Rewriting Humour in Comic Books: Cultural Transfer and Translation of Aristophanic Adaptations (Palgrave Studies in Translating and Interpreting)
by Dimitris AsimakoulasThis book examines comic book adaptations of Aristophanes’ plays in order to shed light on how and why humour travels across cultures and time. Forging links between modern languages, translation and the study of comics, it analyses the Greek originals and their English translations and offers a unique, language-led research agenda for cultural flows, and the systematic analysis of textual norms in a multimodal environment. It will appeal to students and scholars of Modern Languages, Translation Studies, Comics Studies, Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature.
Richardson and the Philosophes
by James FowlerIn mid-eighteenth-century Europe, a taste for sentiment accompanied the 'rise of the novel', and the success of Samuel Richardson (1689-1761) played a vital role in this. James Fowler's new study is the first to compare the response of the most famous philosophes to the Richardson phenomenon. Voltaire, who claims to despise the novel, writes four 'Richardsonian' fictions; Diderot's fascination with the English author is expressed in La Religieuse, Rousseau's in Julie - the century's bestseller. Yet the philosophes' response remains ambivalent. On the one hand they admire Richardson's ability to make the reader weep. On the other, they champion a range of Enlightenment beliefs which he, an enthusiast of Milton, vehemently opposed. In death as in life, the English author exacerbates the philosophes' rivalry. The eulogy which Diderot writes in 1761 implicitly asks: who can write a new Clarissa? But also: whose social, philosophical or political ideas will triumph as a result?

Rights to Language: Equity, Power, and Education
by Robert PhillipsonRights to Language: Equity, Power, and Education brings together cutting-edge scholarship in language, education, and society from all parts of the world. Celebrating the 60th birthday of Tove Skutnabb-Kangas, it is inspired by her work in minority, indigenous, and immigrant education; multilingualism; linguistic human rights; and global language and power issues. Rights to Language situates issues of minorities and bilingual education in broader perspectives of human rights, power, and the ecology of language. The rich mix of papers serves to underline that the issues are comparable worldwide, that many disparate topics can cross-fertilize each other, and that our understanding of the issues can benefit from coverage that is global, reflective, and committed.

Rivalidad - Una historia de Cenicienta
by Sonya Writes Marta S. NovoaIn this book you will find two novellas in English paired with their Spanish translations. Due to the nature of translating and the differences between languages, the translations will not be an exact match to each other. Sometimes the wording between the two languages will be very similar, but in other places the wording will be quite different. You can use this book as a learning tool to comparatively study English and Spanish, learning from both the differences and the similarities. One way to use this book is to take different colored pencils to circle verbs or underline nouns and compare each paragraph to its counterpart. Where words and sentences are not an exact translation to each other, you can write notes and definitions on the lines provided in the margins to further your learning experience. The stories contained in this volume are Liberty – a Rapunzel story and Rivalry – a Cinderella story. Dos novelas en una y sus traducciones al español (castellano). En este libro encontrarás dos novelas en inglés emparejadas con sus traducciones al español (castellano). Debido a la naturaleza de la traducción y a las diferencias entre los idiomas, las traducciones no serán una coincidencia exacta entre sí. A veces la redacción entre los dos idiomas será muy similar, pero en otros lugares la redacción será muy diferente. Puedes utilizar este libro como una herramienta de aprendizaje para estudiar comparativamente el inglés y el español (castellano), aprendiendo tanto de las diferencias como de las similitudes. Una forma de usar este libro es tomar lápices de colores diferentes para circundar los verbos o subrayar sustantivos y comparar cada párrafo con su contraparte. Ya que las palabras y las frases no son una traducción exacta entre sí, puedes escribir notas y definiciones en las líneas proporcionadas en los márgenes para aumentar tu experiencia de aprendizaje.

Romance Languages
by Ti Alkire Carol RosenTi Alkire and Carol Rosen trace the changes that led from colloquial Latin to five major Romance languages, those which ultimately became national or transnational languages: Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Romanian. Trends in spoken Latin altered or dismantled older categories in phonology and morphology, while the regional varieties of speech, evolving under diverse influences, formed new grammatical patterns, each creating its own internal regularities. Documentary sources for spoken Latin show the beginnings of this process, which comes to full fruition in the medieval emergence of written Romance languages. This book newly distills the facts into an appealing program of study, including exercises, and makes the difficult issues clear, taking well motivated and sometimes innovative stands. It provides not only an essential guide for those new to the topic, but also a reliable compendium for the specialist.

by Michael N. Forster Lina SteinerThis book offers a broad re-evaluation of the key ideas developed by the German Romantics concerning philosophy and literature. It focuses not only on their own work, but also on that of their fellow travelers (such as Hölderlin) and their contemporary opponents (such as Hegel), as well as on various reactions to and transpositions of their ideas in later authors, including Coleridge, Byron, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, and Dostoevsky.
Rome Eternal: The City as Fatherland
by Guy LanoueWhat does 'Roman' mean? How does the mythical city touch people's identities, values and attitudes? In the long-established and official imaginary of the West, Rome is the citta dell'arte, the city of faith, an heirloom city inspired by the traces of ancient Empire, by the brooding aura of the Church, by Hollywood fairy-tale romance, and by the spicy tang of veiled decadence. But what of its contemporary residents? Are they now merely guides and waiters servicing throngs of tourists indifferent to the city's contemporary charms? Guy Lanoue, a former resident of Rome, explores how Romans live the modern myth of Rome Eternal. Since the 19th century, it has defined an important community, the fatherland, a home-spun society where the rules of everyday life become 'tradition': ways of eating, dressing, making and keeping friends and acquaintances, 'proper' ways of speaking and a hard to define but nonetheless tangible air of composure. Guy Lanoue is a Professor of Anthropology at the Universite de Montreal.
Rooted in Strength: Using Translanguaging to Grow Multilingual Readers and Writers
by Laura Ascezni-Moreno Cecilia EspinozaEspinosa and Ascenzi-Moreno demonstrate how our emergent bilingual students who speak two or more languages in their daily lives― thrive when they are able to use “translanguaging” to tap the power of their entire linguistic and sociocultural repertoires. <p><p>Additionally, the authors present rich and thoughtful literacy practices that propel emergent bilinguals into reading and writing success. The core of this approach is honoring and leveraging the language and cultural resources emergent bilinguals bring to school― and rooting instruction in their strengths. Knowing more than one language is, indeed, a gift to the classroom! Includes a foreword by Ofelia Garcia.
