Abstract

Studies of race and media are dominated by textual approaches that explore the politics of representation. But there is little understanding of how and why representations of race in the media take the shape that they do. How, one might ask, is race created by cultural industries?In this important new book, Anamik Saha encourages readers to focus on the production of representations of racial and ethnic minorities in film, television, music and the arts. His interdisciplinary approach combines critical media studies and media industries research with postcolonial studies and critical race perspectives to reveal how political economic forces and legacies of empire shape industrial cultural production and, in turn, media discourses around race.Race and the Cultural Industries is required reading for students and scholars of media and cultural studies, as well as anyone interested in why historical representations of 'the Other' persist in the media and how they are to be challenged.

Abstract

If it is bilingualism that transfers information and ideas from culture to culture, it is the translator who systematizes and generalizes this process. The translator serves as a mediator of cultures. In this collection of essays, based on a conference held at the University of Hartford, a group of individuals - professional translators, linguists, and literary scholars - exchange their views on translation and its power to influence literary traditions and to shape cultural and economic identities. The authors explore the implications of their views on the theory and craft of translation, both written and oral, in an era of unsettling globalizing forces.

Abstract

D'où venons-nous ? Que sommes-nous ? Où allons-nous ? C'est à ces questions universelles que répond ce livre. Lluís Quintana-Murci, biologiste franco-espagnol de renommée mondiale, nous convie à un grand voyage dans le temps et dans l'espace à la recherche de nos origines et de notre destinée. Il se fonde sur les outils puissants qu'offrent les sciences les plus récentes pour déchiffrer nos génomes et explorer leur diversité à travers les populations humaines, non seulement celles d'aujourd'hui, mais aussi, grâce aux vestiges fossiles, celles d'hier. Il retrace l'extraordinaire histoire du peuplement humain à travers le monde : de la sortie d'Afrique il y a plus de 60 000 ans au peuplement de la Polynésie il y a juste quelques millénaires. Il établit l'existence d'espèces humaines éteintes, révèle comment les populations humaines se sont constamment métissées entre elles, mais aussi avec des humains archaïques, comme l'homme de Neandertal. Nous sommes tous des métis. Il montre que c'est ce métissage même, y compris celui avec les humains archaïques, qui a contribué à la survie des humains, notamment face aux pathogènes, et notamment aux virus ! Toutefois, l'héritage néandertalien qui est en nous peut parfois se révéler délétère… et même affaiblir notre immunité face au Covid-19 ! -- quatrième de couverture.

Abstract

This book re-examines the relationship between language and national identity. Unlike many previous studies, it employs a comparative approach: France and Sweden have been chosen as case studies both for theirsimilarities (e.g. both are member states of the European Union) as well as their important differences (e.g. France subscribes in principle to a civic model of national identity, whereas the basis of Swedish identity isundeniably ethnic). It is precisely differences such as these which allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the ethnolinguistic implications of some of the major challenges currently facing France, Sweden and other European countries: regionalism, immigration, European integration and globalization.The present volume benefits from the use of a multidisciplinary approach, and differs from others on the market because of the variety of methods of inquiry used. A series of societal analyses is complemented by an empiricalcomponent, bringing a more grounded understanding to the issue of language and national identity.
