The Communicative Grammatical Function of Cognate Infinitives in Lebanese Arabic
Cognate Infinitives have been identified and described as productive linguistic features within Arabic language and along the Semitic continuum. However, their full range of function remains largely unstudied in the spoken varieties of Arabic. This study proposes a new grammatical model for the analysis and description of Cognate Infinitives in Lebanese Arabic that accounts for this feature’s semantic, informational, affective and social functions. It suggests that Cognate Infinitives function as focus markers and are efficient communicative tools for a variety of attention management actions as well as for ‘face’ management strategies. The findings of this study therefore replace the omnipresent notion of “adverbial emphasis” with a definition of “focus” that comprises both informational and affective factors.
Interpreting Conflict
This edited book examines the role of interpreting in conflict situations, bringing together studies from different international and intercultural contexts, with contributions from military personnel, humanitarian interpreters and activists as well as academics. The authors use case studies to compare relevant notions of interpreting in conflict-related scenarios such as: the positionality of the interpreter, the ethical, emotional and security implications of their work, the specific training needed to carry out work for military and humanitarian organizations, and the relations of power created between the different stakeholders. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of translation and interpreting, conflict and peace studies, as well as conflict resolution and management.

Decolonising Political Concepts
This book presents a transdisciplinary and transnational challenge to the enduring coloniality of political concepts, discussing the need to decolonise both their theoretical constructions as well as their substantive translations into practices. Despite the acclaimed 20th century decolonisation waves, coloniality still remains in subtle and obvious practices, in visible and invisible mechanisms of power, in the privileging of certain knowledges and the dismissing of others. Decolonising Political Concepts critically addresses the role political concepts play in the continuing legacies of colonialism and ongoing coloniality. This book, building on postcolonial and decolonial thinkers and ide...

La raíz semítica de lo europeo
Excelente síntesis de un material ingente. La profusión de nombres y escuelas está claramente articulada en torno a los grandes temas aportados por el componente semítico de nuestra cultura, insistiendo en las dimensiones imaginativas, amorosas, estéticas e intuitivas de este pensamiento, así como en la profunda remodelación del legado griego llevado a cabo por musulmanes y judíos. Desde la puesta en entredicho del sentido reduccionista de «Europa» al magistral cuestionamiento de la periodización acostumbrada, como si la Edad Media fuera un lapso entre Grecia y la Modernidad, el estudio reivindica los factores de la alteridad y la mezcla de culturas para acceder a un sentido más rico y complejo de lo que significa, hoy, sentirse «europeo».
