Far Away Is Here. Lejos es aquí
Far Away Is Here/Lejos es aquí ofrece miradas cruzadas sobre los fenómenos de escritura que radican en las migraciones contemporáneas. En las secciones del volumen –Taxonomías y ontologías, Imágenes, Diásporas, Lenguas– se presentan cuestiones teóricas y case studies sobre la escritura migratoria tanto en países tradicionalmente receptores (EE. UU. y Canadá), como en antiguas potencias coloniales (Francia y Reino Unido), en actuales gigantes económicos (Alemania) o en naciones que han pasado de ser países de inmigración a países de emigración (Argentina) o a la inversa (España, Italia, Portugal). Allí viven los escritores cuya producción suele encasillarse como ethnic literature, ‘literatura migrante’, littérature-monde, Interkulturelle Literatur y que aquí se considera desde una perspectiva comparatista.
Navigating Foreign Language Learner Autonomy
Navigating Foreign Language Learner Autonomy provides novel insights into both the theory and practice of learner autonomy in the context of foreign language education, and does so in multiple languages and through multiple voices. The contributing authors showcase effective practices and new directions in research, but also report on the status quo of learner autonomy at institutions around the world. Most of the authors write about their experiences with implementing foreign language learner autonomy in their home or dominant language(s). The volume contains full chapters or extracts in 15 languages: Czech, Danish, English, Finnish, German, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Mandarin Chinese, Māori, Portuguese, Spanish, Thai, and Turkish. Each chapter is accompanied by a chapter or summary in English, along with a glossary and some reflective questions. As a starting point, a theoretical introduction is provided by David Little, and to conclude, the editors analyse the narratives of the contributors and comment on the process of navigating autonomy through different languages.
Writing Migration through the Body
Writing Migration through the Body builds a study of the body as a mutable site for negotiating and articulating the transnational experience of mobility. At its core stands a selection of recent migration stories in Italian, which are brought into dialogue with related material from cultural studies and the visual arts. Occupying no single disciplinary space, and drawing upon an elaborate theoretical framework ranging from phenomenology to anthropology, human geography and memory studies, this volume explores the ways in which the skin itself operates as a border, and brings to the surface the processes by which a sense of place and self are described and communicated through the migrant body. Through investigating key concepts and practices of transnational embodied experience, the book develops the interpretative principle that the individual bodies which move in contemporary migration flows are the primary agents through which the transcultural passages of images, emotions, ideas, memories – and also histories and possible futures – are enacted.

Learner and Teacher Autonomy in Higher Education
This volume pools the insights and experiences of a group of international researchers on different aspects of autonomy and related issues. Although autonomy is acknowledged as one of the main goals of education, in higher education the need for accountability and standardisation of learning outcomes constrain its development.

Writing the North of the North / L’Écriture du Nord du Nord / Den Norden des Nordens (be-)schreiben
The expression “North of the North” refers both to an objective, geographical reality – the territories situated at the highest latitudes on our planet – and to a subjective, mental construction which came into being many centuries ago and has been developed, modified and differentiated ever since. The chapters in the present volume examine various aspects of that concept, analysing texts and works of art from a range of regions and periods. La notion de « Nord du Nord » renvoie tout autant à la réalité géographique objective que sont les territoires des latitudes les plus élevées de notre planète qu’à une construction mentale subjective qui s’est constituée, développ...
Blaze
Clay Blaisdell, llamado Blaze por todos, mide dos metros y pesa ciento treinta y seis kilos. Es un verdadero gigante. Sin embargo, hasta conocer a George Rackley nunca había hecho nada grande. George Rackley enseñó a Blaze cien maneras de estafar a la gente e ideó para él un plan ambicioso: secuestrar a un niño rico. La familia Gerard es multimillonaria y el nuevo retoño del clan valdrá muchos de estos millones. Solo hay un problema: cuando llega el momento de ponerlo todo en marcha, George, el cerebro de la operación (y de todo lo que hacen), muere. O quizá no... Por eso Blaze se encuentra huyendo desesperado de una tormenta y de la policía. Ha conseguido raptar al bebé, pero el secuestro se ha convertido en una carrera contrarreloj a través de los bosques infernales de Maine. La crítica ha dicho... « Blaze es una pieza esencial en la bibliografía de King. Siempre convincente, tiende un puente entre las novelas de Bachman y el terrible poder de Carrie.» The Independent

Rereading Schleiermacher: Translation, Cognition and Culture
This book celebrates the bicentenary of Schleiermacher’s famous Berlin conference "On the Different Methods of Translating" (1813). It is the product of an international Call for Papers that welcomed scholars from many international universities, inviting them to discuss and illuminate the theoretical and practical reception of a text that is not only arguably canonical for the history and theory of translation, but which has moreover never ceased to be present both in theoretical and applied Translation Studies and remains a mandatory part of translator training. A further reason for initiating this project was the fact that the German philosopher and theologian Friedrich Schleiermacher, though often cited in Translation Studies up to the present day, was never studied in terms of his real impact on different domains of translation, literature and culture.
