Ideology and Conference Interpreting A Case Study of the Summer Davos Forum in China

Ideology and Conference Interpreting A Case Study of the Summer Davos Forum in China

Gao uses the case of conference interpreting at the Summer Davos Forum in China to systematically reveal the ways in which ideology and linguistic ‘re-engineering’ can lead to discourse reconstruction. Translation and interpreting can never be wholly neutral practices in ‘multi-voiced’ transnational communication. Gao employs an innovative methodological synthesis to examine in depth a range of elements surrounding interpreters’ ideological positioning. These include analysing the appraisal patterns of the source and target texts identifying ‘us’-and-‘them’ discourse structures investigating interpreters’ cognitions and examining the crossmodal means by which interpreters render paralanguage. Collectively they bridge the gap between socio-political and ideological concerns on the one hand and practical questions of discourse reconstruction in cross-language/ cultural events on the other offering a panoramic perspective. An invaluable read for scholars in translation and interpreting studies particularly those with an interest in political discourse or the international relations context. | Ideology and Conference Interpreting A Case Study of the Summer Davos Forum in China

The Language of Hate A Corpus Lingusitic Analysis of White Supremacist Language

The Language of Hate A Corpus Lingusitic Analysis of White Supremacist Language

In this book Andrew Brindle analyzes a corpus of texts taken from a white supremacist web forum which refer to the subject of homosexuality drawing conclusions about the discourses of extremism and the dissemination of far-right hate speech online. The website from which Brindle’s corpus is drawn Stormfront has been described as the most powerful active influence in the White Nationalist movement (Kim 2005). Through a linguistic analysis of the data combining corpus linguistic methodologies and a critical discourse analysis approach Brindle examines the language used to construct heterosexual white masculinities as well as posters’ representations of gay men racial minorities and other out-groups and how such groups are associated by the in-group. Brindle applies three types of analysis to the corpus: a corpus-driven approach centered on the study of frequency keywords collocation and concordance analyses; a detailed qualitative study of posts from the forum and the threads in which they are located; and a corpus-based approach which combines the corpus linguistic and qualitative analyses. The analysis of the data demonstrates a convergence of reactionary responses to not only women gay men and lesbians but also to racial minorities. Brindle’s findings suggest that due to the forum format of the data topics are discussed and negotiated rather than dictated unilaterally as would be the case in a hierarchical organization. This research-based study of white supremacist discourse on the Internet facilitates understanding of hate speech and the behavior of extremist groups with the aim of providing tools to combat elements of extremism and intolerance in society. | The Language of Hate A Corpus Lingusitic Analysis of White Supremacist Language

Water for the Americas Challenges and Opportunities

Water for the Americas Challenges and Opportunities

The chapters in this volume are peer reviewed editions of the papers presented at the 7th meeting of the Rosenberg International Forum on Water Policy which was held in Buenos Aires Argentina on November 15-17 2010. The theme for Forum VII was Water for the Americas: Challenges and Opportunities. This Forum was unique in examining the water problems of the Americas and identifying water management experience gleaned in other parts of the world that might be useful in addressing the problems of the Americas. The sessions illustrated how the water problems of the Americas are common problems differing only in degree from basin to basin. There was unanimity among the participants about the need for all inhabitants of the Americas to work together to ensure that everyone has access to adequate quantities of healthy water supplies and to appropriate sanitation services. This volume’s approach is to identify different responses and policies that address common issues and learn from contrasts and experiences. The value and potential that this approach affords is that it provides critical judgments about what has worked well and what needs to be done to gain a better future for the Americas’ water resources and society. Some issues covered in the volume are so pressing and urgent chief among them is serving the unserved that any delays putting out new facilities in many a rural areas of Central America may cost lives and reduce the outlook for children. Additionally the volume makes clear that the outlook for the poorest and the future of hundreds of growing cities are threatened by climate change. This book looks into the future by analyzing present and relevant data and gains insight from the different developmental stages of the hemisphere. | Water for the Americas Challenges and Opportunities

Challenging the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement 20 Years of Responding to Anti-Israel Campaigns

Challenging the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement 20 Years of Responding to Anti-Israel Campaigns

Challenging the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement focuses on the efforts to oppose antisemitism the academic boycott and the BDS movement. The State of Israel has faced many threats most of them military since it was established in 1948 but the threat posed by the NGO forum at the United Nations World Conference against Racism in Durban South Africa in August 2001 was different. The forum unleashed the new antisemitism which targeted the State of Israel as well as a non-violent civil society-based campaign based on the South African anti-apartheid campaign of the 1980s – which was to form the basis of the international Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement directed at the State of Israel. Featuring case studies from the United States Great Britain Israel and South Africa each chapter of this wide-ranging volume discusses examples of opposition to the divisive BDS campaign and the proposed academic boycott of Israel over the last two decades including the fight for formal recognition of the new antisemitism by governments and international bodies and the use of a variety of legal measures. The rise of antisemitism within academia and wider society is also examined. This book will be vital reading for students scholars and activists with an interest in social movements Israel and Middle East politics and history. | Challenging the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Movement 20 Years of Responding to Anti-Israel Campaigns

They explore readings of the modernist/postmodernist debate and specific studies in curriculum politics and history rhetoric language and literacy education media studies and educational linguistics.

Contemporary Christian-Muslim Dialogue Two Twenty-First Century Initiatives

Contemporary Christian-Muslim Dialogue Two Twenty-First Century Initiatives

This book introduces and examines the work of two significant 21st century Christian – Muslim dialogue initiatives – Building Bridges and the Christian–Muslim Theological Forum – and gives close attention to five theological themes that have been addressed in common by them. An overview and analysis including inception development outputs and significance together with discussion of the select themes – community scripture prophecy prayer and ethics – allows for an in-depth examination of significant contemporary Muslim and Christian scholarship on issues important to both faith communities. The result is a challenging encounter to arguably a widespread default presumption of irredeemable mutual hostility and inevitable mutual rejection with instances of violent extremism as a consequence. Demonstrating the reality that deep interreligious engagement is possible between the two faiths today this book should appeal to a wide readership including upper undergraduate and graduate teaching as well as professionals and practitioners in the field of Christian-Muslim relations. | Contemporary Christian-Muslim Dialogue Two Twenty-First Century Initiatives

Sadism Psychoanalytic Developmental Perspectives

Sadism Psychoanalytic Developmental Perspectives

Sadism: Psychoanalytic Developmental Perspectives is founded on the premise that paying close attention to what is happening in our internal world can help us understand the rise of sadism in the world of popular culture.

This book acts as a forum in which psychotherapists present psychoanalytic perspectives on the phenomenon of sadomasochism at different stages of the human lifecycle: in childhood adolescence adulthood and in later life and consider its developmental roots. Over the last half-century through books movies computerized video games and drama the stories we are being sold as representing aspects of contemporary culture market two commodities: sadism and victory. How might we understand this and can psychoanalysis help us make meaning of this aspect of human relating? | Sadism Psychoanalytic Developmental Perspectives
