Geophilosophy of the Mediterranean
The essays collected here outline a geophilosophy of the Mediterranean—a sea of great importance in the history of Europe and the wider West. Conceived from a geophilosophical perspective, the Mediterranean is a sea surrounded by lands—that is, a "pluriverse" of different cultures and religions, which have often become entangled in conflicts. Nevertheless, they have also demonstrated a remarkable capacity for coexistence, as exemplified by multilingual, multiethnic, and multireligious Sicily during the reign of Roger II of Hauteville. Throughout its millennia-long history, the Mediterranean has consistently displayed a profoundly unified configuration despite its inherent diversity. Its distinctive blend of singularity and plurality can serve as a paradigm for rethinking new forms of social and political coexistence, not only for Europe, which draws its origin from this sea, but also for a new global order.
Debates in Translation Studies
Translation Studies has been an extraordinary success story which grew out of the work of a small group of international scholars in the 1970s and has become a global phenomenon. As the field has rapidly expanded, it has also diversified. This collection of essays, by world-leading translation specialists, sheds light on some of the major shifts in thinking about translation that are taking place today. The authors here engage with the most contentious issues within translation studies and cover topics ranging from examining the scope for machine and human translation to develop together, to addressing the role of translation in the age of the Anthropocene and considering how we prepare translators for the complexities of contemporary communication. Written in an accessible and engaging style and with an emphasis on challenging orthodoxies and encouraging critical thinking, this is essential reading for all advanced students of translation studies and literature in translation.
