Flora Ossette’s ‘feminist visibility’ in her translation of Olive Schreiner’s Woman and Labour
2011
The visibility of the translator has become a pervasive topic of discussion in translation studies ever since it was explicitly approached by Lawrence Venuti in his well known 1995 The Translator’s Invisibility. In Flora Ossette’s translation into Spanish of Woman and Labour by Olive Schreiner we cannot only appreciate the voice of the “implicit translator” (Hermans 1996) but also the “explicit” voice. Indeed, the translator actively participates in the text by adding, omitting, reorganizing or emphasizing Schreiner’s ideas. Moreover, led on by the feminist ideals shared by both writer and translator, no less than by her fervent admiration for the South African authoress, she actually becom…
Tulka un tulkotāja profesiju atspoguļojums Latvijas plašsaziņas līdzekļos 2014.gadā
2015
Rakstiskā un mutiskā tulkošana ir divas savstarpēji cieši saistītas valodniecības disciplīnas. Abas profesijas atvieglo komunikāciju starp cilvēkiem un kultūrām. Lai varētu nodarboties ar vienu vai otru profesiju, ir nepieciešams apgūt daudzas un dažādas prasmes un kompetences. Lai vai kā, abu profesiju statuss un redzamība ļoti atšķiras. Profesijas statuss lielā mērā ir atkarīgs no tās redzamības sabiedrībā. Gan tulka, gan tulkotāja profesija Latvijā vēl ir salīdzinoši jauna. Ņemot vērā, ka mūsdienu pasaulē masu medijiem ir duāla loma, jo tie ne tikai atspoguļo sabiedrības uzskatus, bet arī tos veido, abu profesiju atspoguļojumam medijos var būt liela ietekme uz to statusu Latvijas sabiedr…

On the Bride’s side? Fra politica della dislocazione ed etica del posizionamento
2016
This paper aims at critically exploring the network geographies underlying the production, distribution and consumption of the Italian docu-film "On the Bride’s side". Through a successful crowdfunding campaign and hundreds of screenings throughout Europe, the docu- film has given rise to a wide diasporic public sphere. It is here that mainstream practices and alternative imaginations combine each other and unveil the complex and contested production of the cultural field

Knowledge Brokering in an Era of Communication Visibility
2023
This study presents an analysis of the extent to which enterprise social media (ESM) use enhances visibility of content (message transparency) and connections (network translucence) in organizations, and how this affects knowledge brokering. The findings support the theory of communication visibility by demonstrating that ESM use is associated with perceptions of message transparency and network translucence. Furthermore, the findings suggest that employees, regardless of their position within a network, are provided with a vision advantage and thus have the ability to engage in knowledge brokering. Future work needs to examine the impact of network characteristics on these effects. This ar…
Benefits and drawbacks of communication visibility : from vicarious learning and supplemental work to knowledge reuse and overload
2022
Purpose This study aims to examine some of the benefits and drawbacks of communication visibility. Specifically, building on communication visibility theory, the authors study how and why message transparency and network translucence may increase knowledge reuse and perceived overload through behavioral responses of vicarious learning and technology-assisted supplemental work. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on survey data obtained from 1,127 employees of a global company operating in the industrial machinery sector, the authors used structural equation modeling to test the hypothesized model. Findings The results demonstrate that the two aspects of communication visibility yield somew…
Visibility in Open Workspaces : Implications for Organizational Identification
2022
This study takes an affordance perspective to examine visibility in open workspaces and its relationship to organizational identification. Spatial visibility—the possibility for members’ behaviors to be visible to others in organizational space—was investigated in a Finnish organization following a transition to open workspace. Interview and survey data revealed that spatial visibility highlighted similarities among workers’ facilities and enhanced exposure and company branding, making attachment to the organization more salient. Visibility also afforded perceptions of inequality by exposing some workers’ space limitations and other constraints in the sociomaterial context, diminishing thei…
Who Can See My Stuff? : Online Self-Disclosure and Gender Differences on Facebook
2018
This study investigates the gendered privacy practices and concerns on Facebook, by leaning on the idea of privacy management as a form of digital labour. We analyse if young Facebook users are more concerned about the privacy against other users than against Facebook as a company or against third-party partners. We also analyse if privacy concerns and visibility rules are differentiated by gender. Using a structured online survey, we collected responses from a sample of 813 Italian university students (aged 18-34). Our results show that the respondents have just slightly more privacy concerns against other users than against Facebook, and much less against third-party partners. Unlike a ma…
Transformation of the Forest-based Bioeconomy by Embracing Digital Solutions
2017
This paper attempts to explore a new insight to both industrialized and growing economies by demonstrating a digital-driven creative disruption in the forest-based bioeconomy which is beginning to replace its conventional and narrow concept of a forest-blinded economy. Notwithstanding the potential broad cross-sectoral benefits to both industrialized and growing economies, natural environments and locality constraints and the incessant challenge of distance have impeded balanced development of this economy. However, driven by digital solutions the economy has taken big steps forward in recent years. Digitalization has enabled real-time end-to-end supply chain visibility, improved delivery a…
