Download or read book L intraduisible en question written by Abraham Brahima and published by Cuvillier Verlag. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 518 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concept équivoque s’il en est, l’intraduisible dénote la difficulté de concevoir l’acte de traduire en dehors des catégories de l’inaccompli, du consensuel et du relatif. Incomplétude essentielle liée à la fois aux caractéristiques formelles du texte original et aux spécificités culturelles inhérentes qui opèrent comme des puissances de résistance à la traduction. Dans le contexte africain d’inscription du présent ouvrage, ces résistances sont d’autant plus accentuées qu’elles dérivent de la conscience encore vive des séquelles de la violence coloniale et des incohérences identitaires, existentielles, discursives, linguistiques et culturelles subséquentes. En un mot, comment parler à bon escient de traduction lorsque les textes à traduire confinent les langues en présence dans la logique inextricable de la différence, marquée d’un côté par les survivances de la « phrase coloniale » et de l’autre par les appels réitérés à la décolonisation mentale ? Le présent ouvrage entreprend de confronter les prémisses idéologiques de ces textes aux enjeux pragmatiques de la problématique linguistique dans l’Afrique d’aujourd’hui, en guise de contribution à la réflexion sur les enjeux et défis actuels de la traduction.
Download or read book La sc ne litt raire postcoloniale written by Patrick Sultan and published by Editions Le Manuscrit. This book was released on 2021 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comment lire avec justesse les littératures neuves des pays anciennement colonisés, les apprécier dans leur dimension esthétique, sans méconnaître leur signification politique ? Comment tenir compte de l'héritage colonial dont elles portent la marque sans les enfermer dans cette condition historique ? Cet essai propose des éléments de réponse à ces questions en construisant « une scène littéraire postcoloniale », librement inspirée par les Postcolonial Studies. Quelques oeuvres y sont convoquées : Le Quatrième Siècle (Edouard Glissant), Maps (Nurridine Farah), Pagli (Ananda Devi), Hombo (Chantal Spitz). Leurs auteurs sont issus d'aires géographiques éloignées (Martinique, Somalie, Polynésie Française, Maurice) qui n'ont de commun que d'avoir subi la violence coloniale. Dans l'espace de confrontation transdisciplinaire ainsi dessiné s'élaborent la figure contemporaine de « l'écrivain postcolonial » et les singularités de l'« écriture du trauma » qui ordonne son travail.

Download or read book Embassytown written by China Miéville and published by Del Rey. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER In the far future, humans have colonized a distant planet, home to the enigmatic Ariekei, sentient beings famed for a language unique in the universe, one that only a few altered human ambassadors can speak. Avice Benner Cho, a human colonist, has returned to Embassytown after years of deep-space adventure. She cannot speak the Ariekei tongue, but she is an indelible part of it, having long ago been made a figure of speech, a living simile in their language. When distant political machinations deliver a new ambassador to Arieka, the fragile equilibrium between humans and aliens is violently upset. Catastrophe looms, and Avice is torn between competing loyalties: to a husband she no longer loves, to a system she no longer trusts, and to her place in a language she cannot speak—but which speaks through her, whether she likes it or not. Praise for Embassytown “A breakneck tale of suspense . . . disturbing and beautiful by turns. I cannot emphasize enough how terrific this novel is. It's definitely one of the best books I've read in the past year, perfectly balanced between escapism and otherworldly philosophizing.”—io9 “Embassytown is a fully achieved work of art. . . . Works on every level, providing compulsive narrative, splendid intellectual rigour and risk, moral sophistication, fine verbal fireworks and sideshows, and even the old-fashioned satisfaction of watching a protagonist become more of a person than she gave promise of being.”—Ursula K Le Guin “The Kafkaesque writer journeys to the distant edges of the universe in his latest sci-fi thriller.”—Entertainment Weekly “Utterly astonishing . . . A major intellectual achievement.”—Kirkus Reviews “Brilliant storytelling . . . The result is a world masterfully wrecked and rebuilt.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Download or read book Handbook of Language and Communication Diversity and Change written by Marlis Hellinger and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2008-09-25 with total page 806 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In line with the overall perspective of the Handbook series, the focus of Vol.9 is on language-related problems arising in the context of linguistic diversity and change, and the contributions Applied Linguistics can offer for solutions. Part I, “Language minorities and inequality,” presents situations of language contact and linguistic diversity as world-wide phenomena. The focus is on indigenous and immigrant linguistic minorities, their (lack of) access to linguistic rights through language policies and the impact on their linguistic future .Part II “Language planning and language change,” focuses on the impact of colonialism, imperialism, globalisation and economics as factors that language policies and planning measures must account for in responding to problems deriving from language contact and linguistic diversity. Part III, “Language variation and change in institutional contexts,” examines language-related problems in selected institutional areas of communication (education, the law, religion, science, the Internet) which will often derive from socioeconomic, cultural and other non-linguistic asymmetries. Part IV, “The discourse of linguistic diversity and language change,” analyses linguistic diversity, language change and language reform as issues of public debates which are informed by different ideological positions, values and attitudes (e.g. with reference to sexism, racism, and political correctness).The volume also contains extensive reference sections and index material.

Download or read book Political Responsibility for a Globalised World written by Ernst Wolff and published by transcript Verlag. This book was released on 2014-04-30 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to reflect on the complex practice of responsibility within the context of a globalised world and contemporary means of action. Levinas' exploration of the ethical serves as point of entry and is shown to be seeking inter-cultural political relevance through engagement with the issues of postcoloniality and humanism. Yet, Levinas fails to realise the ethical implications of the inevitable instrumental mediation between ethical meaning and political practice. With recourse to Weber, Apel and Ricoeur, Ernst Wolff proposes a theory of strategic co-responsibility for the uncertain global context of practice.
