Inside Corporate U
Author: Marilee Reimer
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 320
Book Description
The effects of corporatization on higher education have been well documented, yet there is little analysis of how the ongoing commercialization is affecting women faculty and shaping gender relations within the academic community. Inside Corporate U is a timely and original collection that speaks to the gender-related shifts and changes resulting from this "business as usual" approach. Critical and eye-opening, fourteen essays examine how corporate ideology is influencing academic freedom, intellectual property rights and independent research, employment equity, workloads and teaching conditions, professional growth and development - and how it is challenging the future of feminist pedagogy and Women's Studies. The bottom line for these contributors is developing a strategy that preserves and protects the rights that women in the academy have struggled to achieve and that ensures equal access to higher education for all students.

Literary Translation, Reception, and Transfer
Author: Norbert Bachleitner
Publisher: Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG
ISBN: 3110641976
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 499
Book Description
The three concepts mentioned in the title of this volume imply the contact between two or more literary phenomena; they are based on similarities that are related to a form of ‘travelling’ and imitation or adaptation of entire texts, genres, forms or contents. Transfer comprises all sorts of ‘travelling’, with translation as a major instrument of transferring literature across linguistic and cultural barriers. Transfer aims at the process of communication, starting with the source product and its cultural context and then highlighting the mediation by certain agents and institutions to end up with inclusion in the target culture. Reception lays its focus on the receiving culture, especially on critcism, reading, and interpretation. Translation, therefore, forms a major factor in reception with the general aim of reception studies being to reveal the wide spectrum of interpretations each text offers. Moreover, translations are the prime instrument in the distribution of literature across linguistic and cultural borders; thus, they pave the way for gaining prestige in the world of literature. The thirty-eight papers included in this volume and dedicated to research in this area were previously read at the ICLA conference 2016 in Vienna. They are ample proof that the field remains at the center of interest in Comparative Literature.
