Was mit uns sein wird, wissen wir nicht
Sie werden aus ihrer Heimatstadt verjagt und wie Vieh abtransportiert: Im Februar 1941 muss das jüdische Ehepaar Wilhelm und Johanna Schischa gemeinsam mit zahlreichen Leidensgenossen den Zug nach Polen besteigen. Beraubt, bestohlen und erniedrigt finden sich die Schischas im Städtchen Opole Lubelskie wieder, in einem fremden Land und in vollkommener Ungewissheit über die Zukunft. Es gibt in diesem "Durchgangslager" weder Arbeit noch Brot, sie werden in hoffungslos überfüllte Massen quartiere gepfercht, wo unter katastrophalen hygienischen Verhältnissen Seuchen wüten, die täglich neue Opfer fordern. Von Anfang März 1941 bis Ende Januar 1942 schreiben sie Briefe an ihre Verwandten in Wien: hin- und hergerissen zwischen trivialen Dingen wie der nächsten Mahlzeit oder festem Schuhwerk und der existenziellen Frage nach dem Los, das sie erwartet. Der Sehnsucht, die Lieben eines Tages wiederzusehen, steht die nagende Sorge um das Wohl der fernen Kinder gegenüber, die Wehmut, mit der sie ihrer für immer verlorenen Heimat gedenken. Das letzte gemeinsame Lebenszeichen endet mit den Worten: "Der l. Gott soll uns erlösen" .
Untranslatability
This volume is the first of its kind to explore the notion of untranslatability from a wide variety of interdisciplinary perspectives and its implications within the broader context of translation studies. Featuring contributions from both leading authorities and emerging scholars in the field, the book looks to go beyond traditional comparisons of target texts and their sources to more rigorously investigate the myriad ways in which the term untranslatability is both conceptualized and applied. The first half of the volume focuses on untranslatability as a theoretical or philosophical construct, both to ground and extend the term’s conceptual remit, while the second half is composed of ca...
Machine Translation and Global Research
Lynne Bowker and Jairo Buitrago Ciro introduce the concept of machine translation literacy, a new kind of literacy for scholars and librarians in the digital age. This book is a must-read for researchers and information professionals eager to maximize the global reach and impact of any form of scholarly work.
Nietzsche’s “Ecce Homo”
Friedrich Nietzsche’s intellectual autobiography Ecce Homo has always been a controversial book. Nietzsche prepared it for publication just before he became incurably insane in early 1889, but it was held back until after his death, and finally appeared only in 1908. For much of the first century of its reception, Ecce Homo met with a sceptical response and was viewed as merely a testament to its author’s incipient madness. This was hardly surprising, since he is deliberately outrageous with the ‘megalomaniacal’ self-advertisement of his chapter titles, and brazenly claims ‘I am not a man, I am dynamite’ as he attempts to explode one preconception after another in the Western phi...
Less Translated Languages
This is the first collection of articles devoted entirely to less translated languages, a term that brings together well-known, widely used languages such as Arabic or Chinese, and long-neglected minority languages — with power as the key word at play. It starts with some views on English, the dominant language in Translation as elsewhere, considers the role of translation for minority languages — both a source of inequality and a means to overcome it —, takes a look at translation from less translated major languages and cultures, and ends up with a closer look at translation into Catalan, a paradigmatic case of less translated language, in a final section that includes a vindication of six prominent Catalan translators. Combining sound theoretical insight and accurate analysis of relevant case studies, the contributors to this collection make a convincing case for a more thorough examination of less translated languages within the field of Translation Studies.

Translation Today
This text provides a snapshot of issues reflecting the changing nature of translation studies at the beginning of a new millennium. Resulting from discussions between translation theorists from all over the world, topics covered include: the nature of translation; English as a "lingua franca"; public service translation and interpreting; assessment; and audio-visual translation. The first part of the work covers a discussion stimulated by Peter Newmark's paper, and the second part allows invited colleagues to develop his topics.
Quality Assurance and Assessment Practices in Translation and Interpreting
The development of translation memories and machine translation have led to new quality assurance practices where translators have found themselves checking not only human translation but also machine translation outputs. As a result, the notions of revision and interpersonal competences have gained great importance with international projects recognizing them as high priorities. Quality Assurance and Assessment Practices in Translation and Interpreting is a critical scholarly resource that serves as a guide to overcoming the challenge of how translation and interpreting results should be observed, given feedback, and assessed. It also informs the design of new ways of evaluating students as well as suggesting criteria for professional quality control. Featuring coverage on a broad range of topics such as quality management, translation tests, and competency-based assessments, this book is geared towards translators, interpreters, linguists, academicians, translation and interpreting researchers, and students seeking current research on the new ways of evaluating students as well as suggesting criteria for professional quality control in translation.
