        Diaspora as translation and decolonisation

        by Ipek Demir

        This innovative study engages critically with existing conceptualisations of diaspora, arguing that if diaspora is to have analytical purchase, it should illuminate a specific angle of migration or migrancy. To reveal the much-needed transformative potential of the concept, the book looks specifically at how diasporas undertake translation and decolonisation. It offers various conceptual tools for investigating diaspora, with a specific focus on diasporas in the Global North and a detailed empirical study of the Kurdish diaspora in Europe. The book also considers the backlash diasporas of colour have faced in the Global North.

        Study on Yao Literature Panwang Dage and its English Translation

        by Peng Qing

        The book studys the translation of Panwang Dage, a great Yao epic, from Chinese to English. It initially illustrates the text from linguistic level and cultural level, providing the basis for the use of translation strategies and methods focusing on oral literature of the southern ethnic minorities in China. Further, the author conducts theoretical interpretation and derivations, and puts forward some new ideas, like "dynamic equivalence of domestication and foreignization", "progressive translation based on cultural memes", etc., which can work in the translation of Chinese folk classics, especially the epics of southern China.

        The Classic of Mountains and Seas (Picture Version)

        by Huang Xuran, Tang Sulan

        "The Classic of Mountains and Seas (Picture Version)" is a children's traditional cultural enlightenment book with a fresh perspective. Selected representative and interesting chapters in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" were drawn into the book, which depicts a series of images in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" such as water systems, mountains, vegetations, trees, mountain gods, sacred beasts, water monsters, etc. In this imaginative picture book, images are vivid and the story theme is ups and downs.

The whole book takes a retro and creative form with concise and simple text and simple and freehand ink painting through the mountain and sea scriptures, depicting a mythical world where the heavens and the earth are prevalent and the gods and monsters are in chaos.

        Sprache, Zeichen, Interpretation

        by Günter Abel

        In diesem Buch geht es darum, die interpretationsbestimmten Grundlagen der Verständigung, des Weltbezugs und des Handelns in Lebenswelt, Wissenschaft, Ethik und Kunst herauszuarbeiten. Da sich alle Wissenschaften, Künste und Handlungen in sprachlichen und nichtsprachlichen Zeichen vollziehen und daher immer schon auf Interpretationsprozesse bezogen sind, läßt sich der Ansatz in diesen Bereichen zur Analyse der Grundlagen und der interdisziplinären Zusammenhänge heranziehen.

        Wahrheit und Interpretation

        by Donald Davidson, Dieter Henrich, Niklas Luhmann, Joachim Schulte, Friedhelm Herborth

        Die Kernfrage der heutigen analytischen Philosophie, die Frage, die sie von allen früheren und allen konkurrierenden philosophischen Ansätzen abhebt, ist die Frage nach dem Wesen der Bedeutung sprachlicher Ausdrücke. Davidson zeigt, daß eine Theorie der von ihm ins Auge gefaßten Art empirischen Charakter hat, ihre Axiome und Lehrsätze also gesetzesartig sein müssen. Wie die Theorie für sprachphilosophische Einzelprobleme fruchtbar gemacht werden kann, demonstriert Davidson in Aufsätzen über das Problem der Übersetzung, die Möglichkeiten und Schwierigkeiten des Zitierens, das Verhältnis von Glauben und Bedeutung, Sprache und Wirklichkeit sowie in seinen Auseinandersetzungen mit Quine und Dummett, Carnap und Church, Chomsky und Frege.

        Borrowed objects and the art of poetry

        Spolia in Old English verse

        by Denis Ferhatovic

        This study examines Exeter riddles, Anglo-Saxon biblical poems (Exodus, Andreas, Judith) and Beowulf in order to uncover the poetics of spolia, an imaginative use of recycled fictional artefacts to create sites of metatextual reflection. Old English poetry famously lacks an explicit ars poetica. This book argues that attention to particularly charged moments within texts - especially those concerned with translation, transformation and the layering of various pasts - yields a previously unrecognised means for theorising Anglo-Saxon poetic creativity. Borrowed objects and the art of poetry works at the intersections of materiality and poetics, balancing insights from thing theory and related approaches with close readings of passages from Old English texts.

        Chosen peoples

        The Bible, race and empire in the long nineteenth century

        by Gareth Atkins, Shinjini Das, Brian Murray

        Chosen peoples demonstrates how biblical themes, ideas and metaphors shaped racial, national and imperial identities in the long nineteenth century. Even as radical new ideas challenged the historicity of the Bible, biblical notions of lineage, descent and inheritance continued to inform understandings of race, nation and empire. European settler movements portrayed 'new' territories across the seas as lands of Canaan, but if many colonised and conquered peoples resisted the imposition of biblical narratives, they also appropriated biblical tropes to their own ends. These innovative case-studies throw new light on familiar areas such as slavery, colonialism and the missionary project, while forging exciting cross-comparisons between race, identity and the politics of biblical translation and interpretation in South Africa, Egypt, Australia, America and Ireland.

        Sigmund Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams

        by Laura Marcus

        Freud's The Interpretation of Dreams, published in 1900, has been one of the most influential texts of the modern era, fundamentally changing the ways in which people have thought about their waking lives as well as their dreams. This book, more than any other in Freud's massive oeuvre, has shaped a vast amount of work in linguistics and semiotics, literary studies, film theory, psychology, philosophical hermeneutics and the history of ideas. This influence is reflected in the editor's introduction, which includes a substantial discussion of the theory and practice of representation, and the six essays specially commissioned for this volume. The contributors are renowned for their knowledge of Freudian theory and for their interdisciplinary expertise in a wide range of fields. They examine, for example, the relationship of Freud's text to theories of interpretation, autobiography and literary production. The book as a whole gives a clear sense both of the context of Freud's text and of its influence throughout the twentieth century. This volume is an ideal introduction to Freud's work for students and teachers of English and other literatures, philosophy and social and cultural studies, as well as the wider audience concerned with psychoanalysis and its cultural ramifications. ;

        Philosophie und Interpretation

        Vorlesungen zur Entwicklung konstruktionistischer Interpretationsansätze. Überarbeitet unter Mitwirkung von Ekaterini Kaleri

        by Hans Lenk, Ekaterini Kaleri

        Bisher ist es nicht gelungen, einen einheitlichen Begriff für empirische Wissenschaften, Formalwissenschaften und normative Disziplinen zu entwickeln, der geeignet wäre, die seit dem letzten Jahrhundert aufgebrochene Kluft zwischen den Natur- und Geisteswissenschaften zu überbrücken. Hans Lenk nimmt vorliegende philosophische Deutungen des Interpretationsbegriffs und des Interpretierens als Tätigkeit in Auswahl auf, um auf eine systematische Erfassung des konstruktiven Charakters und der praktischen Gebrauchs- und Anwendungsaspekte des Interpretierens unter dem Gesichtspunkt einer Vereinheitlichung der Problembehandlung in der Alltagserkenntnis und in den Disziplinen sowohl der Natur- wie der Geisteswissenschaften hinzulenken. Seit zwei Jahrzehnten hat Lenk einen Ansatz der Interpretationskonstrukte beim Handlungs-, Motivations- und Vernunftbegriff konzipiert, der hier verallgemeinert wird. So wird in Anknüpfung an Kants transzendentalen Idealismus und Nietzsches perspektivische Philosophie der Interpretationen ein eigener methodologischer Interpretationskonstruktionismus entwickelt, der die methodologischen Probleme und Fragen der Konstruktivität bzw. Schemaanwendung der Interpretationen in den Vordergrund rückt. (Die Frage der Vereinbarkeit von Interpretationskonstruktionismus und Realismus wird in einem für 1994 vorgesehenen Band – »Interpretation und Realität« – genauer analysiert und beantwortet.)

        Zeichen und Interpretation V

        by Werner Stegmaier

        Der Titel »Zeichen-Kunst« zielt zum einen auf die Kunst des alltäglichen Zeichen-Gebrauchs, zum anderen auf die Kunst als Zeichen-Kunst. Zum dritten geht es darum, was beide füreinander bedeuten. Das ist, in ihrer Allgemeinheit, eine philosophische Frage und innerhalb der Philosophie eine Frage der Ersten Philosophie. Sie wird - in der Reihe »Zeichen und Interpretation«, deren v. Band hier vorgelegt wird - durch eine Philosophie des Zeichens und der Interpretation beantwortet, in der der Gedanke gereift ist, daß alles, was wir verstehen, Zeichen sind.

        Interpretation und Lebensroman

        Zu einer konstruktivistischen Literaturtheorie

        by Bernd Scheffer

        Mittlerweile gibt es in der Literaturwissenschaft zwar vielfältig Erklärungen, wie Produktion und Rezeption von Literatur als historische und gesellschaftliche Phänomene zu denken wären, man hat aber wenig genaue Vorstellungen davon, was beim Schreiben und Lesen von Literatur im eigenen »Kopf« und gerade auch in den »Köpfen« der anderen (der Autoren, der Leser) vorzugehen scheint. Eine zentrale These dieses Buches lautet: Wir nehmen die Welt und die Literatur wahr in einer endlos autobiographischen Tätigkeit; Wirklichkeits-Konstruktionen (und Textbedeutungen) werden in einem Prozeß der Selbstbeschreibung erzeugt und aufrechterhalten. Die konstruktivistische Parallelität von Wahrnehmung, Erkenntnis, Wissen und schließlich auch von Interpretation zeigt: die genauere Untersuchung der »Gegenstände« von Welt und Literatur bringt primär die Eigenschaften von Beobachtern zum Vorschein, nicht die der »Gegenstände«. Wir entdecken nicht die »Realität« oder die der »Realität« opponierende ästhetische Gegensetzung, sondern die eigenen Wirklichkeits-Konstruktionen. Die Diskurs-Regeln, die Konstruktions-Regeln, die Konventionalität, die Kompetenz, aber auch der Mut und die Ängste des Literatur-Beobachters kommen jetzt verstärkt zum Vorschein – und nicht »Texte« als inhaltlich weitgehend stabile Vorgaben.

        Festivals of Chinese Ethnic Groups·Ewenki: The God of Fire Festival

        by Yan Xiangjun, Zha Xuan

        This book mainly describes the origin of the Ewenki ethnic group's god of fire sacrificial custom. According to legend, a poor hunter went hunting a long time ago, but he ran for a whole day without catching any prey. When he was tired and hungry, a cave appeared in front of his eyes. He walked into the cave in a daze and fell asleep. When he woke up, he found two completely different houses, one was owned by the rich and the other was by the poor. The hunter went to the rich's house for help, but was expelled by the rich with disgust. The hunter then went to the poor's house and was warmly welcomed. At this time, the hunter heard someone talking on the roof: "Let me punish the greedy rich!" Then the hunter realized that the man on the roof was the god of fire, whom everyone feared. The Ewenki people regard the 23rd of December every year as the God of Fire Festival.
