Negotiating the Terminological Borders of ‘Language Mediation’ in English and Italian. A Discussion on the Repercussions of Terminology on the Practi…
2015
Linguistic and cultural mediation has been playing an increasingly important role in contemporary society as a result of the intensification of international exchanges and migration flows; however, the definitions that have been given of it are still rather vague and inconsistent. In some cases linguistic and cultural mediation is seen as a broad superordinate category, comprising a range of different interlinguistic and intercultural activities serving the purpose of facilitating communication across languages, cultures and societies in various areas of civil society: industry, business, trade, law, literature, academia, institutions, public services, etc. In other cases, instead, the defi…
Exotismo y educación colonial. El guineano como curiosidad en las ferias muestrario de Valencia, 1942-1948
2020
El propósito de este artículo es analizar la presencia de Guinea en las ferias muestrario que se celebraron en Valencia durante la década de 1940. En ellas, de acuerdo con la doctrina de la Hispanidad, la colonia se delimitó como un territorio a civilizar –cristianizar y españolizar–, siendo de vital importancia en el discurso público la retórica nacionalcatolicista que entreveraba negocio y misión. Para ello, los organizadores optaron por la estrategia de poner en escena los recursos naturales de la colonia y a sus habitantes, especialmente a los fang de la Guinea continental. El interés del caso valenciano es doble. Por un lado, nos permite entender las dinámicas puestas en marcha por el…
Viajeros étnicos, gestos exóticos y encuentros esporádicos: los tours mayas en Los Altos de Chiapas
2018
Este trabajo reflexiona sobre la interacción turista/anfitrión en los tours étnicos promovidos en la región Altos Tsotsil-Tseltal Chiapas, México. Las agencias turísticas promueven diferentes encuentros de los turistas con la población indígena donde se espera que los primeros cumplan con sus expectativas sobre el Otro exótico y los segundos se acoplen a los imaginarios que corren sobre sí mismos. Aquí, al contrario, interesa analizar un espacio turístico en constante construcción con la observación de tres lugares de protagonismo indígena: un mercado indígena en San Cristóbal de Las Casas, una iglesia en San Juan Chamula y una casa de tejedoras en Zinacantán, donde los roles sociales del v…
El lenguaje afectivo durante la crisis sanitaria de la gripe A
2010
In this article we analyze the effects that, as seen through the written press, the arrival of H1N1 had on certain affective behaviors in society. After the spread of H1N1, health authorities recommended maintaining physical distance in social settings and, among other measures, advised against kissing. At first, this show of affection became a victim of the pandemic, especially in certain activities and rituals. However, once the media impact of swine flu had subsided, kissing recovered its habitual place and frequency, demonstrating that customs which are socially and culturally entrenched are resistant to change.
INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION. ANNA BĒRZKALNE<br>MEDNARODNO SODELOVANJE. ANNA BĒRZKALNE</br>
2011
Cooperation among professional folklore researchers is a considerable issue for the history of the discipline. In the 1920s and 1930s, the most noteworthy Latvian partner in the then existing international collaboration network was Anna Bērzkalne (1891–1956). She was a representative of the historic-geographical method in Latvian folkloristics. Anna Bērzkalne was very enthusiastic about providing Latvian folklore materials to researchers abroad. She in return also received support to her studies and research. *** Sodelovanje med poklicnimi raziskovalci folklore je pomembno vprasanje v zgodovini discipline. V 20. in 30. letih 20. stoletja je bila v Latviji v mednarodnih stikih najopaznejsa A…
THE RELIGIOUS FEAST OF ST. AGATHA. A MODERN INITIATION RITE IN CATANIA<br>VERSKI PRAZNIK SV. AGATE. SODOBNI INICIACIJSKI RITUAL V CATANIJI</…
2007
This religious feast is one of the most important in the Mediterranean area. It attracts a very large number of the faithful, especially young people, who live out this commemorative moment like an casual appointment with the patron saint of Catania, a town in the Sicilian region of southern Italy. This analysis shows how the event represents not only a religious feast, consecrating the annual encounter between the saint and her local community, but also a kind of modern youth initiation rite. Verski praznik sv. Agate je eden najpomembnejsih na sredozemskem obmocju. Privabi stevilne vernike, posebej mlade, ki doživijo ta komemorativni dogodek kot priložnostno srecanje z zavetnikom Catanije,…

Of “You” and “Thou,” Lips and Pilgrims in the Translation of Romeo and Juliet’s “Shared Sonnet”: A Hands-On Perspective
2019
Abstract It is not a recent discovery in the field of language history that the address pronouns thou and you were not, in Shakespeare’s time, used indiscriminately. If the speaker did have a choice between the two forms, that choice was by no means random, idiosyncratic or arbitrary, but always dictated by the social, relational or attitudinal context of a speech act. Nonetheless, all 20th-century Romanian translations of Romeo and Juliet (and of other Shakespearean plays) – from Haralamb Leca’s rather loose rendering (1907) to Ștefan-Octavian Iosif’s and to Virgil Teodorescu’s more refined versions (1940 and 1984, respectively) – seem to ignore the difference in associative meaning betwee…
