Language, Power and Intercultural Communication
This book mainly addresses academics and students specialising in translation studies, as well as practitioners in the field, including translators, interpreters and subtitlers. It examines the mechanisms and components which make intercultural communication work, as well as the forces and actors which hinder it. The book’s translation/translator-oriented investigation of how power leaves imprints on the language(s) employed in communicating interculturally goes beyond the descriptive research method, embarking upon an analytical one instead. The case studies include Romanian political speech and filmic discourse with a political substratum, provided with annotations of their associated translations into English. In essence, the volume considers (multimodal) translation as discourse and practice, in close connection with the politics and policies governing them, and under the dominance of the various contemporary media. It thus broadens the scope of translation studies, traditionally a linguistics-oriented field, adding reading grids advanced by cultural studies and critical discourse analysis.
The Odyssey of Communism
This volume looks into the ways in which film has contaminated and re-shaped culture(s) and the collective unconscious, at both local and global levels, arguing that our lives have been impacted by the ‘then’ that we keep revisiting, lest we forget. It takes the reader from the Berlin Wall to China, and from the terror of communist political prisons and labour camps to the rosy image promoted by propaganda. A key point throughout the text is its interdisciplinary nature, as it brings together literature and film scholars, directors, sociologists and philosophers, whose overall conclusion is that communism, lingering in mentalities, still needs interrogation. Structured along four parts w...

Electromagnetic Radiation in Analysis and Design of Organic Materials
Bridging condensed matter physics, photochemistry, photophysics, and materials science, Electromagnetic Radiation in Analysis and Design of Organic Materials: Electronic and Biotechnology Applications covers physical properties of materials in the presence of radiation from across the electromagnetic spectrum. It describes the optical, spectral, thermal, and morphological properties of a wide range of materials and their practical implications in electronic and biotechnologies. It discusses recent advances in the use of radiation in analysis of materials and design for advanced applications. The book contains experimental and theoretical issues that reflect the impact of radiation on materials characteristics highlighting their ease of analysis or adaptation for applications as optical filters, drug delivery systems, antimicrobial layers, amphetamine detectors, or liquid crystal displays.
