Casetti & Di Chio’s (1998: 126) methodological proposal for analysing the filmic text, which are: isolation, identification and interpretation. The categories of analysis are Cronin’s (2006: 131) three levels in which intralingual translation can occur. After the analysis, it is concluded that the thematic choices in the representation of intralingual translation in Brazilian cinematic travel narratives revolve around: 1) the effects of intralingual translation in each of the travellers’ identities; 2) the role of intralingual translation in the relationship forged between the two travellers and; 3) the role of intralingual translation in the relationship forged between the travellers and other characters.

  • Decision of the IOC Executive Board
    Decision of the IOC Executive Board The IOC Executive Board (EB) today deliberated on the findings of the Schmid Commission addressing the systematic manipulation of the anti-doping system in Russia prior to this decision. The Commission’s report also addresses the manipulation of the anti-doping laboratory at the Olympic Winter Games Sochi 2014, which targeted the Olympic Games directly. The EB approved the Commission’s report. Now that due process has been followed, and the right to be heard has been granted, the EB, following the recommendations of the Schmid Commission, took the following decisions: I. To suspend the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) with immediate effect. II. To invite individual Russian athletes to the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018 according to the following guidelines: 1. The invitation list will be determined, at its absolute discretion, by a panel chaired by Valerie Fourneyron, Chair of the ITA. The panel will include members of the Pre-Games Testing Task Force: one appointed by WADA, one by the DFSU and one by the IOC, Dr Richard Budgett. 2. This panel will be guided in its decisions by the following principles: a) It can only consider athletes who have qualified according to the qualification standards of their respective sports. b) Athletes must be considered clean to the satisfaction of this panel: - Athletes must not have been disqualified or declared ineligible for any Anti-Doping Rule Violation. - Athletes must have undergone all the pre-Games targeted tests recommended by the Pre-Games Testing Task Force. - Athletes must have undergone any other testing requirements specified by the panel to ensure a level playing field.

    PRESS PACK WINTER 2020 / 2021 savoie mont blanc Located between lakes and mountains, Savoie Mont Blanc is a beautiful area for a winter break. Savoie Mont Blanc has 110 ski resorts, including some world-famous ones such as Val d’Isère, Méribel, Courchevel, Chamonix… and many more. But there are also some smaller ones, which are not well-known by British skiers. This winter could be the ideal time to visit a smaller resort for alpine skiing and also to try some other winter sport activities, such as cross-country skiing or snowshoeing. These eco-friendly activities are the perfect way to peacefully enjoy the beautiful vistas and the pure mountain air, while coming back super-fit from your holiday. If you opt for slow travel, why not stop for a few nights before or after going to a ski resort? There are many charming hotels in the pretty towns of Chambéry, Aix-les-Bains and Annecy, as well as by the lakes and in the vineyards. In the valleys and mountains, more and more hotels and residences are eco-friendly. This sustainable trend is being taken up by restaurants too, which are offering more and more organic, local and seasonal produce. Whatever type of winter holiday you choose, Savoie Mont Blanc is the perfect place to reboot and feel re-energised once back home. Savoie Mont Blanc is easy to access by plane (airports include Chambéry, Grenoble, Lyon and Geneva) and car. Although there is no Snowtrain this winter, Savoie Mont Blanc is still easily accessible by train: take the Eurostar to Paris or Lille, then the TGV to Chambéry or Annecy (it takes less than 3 hours from Paris to Chambéry and less than 4 hours for Annecy).

It recalls sliding sports and France with its colours as well as the olympic spirit with the flame inspired by the Savoie cross and the olympic rings. So as to integrate the olympic emblem (text, rings), a deep graphic study was made. The official logo of the 1992 Winter Olympics Games consists of three inseparable elements : - a symbol, "the flame", - a typography "Albertville 92", - the olympic rings which according to the IOC olympic charter, "represent the union of the five continents and the meeting of athletes of the whole world on the occasion of the Olympic Games in a spirit of loyal competition and friendship, ideal praised by the Baron de Coubertin".
