ASIN: 0415270650 |
Book Description
i Translation and Globalization /i is a critical exploration of the ways in which radical changes to the world economy have affected contemporary translation. br The Internet, new technology, machine translation and the emergence of a worldwide, multi-million dollar translation industry have dramatically altered the complex relationship between translators, language and power. In this book, Michael Cronin looks at the changing geography of translation practice and offers new ways of understanding the role of the translator in globalized societies and economies. Drawing on examples and case studies from Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas, the author argues that translation is central to debates about language and cultural identity, and shows why consideration of the role of translation and translators is a necessary part of safeguarding and promoting linguistic and cultural diversity. br i Translation and Globalization /i is essential reading for anyone with an interest in translation, or a concern for the future of our world's languages and cultures.

Critical Zone 2: A Forum of Chinese and Western Knowledge
Manufacturer: Hong Kong University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 9622097995 |
Book Description
'Critical Zone 2 confirms the success of the inaugural volume. Focusing on a twenty-first century paradigm of comparative AND globalized cultural studies, Critical Zone takes direction from a distinctly Sinicized historical tradition. Testifying to an ascendant China, this Forum of Chinese and Western Knowledge also expropriates, re-orients, and indigenizes comparative cultural studies with new, sharp edges, engaging and challenging critical workers from the West. Local particularities are understood rightly through a global vocabulary. Critical Zone is an ambitious contemporary intertext, a forum for dialogue in which Chinese and Western scholars and theorists can learn from and about each other. ' - Shirley Geok-lin Lim, Professor of English, University of California, Santa Barbara The first part of Critical Zone 2 includes original essays that deal with the concept and practice of empire, as a collective response to the question of how imperial formations and operations, in the past and at present, should be examined in a larger context of international politics. The second part translates from the Chinese essays that bear on two contemporary debates in China: one on the canonicity of Lu Xun and the other on the problem of how to reform Peking University in the context of globalization. A contextualizing introduction is provided for each debate.

Salman Rushdie's Postcolonial Metaphors: Migration, Translation, Hybridity, Blasphemy, and Globalization (Contributions to the Study of World Literature)
Jaina C. Sanga Manufacturer: Greenwood Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0313313105 |
Book Description
Metaphors allow us to describe something new in terms of the familiar. They are culturally and ideologically grounded and help structure language, thoughts, and attitudes. The network of empire building was sustained through a system of metaphors that saw and depicted the colonizer as superior, powerful, and beneficial, and the indigenous population as deviant and primitive. Colonial metaphors included such images as bringing "light" to dark, barbaric places; "journeying" to uncharted lands; and "educating" ignorant natives. This volume studies how Salman Rushdie reworks and reimagines colonial metaphors in his postcolonial novels. The book looks at five overarching metaphors in Rushdie's writings: "migration," or the transfer of people and their ideologies; "translation," the process of representing something from one language into another; "hybridity," the fusing together of disparate cultural elements; "blasphemy," the desecration of sacred beliefs by altering their representation; and "globalization," the homogenization of cultures. By reconstructing these metaphors in his novels, Rushdie challenges established colonial ways of understanding the world, undermines imperialist power structures, and introduces alternative visions of reality.

2. Managing Relationship Life in the Workplace [eg "The Art of Listening"]

4. Managing Public Life in the Workplace [eg "Establishing Your Presentation Goals"]

As these "Unit" titles correctly suggest, the authors provide both a system and a process to increase business and professional communication skills. They include a wealth of specific suggestions as well as real-world examples which suggest HOW to derive the greatest benefit, both from the system and the process. For whom will this book be most valuable? For experienced executives, it offers basic but useful reminders of what they probably know already (at least untuitively) or what they have learned empirically; for less-experienced executives, it offers what may well be new ideas, strategies, and tactics which can help to accelerate their career development.
