Описание:
What Is Cultural Translation? In this book, Sarah Maitland uncovers processes of negotiation and adaptation closely associated with the translation of languages behind the cultural phenomena of everyday life. For globalized societies confronted increasingly with the presence of difference in all its forms, translation has become both a metaphor for thoughtful encounter and a touchstone act for what we see, do and say, and who we are.
Drawing on examples from across cultural domains (theatre, film, TV and literature) this work illuminates the elusive concept of 'cultural translation'. Focusing on the built environment, current affairs, international relations and online media, this book arrives at a view of translation in its broadest sense. It is a means for decoding how we shape the cultural realm and serves as a vehicle for new ways of seeing and being that question the received ideas that structure the communities in which we live. Written in a clear and engaging style, this is the first book-length study of cultural translation. It builds a powerful case for expanding the remit of translation to cover the experience of living and working in a globalized, multicultural world, and is of interest to all involved in the academic study of representation and contestation in contemporary cultural practice.

Описание: By day, Dexter is just a twelve-year-old kid who wears glasses, has messy hair, likes only soft clothes that don't make his skin itch, and loves to play with his dragon toys. He doesn't fit in because he doesn't always use the right words to talk to people, or he gets upset about something others don't think is a big deal. Dexter is just different. But he's OK with that. He understands that all the things that make him odd are because he's meant to be different. He's meant to be a superhero with a cape and superpowers. When the world is in trouble, Dexter puts on his cape (which makes him look cooler and feel stronger and wiser and protects him). He becomes Super Drat, a superhero with a mission to change the world. A book for young readers, The Superhero Within tells a story to help children understand that everyone is different and that's what makes the world special.

Описание:
RAMBLES WITH MY FAMILY is a personal memoir that begins in China and Burma with the experiences of a small child growing up among English missionaries during the Japanese invasion. The story continues as war grips both countries and the family flees for their lives, stumbling from one calamity to the next, before escaping to India where they take refuge until the second world war ends and they can return to England. They arrive in post-war Britain on a wave of optimism for new prospects in a world restored to peacetime, but their hopes are shattered in various ways as plans unravel and the anchorage 'back home' that had been relied on as a guarantee of stability, comes adrift. Led by their headstrong father, they embark on a restless, adventurous life that races along in these pages, going from country to country, with more prosperous times spent in Malta and Kenya. In each new place, their resourceful mother tries to establish, once again, the settled home she longs for. Despite often lacking basic essentials, wherever they go she takes her piano with her (even to China), and later, whenever it gets left behind, she finds another one. Her four children are born along the way in different countries, and with their very different personalities they adapt in different ways to being transplanted at every turn. The events and diversions that accompany each uprooting are described in vivid detail by the eldest daughter, who steered a course through the family's vicissitudes by adopting an observer's view, storing memories and images to illustrate the telling of this story with wry humour in later years, as historical context becomes a theme.

Описание:
DCI David Brock and DI Kathy Kolla, of Scotland Yard, find themselves pulled into a case of murder, a mysterious death among the houseboats that line the canals around greater London, in Barry Maitland's The Raven's Eye.
DI Kathy Kolla of Scotland Yard is called in as a matter of course by the local Paddington police when a woman turns up dead in what appears to be an accident. On her houseboat, Vicky Hawks is found by one of her neighbors having apparently succumbed to carbon monoxide poisoning due to improper ventilation of the narrowboat's heating system. But while the cause of death seems apparent and there's no reason for Kolla to think otherwise, something about this death still bothers her. Meanwhile, her boss, DCI Brock, is wrestling with harsh budget cuts and a new Commander who is determined to make fundamental changes to the system--including limiting resources devoted to investigations. Struggling against the limitations imposed by the new order at Scotland Yard, Brock and Kolla find themselves pulling at the loose strings in the death of Vicky Hawks, trying to find out who she really was, what she was up to, and how her death might be related to another earlier tragic accidental death.
