DOWNLOAD EBOOKMaster's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Interpreting / Translating , grade: 1,0, Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz (Fachbereich 06 Translations-, Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaft in Germersheim), course: Masterarbeit, language: Italian, abstract: In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird die Publikation "Slovenology: Living and Traveling in the World’s Best Country von Noah Charney" analysiert und thematisch eingeordnet, und ausgewählte Fragmente daraus ins Italienische übersetzt und kommentiert. Anhand der Analyse, die mithilfe von Gérard Genettes Publikation "Paratexte: Das Buch vom Beiwerk des Buches" erfolgt, werden erstmal die Hauptcharakteristiken von Charneys Publikation verdeutlicht und vertieft. Diese sind Multimedialität (des Textes und um den Text herum), mehrgenrige Eigenschaften (Autobiografie, Tagebuch, Blog, Reiseführer) und Illustrationen (die mit dem Text interagieren). Anhand der Einordnung werden die Themen des touristischen Diskurses und der touristischen Übersetzung sowie des Schreibens über Europa (vonseiten Charneys und Henry James’) und der gastronomischen Übersetzung kurz angesprochen. Die für die Masterarbeit ausgewählten Fragmente sind dann ins Italienische übersetzt und anhand der im Übersetzungsprozess aufgetretenen Komplexitäten kommentiert worden, wie etwa sprachenpaarbezogener Übersetzungsschwierigkeiten Englisch- Italienisch, der Informalität und Spontaneität von Charneys Schreiben, Charneys teilweise unklaren Schreibstils, Ungenauigkeiten im Text vonseiten Charneys, tourismusspezifischer Schwierigkeiten und (US-amerikanischer und slowenischer) kulturspezifischer Realien. Außerdem wird am Ende ein fiktiver Kostenvoranschlag für eine hypothetische Übersetzung der kompletten Publikation Charneys präsentiert. L’obiettivo principale del lavoro legato a questa tesi di magistrale è quello di ana-lizzare, inquadrare, tradurre e commentare la pubblicazione di Noah Charney Slo-venology: Living and Traveling in the World’s Best Country. Per via delle specificità legate alla traduzione a partire dall’inglese e verso l’ita-liano, la tesi è redatta in lingua italiana; tuttavia, anche il tedesco giocherà un ruolo importante in alcune osservazioni, in particolar modo nel capitolo dedicato al com-mento del processo traduttivo generale e della traduzione italiana – che verrà spesso comparata alla traduzione tedesca ufficiale della suddetta pubblicazione (oltre che anche alla traduzione slovena ufficiale). This thesis is mainly written in Italian. There are also German and English parts.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhat Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential did for the world of chefs and restaurants, Making It does for the art world. Making It is a gonzo memoir of an established artist crossed with objective advice, tips and tricks fleshed out by a best-selling art historian and Pulitzer finalist writer on art. It peels back the shroud and reveals the highs and struggles in the life and career of a working artist. Specifically aimed at aspiring artists and art students, it will be of interest to anyone who wants to know what it is like to have an artist’s-eye-view of the art world, asking the tough and often glossed-over questions that rising artists inevitably have, not only about the creative process, but about navigating the turbulent waters of the social, professional, academic, critical, museum and trade elements of a career as a visual artist. How best to deal with the abundance of alcohol, drugs and sex while wire-walking your own artistic dilemmas? How can an artist launch his or her career and help it flourish? What’s it like to achieve every artist’s dream, including showing at the Venice Biennale? What does it really mean to "make it" and how can you maintain your groove once you’ve arrived? All these questions and more are answered in this combination tell-all memoir and how-to manual for rising artists and anyone wanting a behind-the-scenes tour of what it’s like to be an artist.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK"It’s an in-depth look at varied time periods and artists, which readers interested in gossip, drama, or art history will enjoy." Library Journal, Starred Review Scandal, shock and rivalry all have negative connotations, don’t they? They can be catastrophic to businesses and individual careers. A whiff of scandal can turn a politician into a smoking ruin. But these potentially disastrous “negatives” can and have spurred the world of fine art to new heights. A look at the history of art tells us that rivalries have, in fact, not only benefited the course of art, from ancient times to the present, but have also helped shape our narrative of art, lending it a sense of drama that it might otherwise lack, and therefore drawing the interest of a public who might not be drawn to the objects alone. There would be no Sistine Chapel by Michelangelo had rival Raphael not tricked the pope into assigning him the commission, certain that Michelangelo, who had never before worked with frescoes, would botch the job and become a laughing stock. Scandal and shock have proven to be powerful weapons when harnessed and wielded willfully and well. That scandal is good for exposure has been so obviously the case that many artists have courted it intentionally, which we will define as shock: intentionally overturning expectations of the majority in a way that traditionalist find dismaying or upsetting, but which a certain minority avant-garde find exciting. From Damien Hirst presenting the public with a shark embalmed in formaldehyde and entombed in a glass case to Marcel Duchamp trying to convince the art community that a urinal is a great sculpture shock has been a key promotional tool. The Devil in the Gallery is a guided tour of the history of art through it scandals, rivalries, and shocking acts, each of which resulted in a positive step forward for art in general and, in most cases, for the careers of the artists in question. In addition to telling dozens of stories, lavishly illustrated in full color, of such dramatic moments and arguing how they not only affected the history of art but affected it for the better, we will also examine the proactive role of the recipients of these intentionally dramatic actions: The art historians, the critics and even you, the general public. The Devil likes to lurk in dark corners of the art world, morphing into many forms. Let us shed light upon him.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK“Readers curious about the making of Renaissance art, its cast of characters and political intrigue, will find much to relish in these pages.” —Wall Street Journal Giorgio Vasari (1511–1574) was a man of many talents—a sculptor, painter, architect, writer, and scholar—but he is best known for Lives of the Artists, which singlehandedly established the canon of Italian Renaissance art. Before Vasari’s extraordinary book, art was considered a technical skill, and artists were mere decorators and craftsmen. It was through Vasari’s visionary writings that Raphael, Leonardo, and Michelangelo came to be regarded as great masters of life as well as art, their creative genius celebrated as a divine gift. Lauded by Sarah Bakewell as “insightful, gripping, and thoroughly enjoyable,” The Collector of Lives reveals how one Renaissance scholar completely redefined how we look at art.
