No entanto, a pesquisa concernente à tradução da música pop para fins de entendimento tem sido negligenciada. As diferentes mídias em que letras traduzidas podem ser encontradas no Brasil e os diversos perfis de seus tradutores proporcionam um campo de estudo ainda inexplorado. Esse artigo tem por objetivo estabelecer até que ponto as fontes de acesso às letras traduzidas domesticam ou estrangeirizam os aspectos culturais presentes nas letras do cantor Morrissey. Apesar de não baseado em técnicas acadêmicas, mas em aprendizado empírico, o trabalho coletivo dos fãs produz um texto final de boa qualidade. Palavras-chave: Tradução. Prática metodológica, Cultura.

  • Morrissey Non Va in Tour a Dicembre Di Andrea
    “I know it's over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real...” (The Smiths – I Know It's Over) Intro: Morrissey non va in tour a Dicembre di Andrea Gratton Il 16 dicembre 1991 non è una data particolare per l'uomo Steven Patrick Morrissey. O meglio, non è una data particolare per il Morrissey cantante, ex frontman degli Smiths, icona degli anni ottanta, autore di alcune tra le canzoni più belle che il pop-rock ricordi. Il suo ultimo album ( Kill Uncle , uscito il 4 marzo dello stesso anno per la EMI) non è stato un successo e, a discapito di ciò che Morrissey ha sostenuto nelle diverse interviste promozionali, l'impressione generale è che quei “singoli estemporanei”, raccolti e raffazzonati in un LP, abbiano dato il la al “declino tra virgolette” di Morrissey. Declino che, con la sua strana ed arcinota mescola di sfacciataggine ed apatia, lo stesso cantante rubricava in questi termini: E comunque, chissà perché, gli articoli che mi riguardano, elogi o stroncature che siano, non sono mai noiosi. È sempre una lettura piacevole. 1 1 Morrissey, intervista a “New Musical Express”, 18 maggio 1991, in L'importanza di essere Morrissey (a cura di P. A. Woods), Milano, ISBN edizioni, 2010, p. 190. 1 Seminario Tondelli, Undicesima Edizione, Correggio, Palazzo dei Principi, 17 dicembre 2011. Intervento di Andrea Gratton: Morrisey non va in tour a dicembre . Reduce da un decennio di successi, prima con il gruppo mancuniano degli Smiths, poi come solista, grazie al sorprendente album di debutto Viva Hate , agli inizi degli anni '90 Morrissey sembra giunto al capolinea della sua vita artistica.

  • Morrissey's Art and Persona As a Continuation of Oscar Wilde's Artistic
    Scripta Neophilologica Posnaniensia. Tom XX, strony: 249–261 Wydział Neofilologii, Uniwersytet im. Adama Mickiewicza w Poznaniu, 2020 DOI 10.14746/snp.2020.20.17 “OSCILLATE WILDLY”: MORRISSEY’S ART AND PERSONA AS A CONTINUATION OF OSCAR WILDE’S ARTISTIC LEGACY KAROLINA ADAMSKICH Abstract. The works of Oscar Wilde form a link between late Victorian and modernist literature. His art and wit have continued to exert a great influence on other artists. The art of Morrissey, a legendary poet and singer, may serve as a case in point. Thus, this paper aims at presenting Morrissey’s works and persona as a continuation of Oscar Wilde’s artistic legacy. The article presents their attitude to life and to the process of creation. In view of that, breaking with traditional moral code, the artists’ fascination with beauty, their defense of humanity and all possible freedoms, as well as earnestness of their works, is depicted as the key to the analysis of their art. Thus, the writers’ rebellion against society and modern life, along with propounding aestheticism, will be investigated in this paper. Key words: Oscar Wilde, Morrissey, aestheticism, modernist literature, indie rock Oscar Fingal O’Flahertie Wills Wilde was born in 1854 in Dublin to Lady Jane Wilde and Sir William Wilde. Educated firstly at Portora Royal School in Enniskil- len, he received a scholarship to Trinity College and later on to Oxford. While at Oxford, he studied Classics, which was undoubtedly one of the reasons why he was professing the “doctrine of beauty”. Nevertheless, as Iain Ross (Ross 2013: 21) points out, “[t]he classical texts absorbed constituents of his developing self rather than instruments of academic advancement […]”.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Uncertain Bioethics
    Uncertain Bioethics “Stephen Napier argues with verve and subtlety for a cautious and restrained approach to acts of killing in bioethics; central to his argu- ment is the difficulty of being sure that active interventions are per- missible. This book intriguingly combines insights from a wide variety of different recent philosophical literatures to offer an important and interesting contribution to numerous current debates.” Sophie-Grace Chappell, Professor of Philosophy at Open University, UK Bioethics is a field of inquiry and as such is fundamentally an epistemic discipline. Knowing how we make moral judgments can bring into relief why certain arguments on various bioethical issues appear plausible to one side and obviously false to the other. Uncertain Bioethics makes a significant and distinctive contribution to the bioethics literature by culling the insights from contemporary moral psychology to highlight the epistemic pitfalls and distorting influences on our apprehension of value. Stephen Napier also incorporates research from epistemology addressing pragmatic encroachment and the significance of peer disa- greement to justify what he refers to as epistemic diffidence when one is considering harming or killing human beings. Napier extends these developments to the traditional bioethical notion of dignity and argues that beliefs subject to epistemic diffidence should not be acted upon. He proceeds to apply this framework to traditional and developing issues in bioethics including abortion, stem cell research, euthanasia, decision- making for patients in a minimally conscious state, and risky research on competent human subjects. Stephen Napier is an associate professor of philosophy at Villanova University. His previous publications include Virtue Epistemology: Motivation and Knowledge, and he edited Persons, Moral Worth, and Embryos.
