中译意文学作品在意大利的翻译出版刍议

意大利与中国有着悠久的文学交流史,近几年来中国文学作品在意大利的翻译量和出版发行量不断增加,作品传播呈现出多元化、频繁化趋势。中国作家的写作风格,在对象国的知名度和认可度很大程度上影响着译文读者对其作品的选择;不同的译者对中国文学作品所呈现的社会现实有着不同的映照和体悟,译者的观察视角、个人好恶都会影响他对翻译作品的选择;意大利的出版社和出版机构出于各种原因也开始注重中国文学作品的出版发行和研究;意大利的公共传媒对中国的关注度不断升温,各种报道不断吸引读者的注意力,这些都直接或间接地推动了中国文学作品在意大利的传播。从作者、译者、出版社、传媒等四个维度入手来探讨中国现当代文学在意大利的传播,可对扩大中国文学作品在海外的传播和影响力提供参考。     

Drivers of biodiversity patterns in parks of a growing South American megacity

How urban habitats contribute to biodiversity conservation is a key challenge in a rapidly urbanising world. Urban parks can provide important habitats for native species, but previous studies are geographically biased; fast growing megacities, in particular in South America, are clearly understudied. To assess habitat functions and underlying drivers in parks of Santiago de Chile, we analysed the assemblages of wild growing plant species in two ubiquitous park habitat types (grasslands, wooded areas) in 15 parks (150 plots) along an urban-rural gradient. We first used linear contrasts to compare species richness, beta diversity and the proportion of introduced species. We then tested for the explanatory value of environmental variables operating at different spatial scales (plot, park, urban matrix). Unlike in most previous studies, biodiversity patterns were not related to the position of the parks on the urban-rural gradient. Introduced species, mostly from Europe, generally dominated both habitat types (>90 %). Socio-economic (population growth or density), but not spatial, variables were retained in most models. Maintenance intensity was most influential in predicting species assemblages, complemented by park age in wooded areas. A high proportion of European grassland species indicates a trend of homogenisation in park grassland at a cross-continental scale. We conclude that habitat functions of urban parks for native species that have been mainly demonstrated for Europe cannot be generalised to South American megacities. This highlights the need for innovative and locally appropriate conservation approaches (e.g., re-introduction of native species) to foster biodiversity functions in urban parks of South American megacities.     

Kooperative Resilienz – ein soziotechnischer Ansatz durch Kooperationstechnologien im KrisenmanagementCooperative resilience – a sociotechnical approach through cooperation technologies in crisis management

Whilst the concept of resilience in engineering is mainly focussed on the availability of technical systems, we rather see resilience as socio-technical construct and show opportunities to encourage cooperative resilience with the help of cooperation technologies. After a general definition of resilience in our application field of emergency management and in the context of cooperative structures, we present our methodology and the developed cooperation technologies. They address the collaboration of diverse players (such as police, fire department, and citizen) in major emergencies. Finally we discuss the input of this technology for cooperative resilience to overcome crises of cooperation with the help of adaptability to modified realities by means of cooperation technology.
