Cultural Aspects of Translation
The second issue of the new book series Translation, Text and Interferences gathers a collection of papers dealing with a variety of topics focused on translation issues concerned with cultural issues stretching from ancient times until today. The contributors discuss mostly literary, but also a wide range of technical translations originated in the past and the present, and they include authors and corpora of texts in English, Spanish, German and French. The present collection of articles should serve as a useful platform for current work within the framework of multicultural topics and their ...
Text and Wine
Text and Wine: Approaches from terminology and translation collects part of the results of the research project WeinApp: Multilingual System of Information and Winegrowing-Resources (MINECO, Ref. FFI2016-79785-R), carried out by researchers from the universities of Cordoba and Cadiz (Spain), on wine production, the wine sector, and its language and terminology in English, French, German and Spanish. The editors, principal investigators of the project, begin the volume, which contains works on phytopathology, lexical domains and subdomains, wine tourism, agro-legal texts, Indo-European languages, labelling, tasting metaphors, wine and literature, interpretation, wine and medicine, oenological websites, and lexical and morphosyntactic formation around the language of wine.
Trust and Proof
Translators’ contribution to the vitality of textual production in the Renaissance is still often vastly underestimated. Drawing on a wide variety of sources published in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Latin, German, English, and Zapotec, this volume brings a global perspective to the history of translators, and the printed book. Together the essays point out the extent to which particular language cultures were liable to shift, overlap, shrink, and expand during one of the most defining periods in the history of print culture. Interdisciplinary in approach, Trust and Proof investigates translators’ role in the diffusion of discourse about languages and ancient knowledge, as well as changing etiquettes of reading and writing.
El cuerpo hendido, poéticas de la m/p/aternidad
Este volumen de ensayos y muestras creativas, coordinado por dos grandes creadores, investigadores y estudiosos de la literatura hispana y latinoamericana, ofrece un acercamiento alternativo a la escritura usual de la m/p/aternidad. Aquí la intención es “hablar” el cuerpo como algo opuesto/complementario a “dar a luz” al cuerpo. Y esto no sólo desde la perspectiva de la madre, que es la que tiene la capacidad biológica de engendrar, sino también del padre. A través de las voces de quienes escriben, pintan, hacen música o practican la medicina o la ley, la política, la educación o la investigación, los textos que conforman este libro se relacionan sí, con el ser madre o padre, pero desde el concepto de “deshacerse” el cuerpo de una vida/muerte que crece dentro del ser (vida/muerte de la madre o del niño); de oponerlo sublime (donación de la vida) con lo humillante (la doble “defecación del hijo” y de las heces), y lo frágil del momento (cuerpo de la madre o de la criatura) con lo indestructible (la m/p/aternidad en el vivir).
Scientific and Technical Translation
Technical translation (and technical terminology) encompasses the translation of special language texts. 1. "Style and Register" covers clarity of style, culture-specific and author-reader conventions and expectation. 2. "Special Applications" deals with the contribution of translation to the dissemination of science. 3. "Training and Autodidactic Approaches for Technical Translators" translators must master a broad range of frequently unanticipated topics, as well as linguistic competence. 4. "Text Analysis and Text Typology as Tools for Technical Translators" focuses attention on text typology and SGML in human translation and CAT. 5. "Translation-Oriented Terminology Activities" explores the different aspects of terminology: knowledge management, language planning, terminology resources and representation of concept systems.
Multiple Voices in Academic and Professional Discourse
The demands of today’s society for greater specialization have brought about a profound transformation in the humanities, which are not immune to the competitive pressure to meet new challenges that are present in other sectors. Thus, lecturers and researchers in modern languages and applied linguistics departments have made great efforts to design syllabi and materials more attuned to the competences and requirements of potential working environments. At the same time, linguists have attempted to apply their expertise in wider areas, creating research institutes that focus on applying language and linguistics in different contexts and offering linguistic services to society as a whole. Th...
The Ashgate Handbook of Legal Translation
This volume investigates advances in the field of legal translation both from a theoretical and practical perspective, with professional and academic insights from leading experts in the field.

Covering fundamental issues such as equivalence in legal translation, approaches to legal translation and the interaction between judicial interpretation and legal translation, the authors offer contributions from philosophical, rhetorical, terminological and lexicographical perspectives. Part II focuses on the analysis of legal translation from a practical perspective among different jurisdictions s...
Goliarda Sapienza in Context
The present edited collection of essays on the Sicilian author Goliarda Sapienza includes contributions from established and emerging scholars working in the field of contemporary women’s writing. Essays in this volume examine Sapienza through multiple perspectives, taking into account the articulation of subjectivity through autobiographical writing and the complex representation of gender and sexual identities. Also considered here is Sapienza’s oblique position within the Italian literary canon, with contributions moving beyond isolated textual analyses whilst attempting to situate the author’s works within a framework of intertextual and contextual cultural references. Exploring the fertile network of explicit and implicit intersections with Italian and European literature (English and French in particular), as well as with Western philosophical thought in which Sapienza’s texts are embedded, this volume will provide an overdue contribution to the belated appraisal of an author whose due recognition is, in Cesare Garboli’s words, only a matter of time: “Time will work in favour of Goliarda Sapienza’s works. And this is not a wish; it is a certainty.”
