Perspectives on TranslationThe Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies has been the standard reference in the field since it first appeared in 1998. The second, extensively revised and extended edition brings this unique resource up-to-date and offers a thorough, critical and authoritative account of one of the fastest growing disciplines in the humanities. The Encyclopedia is divided into two parts and alphabetically ordered for ease of reference.PartOne (General) covers the conceptual framework and core concerns of the discipline. Categories of entries includeullcentral issues in translation theory (e.g. equivalence, translatability, unit of translation)llkey concepts (e.g. culture, norms, ethics, ideology, shifts, quality)llapproaches to translation and interpreting (e.g. sociological, linguistic, functionalist)lltypes of translation (e.g. literary, audiovisual, scientific and technical)lltypes of interpreting (e.g. signed language, dialogue, court).lulNew additions in this section include entries on globalisation, mobility, localization, gender and sexuality, censorship, comics, advertising and retranslation, among many others.PartTwo (History and Traditions) covers the history of translation in major linguistic and cultural communities. It is arranged alphabetically by linguistic region. There are entries on a wide range of languages which include Russian, French, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese and Finnish, and regions including Brazil, Canada and India. Many of the entries in this section are based on hitherto unpublished research. This section includes one new entry Southeast Asian tradition.Drawing on the expertise of over90 contributors from30 countries and an international panel of consultant editors, this volume offers a comprehensive overview of translation studies as an academic discipline and anticipates new directions in the field. The contributors examine various forms of translation and interpreting as they are practised by professionals today, in addition to research topics, theoretical issues and the history of translation in various parts of the world.With key terms defined and discussed in context, a full index, extensive cross-references, diagrams and a full bibliography the Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies is an invaluable reference work for all students and teachers of translation, interpreting, and literary and social theory.Mona Baker is Professor of Translation Studies at the University of Manchester, UK.

The purpose of this book is to trace through a number of poems of Wordsworths major period (1798-1805, roughly) some of his major preoccupations, especially with the phenomenon of human death and with the relation of the human soul to the eternal Nature which lies within and behind the changing aspects of things as man has experienced them. **

File Type: mobi
From Publishers WeeklyIn his well-intentioned but impersonal memoirs, Winters tells the tales left untold by Stephen Ambrose, whose Band of Brothers was the inspiration for the HBO miniseries, but Winterss memoir is disappointingly sparse on details unrelated to troop position. It is in the battles and tactical maneuvers of Easy Company that Winters is most at home on D-Day, when Easy Companys commanding officer is killed, Winters takes charge minutes after landing deep in German territory and leads an assault against a German battery. He carefully explicates the reasoning behind his strategy, leading the reader along as the Company attacks German machine gun and mortar outposts. The narrative is laced with Winterss soldierly exaltations of pride in his comrades bravery My God, its beautiful when you think of a guy who was so dedicated to his company that he apologizes for getting hit. Although the intrepidness of the group induces more than a tinge of pride, the memoir is devoid of powerful reflections. In the last, sluggish chapters, Winters devotes an excessive amount of time to letters he has received and to expositions on leadership. Winters is too humble for a genre that requires a little bit of conceit. Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. FromStephen Ambroses Band of Brothers (1992) and the HBO miniseries based on it made Easy Company--the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, which fought from D-Day to the end of World War II, with 150 percent casualties--well known to more than -military-history buffs. After both publication and broadcast, Winters, Easy Companys commanding officer, received many requests for more information. Feeling that much of the material Ambrose didnt use deserved an audience, he chose to air it and satisfy all those requests in his memoirs. For those to whom the story is familiar, the major and his collaborator developed an excellent narrative voice to recount Winters experiences, actions, and thoughts during everything from training to deployment to battle to subsequent occupation. Winters has been praised as an exemplar of leadership, and here he shows what he did to earn that praise and how he did it. Very well done, book as well as war service.

CRITI
59886
Author: Karen L. Georgi
File Type: pdf
American Civil Warera art critics James Jackson Jarves, Clarence Cook, and William J. Stillman classified styles and defined art in terms that have become fundamental to our modern periodization of the art of the nineteenth century. In Critical Shift, Karen Georgi rereads many of their well-known texts, finding certain key discrepancies between their words and our historiography that point to unrecognized narrative desires. The book also studies ruptures and revolutionary breaks between old and new art, as well as the issue of the morality of true art. Georgi asserts that these concepts and their sometimes loaded expression were part of larger rhetorical structures that gainsay the uses to which the key terms have been put in modern historiography. It has been more than fifty years since a book has been devoted to analyzing the careers of these three critics, and never before has their role in the historiography and periodization of American art been analyzed. The conclusions drawn from this close rereading of well-known texts challenge the fundamental nature of historical context in American art history. **

Author: Nicholas Reeves
File Type: pdf
For all those interested in the burial practices in New Kingdom Egypt, this should be the first book to consult. *Journal of the American Oriental Society* This account of the Valley of the Kings brings together the art, archaeology, and history of this incredible site in one exciting volume. The authors, both acknowledged authorities, examine the topography of the Valley, the choice of specific tomb sites, the makeup of the workforce, and how the royal monuments were prepared for the kings afterlife. They tell the story of the chroniclers and archaeologists throughout history, and catalogue all the Valleys burials, describing for each its discovery, architecture, decoration, and contents. And, in three final sections, they discuss the robbing of the Valley in antiquity, the hiding of the royal mummies, and the urgent steps now needed to safeguard the royal necropolis for future generations. 532 illustrations, 76 in color. **Review A richly illustrated, reasonably priced account of the burial sites of Egypts greatest rulers. From the Back Cover Here is the definitive account of the Valley of the Kings, visited by millions of tourists and famous throughout the world as the burial place of the great New Kingdom pharaohs. Some eighty tombs were dug in the valley at the height of Egyptian power more than 3,000 years ago, their chambers stocked with incredible treasures and decorated with magnificent wall paintings. It was here, in 1922, that Howard Carter stumbled upon the virtually intact tomb of the boy-king, Tutankhamun. Recently the valley has made international headlines with the discovery of the burial chapels of Ramesses the Greats many sons The Complete Valley of the Kings is the first book to publish an account of these remarkable findings. Reeves and Wilkinson, both acknowledged authorities on the valley, bring together the art, archaeology and history in one exciting account.

ALEXA

Author: Alexander Vvedensky
File Type: epub
Pussy Riot are Vvedenskys disciples and his heirs. Katya, Masha, and I are in jail but I dont consider that weve been defeated.... According to the official report, Alexander Vvedensky died on December 20, 1941. We dont know the cause, whether it was dysentery in the train after his arrest or a bullet from a guard. It was somewhere on the railway line between Voronezh and Kazan. His principle of bad rhythm is our own. He wrote It happens that two rhythms will come into your head, a good one and a bad one and I choose the bad one. It will be the right one. ... It is believed that the OBERIU dissidents are dead, but they live on. They are persecuted but they do not die. Pussy Riot [Nadezhda Tolokonnikovas closing statement at their trial in August 2012] I raise[d] my hand against concepts, wrote Alexander Vvedensky, I enacted a poetic critique of reason. This weirdly and wonderfully philosophical poet was born in 1904, grew up in the midst of war and revolution, and reached his artistic maturity as Stalin was twisting the meaning of words in grotesque and lethal ways. Vvedenskywith Daniil Kharms the major figure in the shortlived underground avant-garde group OBERIU (a neologism for the union for real art)responded with a poetry that explodes stable meaning into shimmering streams of provocation and invention. A Vvedensky poem is like a crazy party full of theater, film, magic tricks, jugglery, and feasting. Curious characters appear and disappear, euphoria keeps company with despair, outrageous assertions lead to epic shouting matches, and perhaps it all breaks off with one lonely person singing a song. A Vvedensky poem doesnt make a statement. It is an event. Vvedenskys poetry was unpublishable during his lifetimehe made a living as a writer for children before dying under arrest in 1942and he remains the least known of the great twentieth-century Russian poets. This is his first book to appear in English. The translations by Eugene Ostashevsky and Matvei Yankelevich, outstanding poets in their own right, are as astonishingly alert and alive as the originals.**

QUEER

Author: David Shneer
File Type: pdf
Queer Jews describes how queer Jews are changing Jewish American culture, creating communities and making room for themselves, as openly, unapologetically queer and Jewish. Combining political analysis and personal memoir, these essays explore the various ways queer Jews are creating new forms of Jewish communities and institutions, and demanding that Jewish communities become more inclusive.ReviewQueer Jews is so exuberantly queer that it changes the old adage, When youre in love, the whole world is Jewish to When youre in heat, the whole world is. This collection from women and men is chock full of shtemme, soul. -- Lambda Book ReportQueer Jews welcomes us into the worlds and the lives of Jews who identify as queer lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender. These twenty-one essays-by Hebrew school teachers, principals, rabbis, Jews in the pews, and those who define themselves as secular-challenge readers to wrestle not only with sexual diversity, but also with gender identity...The contributors to this bold collection write with clarity, a healthy measure of chutzpah, and hope that their words will establish a permanent place of recognition and honor for the thousands of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning Jews who gather at family and communal tables across our Jewish world. -- LILITHWeve been long overdue for the book that shows where queerJewish thought has been over the last few years-and more importantly-where its headed. Queer Jews addresses just about every aspect of queer Jewish experience, and does so with insight, humor, and a whole lot of chutzpah. This book has vitally important things to teach anyone and everyone who picks it up. -- Danya Ruttenberg, editor of Yentls Revenge The Next Wave of Jewish FeminismShneer and Aviv have assembled a first-rate collection of essays that will permanently alter all perceptions about Queer Jews. These vivid, cutting edge tales of the lives of transgender, bisexual, gay and lesbian Jews delight and challenge. If this book reflects the state of queer thinking in Jewish life, we may indeed count our blessings. -- Rebecca Alpert, author of Like Bread on the Seder Plate Jewish Lesbians and the Transformation of TraditionA youthful vision of the dynamic intersection of what it means to be Jewish and gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered. Bravoa to the editors for compiling such a wide-ranging spectrum of thinking on the topic. -- Rabbi Denise L. Eger, Congregation Kol Ami, West Hollywoods Reform SynagogueFresh, original, and provocative essays will challenge readers of Queer Jews to think more deeply about being Jewish, gendered, and sexed. A rare book, with new and exciting ideas. -- Susannah Heschel, co-editor of On Being a Jewish FeministIn the best prophetic tradition, Queer Jews pushes the envelope of possibilities for what Jewish community and identity can be. -- Rabbi Yoel H. Kahn, scholar-in-residence, Congregation Sherith Israel in San FranciscoQueer Jews is a fun book which delicately balances politics and humor, GBLT and Jewish identity and humanity with spirituality...[The authors] voices, and the stories they told, made me laugh, made me cry, and made me think. Dont forget to buy a few copies for your parents, rabbis, friends and lovers. -- The Empty ClosetThe book should appeal to a wide readership. The first-person story of Steve Greenberg, an openly gay Orthodox rabbi, is as inspiring as the confession-style tribulations of anonymous, closeted rabbinical students are painful. Eve Sicular plumbs the academic depths of Yiddish cinema, finding queer contexts from the 1930s in films like Yidl Mitn Fidl. Meanwhile Sandi Simcha Dubowskis free-form diary charts the progress of his truly ground-breaking film, Trembling Before G-d, as he took it to film festivals across the globe, offering proof that there are queers who are also quite frum (religiously observant) despite the real threat of excommunications from their congregations. -- Gay City NewsThe collection has taken important strides in redefining the boundaries of Jewish America, as well as the Queer community, by insisting that the voices of Queer Jews be heard--and accounted for. -- Gender Agenda About the AuthorDavid Shneer is Assistant Professor of History and Jewish Studies at the University of Denver and former Director of Education at Congregation Shaar Zahav in San Francisco. Caryn Aviv is a sociologist at the University of California, San Francisco, who currently directs the Program for Collaborative Care at the UCSF Breast Care Center.

Climate scientists have warned that we need to change our behaviour in ways that may be inconvenient and threaten the commercial status quo. The result has been a polarising division in society and a sustained attack on their research. In The Knowledge Wars, Nobel prizewinner Peter Doherty makes a passionate case for citizens to become informed so they are able to evaluate the facts of any scientific debate. It provides practical advice on how to analyse research and take meaningful action. The Knowledge Wars challenges our assumptions and encourages us to take an evidence-based view of the world. Theres something here to offend everybody! **

JUST
19574
Author: Rae Armantrout
File Type: epub
In Just Saying, improbable and even untenable speakers are briefly constitutedonly to disappear. The result is part carnival, part nightmare. A television pundits rhetoric segues into an unusual succulent with writhing maroon tongues. When the world suddenly becomes legible, is that revelation or psychosis? In this book, the voice of the Lord andor the voice of the security state can come from anyplace. The problem of identity becomes acute. The poems in Just Saying may be imagined as chimeras, creatures that appear when old distinctions break down and elements generally kept separate combine in new ways. Here Armantrout both worries (as a dog worries a bone) and celebrates the groundless fecundity of being and of language.**
