Book Synopsis Transfer Thinking in Translation Studies by : Maud Gonne
Download or read book Transfer Thinking in Translation Studies written by Maud Gonne and published by Leuven University Press. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of transfer covers the most diverse phenomena of circulation, transformation and reinterpretation of cultural goods across space and time, and are among the driving forces in opening up the field of translation studies. Transfer processes cross linguistic and cultural boundaries and cannot be reduced to simple movements from a source to a target (culture or text). In a time of paradigm shifts, this book aims to explore the potential and interdisciplinary power of transfer as a concept and an analytical tool to account for complex cultural dynamics. The contributions in this book adopt various research angles (literary studies, imagology, translation studies, translator studies, periodical studies, postcolonialism) to study an array of entangled transfer processes that apply to different objects and aspects, ranging from literary texts, legal texts, news, images and identities to ideologies, power asymmetries, titles and heterolingualisms. By embracing a process-oriented way of thinking, all these contributions aim to open the ‘black box’ of transfer in the widest sense.

Download or read book Transmissibility and Cultural Transfer written by Jennifer and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-04-15 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by Stephanie Schwerter and Jennifer K. Dick, Transmissibility and Cultural Transfer: Dimensions of Translation in the Humanities brings together monumental voices in the social sciences—such as Jean-René Ladmiral from Paris and Peter Caws from Washington DC—to begin to address the Humanities’ specific issues with and debt to translation. Calling for a re-examination of how translations are read, critiqued, and taught in Philosophy, History, Political Science, and Sociology departments, this book provides tools for reflection, bases for reconsideration of given translations, and historical observations on how thought has been shaped across national borders. The volume ends with four case studies—examples from auto-translation in postcolonial literature, cultural issues of translation in Chinese-language cinema, negotiating meaning between linguistically and culturally different audiences in the United States and Lebanon, to verbal-visual questions of translation in marketing to German and French clients. All in all, this book is a comprehensive, compact survey of the cultural and linguistic translation and transmission issues in the social sciences today. Transmissibility and Cultural Transfer: Dimensions of Translation in the Humanities is illuminating and informative.

In a highly accessible and engaging way, it introduces readers to some of the main linguistic and cultural challenges that translators encounter when translating films and other audiovisual productions. The chapters in this volume examine translation practices and experiences in various countries, highlighting how AVT plays a crucial role in shaping debates about languages and cultures in a world increasingly dependent on audiovisual media.

Book Synopsis Cultural Translation and Knowledge Transfer on Alternative Routes of Escape from Nazi Terror by : Susanne Korbel
Download or read book Cultural Translation and Knowledge Transfer on Alternative Routes of Escape from Nazi Terror written by Susanne Korbel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-08-05 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book investigates and compares the role of artistic and academic refugees from National Socialism acting as "cultural mediators" or "agents of knowledge" between their origin and host societies. By doing so, it locates itself at the intersection of the recently emerging field of the history of knowledge, transnational history, migration, exile, as well as cultural transfer studies. The case studies provided in this volume are of global scope, focusing on routes of escape and migration to Iceland, Italy, the Near East, Portugal and Shanghai, and South-, Central-, and North America. The chapters examine the hybrid ways refugees envisaged, managed, organized, and subsequently mediated their migrations. It focuses on how they dealt with their escape in their art and science. The chapters ask how the emigrants located themselves––did they associate with ethnic, religious, and/or cultural affiliations, specific social classes, or specific parts of society—and how such identifications were portrayed in their knowledge transfer and cultural translations. Building on such possible avenues for research, this volume aims to offer a global analysis of the multifarious processes not only of cultural translation and knowledge transfer affecting culture, sciences, networks, but also everyday life in different areas of the world.

Book Synopsis Translating Cultures by : David Katan
Download or read book Translating Cultures written by David Katan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 555 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the 21st century gets into stride so does the call for a discipline combining culture and translation. This second edition of Translating Cultures retains its original aim of putting some rigour and coherence into these fashionable words and lays the foundation for such a discipline. This edition has not only been thoroughly revised, but it has also been expanded. In particular, a new chapter has been added which focuses specifically on training translators for translational and intercultural competencies. The core of the book provides a model for teaching culture to translators, interpreters and other mediators. It introduces the reader to current understanding about culture and aims to raise awareness of the fundamental role of culture in constructing, perceiving and translating reality. Culture is perceived throughout as a system for orienting experience, and a basic presupposition is that the organization of experience is not 'reality', but rather a simplified model and a 'distortion' which varies from culture to culture. Each culture acts as a frame within which external signs or 'reality' are interpreted. The approach is interdisciplinary, taking ideas from contemporary translation theory, anthropology, Bateson's logical typing and metamessage theories, Bandler and Grinder's NLP meta-model theory, and Hallidayan functional grammar. Authentic texts and translations are offered to illustrate the various strategies that a cultural mediator can adopt in order to make the different cultural frames he or she is mediating between more explicit.
Book Synopsis Cultural Transfer through Translation by :
Download or read book Cultural Transfer through Translation written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given that the dissemination of enlightened thought in Europe was mostly effected through translations, the present collection of essays focuses on how its cultural adaptation took place in various national contexts. For the first time, the theoretical model of ‘cultural transfer’ (Espagne/Werner) is applied to the eighteenth century: The intercultural dynamics of the Enlightenment become manifest in the transformation process between the original and target cultures, be it by way of acculturation, creative enhancement, or misunderstanding. Resulting in shifts of meaning, translations offer a key not just to contemporary translation practice but to the discursive network of the European Enlightenment in general. The case studies united here explore both how translations contributed to the transnational standardisation of certain key concepts, values and texts, and how they reflect national specifications of enlightened discourses. Hence, the volume contributes to Enlightenment studies, at least as much as to historical translation studies.
Book Synopsis Literary Translation and Cultural Mediators in 'Peripheral' Cultures by : Diana Roig-Sanz
Download or read book Literary Translation and Cultural Mediators in 'Peripheral' Cultures written by Diana Roig-Sanz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-07-20 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sets the grounds for a new approach exploring cultural mediators as key figures in literary and cultural history. It proposes an innovative conceptual and methodological understanding of the figure of the cultural mediator, defined as a cultural actor active across linguistic, cultural and geographical borders, occupying strategic positions within large networks and being the carrier of cultural transfer. Many studies on translation and cultural mediation privileged the major metropolis of Paris, London, and New York as centres of cultural production and translation. However, other cities and megacities that are not global centres of culture also feature vibrant translation scenes. This book abandons the focus on ‘innovative’ centres and ‘imitative’ peripheries and follows processes of cultural exchange as they develop. Thus, it analyses the role of cultural mediators as customs officers or smugglers (or both in different proportions) in so-called ‘peripheral’ cultures and offers insights into an under-analysed body of actors and institutions promoting intercultural transfer in often multilingual and less studied venues such as Trieste, Tel Aviv, Buenos Aires, Lima, Lahore, or Cape Town.

Book Synopsis What is Translation History? by : Andrea Rizzi
Download or read book What is Translation History? written by Andrea Rizzi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-22 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a dynamic history of the ways in which translators are trusted and distrusted. Working from this premise, the authors develop an approach to translation that speaks to historians of literature, language, culture, society, science, translation and interpreting. By examining theories of trust from sociological, philosophical, and historical studies, and with reference to interdisciplinarity, the authors outline a methodology for approaching translation history and intercultural mediation from three discrete, concurrent perspectives on trust and translation: the interpersonal, the institutional and the regime-enacted. This book will be of particular interest to students and scholars of translation studies, as well as historians working on mediation and cultural transfer.
Book Synopsis Text Performances and Cultural Transfer / Textperformances und Kulturtransfer by : Marco AGNETTA
Download or read book Text Performances and Cultural Transfer / Textperformances und Kulturtransfer written by Marco AGNETTA and published by Zeta Books. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As is well known, a text is a speech act, namely the realisation and initiation of linguistic potentialities. Although a text can be described as an independent entity, it only becomes effective in concrete situations of use. One and the same linguistic product can form the basis of different communicative events. Every text can be understood as part of a performance that has a unique and unrepeatable character thanks to its connection to the presentation and reception situation: a text is read (aloud), staged, declaimed or solemnly spoken, sung, etc. in different ways. Every text reception is also a unique event that is affected by a wide variety of variables. In this regard, the eminently hermeneutic activity of the translator can also be understood as an intercultural performance in which the role of the source text recipient and the role of the target text recipient converge. This leads to a language product that shows clear traces of this individual performance. Different translators, that is to say, perform in different ways. This volume aims to show that assessing the performative change of perspective, a matter which is gradually gaining importance in textual studies as well as in translation studies, opens up an area in which different disciplines can enter into conversation. Ein Text ist bekanntlich ein parole-Akt, d. h. eine Realisierung sprachlicher Potentialitäten. Er lässt sich zwar als eigenständige Entität beschreiben, wirksam wird er allerdings erst in konkreten Gebrauchssituationen. Ein und dasselbe Sprachprodukt kann Grundlage unterschiedlicher kommunikativer Ereignisse darstellen. Jeder Text kann als Teil einer Performance begriffen werden, die in ihrer Bindung zur Präsentations- und Rezeptionssituation einen einmaligen und unwiederholbaren Charakter aufweist: Ein Text wird unterschiedlich (vor-)gelesen, in Szene gesetzt, deklamiert oder feierlich gesprochen, gesungen etc. Auch jede Textrezeption ist ein einmaliges Ereignis, das von unterschiedlichsten Variablen affiziert wird. Schließlich kann auch die eminent hermeneutische Tätigkeit des Übersetzers als interkulturelle Performance aufgefasst werden, in der die Rolle des Ausganstextrezipienten und die Rolle des Zieltextrezipienten konvergieren. Sie führt zu einem Sprachprodukt, das deutliche Spuren dieser individuellen Performance aufweist. Unterschiedliche Übersetzer performen in jeweils unterschiedlicher Weise. Der Band möchte aufzeigen, dass der performative Perspektivenwechsel, der in den Textwissenschaften sowie in der Übersetzungswissenschaft allmählich an Bedeutung gewinnt, ein Gebiet eröffnet, in dem unterschiedliche Disziplinen ins Gespräch kommen können.
