The Dao of Translation: An East-West Dialogue
ISBN: 9781138846562 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 242 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The Dao of Translation sets up an East-West dialogue on the nature of language and translation, and specifically on the "unknown forces" that shape the act of translation. To that end it mobilizes two radically different readings of the Daodejing (formerly romanized as the Tao Te Ching): the traditional "mystical" reading according to which the Dao is a mysterious force that cannot be known, and a more recent reading put forward by Sinologists Roger T. Ames and David L. Hall, to the effect that the Dao is simply the way things happen. Key to Ames and Hall's reading...

Performative Linguistics: Speaking and Translating as Doing Things with Words
ISBN: 9780415753999 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 272 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. In this book, Douglas Robinson introduces a new distinction between 'constative' and 'performative' linguistics, arguing that Austin's distinction can be used to understand linguistic methodologies. Constative linguistics, Robinson suggests, includes methodologies aimed at 'freezing' language as an abstract sign system, while performative linguistics explores how language is used or 'performed' in those speech situations. Robinson then tests his hypothesis on the act of translation. Drawing on a range of language scholars and theorists, Performative Linguistics consolidates the many disparate...

The Pushing-Hands of Translation and its Theory: In memoriam Martha Cheung, 1953-2013
ISBN: 9781138901759 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 234 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book presents an East-West dialogue of leading translation scholars responding to and developing Martha Cheung s "pushing-hands" method of translation studies. Pushing-hands was an idea Martha began exploring in the last four years of her life, and only had time to publish at article length in 2012. The concept of pushing-hands suggests a promising line of inquiry into the problem of conflict in translation. Pushing-hands opens a new vista for translation scholars to understand and explain how to develop an awareness of non-confrontational, alternative ways to handle translation...

Translation and Empire: Postcolonial Theories Explained
ISBN: 9781900650083 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 132 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Arising from cultural anthropology in the late 1980s and early 1990s, postcolonial translation theory is based on the observation that translation has often served as an important channel of empire. Douglas Robinson begins with a general presentation of postcolonial theory, examines current theories of the power differentials that control what gets translated and how, and traces the historical development of postcolonial thought about translation. He also explores the negative and positive impact of translation in the postcolonial context, reviewing various critiques of postcolonial...

ISBN: 9780875805719 / Angielski / Miękka / 1996 / 251 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. From the time of the first written sacred texts in the West, taboo has proscribed the act and art of translation. So argues the author of this book, exploring the age-old prohibition of translation of sacred texts. He shows how similar taboos influence interculture exchange. Probing concepts about language, culture, and geopolitical boundaries - both archaic and contemporary - he investigates the origins of translation and traces the implications for the transference of ideas.

Translationality: Essays in the Translational-Medical Humanities
ISBN: 9780367410735 / Angielski / Miękka / 2019 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This book defines "translationality" by weaving a number of sub- and interdisciplinary interests through the medical humanities: medicine in literature, the translational history of medical literature, a medical (neuroscience) approach to literary translation and translational hermeneutics, and a humanities (phenomenological/performative) approach to translational medicine. It consists of three long essays: the first on the traditional medicine-in-literature side of the medical humanities, with a close look at a recent novel built around the Capgras delusion and other neurological...

Introducing Performative Pragmatics
ISBN: 9780415371872 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 288 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This user-friendly introduction to a new performative methodology in linguistic pragmatics breaks away from the traditional approach which understands language as a machine. Drawing on a wide spectrum of research and theory from the past thirty years in particular, Douglas Robinson presents a combination of action-oriented approaches from sources such as J.L. Austin, H. Paul Grice, Harold Garfinkel and Erving Goffman. Paying particular attention to language as drama, the group regulation of language use, individual resistance to these regulatory pressures and nonverbal...
