    "The Relocation of Culture is about accents and borders-about people and cultures that have accents and that cross borders. It is a book that deals with translation and nomadic identities, and with the many ways in which the increasing relevance of forced migrations has affected the practice of languages and the understanding of cultures in our times. Simona Bertacco and Nicoletta Vallorani examine the theoretical and practical nexus of translation and migration, two of the most visible and anxiety-producing keywords of our age, and use translation as the method for a global cultural theory firmly based in the humanities, both as creative output and interdisciplinary scholarship. Positioning their work within the field of translation studies with important borrowings from literary and cultural studies, visual and migration studies, the authors suggest a theory of translation that makes space for complexity, considers different "languages" (words, images, sounds, bodies), and takes into account both our emotional, pre-linguistic and instinctual reaction to the other as an invader and an enemy and the responsibility for the other that lies at the heart of translation. This process necessarily involves a reflection on the location and relocation of cultures in contemporary times"--

    "This bestselling coursebook introduces current understanding about culture and provides a model for teaching culture to translators, interpreters and other mediators. The approach is interdisciplinary, with theory from translation studies and beyond, while authentic texts and translations illustrate intercultural issues and strategies adopted to overcome them. This new edition has been thoroughly revised to update scholarship and examples and now includes new languages such as Arabic, Chinese, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish, and examples from interpreting settings. The third edition revisits the chapters based on recent developments in scholarship in intercultural communication, cultural mediation, translation and interpreting. It aims to achieve a more balanced representation of written and spoken communication by giving more attention to interpreting than the previous editions, especially in interactional settings. Enriched with discussion of key recent scholarly contributions, each practical example has been revisited and/or updated. Complemented with online resources, which may be used by both teachers and students, this is the ideal resource for all students of translation and interpreting, as well as for any reader interested in communication across cultural divides. Additional resources are available on the Routledge Translation Studies Portal: routledgetranslationstudiesportal.com"--

    "Advocates of multilingualism are always seeking new ways to articulate the advantages inherent in living out life in more than one language. This volume brings together researchers from across Europe to explore sociolinguistic perspectives on multilingualism, with specific emphasis on identity, diversity, and social cohesion, as they focus explicitly on the potential of this phenomenon to empower individuals, groups, and communities. Positioned around the idea of empowerment, this book explores the potential of multilingualism to overcome divisions and build social cohesion. In particular, chapters discuss how multilingualism can help the individual to become critically conscious and to develop an in-depth understanding of the world, while also benefiting society as whole. Understanding 'public space' in broad terms, including domains such as education, online, and the linguistic landscape, this volume explores how multilingualism can empower people from a range of perspectives, including memorialisation, onomastics, direct action, linguistic rights, migration, and educational play."--

What constitutes a border situation? How translatable and “portable” is the border? What are the borders of words surrounding the border? In its five sections, Border Transits: Literature and Culture across the Line intends to address these issues as it brings together visions of border dynamics from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The volume opens with “Part I: (B)orders and lines: A Theoretical Intervention,” which explores the circle and the cross as spatial configurations of two contradictory urges, to separate and divide on the one hand, and to welcome and allow passage on the other. “Part II: Visions of the Mexican-US Border” zooms in onto the Mexican-United States border as it delves into the border transits between the two neighboring countries. But what happens when we situate the border on the cultural terrain? How well does the border travel? “Part III: Cultural Intersections” expands the border encounter as it deals with the different ways in which texts are encoded, registered, appropriated, mimicked and transformed in other cultural texts. “Part IV: Trans-Nations,” addresses instances of trans-American relations stemming from experiences of up-rooting and intercultural contacts in the context of mass-migration and migratory flows. Finally, “Part V: Trans-Lations,” deals with the ways in which the cultural borderlands suffuse other discourses and cultural practices. The volume is of interest for scholars and researchers in the field of Border studies, Chicano studies, “Ethnic Studies,” as well as American Literature and Culture

    Preliminary Material -- Acknowledgements -- Introduction -- Female travelling in the West/Indies: trauma and bound motion in Jamaica Kincaid’s At the Bottom of the River and Lucy -- “The mestiza way”: a Bildung of the borderlands in Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street -- “It translated well”: the promise and the perils of translation in Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior -- “In the name of grand asymmetries”: body Bildung in Audre Lorde’s work -- Postscript: temporary stopovers and new departures -- Notes -- Bibliography -- Index. What kinds of uncertainties and desires do generic issues evoke? How can we account for the continuing hold of the Bildungsroman as a model of analysis? Unsettling the Bildungsroman: Reading Contemporary Ethnic American Women’s Fiction combines genre and cultural theory and offers a cross-ethnic comparative approach to the tradition of the female novel of development and the American coming-of-age narrative. Examining closely the work of Jamaica Kincaid, Sandra Cisneros, Maxine Hong Kingston, and Audre Lorde, the chapters foreground processes of constructing an alternative “art of living” which challenges the Bildungsroman ’s drive for either assimilation or ethnic homogeneity and pushes for new configurations of ethnic and American female identity. Drawing on feminist/gender studies, psychoanalytic theory, translation theory, queer theory, and disability studies, the book provides a theoretically engaged rethinking of the Bildungsroman ’s form and function. Addressing questions of aesthetics and politics, freedom and belonging, betrayal and responsibility, and tracing the Bildungsroman ’s links with life-writing forms such as immigrant narrative, mother-daughter story, biomythography, and illness narrative, the study outlines the various ways in which the novel of individual development becomes an appropriate site for the negotiation of several enduring and contentious tensions in ethnic American writing. Of potential interest to scholars of American literature, but also ethnic, feminist and postcolonial literatures, and to students of American literature and culture, the book demonstrates the Bildungsroman ’s ongoing relevance and expanded capacity of representation in an ethnic American and postcolonial context

Anne Mackay -- Bibliography /E. Anne Mackay -- Index Locorum /E. Anne Mackay -- General Index /E. Anne Mackay -- Supplements to Mnemosyne. The essays in this volume present new insights into the far-reaching influence of an early oral culture on subsequent development after the spread of literacy. At the outset, revisionist essays on the Homeric epics examine such questions as historical memory, Homer's audience(s), descriptive strategies, ring-composition, and the status of orality as a constitutive feature of the epics. These are followed by virtually unprecedented studies of the orality of later (written) literature, including Greek oratory, Virgilian epic, Pliny's Panegyricus and story-telling in late Greek writers. Included as well are two discussions of Athenian vase-painting: annular scene-composition in the black-figure tradition, and the implications of kalos -inscriptions. An introduction by leading oral theorist John Miles Foley situates all the essays at the leading edge of oral theoretical development

Pleket , C.J. Ruijgh , D.M. Schenkeveld and P.H. Schrijvers. This volume examines orality and literacy in the ancient Greek and Roman world through a range of perspectives and in various genres. Four essays on the Homeric epics present recent research into performative aspects of language, cognitive theory and oral composition, a re-evaluation of Parry's oral-formulaic theory, and a new perspective on the poem's transmission. These are complemented by studies of the oral nature of Greek proverbial expressions, and of poetic authority within a fluid oral tradition. Two essays consider the significance of the written word in a predominantly oral culture, in relation to star calendars and to Panathenaic inscriptions. Finally, two chapters consider the ongoing influence of oral tradition in the ancient novel and in Roman declamation. These essays illustrate the importance of considering ancient texts in the context of fluctuating oral and literate influences Similes, augment, and the language of immediacy /Similes in Homer : image, mind's eye, and memory /Oral-formulaic theory today /Variations : on the text of Homer /Wisdom and wit of many : the orality of Greek proverbial expressions /Poetic authority and oral tradition in Hesiod and Pindar /From orality to literacyThe case of the parapegma /TON AΘENEΘEN AΘΛON : a case study in the history of a label /Cycles and sequence in Longus' Daphnis and Chloe /Practised speech : oral and written conventions in Roman declamation /Egbert J.

Schrijvers. Looking at its subject from the standpoint of modern discourse analysis, this study deals with problems of style and grammar in Greek and Latin texts. Its aim is to shed light on the interaction between the mechanism of the Greek and Latin languages as interactive tools and the structure of the texts that have come down to us. The interpretive orientation offered differs from most literary studies in its taking linguistic observations as point of departure, and its considering grammar as a positive factor in the interpretive process. It differs from most linguistic studies in the field in demonstrating the importance of linguistic methodology for classical philology in general. The book contains studies of various authors, genres, and text types, preceded by an introductory essay on the role of grammar in philology

Bremer , L. F. Janssen , H. Pinkster , H. W. Pleket , C.J. Ruijgh and P.H. Schrijvers. This volume deals with orality and literacy in ancient Greece and what consideration of these areas yields for that society, its literature, traditions and practices. Individual chapters focus on art, comedy, historiography, oratory, religion, rhetoric, philosophy, poetry, tragedy, and on orality in contemporary cultures (Greek and South African), which have a bearing on the ancient world. By considering such factors as oral elements in various genres and practices and how these have shaped the texts we have today, as well as the extent of literacy and the impact of literacy on oral traditions and on singers/writers, the book presents another insight into ancient Greek society and its people

    There is pressure on world language educators to prepare learners with 21st century skills to meet the challenges of an increasingly interconnected globalized world. The need for change was summarized in the 2007 report of the MLA Ad Hoc Committee on Foreign Languages that suggested the implementation of curricular reform by developing students’ “translingual and transcultural competence” (p. 3) which allows someone “to operate between languages” (p.237). However, the integration of such a meaningful cultural component in instructed language learning is a complex topic. This book recognizes the difficulty world language educators face to achieve the goals of the MLA report, particularly at beginning levels of instruction in target language use classrooms. Accordingly, this book informs instructed language learning and teaching by bridging developmental theories from the fields of intercultural competence with second language pedagogies—particularly communicative language teaching (CLT) and literacy-based approaches—providing examples of practical applications inside the classroom and beyond. It is intended to support the many FL educators who have consistently reported that they are struggling to incorporate meaningful cultural instruction into their practice (Fox & Diaz-Greenberg 2006; Phillips & Abbott, 2011; Sercu, 2005).This book provides a framework to foster learners’ deep cultural reflection at beginning levels of instruction while preserving target language use policies, bridging CLT pedagogies to intercultural communicative competence (ICC) literacy-based approaches. It starts by synthesizing prominent definitions of culture and culture learning models and then summarizes disparate sources of research findings on culture learning projects (which primarily take place at advanced levels of language learning) to the Standards-based classroom at all levels of instruction, K-16. Although research on fostering learners’ intercultural competence at beginning levels of language instruction is in its infancy, it is of utmost concern given that the vast majority of U.S. language learners rarely continue to advanced levels of instruction (Zimmer-Lowe, 2008). In addition, this book challenges FL educators to advocate for their FL programs and to give greater visibility and credibility to the profession in institutional internationalization efforts.The theoretical components of this book deconstruct the connections between language, thought and culture and problematize developmental models in the IC field that neglect to consider the important role of language. This book provides K-16 FL educators with the discourse needed to 1) explain to administrators, parents and students how world language study prepares learners to compete in an increasingly global market beyond the learner’s development of linguistic proficiency and 2) convince administrators of the value in and the need for world language study in order to support institutional internationalization efforts. The last chapter of this book provides guidance and suggestions on ways to expand K-12 teacher preparation programs and continuing education training to foster learners’ intercultural communicative competence while preserv-ing a Standards-based curriculum. In sum, this book is intended to 1) support all K-16 world language educa-tors with their program advocacy and instruction; 2) serve as a reference manual or course book in teacher preparation programs; 3) serve as a reference manual or course book for research and graduate courses on the teaching and learning of languages.

    Das elektronische Zeitalter hat mehr oder weniger alle Bereiche der Wissenschaft revolutioniert und vor neue Aufgaben gestellt. Erfolgreich hat auch die kulturwissenschaftliche Erzählforschung den Übergang vom traditionellen Studium handschriftlicher oder gedruckter Texte hin zu einer Forschung vollzogen, die den Kontext der Erzählung genauso einbezieht wie weitere Medien, etwa das Internet. Als das Aushängeschild solcher moderner Erzählforschung gilt seit vielen Jahrzehnten die „Enzyklopädie des Märchens?", deren umsichtig konzipierte Artikel Internationalität und Interdisziplinarität garantieren.Eine namhafte Gruppe von Autorinnen und Autoren dieser Enzyklopädie präsentiert nun in deutsch- und englischsprachigen Aufsätzen einen Querschnitt aktueller Theorien, Methoden und Forschungsfelder der kulturwissenschaftlichen Narratologie. Da sich die moderne Erzählforschung auch mehr und mehr soziokulturellen Fragestellungen der Gegenwart zuwendet, kommen neben traditionellen Erzählgenres wie Märchen und Sagen auch neue Inhalte und Formen des alltäglichen Erzählens wie Lebensgeschichten, Rechtfertigungserzählungen und das Erzählen im Internet in den Blick

    Notes:

    Repeatedly, scholars have demanded that language, due to its materiality and performativity,be understood as a medium. Along these lines, this book provides a systematic foundationof a media theory of communication, whichenvisions language as cultural practice of understanding. From this, a new, linguistically oriented way of culturalstudies originates,whichrevolves aroundquestions of aesthetics, diversity and cultural memory

    Main description: Mit theodisca lingua (zu althochdeutsch theoda 'Volk') bezeichnete das frühe Mittelalter jede germanische Volkssprache im Gegensatz zu Latein und seinen Nachfolgesprachen, den romanischen Nationalsprachen Europas. Auch Deutsch, das noch nicht existierte, wuchs aus solchen 'theodisken' Volkssprachen heraus. Dieser Band ist der Vielfalt jener vordeutschen Sprachen und Literaturen des frühen Mittelalters im Rahmen des fränkischen Reiches gewidmet. Seine Beiträge gehen den Wegen der neueren Forschung im Spannungsverhältnis von Latein und Volkssprache, Mündlichkeit und Schriftlichkeit nach, suchen die pragmatische Interdependenz von Völkern, 'Stämmen' und Sprachen zu bestimmen. Sie messen Strukturen der Sprache, des Wortschatzes und der Bedeutungen aus, graben nach verschütteten Gattungen frühester Dichtung (Heldensage, Lyrik), rekonstruieren schließlich den 'Sitz im Leben' der Literatur zwischen geistlicher und öffentlicher Funktion, zwischen der Welt der Klöster und der Könige
