A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

This collection invites readers to explore innovative or underexploited ways of working qualitatively with what in Translation Studies may be termed as elusive constructs. The volume adopts a functionalist approach to focus on one such concept namely the notion of translation problem using case studies to illustrate how a significant elusive construct can be addressed empirically. It explores different qualitative research methodologies which although well established in other fields are yet to be extensively used in TS but which may nevertheless prove to be of significance for future studies as they allow elusive concepts typically found in TS to be worked with more coherently. Chapters are structured around two core ideas: first the qualitative systematic analysis of source text content with emphasis on the detection of translation problems as a means of creating efficient frameworks for coherent decision-making from a functional perspective; and secondly the practical process of stereotyping and profiling specific problems within different contexts content types or services to help identify manage and resolve them in a number of settings from research to professional translator training and assessment environments. This book will be of interest to scholars in translation studies particularly those with an interest in qualitative approaches. | A Qualitative Approach to Translation Studies Spotlighting Translation Problems

GLUE Transforming Leadership in a Hybrid World

GLUE Transforming Leadership in a Hybrid World

The adoption of remote hybrid and flexible working is the new normal. But like the old normal no one seems very happy. The solution requires a different type of leadership – one that unites transforms and elevates performance. Leadership that creates glue. With employee engagement productivity and personal ties on the wane leaders urgently need to refocus on harnessing relationships making their organisations more humane and finding new ways to engage and unleash talent. To do that the single most impactful thing leaders can do is to create and nurture an intangible yet essential factor called glue. So this book sets out some ideas about glue: where to look for it how to use it and most importantly how to cultivate glue amongst your most valuable people. It explores the approach of some unusual leaders and of firms transformed through the ‘organisational advantage’ of smartly configuring and harnessing talent. Using stories from firms such as Alibaba Apple Barclays Sky Husqvarna Group HSBC Space X Zopa and Richer Sounds the book shows how leaders can shape the effectiveness of teams reimagine the workplace and reinvigorate their business through the talents ideas and energy of their firm’s best people. This book is for anyone who has a genuine interest in leading others with impact and wants to better unite transform and elevate their business. Whatever your role sector or seniority this book sets out a distinctive vision for the firm and shows the profound impact you can make through creating and nurturing glue. | GLUE Transforming Leadership in a Hybrid World

Alvar Aalto and the Future of Architecture

Alvar Aalto and the Future of Architecture

In the contemporary practice of architecture digital design and fabrication are emergent technologies in transforming how architects present a design and form a material strategy that is responsible equitable sustainable resilient and forward-looking. This book exposes dialogue between history theory design construction technology and sensory experience by means of digital simulations that enhance the assessment and values of our material choices. It offers a critical look to the past to inspire the future. This new edition looks to Alvar Aalto as the primary protagonist for channeling discussions related to these topics. Architects like ALA Shigeru Ban 3XN Peter Zumthor and others also play the role of contemporary guides in this review. The work of Aalto and selected contemporary architects along with computer modeling software showcase the importance of comprehensive design. Organized by the five Ts of contemporary architectural discourse—Typology Topology Tectonics Technic Thermodynamics—each chapter is used to connect history through Aalto and develop conversations concerning historical and contemporary models digital simulations ecological and passive/active material concerns construction and fabrications and healthy sensorial environments. Written for students and academics this book bridges knowledge from academia into practice and vice versa to help architects become better stewards of the environment make healthier and more accountable buildings and find ways to introduce policy to make technology a critical component in thinking about and making architecture. | Alvar Aalto and the Future of Architecture
