Theories on the Move
Within translation studies books on translating conceptually dense texts, such as philosophical or theoretical writings, are remarkably few. Although the translation of literature has been a favourite topic for many decades, the translation of theories on literature has been neglected. The phrase ‘theories of translation’ is everywhere, but ‘translation of theories’ is a rare sight. On the other hand, the term ‘translation’ has become a commonplace in literary and cultural studies – yet usually as a rhetorical figure describing the fate of those who struggle between two worlds and two languages, such as migrants or women. Not much attention has been paid to the role of ‘trans...
An Introductory Course to Philosophy of Language
Language is what we all share and is our common concern. What is the nature of language? How is language related to the world? How is communication possible via language? What is the impact of language on our reasoning and thinking? Many people are unaware that misunderstandings and conflicts during communication occur as a result of the way we use language. This book introduces the central issues in the history of philosophical investigations about the concept of language. Topics are structured with reference to the world’s foremost philosophers of language. The book will encourage the reader to explore the depths of the concept of language and will raise an awareness of this distinctive human capacity.
When the French Tried to Be British
The restoration of the Bourbon monarchy in 1814 was accompanied by the grant of the Charte - a written constitution modeled on what its authors imagined to be the contemporary British practice of parliamentary monarchy. A unique experiment, in effect it meant attempting to implement institutions and practices that had little basis in French history and culture and that, in Britain, had evolved slowly and largely without conscious planning.
The Lost History of Liberalism
"The Lost History of Liberalism challenges our most basic assumptions about a political creed that has become a rallying cry - and a term of derision - in today's increasingly divided public square. Taking readers from ancient Rome to today, Helena Rosenblatt traces the evolution of the words "liberal" and "liberalism," revealing the heated debates that have taken place over their meaning. In this timely and provocative book, Rosenblatt debunks the popular myth of liberalism as a uniquely Anglo-American tradition centered on individual rights. It was only during the Cold War and America's growing world hegemony that liberalism was refashioned into an American ideology focused so strongly on individual freedoms."--
Aims and Prospects of Semiotics
Annotation. The two monumental volumes making up this collection of essays hold the names of the world s most renowned and respected scholars in the field of semiotics, and does more than full justice to the extraordinary career of Algirdas Julien Greimas. Before this mer á boire of some seventy five essays kicks off, the editors present a state-of-the art introduction, which is followed by a unique bio-bibliography of A.J. Greimas that trails the career of the master writer in unparalleled fashion through the years.
The Demands of Liberty
Arguing that the French have cherished and demonized Jacobinism at the same time--their hearts following Robespierre, but their heads turning toward Benjamin Constant--Rosanvallon traces the long history of resistance to Jacobinism, including the creation of associations and unions and the implementation of elements of decentralization.

Semiotics
This series of HANDBOOKS OF LINGUISTICS AND COMMUNICATION SCIENCE is designed to illuminate a field which not only includes general linguistics and the study of linguistics as applied to specific languages, but also covers those more recent areas which have developed from the increasing body of research into the manifold forms of communicative action and interaction. For "classic" linguistics there appears to be a need for a review of the state of the art which will provide a reference base for the rapid advances in research undertaken from a variety of theoretical standpoints, while in the more recent branches of communication science the handbooks will give researchers both an verview and ...
Bizi Şekillendiren Kültür SOSYAL VE KÜLTÜREL ANTROPOLOJİYE GİRİŞ
Yüz yılı aşkın zamandır “insan”ı bütüncül olarak ele alma iddiasında bulunan antropoloji, yeni bir sosyal bilim dalı olarak tarihteki yerini almış; zaman içinde kültürel olguların değişmesiyle kendisi de dönüşüme uğramış, alt disiplinlere ayrılmıştır. Bizi Şekillendiren Kültür – Sosyal ve Kültürel Antropolojiye Giriş kitabı da bu sosyal bilim alanını tanıtıcı bir metin olarak okuyucuya sunuyor. Antropolojinin ortaya çıktığı koşullardan başlayarak diğer sosyal bilimlerle etkileşimini izleyen bu kitapta; kuramsal yaklaşımlar kadar antropolojinin; saha deneyimleri, araştırma yöntemleri, dil, iktisat, cinsiyet, aile, siyaset, hukuk, din ve sanat alanlarını değerlendirmesi de tartışılıyor. Aynı kalan ve/veya başkalaşan herşey kültürün alanına giriyorsa insana dair ortaklıklar ve farklılıklar da kültürel antropolojinin çalışma alanına giriyor demektir. Bu kitap; "bizi şekillendiren kültür"ü, "kültürü şekillendiren biz"i dahil ederek tartışıyor ve iki yönlü bir antropoloji çerçevesi çiziyor.
Teolojik Hermenötik
Hermenötikçiler Newton’ın sözünden esinlenerek, “dünya hermenötik dilde yazılmış bir kitaptır” derler. Bu sözde abartma olduğu söylense bile, bir hakikat payının bulunduğu da aşikârdır; çünkü dünyanın bilgisi ve var oluşu, dünyada var oluş insan için bir anlama sahiptir. Öbür taraftan gerçekte biz, bir insan olarak çeşitli pratik davranışlarımızı; sosyal ve kültürel dünya ile ilişkilerimizi düzenlemeye her zaman kendimizi zorunlu hissederiz. Bunu da ancak dille yapabiliriz. İnsanlarla bir arada yaşamak, çeşitli önermeler söylemekten ve anlamlı olduklarını düşündüğümüz, insani önermeleri anlamaktan başka bir şey midir?
