Lu Xun traduzido em Portugal: um panorama a partir de 1944
Publication . Cheung, Charles Chon Neng
O presente trabalho visa estudar a história da tradução portuguesa de Lu Xun: quem traduziu o quê, quando e porquê? A maioria dos estudos lidos indicam que existem poucas traduções e que todas foram publicadas depois de 1976. Porém, esses mesmos estudos não aprofundam suficientemente os fenómenos tradutórios relativos a este autor. Para construir um panorama, o presente estudo compila um catálogo de Lu Xun traduzido em Portugal através da leitura de estudos anteriores e consulta de catálogos existentes; depois, analisa os paratextos das traduções. O catálogo compilado (nos apêndices I e II) mostra 11 volumes com contos, ensaios e poemas de Lu Xun, publicados entre 1944 e 2014. Os resultados indicam que a razão intemporal de traduzir Lu Xun é o valor literário; contudo, entre 1958 e 1976, a ideologia estimula as traduções. Ademais, são sugeridas várias direções para futuras investigações à volta de Lu Xun em Portugal.

The amazing geometry of price competition with quality dependent production costs
Publication . Pires, Cesaltina Pacheco; Pinho, Joana; Jorge, Sílvia Ferreira; Catalão-Lopes, Margarida
This paper provides a full characterization of price competition in a vertical differentiation model with quality dependent marginal production costs. For each vector of qualities, we determine the Nash equilibrium and show graphically the different market regions for different values of the lowest quality valuation parameter, which reveals an amazing geometry. Besides the classical cases of high-quality monopoly or duopoly with partial or full coverage, we show that, when the high-quality firm has a too high quality, the equilibrium is a low-quality monopoly. Moreover, for positive lowest quality valuation, there always exist interior and corner full coverage duopoly equilibria. On the contrary, partial coverage duopoly do not exist when the lowest consumers’ valuation of quality is high whereas high-quality monopoly are not possible for low values of lowest quality valuation. Our findings are the backbone of future analysis of quality choices and may be relevant for firms and policy makers.
