Espacios de transculturación en América Latina
Los artículos que componen este libro provienen de algunas de las mejores ponencias presentadas en las V Jornadas de Estudiantes de Postgrado en Humanidades, Artes y Ciencias Sociales, realizadas entre el 19 y el 21 de enero del 2004 en la Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades de la Universidad de Chile. En esa ocasión, el tema a partir del cual invitamos a pensar y discutir aspectos de la realidad cultural latinoamericana fue el concepto de transculturación, el cual implica, en el contexto de las regiones de hegemonía entre culturas, un proceso en el cual la cultura hegemonizada pierde ciertos elementos, a la vez que actúa y/o reacciona creativamente generando rasgos nuevos. De esta for...

Golden Aging
Compared to other regions, Europe and Central Asia are by far the oldest. Moreover, population aging is set to accelerate further over the coming decades as large segments turn old. Additionally, some countries such as Russia and certain Eastern European countries are facing a shrinkage of their population. Against this backdrop, this report investigates what stands in the way of societies reaping the full benefits of increased longevity--that is, longer lives and potentially prolonged payoffs from human capital--and what can help to mitigate the possible negative impacts of a smaller and older workforce. Beginning with a focus on demographic trends, the report puts the rapid decline in fert...
East Asia and Pacific Economic Update October 2014
In China, growth will gradually moderate, reflecting intensified policy efforts to address financial vulnerabilities and structural constraints, and place the economy on a more sustainable growth path. In the rest of the region, growth will pick up, as exports firm in line with strengthening global activity, and the impact of domestic adjustment in large ASEAN countries eases. Significant uncertainties remain about the sustainability of the global recovery, and global financial conditions are likely to tighten. The short-term priority in several countries is to address the vulnerabilities and inefficiencies created by an extended period of loose financial conditions and fiscal stimulus. In China, the authorities need to strike a balance between containing growing risks from rising leverage and meeting the indicative growth targets. Over the longer term, the focus in most countries must be on structural reforms to enhance export competitiveness. The report’s special section focuses on education & skills development; international migration; and the policy priorities for the Pacific Island Countries.
Homer And Langley
Brilliant brothers Langley and Homer Collyer are born into bourgeois New York comfort in settled times, their home a fin-de-siècle mansion on upper Fifth Avenue, their future rosy. But before he is out of his teens Homer begins to lose his sight, Langley returns from the War in Europe with his lungs seared by gas, and when the death of their parents in the influenza epidemic of 1918 leaves the brothers orphaned, they seem perilously ill-equipped to deal with the new era. Around Central Park carriages give way to motor cars, Prohibition to free love, but Homer and Langley adapt: their townhouse fills and empties and fills again, with servants, lodgers, tea-dancers and gangsters. They are mocked and spied on, embraced by hippies and besieged by bailiffs, but as the world turns ever more incomprehensible Homer and Langley hold fast to their principles of self-reliance, courage, kindness and love, and they endure.
Cervantes en las antípodas
A más de cuatrocientos años de su publicación, el Quijote –y con él, toda la obra de Miguel de Cervantes– sigue gozando de una radical vigencia estética que lo constituye como un hito insoslayable en el desarrollo de la historia de la literatura y el arte. Y es que la escritura cervantina, poseedora de una prodigiosa capacidad para abrirse a siempre renovadas lecturas y relecturas, interpela permanentemente a quienes se aproximan a sus páginas para instalar preguntas tan fundamentales como qué es la ficción y qué es la realidad o dónde termina la cordura y comienza la locura. En este libro se reúnen quince ensayos e investigaciones que plantean diferentes abordajes y respuesta...
Evaluation in Translation
In this book, Jeremy Munday presents advances towards a general theory of evaluation in translator decision-making that will be of high importance to translator and interpreter training and to descriptive translation analysis. By ‘evaluation’ the author refers to how a translator’s subjective stance manifests itself linguistically in a text. In a world where translation and interpreting function as a prism through which opposing personal and political views enter a target culture, it is crucial to investigate how such views are processed and sometimes subjectively altered by the translator. To this end, the book focuses on the translation process (rather than the product) and strives to identify more precisely those points where the translator is most likely to express judgment or evaluation. The translations studied cover a range of languages (Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Russian, Spanish and American Sign Language) accompanied by English glosses to facilitate comprehension by readers. This is key reading for researchers and postgraduates studying translation theory within Translation and Interpreting Studies.
