Less Translated Languages

This is the first collection of articles devoted entirely to less translated languages, a term that brings together well-known, widely used languages such as Arabic or Chinese, and long-neglected minority languages — with power as the key word at play. It starts with some views on English, the dominant language in Translation as elsewhere, considers the role of translation for minority languages — both a source of inequality and a means to overcome it —, takes a look at translation from less translated major languages and cultures, and ends up with a closer look at translation into Catalan, a paradigmatic case of less translated language, in a final section that includes a vindication of six prominent Catalan translators. Combining sound theoretical insight and accurate analysis of relevant case studies, the contributors to this collection make a convincing case for a more thorough examination of less translated languages within the field of Translation Studies.

The Awakening

Recommended Age: From 9 to 99 years old. From the moment they were conceived in the mind of a writer, Bella and Griselda have been doomed to live out their days as mere characters in a book. One day, they decide to wrest control of their lives—if only for a day and a half—and, in so doing, risk changing their fates forever... The Awakening is the story of their adventure, the story of two princesses who rebel against the canons of their fairy-tale world and set out in search of their dreams. On the way, they learn new lessons, discover their true selves, and inspire others to change. The story of Bella and Griselda is the story of us all, of what we should do each and every day: open our...

Invisible Fields

  • Categories: Art

With the invention of telecommunications technologies in the late nineteenth century, the radio-electric spectrum became a tool for rethinking the world in which we live. The emission of radio waves did away with physical distances, crossing borders and cultures and acting as a powerful catalyst for trade. Moreover, the radio spectrum is the invisible infrastructure on which our information and communication technologies have been built. The history of its scientific discovery and how it was gradually colonized by the media, the military complex, and activists and hackers is one of the most fascinating stories of the twentieth century. The future uses of the radio-electric spectrum in the twenty-first century and its new potential are being decided now, with the end of analogue TV broadcasting worldwide marking the most important transformation of uses in the radio-electric space in decades. This catalog sets out to examine these issues and shed a little light on the most intriguing stories about the radio-electric spectrum.

The Social Impact of Automating Translation

This collection critically examines the practical impacts of machine translation (MT) through the lens of an ethics of care. It addresses the ideological issues in MT development linked to social hierarchies and explores the transformative potential of care ethics for more equitable technological progress. The volume explores the ideological constructs behind MT as a labor-saving technology, how these constructs are embedded in both its development and social reception, and how they manifest in biased outputs. The chapters cover the cultural roots of translation automation, its legal and political implications, and the needs of various stakeholders. These stakeholders include lay users, Indi...

Claret Serrahima

  • Categories: Art

The four chapters in this book focus on different aspects of Serrahima's work, from his conceptual and strategic design to his more free and irreverent works; a compilation of excerpts from his career, work, obsessions and achievements that steals a glance at this hyperactive creator in his most active period with the studio Clase bcn. Taking the view-point of graphic artist and urban cultural activist, the graphic image becomes a narrative line that draws for us the designer, the communicator, the visual chronicler, vocational artist, the draughtsman photographer, the cultural activist--in short, the storyteller.
