Towards an Atlas of the History of Interpreting
The aspiration of an Atlas is to cover the whole world, by compiling cartographical material representing territories from across the five continents. This book intends to contribute to that ideally comprehensive, yet always unfinished, Atlas with pieces gathered from all of the Earth’s regions. However, its focus is not so much of a geographical nature (although maps and geographical reflections are not absent in its pages), but of a historical-analytical one. As such, the Atlas engages in the historical analysis of interpreters (of both language and cultures) in multiple interpreting settings and places, including in zones which are less frequently studied in specialized literature, in d...
Current Trends in the Historiography of Inquisitions
This volume launches the book series of “Inquire – International Centre for Research on Inquisitions” of the University of Bologna, a research network that engages with the history of religious justice from the 13th to the 20th century. This first publication offers twenty chapters that take stock of the current historiography on medieval and early modern Inquisitions (the Spanish, Portuguese and Roman Inquisitions) and their modern continuations. Through the analysis of specific questions related to religious repression in Europe and the Iberian colonial territories extending from the Middle Ages to today, the contributions here examine the history of the perception of tribunals and the most recent historiographical trends. New research perspectives thus emerge on a subject that continues to intrigue those interested in the practices of justice and censorship, the history of religious dissent and the genesis of intolerance in the Western world and beyond.
In Good Faith
The century that followed the fall of Granada at the end of 1491 and the subsequent consolidation of Christian power over the Iberian Peninsula was marked by the introduction of anti-Arabic legislation and the development of hostile cultural norms affecting Arabic speakers. Yet as Spanish institutions of power first restricted and then eliminated Arabic language use, marginalizing Arabic-speaking communities, officially sanctioned translation to and from Arabic played an increasingly crucial role in brokering the administration of the growing Spanish empire and its overseas territories. The move on the peninsula from a regime of legal pluralism to one of religious and legal orthodoxy created...
Las Islas Canarias en viajeras de lengua alemana
Este libro estudia los primeros textos escritos por viajeras de lengua alemana sobre Canarias. Llegadas entre 1902 y 1914, nos dejaron las impresiones que les produjeron las Islas, su atmósfera y su historia. Un acercamiento a estos relatos pone de relieve el punto de vista europeo sobre un Archipiélago que se ha convertido en importante destino turístico. El lector encontrará en estas páginas no solo aspectos lingüístico-traductológicos como la investigación de fuentes o la presencia de hispanismos en textos alemanes, sino también un estudio del problemático género de la literatura de viajes con sus varios tipos formales y distintos tópicos de contenido.

New Insights in the History of Interpreting
Who mediated intercultural exchanges in 9th-century East Asia or in early voyages to the Americas? Did the Soviets or the Americans invent simultaneous interpreting equipment? How did the US government train its first Chinese interpreters? Why is it that Taiwanese interpreters were executed for Japanese war crimes? Bringing together papers from an international symposium held at Rikkyo University in 2014 along with two select pieces, this volume pursues such questions in an eclectic exploration of the practice of interpreting, the recruitment of interpreters, and the challenges interpreters have faced in diplomacy, colonization, religion, war, and occupation. It also introduces innovative use of photography, artifacts, personal journals, and fiction as tools for the historical study of interpreters and interpreting. Targeted at practitioners, scholars, and students of interpreting, translation, and history, the new insights presented in the ten original articles aim to spark discussion and research on the vital roles interpreters have played in intercultural communication through history. Now Open Access as part of the Knowledge Unlatched 2017 Backlist Collection.
LOS LÍMITES (y algunas miserias) DE LAS CIENCIAS
Tengo la convicción de que la ciencia es uno de los más maravillosos inventos humanos y la forma de conocimiento disponible más idónea. Sin embargo, este libro no es un acrítico panegírico de sus logros; pero tampoco, a pesar de que el título pueda sugerirlo, un nuevo rezongo anticientífico posmoderno. Se ocupa, en cambio, de recorrer algunos de los límites de esa actividad que nos ha dado episodios deslumbrantes y, como toda práctica humana, también puede incluir un costado abyecto. Se abordan temas que habitualmente son considerados como algo irrelevantes o externos a las ciencias en sentido estricto. Esos temas que están siempre en los bordes, en los suburbios, pero que surgen...
Traducción y representaciones del conflicto desde España y América
La mediación lingüística entre España y América en compleja y multifacética. Su análisis contribuye a explicar otros fenómenos de transformación sociocultural distintos de la lengua, y que requiere ser explorado desde la interdisciplinaridad. Los lectores encontraran reflexiones organizadas en torno a cuatro secciones bien diferenciadas. Las dos primeras abordan las relaciones entre la traducción y el conflicto vistas desde el prisma de la historia, y consideran las fronteras geopolíticas como los espacios genuinos donde entraron en liza identidades y alteridades en permanente evolución, el tablero de juego donde se desarrolló el juego colonial iniciado desde la Península Ibér...
