Plate Boundary Deformation

To accommodate the relative motion across the North American-Pacific plate boundary predicted by global plate solutions, significant deformation on faults other than the San Andreas is necessary. In central California, this deformation is thought to include distributed compression perpendicular to the San Andreas as well as right-lateral strike-slip motion parallel to the San Andreas on faults such as the San Gregorio/Hosgri system. A self-consistent set of VLBI observations from experiments beginning in October 1982 is used to determine the vector rate of change of station position at central California VLBI sites Ovro, Mojave, Vandenberg, Fort Ord, Presidio, and Point Reyes. To estimate VLBI station positions, a procedure is used that minimizes the uncertainties in defining a reference frame by including a priori geologic and geodetic information. The vector rate of change of station positions provides constraints on the integrated deformation rates between stations. Geologic and geophysical data suggest that the rate and mode of deformation varies on both local and regional scales. Thus, the VLBI derived results are interpreted in the context of an overall tectonic framework by examining geologic and ground-based geodetic data.

Gender Indeterminacy in Translation: the Case of R. L. Stine’s Give Yourself Goosebumps Gamebooks via Portuguese Translation

As works of fction, gamebooks offer narrative-bound choices – the reader generally takes on the role of a character inserted in the narrative itself, with gamebooks consequently tending towards being a story told in the second-person perspective. In pursuance of this aim, they can, in some cases, adopt gender-neutral language as regards grammatical gender, which in turn poses a translation challenge when rendering the texts into Portuguese, a language strongly marked by grammatical gender. Stemming from an analysis of a number of gamebooks in R. L. Stine’s popular Give Yourself Goosebumps series, this article seeks to understand how gender indeterminacy (when present) is kept in translation, while examining the strategies used to this effect by Portuguese translators – and particularly how ideas of implied readership come into play in the dialogue between the North-American and Portuguese literary systems.

Offensive Strategies

This research investigated the role of two foci of identification (team and territory) on identity management strategies used by sport followers in the particular context of elite French rugby union. In study 1 which dealt with casual spectators (N = 153), the results corroborated numerous studies conducted in the North-American context and showed that team identification constitutes a strong driver for offensive and loyalty reactions. In study 2 which dealt with die-hard fans (N = 64), it appeared that team identification seems to be the best predictor of team loyalty strategy whereas territorial identification seems to be the first predictor of offensive strategies. Taken together, the studies showed the importance of considering the specific context in which sport fanship takes place.
