Download or read book Investigating Translation written by Allison Beeby Lonsdale and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2000-01-01 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together a selection of papers presented at an international conference on Translation Studies in Barcelona in 1998. The papers illustrate four areas that are of particular interest in translation research today in Europe, Asia and Latin America. The purpose of the first section, 'Investigating Translation Paradigms', is to reach a critical revision of existing paradigms and to develop new ones in approaching the translated text. The second section, 'Investigating the Translation Process', focuses on the skills, knowledge and strategies that make up translation competence. The third section, 'Investigating Translation and Ideology' addresses not only the 'invisible' influence of ideologies on the translator, but also the role of translators in transmitting ideology. The fourth section, 'Investigating Translation Receivers' envisages translators as communicators caught between the opposing trends of localisation and globalisation. This tension can be seen in the selection of the papers, some of which reflect on research carried out in recently established translation centres in Spain, while others discuss the latest work of scholars from long established centres in other countries.

Download or read book Isaac Alb niz written by Walter Aaron Clark and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Walter Aaron Clark here presents, for the first time in English, a detailed and accurate account of one of the most intriguing figures in the Romantic period. Isaac Albeniz (1860-1909), a renowned concert pianist, created a national style of Spanish piano music and also fostered the growth of the concerto, orchestral music, and opera in Spain. As a touring child prodigy who supposedly stowed away on a steamer to the New World, later studied with Liszt, and eventually got ensnared in a "Faustian pact" with the wealthy English librettist, Frances Burdett Money-Coutts, Albeniz has become somewhat of a legend. Based on a wealth of new and previously overlooked documentary evidence, this biography debunks the mythology surrounding his career, much of it spun by the composer himself.

Download or read book Censorship of Historical Thought written by Antoon De Baets and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-12-30 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: History is an important, dangerous, and fragile subject. Historical thought can be censored in widely diverging political and historiographical contexts, as historians are well aware. Yet the problems of censorship, often thought to be obvious, are rarely studied. Filling a significant void, this guide supplies information on the censorship of historical thought and the fate of persecuted historians in over 130 countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and from 1945 to 2000. With each entry providing a chronological overview of cases and giving a full listing of sources, the book is the first systematic effort to overview the repression of historical thought. Aiming to encompass all countries in which censorship and persecution have taken place, De Baets sketches a world map of repression that goes beyond the well-known and well-studied cases. It assembles scattered data from three types of sources: the works of censors and censored, historical and biographical dictionaries and historiographical surveys, and reports from international human rights organizations. Showing the universality of historical censorship and its infinite variety in amount and degree, the book also provides a basis for further comparative research.

Download or read book El Hombre Azar o Dise o written by José Francisco Martinez Garcia and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "El hombre ¿azar o diseño?" En esta obra se hace una exposición sucinta de fenómenos y elementos materiales que conforman el universo y, por tanto, también al ser humano, como un ser que tiene cuerpo y vida, y por ello sometido a leyes físicas y biológicas, pero que se desempeña trascendiendo esta clase de leyes. El hombre no puede tener su origen sólo en la materia bruta. Los acontecimientos del cosmos que le preceden, tampoco justifican suficientemente su existencia y su naturaleza, que desborda y trasciende la materia. Siendo el hombre un ser inteligente, su existencia demanda una causa inteligente, superior a él, causa que no se encuentra ni en el azar ni en la materia. En este entramado se conjugan la filosofía, la ciencia, el arte, la historia y la religión.

Download or read book En Armon a con la Ley written by Calixto Acosta and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-10 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: EL VOCABLO "ley" ha sido a menudo citado en sentido deprimente y despectivo. Considerándo la ley como un yugo inaguantable, o un código arcaico y fuera de uso, el liberalismo religioso ha querido verla abolida, o por lo menos reducida en sus pre- ceptos y demandas. Ello está a tono con la naturaleza humana en discordia con el Espíritu divino. Pero Jesucristo nunca la dio por obsoleta, y sus discípulos la integraron en la esencia de su enseñanza. Un estudio sobrio, detenido, puede revelarnos el lado positivo y benevolente de la Ley (amada por judíos y cristianos) así como su relación armónica con la función de la gracia divina. Ello nos permitirá ver también los usos erróneos y los malentendidos teológicos a que la Ley ha sido sometida, así como su verdadera misión dentro del campo de la ética cristiana, la moral práctica y la legislación universal.

Download or read book Preludios written by Santiago Miralles Huete and published by Turner. This book was released on 2016-04 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ¿De qué hablaban Mozart y Da Ponte mientras componían? ¿Qué palabras amargas se dijeron Verdi y el duque de Rivas frente al Teatro Real de Madrid en la víspera de estrenar La forza del destino? ¿Por qué dejaron de compartir habitación Musorsgky y Rimsky-Korsakov? ¿Tenía envidia Haendel de Bach, o tenía miedo, o solo le dio pereza recibirle y por eso nunca llegaron ni a saludarse? ¿Cómo se tomaba Liszt las críticas de Berlioz? ¿Qué dijo Schubert, un poco borracho, el día del entierro de Beethoven? Las respuestas a estas preguntas... no las tenemos con certeza. Pero el autor de este libro las ha imaginado ayudado por las cartas, las biografías, los testimonios de la época y la obra de los compositores y artistas que protagonizan este libro. Con verdadera admiración y cariño hacia sus personajes, buen pulso narrativo, sentido del humor y atención al detalle, Santiago Miralles Huete firma 24 preludios (y una inesperada "fuga" final) que componen una historia de la música clásica. Alternativa, literaria, imaginada si se quiere, pero fiel y documentada. Un verdadero festín para melómanos de todos los géneros y todas las edades.

Download or read book Mapirip N Sin Perd N y Sin Olvido written by Teniente Coronel C and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2012-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Like Judge Cortes, Major Orozco was not part of the conspiracy. He was unaware that he was to be the fall guy who would take the blame when the news of the massacre broke. Unwittingly, Major Orozco played his role perfectly. He promised Judge Cortes that he would inform the general in charge of the region and request reinforcements. Immediately, he sent a report to General Jaime Uscátegui...He recommended sending three battalions in three helicopters... Nothing was done." "Orozco's crime was clear: He told the truth. "In a system like the one that exists in Colombia, the truth ruins everyone's prospects and accounts for the high level of indifference and silence, since no one will risk saying anything for fear of losing what they have." Robin Kirk. More Terrible than Death. New York, 2003. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "En todo esto se deduce claramente que el coronel (r) Hernán Orozco pretendió en todo momento evitar la masacre y otras posibles, pero que No contaba con el poder necesario para evitarla. Sin embargo lo condenan como ya dije, como "chivo expiatorio" por haber sido el oficial del Ejército Colombiano con menor rango y poder militar, y a partir de ahí tratar de lograr que exoneren al General Uscátegui que es el extremo opuesto de Orozco, es decir con ostensible mayor peso social, financiero y sobre todo político." Apreciado Hernan Orozco Castro: "Mi opinión personal es que usted no es un asesino, ya que obligados a aterrizar en San Jose del Guaviare, Colombia, luego de la primera masacre de Mapiripan en una avioneta piloteada por Sonia Pérez; se nos respetó a mi familia y a mi (Esposa e hijos) el derecho a la vida, en la conversación personal que sostuvimos en algún Restaurante de esa ciudad, tanto usted, su esposa, su amigo el médico y esposa, me parecieron gente decente. Sigo pensando que a usted lo utilizaron como chivo expiatorio. Fuerza y entereza, usted es honesto y también tuvo el valor de decir la verdad. No creo que usted sea cómplice de los narco paramilitares..." Leonardo Ivan Cortes Novoa. Ex juez de Mapiripán en el exilio forzoso. Sábado, Diciembre 26, 2009 12:51 PM ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "La ley que rige en la guerra y en los conflictos internos en Colombia, de obligado conocimiento para un general de la república dada su formación, rango, especialidad y entrega a la vida militar y dentro del contexto de la actual realidad nacional, el General Uscátegui tenía la obligación a partir de la más simple sensatez, saber que si no actuaba ante la información recibida el mismísimo día 15 de julio... contribuía por omisión crasa... a la masacre de Mapiripan." Magistrada Amelia Mantilla Villegas. Agosto 18 de 1999. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Repárese que la sola existencia del oficio cuyo contenido hace referencia a esa especial situación de Mapiripan, con ocasión del arribo del grupo de justicia privada, es una clara muestra del sentido de humanidad inherente al oficial Orozco Castro. Conclusión de todo lo anterior es que el Mayor Orozco, no incumplió con sus deberes y obligaciones como comandante del batallón París, pues de inmediato elaboro y envió comunicación a la séptima brigada, dando cuenta de lo que acontecía en Mapiripan. Fiscal Regional de Derechos Humanos. Bogotá, 30 de marzo de 1999. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "NEMO PUNITUR PRO ALIENO DELICTO" "Nadie debe ser castigado por el delito de otro"
