The Dark Side of Translation

The Dark Side of Translation

We tend to consider translation as something good virtuous and bright but it can also function as an instrument of concealment silencing and misdirection—as something that darkens and obscures. Propaganda misinformation narratives of trauma and imagery of the enemy—to mention just a few of the negative phenomena that shape our lives—show patterns of communication in which translation either functions as a weapon or constitutes a space of conflict. But what does this dark side of translation look like? How does it work? Ground-breaking in its theoretical conception and pioneering in its thematic approach this book unites international scholars from a range of disciplines including philosophy translation studies literary theory ecocriticism game studies history and political science. With examples that illustrate complex theoretical and philosophical issues this book also has a major focus on the translational dimension of ecology and climate change. Transdisciplinary and topical this book is key reading for researchers scholars and advanced students of translation studies literature and related areas.

China’s New Normal Supply-side and Structural Reform

China’s New Normal Supply-side and Structural Reform

China’s continuous rapid economic growth since the Reform and Opening up of the country in the early 1980s has been praised as a miracle of the world economy. However since 2012 the rate of growth has slowed down rendering some people pessimistic about the country’s economic prospects. This title is a collection of a leading Chinese economists’ views on China’s economic growth and structural reform. The author argues that China’s economy has entered “the new normal” meaning that slowed growth rate is not a cyclical phenomenon but a change in the stage of economic development. Therefore there is a need to enact supply-side structural reforms such as improved efficiency of resource reallocation while shifting the mode of development from one of inputs to innovation. In addition the author discusses the five major concepts of development proposed for the “13th Five-Year Plan” as well as some critical topics related to supply-side structural reform such as agricultural development labor employment and product quality. Scholars and students of macroeconomics development economics and the Chinese economy will find this book to be essential reading. | China’s New Normal Supply-side and Structural Reform

The Dark Side of Marketing Communications Critical Marketing Perspectives

The Dark Side of Marketing Communications Critical Marketing Perspectives

What fuels capitalism and what stops it from collapsing? Does marketing communications support and sustain the economic and political status quo? This book is not about describing the ways in which businesses can optimize the messages they put across or about adding to the marketing communicator’s toolkit. This book argues that marketing communications plays an increasingly important role in bolstering contemporary capitalism. Drawing on conceptualizations of the ‘market’ from political economy and sociology it focusses on five logics that underpin and sustain the form of capitalism in which we live: the logic of competition the logic of sustainability the logic of individualism the logic of objectivity and the logic of distraction. It does this by exploring those arenas which are increasingly dominated by the communicative activities of business: sport CSR social media statistics and entertainment. Bringing theories from marketing and consumer research sociology cultural studies technology and media studies to bear on marketing communications this book is necessary reading for undergraduate and postgraduate students and academics who wish to understand the broader role of marketing communications in the reproduction of contemporary capitalism. | The Dark Side of Marketing Communications Critical Marketing Perspectives

The Bohemian Ethos Questioning Work and Making a Scene on the Lower East Side

The Bohemian Ethos Questioning Work and Making a Scene on the Lower East Side

The iconoclastic ingenuity of bohemians from Gerard de Nerval to Allen Ginsberg continually captivates the popular imagination; the worlds of fashion advertising and even real estate all capitalize on the alternative appeal of bohemian style. Persistently overlooked however is bohemians' distinctive relationship to work. In this book sociologist Judith R. Halasz examines the fascinating junctures between bohemian labor and life. Weaving together historiography ethnography and personal experiences of having been raised amidst downtown New York's bohemian communities Halasz deciphers bohemians' unconventional behaviors and attitudes towards employment and the broader work world. From the nineteenth-century harbingers on Paris' Left Bank to the Beats Underground and more recent bohemian outcroppings on New York's Lower East Side The Bohemian Ethos traces the embodiment of a politically charged yet increasingly precarious form of cultural resistance to hegemonic social and economic imperatives. | The Bohemian Ethos Questioning Work and Making a Scene on the Lower East Side

Paradoxes in Nurses’ Identity Culture and Image The Shadow Side of Nursing

Paradoxes in Nurses’ Identity Culture and Image The Shadow Side of Nursing

This book examines some of the more disturbing representations of nurses in popular culture to understand nursing’s complex identities challenges and future directions. It critically analyses disquieting representations of nurses who don’t care who kill who inspire fear or who do not comply with laws and policies. Also addressed are stories about how power is used as well as supernatural experiences in nursing. Using a series of examples taken from popular culture ranging from film television and novels to memoirs and true crime podcasts it interrogates the meaning of the shadow side of nursing and the underlying paradoxes that influence professional identity. Iconic nursing figures are still powerful today. Decades after they were first created Ratched and Annie Wilkes continue to make readers and viewers shudder at the prospect of ever being ill. Modern storytelling modes are bringing to audiences the grim reality that some nurses are members of the working poor like Cath Hardacre in Trust Me and others can be dangerous con artists like the nurse in Dirty John. This book is important reading for all those interested in understanding the links between nursing’s image and the profession’s potential as an agent for change. | Paradoxes in Nurses’ Identity Culture and Image The Shadow Side of Nursing

Nonetheless if used haphazardly it can have the opposite effect. Drawing on the fields of criminology social network analysis international relations and organizational theory and featuring a wealth of information about the drug cartels themselves Mexico's Drug War and Criminal Networks will be a great source for all those interested in the presence behavior purposes and strategies of drug cartels in their forays into social media platforms in Mexico and beyond. | Mexico's Drug War and Criminal Networks The Dark Side of Social Media

The first form of capital is financial – this normally includes physical forms of invested money in plant buildings and infrastructure. The second form of capital is human – seen simply as the level and range of skills and capabilities that are available for use in the society. When people are literate numerate skilled experienced informed cooperative and inquisitive they and their societies can do much more. The third form of capital is social. Here cooperativeness shows its effects and the rules of how that works vary greatly between societies. It is the second of these elements human capital that is the main focus of this book but it overlaps with social capital extensively in these accounts and can only be understood in terms of its connections into the wider societal system. The varying patterns of its workings and influence in different Asian contexts are explained against the background of a theory of societal progress. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Asia Pacific Business Review. | Social Aspects of Asian Economic Growth Human capital and the people side of progress

Reactions to the Law by Minority Religions

Reactions to the Law by Minority Religions

Much has been written about the law as it affects new and minority religions but relatively little has been written about how such religions react to the law. This book presents a wide variety of responses by minority religions to the legal environments within which they find themselves. An international panel of experts offer examples from North America Europe and Asia demonstrating how religions with relatively little status may resort to violence or passive acceptance of the law; how they may change their beliefs or practices in order to be in compliance with the law; or how they may resort to the law itself in order to change their legal standing sometimes by forging alliances with those with more power or authority to achieve their goals. The volume concludes by applying theoretical insights from sociological studies of law religion and social movements to the variety of responses. The first systematic collection focussing on how minority religions respond to efforts at social control by various governmental agents this book provides a vital reference for scholars of religion and the law new religious movements minority religions and the sociology of religion. | Reactions to the Law by Minority Religions

Learning by Teaching Evidence-based Strategies to Enhance Learning in the Classroom

Learning by Teaching Evidence-based Strategies to Enhance Learning in the Classroom

This book provides an essential overview of learning by teaching unpacking the underpinning theory research evidence and practical implications of peer learning in a variety of classroom contexts. It aims to offer practical guidance for practitioners in structuring effective peer learning – between professionals and between students alike. It locates this phenomenon in current conceptions of learning and teaching far removed from traditional ideas of one-way transmission of knowledge. Exactly what happens to promote learning by teaching is explored. Examples of learning by teaching are discussed and it is noted that this happens in school university and the workplace as well as through the Internet. Learning by teaching within the student body is then explored and many different methods described. The organizational features needed to improve learning by teaching consciously and deliberately are investigated. These can be before teaching during teaching or after teaching. Evidence-based practical guidance is given. Of course teachers can deploy learning by teaching for themselves but what if they also organize their students to teach each other thereby giving many more opportunities to discuss practise explain and question? This takes pedagogical advantage of the differences between students – turning classrooms into communities of learners where students learn both from their teacher and from their peers. | Learning by Teaching Evidence-based Strategies to Enhance Learning in the Classroom

The Legal Literature of Accounting On Accounts by Diego del Castillo

The Legal Literature of Accounting On Accounts by Diego del Castillo

This book first published in 1988 is an English translation of the sixteenth-century Spanish treatise Tratado de Cuentas or On Accounts by Diego del Castillo. The broad purpose of this work is to make this treatise and the issues it raises in accounting history better known. Despite its importance to the field the Tratado has until this point been relatively inaccessible. The Tratado is a legal treatise with legal implications – accounting activity has always had social consequences and as a result accounting practices have been subject to and shaped by legal constraints throughout their history. This work makes clear the important relationship between law and accounting. | The Legal Literature of Accounting On Accounts by Diego del Castillo
