SCANDERBEG, indimenticato condottiero d’Occidente

CENACVLERIA DVRACRVXIANA's blog

Giorgio Castriota Scanderbeg, Croia, 6 maggio 1405 – Alessio, 17 gennaio 1468) è stato un grande condottiero d’Occidente, e uno strenuo difensore di cristianità latino-bizantina e territorialità europea.

Resistette per 25 a difesa dell’Europa e della fede cristiana dall’invasione ottomana; per tale motivo ottenne da Papa Callisto III gli appellativi di “Atleta di Cristo” e “Difensore della Fede“.

La prima biografia di Giorgio Castriota è opera di Marin Barleti, un sacerdote cattolico di Scutari, suo contemporaneo.

Parole intraducibili, la designer neozelandese Anjana Iyer prova a “spiegarle” disegnandole

eyes wide open

Leggendo e traducendo un testo in un’ altra lingua, si incontrano non solo parole di cui non si conosce il significato, ma anche parole che non hanno una traduzione precisa nella nostra lingua e richiedono una ricerca minuziosa per comprenderne a pieno il significato e riuscire a renderne il senso nella maniera più efficace possibile. Questo spesso è dovuto alle grandi differenze culturali che inevitabilmente si riflettono anche sulla lingua. Differenze alcune volte talmente profonde da portare alla creazione di parole per determinate azioni, abitudini, usanze ben precise che non hanno un corrispettivo in altre lingue. Ad esempio qualcosa talmente importante per gli spagnoli da meritare un termine specifico potrebbe non essere stata minimamente presa in considerazione dagli inglesi. Ci si trova di fronte a quelle parole “intraducibili” che possono essere “spiegate” ad esempio attraverso perifrasi.
