A dialectal reading of the History of Translation
2013
The translation of dialect is one of the most difficult and yet interesting challenges facing literary translators. Although theoretical contributions about dialect translation develop mainly from 1960, this article proposes a historical reading of the history of translation from antiquity to the first half of the 20th century, inquiring about the “implications” that the milestones of translation might have had on the translation of dialect. Since dialect texts are conceived within a political hierarchy of language, a parallelism is established between ‘dialect-standard’ and ‘vernacular language-dominant language’. The emergence of terms and practices relevant for dialect translation (forei…
Bourdieu and public service interpreting and translation: towards a social theory in PSIT
2010
Within Translation Studies (TS), Public Service Interpreting and Translation (PSIT) is a relatively recent area (Critical Link 1995) still fighting for academic and professional recognition inside and outside the limits of that discipline. The growing interest in PSIT is undoubtedly linked to the migration phenomenon and the intervention of intermediaries (interpreters and translators) who make communication possible is generally recognised. But the controversy about the role(s) these intermediaries have to perform in public services seems to be one of the main difficulties to obtain academic and institutional acceptance and recognition. Following the influence of Bourdieu's social theory i…
La construcción de relaciones en el canal de distribución desde la perspectiva del minorista. Una propuesta de modelo integrador
2017
El comercio minorista en España tiene un peso específico muy importante en la economía, atribuyéndosele la cualidad de ser un sector dinamizador de la misma. En los últimos años dibuja un panorama complejo y cambiante, entre otras razones, por la irrupción de la tecnología y de otras formas de innovación que están modificando la forma en la que las empresas interactúan en el canal de distribución. Ante este nuevo escenario, es tarea básica conocer cómo se conforman las relaciones que las organizaciones establecen entre sí. La literatura muestra la creación de valor como una fuente de ventaja competitiva; junto al valor, la confianza y el compromiso se presentan, en las aportaciones más clás…
La represión inquisitorial sobre los moriscos de Gea de Albarracín
2018
El presente trabajo pretende hacer un estudio monográfico de la trayectoria de la comunidad morisca de Gea de Albarracín desde el momento de su conversión forzosa hasta el de su expulsión, por tanto, entre 1525 y 1610. Nuestro objetivo es realizar una aportación al estudio de la historia de la minoría morisca profundizando en el estudio de los mecanismos de control social, material y de las conciencias que la Inquisición aplicó sobre este grupo. Los aspectos principales que hemos intentado estudiar han sido los siguientes: - Funcionamiento interno de las comunidades moriscas como núcleos de conservación de cultura, religión e identidades. - Penetrar en la mentalidad y las motivaciones del g…
Unaccompanied Foreign Minors in Italy: Problems, Contradictions and Social Inequalities.
2018
In recent years, in Italy, the interest in Unaccompanied Foreign Minors has increased, also because the number of migrant arrivals has increased . The theme has activated several debates and policies to manage emergencies and to reply to the needs of children . In 2016, the minors who arrived on Italian coasts were 24 .929 . Sicily is the main region that hosts migrants and where 40,9% of the Unaccompanied Foreign Minors are present . The analysis proposes a reflection on the difficulties encountered by minors in the new country and on the contradictions that come from the different meaning that age, as a conceptual category and as the organizational principle of society, has for the social…
UNACCOMPANIED FOREIGN MINORS: A REFLECTION ABOUT THEIR CONDITION AND THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THEIR AGE
2021
During the year 2020, the vulnerable conditions of “unaccompanied foreign minors” were amplified primarily due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, which led to additional problems in the reception system too. In 2020, in Italy, the minors are 7.080. Sicily is the main region where 25,3% of the Unaccompanied Foreign Minors are present. There are several critical issues, for example, from April 2020, the Italian Ministry of the Interior and Civil Protection introduced measures to ensure the quarantine of persons arriving by sea in quarantine ships. Other difficulties that the reception system has had to face in the last year, such as the interruption of forms of socio-labor insertion or t…

The New Moral Power of Minorities
2018
The model of three interrelated social entities proposed by Gabriel Mugny to account for the role of active minorities in social innovation and change retains all its relevance and heuristic value (cf. Mugny, 1982). However, the fight of the civil rights movements of the ’60s transformed the moral perspective from which the majority regards their own behaviors towards social minorities. This resulted in an immorality judgment of discriminatory attitudes and behaviors that had long been regarded as natural. Thus a change has been effected on the relationships between majority and minority groups, providing minorities with a new moral power. As a result of such a new moral representation of p…
Gifting, service, and performance: three eras in minority-language media policy and practice
2011
Adapting Tom Ricento’s (2006) three-era framework in language policy to the case of the Sami in Finland and Irish in the Republic of Ireland, we identify three key eras in the development of minority-language media: the gifting era, the service era, and the performance era. Each era has its own particular logic and normativities in relation to the value and functions allocated to minoritylanguage media, the key actors involved in these media, and concepts of languages and speakers. Although we observe a chronology in the evolution of these eras, previous eras do not simply disappear with this evolution. We argue instead that they are embedded in any single moment of media engagement in rela…
