Toward Inclusion and Social Justice in Institutional Translation and Interpreting
This collection re-envisions the academic study of institutional translation and interpreting (ITI), revealing oppression in established institutional spaces toward challenging existing policies and the myths which inhibit critical inquiry within the field. ITI is broadly conceived here as translation and interpreting delivered in or for specific institutions, understood as social systems and spanning national, supranational, and international organizations as well as immigration detention centers, prisons, and national courts. The volume is organized around three parts, which explore ITI spaces and practices revealing oppressive practices, dispelling myths regarding translation and interpre...
A Companion to Luis de Molina
Since his rediscovery by Alwin Plantinga in the 1970s, the possibility of counterfactuals of freedom in Molinism has become one of the main issues in the contemporary analytic philosophy of religion. Notwithstanding this, Luis de Molina (1535-1600) remains one of the most influential and least known authors of late scholasticism and early modern philosophy. The papers collected in this volume treat the whole range of issues posed by his metaphysics as set out in his revolutionary "Concordia" and in his practical philosophy - especially concerning law and economics - in his groundbreaking work "De Justitia et Jure". They also examine Molina's historical commitments and his influences on philosophy. In this way this Companion offers the first comprehensive and thorough overview of Molina's thought.
Learning to Read, Learning Religion
Catechism primers are inconspicuous but telling little books for children combining the teaching of reading skills and religious catechesis. From the 16th to the 19th centuries, they have been produced, disseminated and used in huge numbers in many regions of the world, in particular in Europe. Remarkably, similar texts appeared across the continent, spanning confessional traditions that were in other respects highly divergent. In different places, and across the whole period, different denominations used not only similar pedagogical and religious strategies, but also shared the same formats and iconography. This volume, edited by scholars from Finland, Germany, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, is the result of a collaborative transnational and interdisciplinary effort including education, language teaching, children’s literature, book history, and religious studies. With contributions on seventeen European countries and regions, it sheds new light on a fascinating but largely neglected part of European cultural heritage, and, by establishing a comprehensive and authoritative summary of the field, offers fresh impetus for further transnational research.
Manual of Romance Sociolinguistics
The Romance languages offer a particularly fertile ground for the exploration of the relationship between language and society in different social contexts and communities. Focusing on a wide range of Romance languages – from national languages to minoritised varieties – this volume explores questions concerning linguistic diversity and multilingualism, language contact, medium and genre, variation and change. It will interest researchers and policy-makers alike.
Manual of Standardization in the Romance Languages
Language standardization is an ongoing process based on the notions of linguistic correctness and models. This manual contains thirty-six chapters that deal with the theories of linguistic norms and give a comprehensive up-to-date description and analysis of the standardization processes in the Romance languages. The first section presents the essential approaches to the concept of linguistic norm ranging from antiquity to the present, and includes individual chapters on the notion of linguistic norms and correctness in classical grammar and rhetoric, in the Prague School, in the linguistic theory of Eugenio Coseriu, in sociolinguistics as well as in pragmatics, cognitive and discourse lingu...
EL DUQUE DE MEDINA SIDONIA
La relación del undécimo conde de Niebla con el poeta Luis de Góngora es el eje que vertebra en esta obra el estudio de las relaciones de las artes, la literatura y la cultura con los núcleos aristocráticos, en un espacio periférico y alejado de la corte. Cuatro son los focos de atención principales de la obra: Góngora y su relación con el entorno de la casa ducal de Medina Sidonia, el patrocinio ejercido por el VIII duque, don Manuel Alonso Pérez de Guzmán, la literatura cortesana generada por las relaciones de mecenazgo en tiempos de los Austria, y el coleccionismo.
Humanidades y dignidad del hombre en Baltasar Gracián
La obra de Gracián puede sintetizarse en la lucha del hombre entre dignidad y miseria. Y en esa guerra permanente, las Humanidades son una preciosa librea para salir victorioso de ella. Aurora Egido estudia "El héroe", "El politico", "El discurso", "El oráculo manual" y la "Agudeza" como un camino de sabiduría que culmina en "El criticón". En éste, se funden el discurso de las letras humanas y el de la dignidad del hombre con el curso de la vida, desde una perspectiva escéptica que, más alla del sueño del Humanismo, pone tales presupuestos a la prueba de la realidad vivida por los peregrinos del mundo. Gracias a la alegoría, el jesuita llevó a sus últimas consecuencias la agudeza de acción, mostrando la capacidad del hombre para remontar sus miserias y eternizarse por el valor de sus obras.
