Achieving Consilience

Autor: Margherita Dore

Número de Páginas: 239

At Master’s level, students in Translation Studies may choose to complete their course by compiling a dissertation by commentary. Such projects involve detailed discussions of the strategies and procedures that students opt for when translating a source text of their choice (be it literary, audiovisual, or technical). However, the vast majority of these dissertations by commentary usually remain stored in university libraries. Achieving Consilience: Translation Theories and Practice brings to the fore the theoretical and practical potential of these dissertations by commentary. It demonstrates how theories in Translation Studies can be fruitfully, consciously and systematically applied during the translation practice, thus helping to transcend the received wisdom according to which theorists and practitioners share little common ground. Additionally, the contributors to this volume evince their ability to apply a research-driven approach to their analysis by comparing their work with official translations or other field-related texts. As such, this essay collection will contribute to a better understanding of the translator’s decision-making process, and will offer future...

The Revenants

Autor: Brian Massey

Número de Páginas: 258

The Revenants is the story of Michael Reeves, a psychic diver forced to dive on the most haunting shipwreck of them all: Titanic. Reeves knows the Titanic wreck, and he has some designs on one treasure in particular--The Great Omar, a priceless copy of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam that sank with the ship in 1912. During a catastrophic dive, Reeves experiences a reawakening of psychic abilities. The ship’s grave becomes the classic “bad place,” filled with supernatural presences and deadly currents.

La traduction audiovisuelle

Autor: Jean-marc Lavaur , Adriana Serban

Número de Páginas: 166

A l’heure de la multiplication des chaînes de télévision et de la généralisation du DVD, nous assistons à une intensification des échanges de programmes audiovisuels qui demandent à être traduits en plusieurs langues pour une diffusion la plus large possible. Les évolutions dans le domaine de la traduction audiovisuelle ont été considérables ces dernières années, et de nouvelles techniques ont vu le jour pour répondre aux attentes du public. Le sous-titrage, forme majeure de traduction audiovisuelle, n’est pas une technique récente, mais ses évolutions prennent en compte à la fois les avancées technologiques et les caractéristiques du public, qui peut maintenant choisir entre plusieurs versions sous-titrées ou doublées d’un même film, en fonction des langues qu’il souhaite voir à l’écran. Les développements du sous-titrage pour sourds et malentendants et de l’audio description pour aveugles et malvoyants attestent, eux aussi, des progrès considérables dans le domaine de l’accessibilité aux médias. Cet ouvrage retrace l’historique du sous-titrage au cinéma et sa réception dans les différents médias. Il explique les étapes qui...

Portuguese Tangier (1471-1662)

Autor: Martin Elbl

Número de Páginas: 1076

Portuguese Tangier (1471-1662) is a fundamental new contribution to the history of Tangier, a dynamically expanding Moroccan port on the south shore of the Strait of Gibraltar. The book offers a “virtual archaeology” of the Portuguese urban fabric heritage--both vanished and preserved--in Tangier's médina, the walled Old Town. Solidly grounded in archival sources and profoundly revisionist, Portuguese Tangier alters our image of the médina to an unexpected extent. Yet it makes no claim to being "definitive" in any sense -- on the contrary, it is no more than a starting point. The volume stands at a critical intersection of well-known documents, recently located sources, and those that have been heavily underused (military engineering plans -- Portuguese as well as English, Portuguese building estimates and construction proposals). It plays a critical searchlight over discrepancies that become evident once spatio-temporal GIS modelling is deployed to re-examine the sources and the existing literature. The book challenges a rainbow of standard interpretations and entrenched Tangerois urban legends. It ranges widely, from recent hypotheses to newly confirmed toponyms,...

Los costos de los Derechos fundamentales

Autor: Álvarez Cruz, José Luis

Número de Páginas: 402

¿Por qué es importante conocer el Sistema Interamericano de Derechos Humanos en sus orígenes? En esta interrogante, José Luis Álvarez Cruz, explica la forma en que fueron concebidos los entes híbridos internacionales, nombres que él de manera personal les otorga a la “Comisión Interamericana de los Derechos Humanos, Corte Interamericana de los Derechos Humanos” con jurisdicción en los Estados que han suscrito compromisos por medio de sus mandatarios. Entre los objetivos de la “Comisión IDH”, dar a conocer en primer lugar, violaciones de derechos humanos por parte de los gobiernos en sus diferentes modalidades, ejecutivas, legislativas y judiciales, así como también por las distintas órdenes de gobierno, pudiendo mediar entre el ciudadano y el Estado, o llevar al Estado en calidad de demandado ante la “Corte IDH”. En el presente libro Álvarez Cruz expone ¿quiénes? y ¿cómo? se obligaron a nivel internacional, en el desarrollo, aportando respuestas importantes sustentadas en la Constitución Política de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos. Para poder comprender estos derechos de corte internacional, que el autor los define como facultades materiales del Poder...

Screen Translation

Autor: Yves Gambier

Número de Páginas: 225

There are three fundamental issues in the field of screen translation, namely, the relationship between verbal output and pictures and soundtrack, between a foreign language/culture and the target language/culture, and finally between the spoken code and the written one. All three issues are raised and discussed by contributors to this special issue of The Translator. The topics covered include the following: the use of multimodal transcription for the analysis of audiovisual data; the depiction and reception of cultural otherness in Disney animated films produced in the 1990's; the way in which subtitles in Flanders strengthen the already streamlined narratives of mainstream film stories, and how they 'enhance' the characteristics of the films and their underlying ideology; developing a research methodology for testing the effectiveness of intralingual subtitling for the deaf and hard of hearing; the pragmatic, semiotic and communicative dimensions of puns and plays on words in The Simpsons; the reception of translated humour in the Marx Brothers' film Duck Soup; and non-professional interpreting in live interviews on breakfast television in Finland. The volume also includes a...

Les mesures de prévention peinent à être mises en place, et les conditions de vie dans les quartiers populaires favorisent la transmission. Les centres de traitement du choléra sont dépassés.
