Abstract

Doelstelling: In deze scriptie wordt er nagegaan welke vertaalstrategieën de vertaler toepast bij culturele referenties. De verschillende classificaties van die strategieën die in de literatuur werden teruggevonden, worden samengevat in één enkele lijst. Bij elke strategie wordt de theorie getoetst aan de praktijk: er wordt telkens een voorbeeld gegeven uit de Nederlandse vertaling van 'The Lost Continent'. Tenslotte wordt er ook nog nagegaan welke factoren de vertaler beïnvloeden bij het kiezen van een bepaalde strategie. Middelen of methode: Het basismateriaal bestaat uit: 1. een aantal werken over het toepassen van strategieën bij culturele referenties (Mona Baker, J.F. Aixelá, Eirlys E. Davies etc.) 2. 'The Lost Continent' van Bill Bryson (zowel de eerste als een recentere uitgave) 3. 'Het Verloren Continent', de Nederlandse versie van 'The Lost Continent, vertaald door Jean Schalekamp. Resultaten: De verschillende classificaties van vertaalstrategieën voor culturele referenties werden uiteindelijk samengevat in een lijst van acht strategieën. Bij de vertaling van 'The Lost Continent' speelt de tekstsoort een belangrijke rol wanneer de vertaler een strategie moet kiezen. Aangezien het boek een beeld wil geven van de VS en de cultuur van het land, spelen de culturele referenties een belangrijke rol. De vertaler probeert die dan ook zoveel mogelijk te bewaren en zet slechts weinig referenties om in de doelcultuur.

Abstract

This volume brings together original essays by internationally renowned scholars who provide a wide-ranging examination of national security in India. They discuss strategic and foreign policy issues that lie at the heart of India's security concerns in today's world order. The book charts India's growth from a poor, developing country to a middle-ranking nuclear power and examines its position in a US-dominated world order. It then looks at India's relations with its nuclear neighbours-China and Pakistan and explores possibilities of nuclear risk-reduction in the South Asian region. The volum

Abstract

This book provides an alternative perspective of International Relations from Hiroshima to 9/11, both its diplomacy and mainstream scholarship are linked by realpolitik, in a vicious circle of retrogressive symbiosis. It simultaneously undermined the UN system of collective security from its origin and the scientific credential for its scholarship. The Cold War that it spawned restricted economic prosperity, political stability, and democratic freedom within its narrow core-area of the United States and Europe at the cost of its vast periphery in the Third World. Its unpredicted collapse extended insecurity across the entire globalised system, including its core-are as events since 9/11 forcefully underscores. While the new hegemonic system has become globally more insecure for all its citizens, its scholarship is still clueless about the collapse of the bipolar system it created in the midst of the massive confidence-building exercise to stabilize it.

Abstract

David Rumsey's collection of historical maps is one of the largest and most complete of its kind. The Rumsey collection is focused for the most part on North and South America in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The maps selected in this book tell a hundred distinct, exciting, important, and sometimes controversial stories, along two main paths of inquiry : how did a continental wilderness become a civilization, and how has the development of cartographic science changed the ways we perceive, describe, study, and use that land?

Abstract

This title represents a comprehensive study of Israel's attempts to build diplomatic relations with countries on the Asian continent. The author argues that, despite the persistence of the Arab Israeli conflict, the Israeli Foreign Ministry was remarkably successful in gaining recognition in most Asian countries. He provides an overview of Israel's relations with Asian countries from 1948 until the present, and analyses the political, social and economic factors in each country and the role that each played in the process of rapprochement with Israel. He explores the reasons for Israel's succe

Abstract

Dix ans après la signature du traité instituant l'Accord de libre-échange de l'Amérique du Nord (ALENA) et à l'heure où le projet de Zone de libre-échange des Amériques (ZLEA) semblait devoir se concrétiser pour 2005, il était temps de dresser, pour la première fois en France, un bilan des effets, tant sociaux et culturels qu'économiques, de cet accord et des débats qu'il a suscités au Canada, aux États-Unis et au Mexique. L'ALENA est ici traité comme un exemple particulièrement démonstratif des nouveaux processus d'intégration régionale qui ont connu une intensification remarquable pendant la dernière décennie, tant en Amérique que dans le reste du monde. Les questions importantes soulevées au moment de sa signature et de sa ratification restent d'actualité : questions politiques au sens large, qui portent sur la souveraineté des États contractants, la protection des droits des travailleurs et de l'environnement, mais aussi conséquences économiques, territoriales et sociales d'une nouvelle configuration géopolitique, représentant un « bloc » de 400 millions d'habitants. Ces questions sont abordées ici dans une perspective pluridisciplinaire, favorisée par la diversité des points de vue portés sur l'intégration nord-américaine par une vingtaine d'universitaires et de chercheurs mexicains, canadiens, américains et français.

Abstract

When black women were brought from Africa to the New World as slave laborers, their value was determined by their ability to work as well as their potential to bear children, who by law would become the enslaved property of the mother's master. In Laboring Women: Reproduction and Gender in New World Slavery, Jennifer L. Morgan examines for the first time how African women's labor in both senses became intertwined in the English colonies. Beginning with the ideological foundations of racial slavery in early modern Europe, Laboring Women traverses the Atlantic, exploring the social and cultural lives of women in West Africa, slaveowners' expectations for reproductive labor, and women's lives as workers and mothers under colonial slavery. Challenging conventional wisdom, Morgan reveals how expectations regarding gender and reproduction were central to racial ideologies, the organization of slave labor, and the nature of slave community and resistance. Taking into consideration the heritage of Africans prior to enslavement and the cultural logic of values and practices recreated under the duress of slavery, she examines how women's gender identity was defined by their shared experiences as agricultural laborers and mothers, and shows how, given these distinctions, their situation differed considerably from that of enslaved men. Telling her story through the arc of African women's actual lives-from West Africa, to the experience of the Middle Passage, to life on the plantations-she offers a thoughtful look at the ways women's reproductive experience shaped their roles in communities and helped them resist some of the more egregious effects of slave life. Presenting a highly original, theoretically grounded view of reproduction and labor as the twin pillars of female exploitation in slavery, Laboring Women is a distinctive contribution to the literature of slavery and the history of women.
