Book Description
This book offers an in-depth, cross-cultural and transdisciplinary discussion of the translatability of social emotions. The contributors are leading philosophers, semioticians, anthropologists, communication and translation theorists from Europe, America and Australia. Part I explores the translatability of emotions as a culturally embedded social behaviour that requires a contextualized interpretation of their origins and development in different social and cultural settings. These studies make useful preparations for the studies introduced in Part II that continue investigating the cultural and sociological influence of the development of social emotions with a special focus on the dialogical relation to the body and to others. Part III presses on delving into specific types of emotions which underscore social interactions at both the community and individual levels, such as dignity, (im-)politeness, self-regard and self-esteem. Finally, Part IV offers a further development on the preceding parts as it discusses problems of translation, expressibility and mass-medial communication of emotions. This book will engage translation scholars as well as those with a broader interest in the study and interpretation of emotions from different fields, perspectives and disciplines.

Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
This book offers an in-depth, cross-disciplinary discussion of the translatability of social emotions. Part I is a collection of essays by leading philosophers of semiotics in Europe and Latin America, exploring the translatability of social emotions as a culturally embedded social behavior that requires a fully contextualized historical interpretation of their origins in different social and cultural settings. These essays make useful preparations for the case studies introduced in Part II, authored by leading sociological and literary scholars, who explore the cultural influence of the development of social emotions. Finally, Part III delves into specific types of emotions which underscore social interactions at individual and personal levels, such as dignity, (im-)politeness, self-regard and self-esteem. The book will be of interest to scholars of translation studies and semiotics, as well as those interested in the study of emotions more broadly. Susan Petrilli is Professor of Semiotics at the University of Bari, Italy. Meng Ji is Associate Professor of Translation Studies at the University of Sydney, Australia.

Recent Trends in Translation Studies
Author: Sara Laviosa
Publisher: Cambridge Scholars Publishing
ISBN: 1527574571
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 390
Book Description
This volume offers a snapshot of current perspectives on translation studies within the specific historical and socio-cultural framework of Anglo-Italian relations. It addresses research questions relevant to English historical, literary, cultural and language studies, as well as empirical translation studies. The book is divided into four chapters, each covering a specific research area in the scholarly field of translation studies: namely, historiography, literary translation, specialized translation and multimodality. Each case study selected for this volume has been conducted with critical insight and methodological rigour, and makes a valuable contribution to scientific knowledge in the descriptive and applied branches of a discipline that, since its foundation nearly 50 years ago, has concerned itself with the description, theory and practice of translating and interpreting.

The Behavioral Economics of Translation
Author: Douglas Robinson
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000785351
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 253
Book Description
This book applies frameworks from behavioral economics to Western thinking about translation, mapping four approaches to eight keywords in translation studies to bring together divergent perspectives on the study of translation and interpreting. The volume takes its points of departure from the tensions between the concerns of behavioral and neoclassical economists. The book considers on one side behavioral economists’ interest in the predictable irrationality of “Humans” and its nuances as they unfold in terms of gender, here organized around Masculine Human, Feminine Human, and Queer perspectives, and on the other side neoclassical economists’ chief concerns with the unfailing rationality of the “Econs.” Robinson applies these four approaches across eight chapters, each representing a keyword in the study of translation—agency; difference; Eurocentrism; hermeneutics; language; norms; rhetoric; and world literature—with case studies that problematize the different categories. Taken together, the book offers a comprehensive treatment of the behavioral economics of translation and promotes new ways of thinking in the study of translation and interpreting, making it of interest to scholars in the discipline as well as those working along interdisciplinary lines in related fields such as philosophy, literature, and political science.

Semioethics as Existential Dialogue
Author: Susan Petrilli
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040132987
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 274
Book Description
This collection brings together perspectives on the interplay of communication, dialogue, and responsibility, exploring communicative acts of disruption toward a social environment attuned to short-sighted individualism. Semioethics highlights the condition of inevitable entanglement with the other at the origin of sociality, which demands a response to the other based on listening and accountability. The volume introduces readers to the theoretical foundations of semioethics, an emergent direction within sign and language studies which relies upon a commitment to otherness, unindifference, and dialogue. Building on the dialogic approaches of Mikhail Bakhtin and Emmanuel Levinas, chapters, grouped into five sections, are all guided by the notion of responsibility toward the other outside do ut des logic and greedy exchange. This collection highlights the ways in which semioethics considers the ethical implications of the signs that mediate dialogue among persons in the social sphere, public and private, sacred and profane. It presupposes the notion that signs are only meaningful in their relation to other signs and the intersubjectivity among persons in dialogue. Chapters also variously examine how the interplay of semioethics and dialogue underpins public life and the existential gifts that sustain a healthy polis. This book will be of interest to scholars in semiotics, dialogue research, communication ethics, and philosophy of communication.

Preparing Faculty for Technology Dependency in the Post-COVID-19 Era
Author: Bawa, Papia
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN: 1799892379
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
To cope with the pandemic, many educational institutions in the United States have resorted to emergency remote teaching (ERT). Distance/online learning is a complex process in terms of the design, analysis, and time taken to develop and implement courses and programs. Having been around for decades, it has evolved and morphed into a multidimensional procedure that needs meticulous planning, evolution, and evaluation. It provides meaningful learning experiences to students who may not otherwise have the option to attend college. Students of distance/online courses and programs usually choose to join voluntarily, and designers of such programs purposefully plan for them to be online from the start. In contrast, ERT is an emergency/crisis-based need to move teaching and learning to alternative environments until the crisis is averted or ended. Preparing Faculty for Technology Dependency in the Post-COVID-19 Era is a comprehensive guide that focuses on preparing pre-service teachers, in-service teachers, and higher education faculty to harness technology dependence in an emergency remote teaching era by discussing current and post-pandemic preparedness. Covering a wide range of topics such as digital reality, teacher preparedness, and technology dependency, this book is crucial for educators, administrators, pre-service teachers, researchers, academicians, and students.

Semiotics of Friendship
Author: Claus Emmeche
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3111423786
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 607
Book Description
A friend should be able to be an attentive listener, which made semiotician Roland Barthes wonder in his intriguing dictionary of love, "cannot friendship be defined as a space with total sonority?". This volume takes on the encyclopedic task - in the sense of Umberto Eco, where an encyclopedia is a very complex sign - to explore friendship in detail, not only as a form of love but in all its complexity as a bond that connects people and forms communities. Semiotics, the study of signs and meaning-making, is used alongside insights from a wide range of friendship studies to create a far-reaching intellectual resonance, or sonority, around friendship as a central human experience. As a study of the significance of friendship, it presents findings from friendship research across the globe, enabling new ways of thinking about friends. It includes: key concepts from semiotics, sociology, anthropology, and other fields, briefly explained major models of friendship from antiquity to contemporary societies proverbs and sayings about friendship from Africa, America, Asia, and Europe stories about famous or forgotten friends from mythology, fiction, and real history summaries of research on friendship from selected academic disciplines bibliographical references for further studies
