Download or read book New Approach to Legal Translation written by Susan Sarcevic and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 1997-05-07 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the first attempts to present a comprehensive study of legal translation, this book is an interdisciplinary study in law and translation theory. It is not bound to any specific languages or legal systems, although emphasis is placed on translation between common law and civil law jurisdictions. The main focus is on the translation of texts which are authoritative sources of the law; examples are cited primarily from statutes, codes and constitutions (Canada, Switzerland and Belgium), as well as instruments of the European Union and international treaties and conventions. Dealing with theoretical as well as practical aspects of the subject matter, the author analyses legal translation as an act of communication in the mechanism of the law, thus making it necessary to redefine the goal of legal translation. This book is intended for both lawyers and linguists, translation theorists, legal translators and drafters, legal lexicographers, as well as teachers and students of translation.

Download or read book The Civilization of Crime written by Eric Arthur Johnson and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Along with most of the rest of Western culture, has crime itself become more "civilized"? This book exposes as myths the beliefs that society has become more violent than it has been in the past and that violence is more likely to occur in cities than in rural areas. The product of years of study by scholars from North America and Europe, The Civilization of Crime shows that, however violent some large cities may be now, both rural and urban communities in Sweden, Holland, England, and other countries were far more violent during the late Middle Ages than any cities are today. Contributors show that the dramatic change is due, in part, to the fact that violence was often tolerated or even accepted as a form of dispute settlement in village-dominated premodern society. Interpersonal violence declined in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as dispute resolution was taken over by courts and other state institutions and the church became increasingly intolerant of it. The book also challenges a number of other historical-sociological theories, among them that contemporary organized crime is new, and addresses continuing debate about the meaning and usefulness of crime statistics.

Download or read book The Tender Cut written by Patricia A. Adler and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2011-08-22 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Cutting, burning, branding, and bone-breaking are all types of self-injury, of the deliberate, non-suicidal destruction of one's own body tissue, a practice that emerged from obscurity in the 1990s and spread dramatically as a typical behavior among adolescents. Long considered a suicidal gesture, The Tender Cut argues instead that self-injury is often a coping mechanism, a form of teenage angst, and expression of group membership, and a type of rebellion, converting unbearable emotional pain into manageable physical pain. An important portrait of a troubling behavior, The Tender Cut illuminates the meaning of self-injury in the 21st century, its effects on current and former users, and its future as a practice for self-discovery or a cry for help."--P. [4] of cover.

Book excerpt: Whether the judgements translators of different language works make are normative and somehow wrapped up in societal values that change with time or social positioning is the subject of these contributions.

Download or read book Women s Rights international studies on gender Crisis and pandemic Effects written by Mônica Sapucaia Machado and published by Deviant. This book was released on 2022-02-07 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new issue of Women’s Rights International Studies on Gender e-book returns after two years suspended due to the difficulties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Inline to listen to the voices of academics from developing and developed countries, this third volume investigates crisis and pandemic effects spread across the world since the beginning of 2020 on women’s lives. In this edition, Professor Chiquita Howard-Bostic integrates the edition responsibilities with professors Monica Sapucaia Machado and Denise Almeida de Andrade to expand the horizons of the studies, both in terms of regionality, Professor Howard-Bostic is American, and Professors Machado and Andrade are Brazilian, as of the focus, in the mixture of sociology and law. The e-book has contributions from professors from Spain, Belgium, India, the United States and Brazil. The piece begins with the debate on the normative force of international conventions for the protection of women´s rights, in a paper by Felipe Gómez Isa; advances to the analysis of domestic violence and the misogynist discourses in the pandemic period, in research carried out by Denise Andrade in partnership with Carolina Hannud and Thais Souza; and the third article addresses the dismantling of access to sexual and reproductive rights in a pandemic period, in the brave work of Rachel Hammonds. In the fourth chapter, the ebook presents the translation into English of the crucial writing of Hildete Pereira de Melo, Lucilene Morandi and Ruth Helena Dweck on the need to insert the social indicator of unpaid work as a satellite account in the Brazilian aid system. This article is due to the conceptual and methodological importance of gender data in Brazil and the world. The work continues with examining women’s situation in disaster conditions in a composition by Monica Machado and Karina Denari. Advances to the understanding of climate change and gender from the Indian legal framework, in the vital research of Stellina Jolly and Makina Kamthan and leads, in the 7° article, to the question of the discourse on the memory of women’s rights and the effect of this recollection for other women, in a paper by Débora Massmann and Patrícia Massmann. Finally, the e-book ends with an essay by Nadejda Marques on how inclusion, equity, and safety net approaches should guide policies to combat the devastation of rights caused by Covid-19 in women’s lives. With this seam that permeates themes, regions, and areas of knowledge, this e-book proposes to contribute to the construction of the academic and social debate on how crises dismantle the few rights conquered by women and what are the ways to rebuild these rights and guarantee that in the subsequent health, economic, social, and environmental crisis, women will not be the most affected again. We hope this effort will encourage more people to think about gender equality and we look forward to our fourth volume bringing better news about the situation of women in the world.

Download or read book Pederasty and Pedagogy in Archaic Greece written by William A. Percy and published by University of Illinois Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining impeccable scholarship with accessible, straightforward prose, Pederasty and Pedagogy in Archaic Greece argues that institutionalized pederasty began after 650 B.C., far later than previous authors have thought, and was initiated as a means of stemming overpopulation in the upper class. William Armstrong Percy III maintains that Cretan sages established a system under which a young warrior in his early twenties took a teenager of his own aristocratic background as a beloved until the age of thirty, when service to the state required the older partner to marry. The practice spread with significant variants to other Greek-speaking areas. In some places it emphasized development of the athletic, warrior individual, while in others both intellectual and civic achievement were its goals. In Athens it became a vehicle of cultural transmission, so that the best of each older cohort selected, loved, and trained the best of the younger. Pederasty was from the beginning both physical and emotional, the highest and most intense type of male bonding. These pederastic bonds, Percy believes, were responsible for the rise of Hellas and the "Greek miracle": in two centuries the population of Attica, a mere 45,000 adult males in six generations, produced an astounding number of great men who laid the enduring foundations of Western thought and civilization.
