Download or read book Charting the Future of Translation History written by Paul F. Bandia and published by University of Ottawa Press. This book was released on 2006-07-28 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last 30 years there has been a substantial increase in the study of the history of translation. Both well-known and lesser-known specialists in translation studies have worked tirelessly to give the history of translation its rightful place. Clearly, progress has been made, and the history of translation has become a viable independent research area. This book aims at claiming such autonomy for the field with a renewed vigour. It seeks to explore issues related to methodology as well as a variety of discourses on history with a view to laying the groundwork for new avenues, new models, new methods. It aspires to challenge existing theoretical and ideological frameworks. It looks toward the future of history. It is an attempt to address shortcomings that have prevented translation history from reaching its full disciplinary potential. From microhistory, archaeology, periodization, to issues of subjectivity and postmodernism, methodological lacunae are being filled. Contributors to this volume go far beyond the text to uncover the role translation has played in many different times and settings such as Europe, Africa, Latin America, the Middle-east and Asia from the 6th century to the 20th. These contributions, which deal variously with the discourses on methodology and history, recast the discipline of translation history in a new light and pave the way to the future of research and teaching in the field.

Download or read book The Dark Library written by Cyrille Martinez and published by Coach House Books. This book was released on 2020-11-10 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Libraries are magical places. But what if they’re even more magical than we know? In Cyrille Martinez’s library, the books are alive: not just their ideas or their stories, but the books themselves. Meet the Angry Young Book, who has strong opinions about who reads what and why. He’s tired of people reading bestsellers, so he places himself on the desks of those who might appreciate him. Meet the Old Historian who mysteriously vanished from the stacks. Meet the Blue Librarian, the Mauve Librarian, the Yellow Librarian, and spend a day with the Red Librarian trying to banish coffee cups and laptops. Then one day there are no empty desks anywhere in the Great Library. A great horde of student workers has descended, and they will scan every single book in the library: the much-borrowed, the neglected, the popular, the obscure. What will happen to the library then? Will it still be necessary? The Dark Library is a theoretical fiction, a meditation on what libraries mean in our digital world. Has the act of reading changed? What is a reader? A book? Martinez, a librarian himself, has written a love letter to the urban forest of the dark, wild library, where ideas and stories roam free.

Download or read book A History of the French in London written by Debra Kelly and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines, for the first time, the history of the social, cultural, political and economic presence of the French in London, and explores the multiple ways in which this presence has contributed to the life of the city. The capital has often provided a place of refuge, from the Huguenots in the 17th century, through the period of the French Revolution, to various exile communities during the 19th century, and on to the Free French in the Second World War.It also considers the generation of French citizens who settled in post-war London, and goes on to provide insights into the contemporary French presence by assessing the motives and lives of French people seeking new opportunities in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It analyses the impact that the French have had historically, and continue to have, on London life in the arts, gastronomy, business, industry and education, manifest in diverse places and institutions from the religious to the political via the educational, to the commercial and creative industries.

Download or read book Language Contact and Bilingualism written by René Appel and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happens – sociologically, linguistically, educationally, politically – when more than one language is in regular use in a community? How do speakers handle these languages simultaneously, and what influence does this language contact have on the languages involved? Although most people in the world use more than one language in everyday life, the approach to the study of language has usually been that monolingualism is the norm. The recent interest in bilingualism and language contact has led to a number of new approaches, based on research in communities in many different parts of the world. This book draws together this diverse research, looking at examples from many different situations, to present the topic in any easily accessible form. Language contact is looked at from four distinct perspectives. The authors consider bilingual societies; bilingual speakers; language use in the bilingual community; finally language itself (do languages change when in contact with each other? Can they borrow rules of grammar, or just words? How can new languages emerge from language contact?). The result is a clear, concise synthesis offering a much-needed overview of this lively area of language study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book contains twenty essays by expert scholars of higher learning in the early modern period. Together they discuss topics that historians of universities have largely ignored: notably the extensive collaboration, and occasional conflicts, between university scholars, instructors, and administrators on the one hand, and students at academies, independent and dependent colleges, gymnasia, and Latin schools on the other. The contributions also cover a wide geographical range, covering universities, schools, academies, and the history of the book, in many European states, and Latin America"--

Download or read book Shalom Tower Syndrome written by Albert Russo and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexis Romani, the protagonist, and his American-born wife, Serena are spending a few months in Israel. They normally live in Milan, Italy, where Alexis, in his mid-thirties, holds an important position in a multinational company. He is going through a nervous collapse. The story is told in the first person, Alexis being the narrator. The young man's complex background catches up with him and appears to be at the root of his existential malaise. He was brought up a Catholic, while his father was an Italian Jew and his mother, a beautiful mulatto woman. He spent most of his youth in Central Africa and his early adult years in Italy. Having worked 10 years for KBI Italia, he comes to the conclusion that something is wrong with a business which deals with corrupt governments. And, of course, he has to blame himself for his involvement in the firm. On the other hand he is the founder of a cultural magazine focusing on the Third World. Against this background, it is his marriage which is at stake. But that, he isn't aware of. Instead, he relives his past in Africa with his mother, his experiences as a world traveler for KBI Italia - He will probably come out of this maze, after several suicide attempts, but at the cost of a divorce. The tone of the story is in turn hallucinatory and partly lucid, depending on whether it deals with the present in Israel, where suicide bombings have become a regular occurrence, or flashbacks of the past. His nervous breakdown reaches bottom and he questions his triple identity: African, Jewish-Italian and Catholic, asking himself what his true allegiance should be. But he's too muddled to find any answer. His kind lodger in Ashkelon, a resort town near the Gaza border, takes pity on him and suggests that the couple consult a psychiatrist friend of her nephew's. But the experience proves inconclusive. At a party given by Israeli acquaintances, the couple comes across Serena's former American lover, and Peter, a kindly German professor. This only disturbs Alexis even further. Two days after that social gathering, Alexis phones Peter, on impulse, and asks him whether they could meet in Tel Aviv - without Serena -, where the German visitor is currently staying. The two men will spend a day together, visiting the city, which Peter knows quite well. To crown this friendly tour, Peter takes his new companion to the Shalom Tower for a breathtaking view of the city and the Mediterranean. There, Alexis will attempt suicide, but as he is about to throw himself in the void, his pants get hooked on the guardrail. He barely escaped death, but this situation disconcerts Peter, who, of course, knew nothing of the young Italian's malaise. He takes him back to his hotel and wants to call Serena in Ashkelon to come and fetch her husband. But Alexis begs him not to divulge what has just happened and promises that he won't subject him to anything foolish. He opens up to the German professor and asks him if he could spend the night at the hotel, giving Serena an excuse. Peter agrees, a little reluctantly. But the hotel is full and the two men will have to share the same room. To Peter's surprise and chagrin, the young man falls in love with him. And they will make love. It is both Alexis' first homosexual experience and a revelation to the young Italian. Aware of the young man's very disturbed state of mind, Peter suggests that he go to a psychiatric clinic in Belgium where a dear friend of Peter's has been cured. It so happens that Alexis' father resides part of the year in Europe's capital, when he is not attending to his construction business in Africa. The following winter we find Alexis in a mansion-like clinic in the outskirts of Brussels. He will spend several months there, under the surveillance of a team of psychoanalysts and nurses. His father pays him a visit, and he is accompanied by Serena, who made the trip from Milan. To the young man's dismay, he learns from his father's mouth - not his wife's - that Sere
