A Deaf Take on Non-Equivalence in Written Chinese Translation

A Deaf Take on Non-Equivalence in Written Chinese Translation

A Deaf Take on Non-Equivalence in Written Chinese Translation examines the issue of lexical non-equivalence between written Chinese and Hong Kong Sign Language (HKSL) translation describing its theoretical and practical implications. This research foregrounds the semiotic resources in the Deaf community of Hong Kong by analyzing translation strategies exhibited by Deaf Hongkongers when they were invited to translate written Chinese passages with specialized and culturally specific concepts in a monologic setting. With discourse analysis as a framework the major findings of this research were that: (1) a taxonomy of strategies featured depiction manual representations of Chinese characters and visual metonymy writing and mouthing; (2) employment of multisemiotic and multimodal resources gave intended viewers access to different facets of meaning; and (3) repeated renditions of the same concepts gave rise to condensed abbreviated occasionalisms. Observations from this research serve as a point of reference for interpreting scholars practitioners and students as well as policymakers who formulate interpretation service provision and assessment.

Frederick Douglass and Ireland In His Own Words

Frederick Douglass and Ireland In His Own Words

Frederick Douglass spent four months in Ireland at the end of 1845 that proved to be in his own words ‘transformative’. He reported that for the first time in his life he felt like a man and not a chattel. Whilst in residence he became a spokesperson for the abolition movement but by the time he left the country in early January 1846 he believed that the cause of the slave was the cause of the oppressed everywhere. This book adds new insight into Frederick Douglass and his time in Ireland. Contemporary newspaper accounts of the lectures that Douglass gave during his tour of Ireland (in Dublin Wexford Waterford Cork Limerick and Belfast) have been located and transcribed. The speeches are annotated and accompanied by letters written by Douglass during his stay. In this way for the first time we hear Douglass in his own words. | Frederick Douglass and Ireland In His Own Words

Choice and Circumstance

Choice and Circumstance

First published in 1986. Forty five percent of black women have at least one child by the time they are turn twenty compared to 19 percent of white women. Eight-six percent of the births to black teens occurred to unmarried mothers compared to 30 percent among whites. Research shows that teenage childbearing has negative medical social and economic consequences and that women who first gave birth as teenagers are more likely to raise their families in poverty. In Choice and Circumstance the authors explore tree factors underlying the racial differences in the incidence of early childbearing; information about sex pregnancy and contraception; need for family planning and abortion services; and motivation for postponing parenthood including aspirations for schooling employment plans and desire for children within marriage. They consider which teens postpone sex and pregnancy and why and whether the kinds of motivation necessary to prevent early pregnancy vary by race in the United Sates perhaps explaining the race differences in early childbearing.

Between Coercion and Private Initiative Entrepreneurial Freedom of Action during the ‘Third Reich’

Between Coercion and Private Initiative Entrepreneurial Freedom of Action during the ‘Third Reich’

This book explores the extent of private companies’ freedom of action during the Nazi period through six case studies of different economic sectors. Since the mid-1990s historical research has intensively discussed the role played by private domestic and foreign enterprises during the ‘Third Reich’. Numerous case studies suggest that even under the extreme ideological circumstances of the ‘Third Reich’ the strategic decisions of private firms followed economic criteria. In fact the regime was especially able to control the economy successfully in those cases in which it operated with economic incentives and gave companies room for manoeuvre. This scope however became increasingly smaller towards the end of the war due to increasing state intervention and government control. The chapters discuss this scope of action and relate it to the National Socialist crimes. This book was originally published as a special issue of Business History. | Between Coercion and Private Initiative Entrepreneurial Freedom of Action during the ‘Third Reich’

Death Burial and the Individual in Early Modern England

Death Burial and the Individual in Early Modern England

First published in 1984 Death Burial and the Individual in Early Modern England traces how and why the modern reaction to death has come about by examining English attitudes to death since the Middle Ages. In earlier centuries death was very much in the midst of life since it was not as now associated mainly with old age. War plague and infant mortality gave it a very different aspect to its present one. The author shows in detail how modern concern with the individual has gradually alienated death from our society; the greater the emphasis on personal uniqueness the more intense the anguish when an individual dies. Changes in attitudes to death are traced through alterations in funeral rituals covering all sections of society from paupers to princes. This gracefully written book is a unique scholarly and thorough treatment of the subject providing both a sensitive insight into the feelings of people in early modern England and an explanation of the modern anxiety about death. The range and assurance of this book will commend it to historians and the interested general reader alike.

Carl Jung and Alcoholics Anonymous The Twelve Steps as a Spiritual Journey of Individuation

Carl Jung and Alcoholics Anonymous The Twelve Steps as a Spiritual Journey of Individuation

The author visited the archives of the headquarters of A. A. in New York and discovered new communications between Carl Jung and Bill Wilson. For the first time this correspondence shows Jung's respect for A. A. and in turn its influence on him. In particular this research shows how Bill Wilson was encouraged by Jung's writings to promote the spiritual aspect of recovery as opposed to the conventional medical model which has failed so abysmally. The book overturns the long-held belief that Jung distrusted groups. Indeed influenced by A. A. 's success Jung gave complete and detailed instructions on how the A. A. group format could be developed further and used by general neurotics. Wilson was an advocate of treating some alcoholics with LSD in order to deflate the ego and induce a spiritual experience. The author explains how alcoholism can be diagnosed and understood by professionals and the lay person; by examining the detailed case histories of Jung the author gives graphic examples of its psychological and behavioural manifestations. | Carl Jung and Alcoholics Anonymous The Twelve Steps as a Spiritual Journey of Individuation

Evolution of the British Party System 1885-1940

Evolution of the British Party System 1885-1940

By the end of the nineteenth century reform and development of the British electoral system had inaugurated a new style of mass politics which fundamentally transformed the face of the British party system. This book traces the evolution of recognisably modern parties from their roots in the 1880s through half a century of dramatic change in organisational structure electoral competition and constitutional thought. In the House of Commons the Labour Party replaced the Liberals as the radical answer to the Conservative Party. In the country at large the complex web of Victorian social regional and religious allegiances gave way to a cruder but more dynamic model of modern political loyalties. The transformation at Westminster and in the constituencies is surveyed in relation to changes to the franchise (including the vote for women) class consciousness political organisation and doctrine. The comprehensive account explains the varying fortunes of the parties in the face of mass democracy collectivism the First World War and economic uncertainty. It also provides a critical insight into the debates and conflicts of interpretation which surround this pivotal period in British political history. | Evolution of the British Party System 1885-1940

A British Education Control Officer in Occupied Germany 1945–1949 The Letters of Edward Aitken-Davies

Edward Aitken-Davies (1899-1981) served as an Education Control Officer in the British Zone of occupied Germany from the early summer of 1945 until December 1949. He thus experienced the implementation of policy in the Zone from the very beginnings of the occupation until the founding of the Federal Republic of German y in 1949. During the period 1945 to 1947 he wrote weekly letters home to his mother.

Valencian Folktales Volume 2 Enric Valor

Valencian Folktales Volume 2 Enric Valor

Enric Valor (1911–2000) is one of the most important Valencian authors of the 20th century. He has been until now almost completely unknown to an English-speaking audience. Following the publication of Valencian Folktales (2023) this second collection of his tales will help to consolidate work done on Valor in English opening up both his fiction and the specificity of Valencian culture to Anglophone readers. The stories included here offer a sampling of the various types of tales he wrote: magical-theme tales local-color tales and tales with personified animals. Valor collected these stories from the inhabitants of small towns and villages in the south of the Valencian territory and later gave them a polished literary reworking. They are characterized by a detailed and lyrical treatment of the landscape and natural habitat of the region and an entertaining sense of humor. The selection begins with an introduction written by Maria-Lluisa Gea-Valor co-translator and the author’s granddaughter. It provides a brief background to Valor’s biography discusses the selected tales in the context of the folklore tradition and examines issues of the translation process ranging from general considerations to more specific aspects. | Valencian Folktales Volume 2 Enric Valor

The Maternal Image of God in Victorian Literature

The Maternal Image of God in Victorian Literature

This book is the study of a religious metaphor: the idea of God as a mother in British and US literature 1850–1915. It uncovers a tradition of writers for whom divine motherhood embodied ideals felt to be missing from the orthodox masculine deity. Elizabeth Gaskell Josephine Butler George Macdonald Frances Hodgson Burnett and Charlotte Perkins Gilman independently reworked their inherited faith to create a new symbol that better met their religious needs based on ideal Victorian notions of motherhood and ‘Mother Nature’. Divine motherhood signified compassion universal salvation and a realised gospel of social reform led primarily by women to establish sympathetic community. Connected to Victorian feminism it gave authority to women’s voices and to ‘feminine’ cultural values in the public sphere. It represented divine immanence within the world often providing the grounds for an ecological ethic including human–animal fellowship. With reference also to writers including Charlotte Brontë Anna Jameson Charles Kingsley Elizabeth Charles Theodore Parker Harriet Beecher Stowe Mary Baker Eddy and authors of literary utopias this book shows the extent of maternal theology in Victorian thought and explores its cultural roots. The book reveals a new way in which Victorian writers creatively negotiated between religious tradition and modernity. | The Maternal Image of God in Victorian Literature

Evacuee Encounters on the Soviet Home Front During the Second World War

Evacuee Encounters on the Soviet Home Front During the Second World War

This study is the first to examine the experiences of the millions of Soviet civilians evacuated to the interior of the country during the Second World War in the context of their encounters and relations with local communities and populations across Soviet Central Asia Kazakhstan Siberia and the Urals. The book considers the impact of this episode of massive population displacement across Eurasia on individuals communities and society more broadly. It explores how the challenges associated with wartime displacement gave rise to tensions between evacuees and local residents. These frictions in turn forced individuals to interrogate the meaning terms and limitations of citizenship and belonging in the Soviet Union. Evacuation thus played a critical role in the changing relationship between citizens and the Soviet state in the war and postwar periods. Furthermore this study pays particular attention to the plight of Soviet Jewish evacuees who constitute the largest contingent of Holocaust survivors in Europe and the rise of anti-Semitism on the Soviet home front during the war. This volume will be of interest to students and scholars of the Second World War migration and displacement the Holocaust Soviet Jewish history and the Soviet experience more broadly. | Evacuee Encounters on the Soviet Home Front During the Second World War

From Victim to Offender How child sexual abuse victims become offenders

From Victim to Offender How child sexual abuse victims become offenders

Tom was the only adult who gave me the attention and affection that I so badly needed. I loved his caresses and the times he comforted me. I loved talking to him because he was the only adult who listened and understood. Neil's Story From Victim to Offender shows how victims of child sexual abuse become juvenile and adult offenders. The stories told by these offenders reveal the vulnerability of boys to paedophiles and pederasts who provide the male attention lacking in some children's home lives. They show how early sexualisation damages children's sexual development their relationships and their adult lives. The story of a female offender reveals that this problem is not confined to boys. These stories highlight the inadequacy of current child protection programs for the protection of boys. The editor's introduction and the chapter from a psychologist who specialises in the treatment of offenders emphasise the need to improve child protection and treatment programs for offenders. From Victim to Offender offers unique insights into the experiences of victims and offenders of sexual abuse and is essential reading for professionals who are concerned about child protection and those responsible for the rehabilitation of offenders. | From Victim to Offender How child sexual abuse victims become offenders

Remaking Indigeneity in the Amazon Christianity Colonization and the State

Remaking Indigeneity in the Amazon Christianity Colonization and the State

Drawing on archival and ethnographic work this book analyzes how indigeneity Christianity and state-making became intertwined in the Colombian Amazon throughout the 20th century. At the end of the 19th century the state gave Catholic missionaries tutelage over Indigenous groups and their territories but in the case of the Colombian Amazon this tutelage was challenged by evangelical missionaries that arrived in the region in the 1940s with different ideas of civilization and social change. Indigenous conversion to evangelical Christianity caused frictions with other actors while Indigenous groups perceived conversion as way of leverage with settlers. This book shows how evangelical Christianity shaped new forms of indigeneity that did not coincide entirely with the ideas of civilization or development that Catholic missionaries and the state promoted in the region. Since the 1960s the state adapted development policies and programs to Indigenous realities and practices while Indigenous societies appropriated evangelical Christianity in order to navigate the changes brought on by colonization modernity and state-formation. This study demonstrates that not all projects of civilization were the same in Amazonia nor was missionization of Indigenous groups always subordinate to the state or resource extraction. | Remaking Indigeneity in the Amazon Christianity Colonization and the State

Beyond Folklore? The Franco Regime and Ethnoterritorial Diversity in Spain 1930–1975

Beyond Folklore? The Franco Regime and Ethnoterritorial Diversity in Spain 1930–1975

This book analyzes the promotion of subnational identities undertaken by Spanish fascism and the Franco regime between 1930 and 1975 as well as their patterns of survival accommodation and adaptation. It examines the proactive attitudes of the various actors committed to the dictatorship – from Falangists to Francoist intellectuals to Catholic conservatives – alongside their repressive or annihilating approach to regional cultures and languages. As in most Fascist regimes between 1922 and 1945 a narrative of the ethnocultural ethnoterritorial and historic diversity of the nation persisted with differing degrees of intensity and different tendencies. These discourses and practices were not limited exclusively to the ideological and social sphere of anti-Francoism and the roots of the ‘State of the Autonomous Communities’ which gave rise to the extension of political autonomy to all Spanish regions from 1978 onwards date back to the deep structure of the dictatorship with foundations in demands put forward by the local provincial and regional elites within later Francoism. The volume is primarily written for scholars and students of Iberian Studies European Modern and Contemporary History Cultural Studies especially those with an interest in memory studies fascism nationalism and regionalism cultural resistance under dictatorship and transitions from dictatorship to democracy. | Beyond Folklore?

Indian Modernities Literary Cultures from the 18th to the 20th Century

This volume studies the ways in which modernity has been conceived practiced and performed in Indian literatures from the eighteenth to the twentieth century. It brings together essays on writings in Hindi Urdu Punjabi Bengali Odia Gujarati Marathi Tamil Telugu Kannada Malayalam and languages from Northeast India which form a dialogical relationship with each other in this volume.

Caribbean Literature in English

Caribbean Literature in English

Caribbean Literature in English places its subject in its precise regional context. The `Caribbean' generally considered as one area is highly discrete in its topography race and languages including mainland Guyana the Atlantic island of Barbados the Lesser Antilles Trinidad and Jamaica whose size and history gave it an early sense of separate nationhood. Beginning with Raleigh's Discoverie of. Guiana (1596) this innovative study traces the sometimes surprising evolution of cultures which shared a common experience of slavery but were intimately related to individual local areas. The approach is interdisciplinary examining the heritage of the plantation era and the issues of language and racial identity it created. From this base Louis James reassesses the phenomenal expansion of writing in the contemporary period. He traces the influence of pan-Caribbean movements and the creation of an expatriate Caribbean identity in Britain and America: `Brit'n' is considered as a West Indian island created by `colonization in reverse'. Further sections treat the development of a Caribbean aesthetic and the repossession of cultural roots from Africa and Asia. Balancing an awareness of the regional identity of Caribbean literature with an exploration of its place in world and postcolonial literatures this study offers a panoramic view that has become one of the most vital of the `new literatures in English'. This accessible overview of Caribbean writing will appeal to the general reader and student alike and particularly to all who are interested in or studying Caribbean literatures and culture postcolonial studies Commonwealth 'new literatures' and contemporary literature and drama.

Re-imagining Democracy Legacy Impact and Lessons of Spain's 15-M Movement

Re-imagining Democracy Legacy Impact and Lessons of Spain's 15-M Movement

This interdisciplinary book draws on leading scholarship on one of the most influential and consequential social movements of the past decades: Spain’s 15-M movement. The volume explores the legacy impact and outcomes of the movement and the lessons it offers for understanding mobilization in times of crisis. The book opens with a theoretical reconsideration of the positive ways social movements can impact democracy moving the field forward significantly. It also offers rich case studies to explore a range of areas of interest to social movement scholars. Chapters explore the biographical consequences of participation in social movements; how memories of the movement inspired new mobilizations; the reciprocal influence between the 15-M movement and feminist economics; how urban democracy was transformed by municipalism arising from the movement; how the movement generated a “Caring democracy” in the face of the Covid pandemic; and how it gave rise to a new radical democratic media ecosystem. The book explores the movement’s political economy as well as reflects on one of its unintended consequences: the rise of the penalization of counter-hegemonic protest in contemporary Spain. Although focused on a single emblematic movement it offers significant insights and lessons for scholarship on contemporary politics and movements. Re-imagining Democracy provides a valuable resource for scholars and students interested in the challenges faced by contemporary democracies the dynamics of social movements in times of crisis and the profound impact of social movements on contemporary democracy. The chapters in this book were originally published as a peer-reviewed special issue of Social Movement Studies. | Re-imagining Democracy Legacy Impact and Lessons of Spain's 15-M Movement

Selected Satires of Lucian

Selected Satires of Lucian

The unsurpassed satirist of the ancient era was a young Syrian named Lucian who writing in Greek in the second century a. d. combined wit irony fearless candor and exuberant comic fantasy to create the triumphantly irreverent dialogues and stories contained in this book. His genial mockery aimed at man's omnipresent feelings has never gone out of date. The jabs he gave the hypocrites; grandstanders fakers and boobs of the ancient world can just as appropriately be administered to their counterparts in the modern world. Lucian's most typical genre is a parody of a Platonic dialogue in which Zeus Hermes Eros and other Olympians jabber in undivine harassment as some clever mortal (who very much resembles Lucian) is about to make scandalous fools of them. He also excelled at straight narrative his two most famous tales being the elaborate science fiction spoof; A True Story and an old folk tale retold outrageously Lucius the Ass. His works were the product of an unrelentingly rational and skeptical mind and have had an incalculable effect on writers and painters through the ages. Until this volume the English language reader of today to appreciate the importance and intelligence of Lucian. No volume of representative selections in translation is in print. There are satisfactory versions of the complete works but the reader who takes this long will most likely lose a good deal of the sting of Lucian's needle. Lionel Cassen also illustrates the full range of Lucian's subject matter and various literary forms and when translating tried to focus on the Greek spirit as opposed to the literal meaning. | Selected Satires of Lucian
