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 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.

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.

Emotional and Cognitive Overload The Dark Side of Information Technology

Emotional and Cognitive Overload The Dark Side of Information Technology

We live in a world of limitless information. With technology advancing at an astonishingly fast pace we are challenged to adapt to robotics and automated systems that threaten to replace us. Both at home and at work an endless range of devices and Information Technology (IT) systems place demands upon our attention that human beings have never experienced before but are our brains capable of processing it all? In this important new book an in-depth view is taken of IT's under-studied dark side and its dire consequences on individuals organizations and society. With theoretical underpinnings from the fields of cognitive psychology management and information systems the idea of brain overload is defined and explored from its impact on our decision-making and memory to how we may cope with the resultant 'technostress'. Discussing the negative consequences of technology on work substitution technologically induced work-family conflicts and organizational design as well as the initiatives set up to combat these the authors go on to propose measurement approaches for capturing the entangled aspects of IT-related overload. Concluding on an upbeat note the book's final chapter explores emerging technologies that can illuminate our world when mindfully managed. Designed to better equip humans for dealing with new technologies supported by case studies and also exploring the idea of 'IT addiction' the book concludes by asking how IT processes may aid rather than hinder our cognitive functioning. This is essential reading for anyone interested in how we function in the digital age. | Emotional and Cognitive Overload The Dark Side of Information Technology

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 Cultural Side of Innovation Adding Values

The Cultural Side of Innovation Adding Values

In most discussions about the knowledge-based economy innovation is associated or even equated with technology while culture’s influence is ignored.

This book places culture at the center of discussions on innovation beginning with a comprehensive introduction to innovation’s various forms including the history sociology and economics of innovation. Insights from marketing and psychology are integrated into a complexity theory framework which are then utilized to evaluate case studies of organizations experiencing repeated innovation successes. The sometimes fraught relationship of firms to creativity is discussed and a new model for to calculating the creativity of an economy is presented. | The Cultural Side of Innovation Adding Values

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

Social Aspects of Asian Economic Growth Human capital and the people side of progress

Social Aspects of Asian Economic Growth Human capital and the people side of progress

There are in simple terms three principal kinds of capital that come necessarily into play when a society is evolving towards improving the lives livelihoods and qualities of life of its people. 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

Capitalism and Colonial Production

Capitalism and Colonial Production

Capitalism and Colonial Production (1982) examines the ways in which capitalism has transformed the societies it came to dominate and the link between colonialism and capitalism. These essays confront the complex of issues using as material the various countries in Asia. They advance the debate by reconsidering the problems involved by identifying pre-colonial modes of production and by analysing the precise details of the changes wrought by colonial domination. They argue that capitalism does not in these countries co-exist side-by-side with feudalism but that colonialism has created distinctive forms of capitalism depending for their character on pre-colonial modes of production.

Temples of Luxury

Temples of Luxury

This two-volume collection of British primary sources examines institutions such as hotels inns arcades bazaars co-operatives shops and department stores in the long nineteenth century which were often coded as ‘luxurious’. This period was marked not only by an increase of individual consumerism but also by the institutionalisation of opulent often purpose-built spaces such as the much-admired new grand hotels supposedly an American invention and department stores modelled on the French grands magasins. These environments were tied to leisure (no longer a prerogative of the upper classes) and thus to modernity. In addition to addressing the luxurious side of these institutions including architectural innovation and interior decoration we also consider the other side of luxury examining the experience of staff and period debates over the morality of consumption. This edition seeks to explore a fascinating but hitherto often neglected side of the British nineteenth century by bringing together a collection of annotated primary texts and visual material documenting these ‘temples of luxury’ as they were seen by their contemporaries.
