As a result, he disparaged art and beauty that they were depended with world of phenomena and senses. He considered idea’s position in the sphere of institute and episteme and placed sensorial case, "Doxa" and "Eikon" as base of art that from his point of view is not world of "to be" and "not to be", but its world of representation and as a result he interpreted art world and it’s product as a false phenomena. He claimed that art relates with revealed component of ego that causes irreparable ruin for human being and has relationship with "Episteme". In the other hand, Aristotle unlike Plato believed in art and existence originality and considered art as a result of human’s episteme and rationality. He introduced adequacy, cognition natural talent as three principle of art. He claimed art and science deal with episteme and knowledge and they are common at the end. But what is Plato and Aristotle disagreement in sphere of art and from where it originates? And which cases are not similar in the sphere of art? The following essay will explain Plato and Aristotle’s art philosophy and comparing and explaining their ideas with relating existence originality and essence originality.

  • How the Autofictional Blog Transforms Arabic Literature*
    When Writers Activate Readers How the autofictional blog transforms Arabic literature* TERESA PEPE (University of Oslo) Abstract The adoption of Internet technology in Egypt has led to the emergence a new literary genre, the ‘autofic- tional blog’. This paper explores how this genre relates to the Arabic understanding of literature, using as examples a number of Egyptian autofictional blogs written between 2005 and 2011. The article shows that the autofictional blog transforms ʾadab into an interactive game to be played among authors and readers, away from the gatekeepers of the literary institutions, such as literary critics and publishers. In this game the author adopts a hybrid genre and mixed styles of Arabic and challenges the readers to take an active role in discovering the identity hidden behind the screen and making their way into the text. The readers, in return, feel entitled to change and contribute to the text in a variety of ways. Key words: autofictional blog; ʾadab; modern Arabic literature; Egypt The adoption of the Internet has favoured the proliferation of new forms of autobiographi- cal writing and literary creativity all over the world. Blogs1 in particular are used by Inter- net users worldwide to record and share their writing. The popularity of the blogging phenomenon and the original features of blog texts have also attracted the interest of international scholars. More specifically, a particular kind of blog defined as the “personal blog”, which consists of “a blog written by an individual and focusing on his or her personal life” (WALKER 2005), has spurred a significant debate. Most academics agree that the personal blog should be considered a form of diary (LEJEUNE 2000, MCNEILL 2003), thus inserting it in the category of (auto-)biographical writing.

  • TRANSLATION PROCEDURES in Contrast to Translation Strategies
    TRANSLATION PROCEDURES In contrast to translation strategies (the translators’ global approach or plan of action on a given text, according to their intention), translation procedures are used for sentences and smaller units of language within that text. Translation procedures are methods applied by translators when they formulate an equivalence for the purpose of transferring elements of meaning from the Source Text (ST) to the Target Text (TT). (Delisle) Vinay and Darbelnet first proposed seven methods or procedures (loan, calque. literal translation, transposition, modulation, equivalence, adaptation) in 1973. More than one procedure can be seen in one translation, and some translations may result from a cluster of procedures that is difficult to discern Source: Peter Newmark, A Textbook of Translation New York: Prentice Hall, 1988) 69, 81-93; Jean-Paul Vinay and J. Darbelnet, Stylistique comparée du français et de l’anglais (Paris: Didier, 1973); Jean Delisle et al., ed. Translation Terminology. Amsterdam and Philadelphia: John Benjamins, 1999. Terms between angular brackets <> are those in which Delisle differs from Newmark. When the Spanish term has a form dissimilar to the English one, it appears between inverted commas “”.

  • How to Translate Culture-Specific Items: a Case Study of Tourist
    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 21 – January 2014 How to translate culture-specific items: a case study of tourist promotion campaign by Turespaña Isabel Cómitre Narváez, University of Málaga José María Valverde Zambrana, University of Málaga ABSTRACT One of the greatest challenges for the translator is the rendering of culture-specific items ─ traditionally regarded as a potential source of untranslatability. Many scholars have discussed this issue and different approaches have been described within the discipline of Translation Studies. The paper focuses on the translation of culture-specific items in tourist promotion campaigns, demonstrating how these items call for specific translation treatment. The material for analysis has been sourced directly from the Instituto de Turismo de España (Turespaña), the Spanish Tourist Board, and specifically the international tourist promotion campaign, Spain marks, where culture-specific items are used as a sales argument to promote Spain worldwide as a tourist destination. In the present study, we will review the literature concerning cultural aspects within the framework of Translation Studies. Then, we will examine the procedures for translating culture-specific items in the Spanish source texts and their corresponding English versions of the campaign. A short survey will shed light on the success of the Spain marks campaign. The paper concludes with some remarks about the role of the translator in the field of tourist promotion campaigns. KEYWORDS Tourist promotion campaign, culture-specific items, translation procedures. 1. Introduction In the increasingly cross-cultural world we live in, translators and interpreters are seen as mediators between cultures. In this mediation task, they are likely to come across words that have a specific meaning in each culture so that biculturalism is an important asset for translators (Nord, 1991).

  • Narrations of Ambiguity: Contemporary
    NARRATIONS OF AMBIGUITY: CONTEMPORARY CHALLENGES TO TRADITIONAL NARRATIVE THEORY by MATTHEW TODD WOMBLE Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of The University of Texas at Arlington in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT ARLINGTON May 2015 Copyright © by Matthew Todd Womble 2015 All Rights Reserved ii Acknowledgements I want to acknowledge the invaluable help and guidance I received from my supervising committee. I am indebted to my chair, Dr. Jim Warren, for multiple reasons, not the least of which is his willingness three years ago to work with a literature student like me. His guidance during my year of comprehensive exams steered me to the topics I take up in this dissertation, and our ongoing conversations have continually helped frame my analyses. I am similarly thankful of Drs. Tim Morris and Ken Roemer for their astute feedback and seemingly never-ending breadth of knowledge. Without their time and effort, this dissertation would be lacking in terms of scope, depth, and diversity of texts. On a personal level, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to have worked with each of these three professors and to have had the chance to “pick their brains” over the last two years. They are each experts in their own respective fields, and my own scholarship undoubtedly benefits from their expertise and their guidance. I would also like to say thanks to Half Price Books (Flagship Location, Northwest Highway, Dallas), whose large reading room served as the setting for much of the writing below; to the Avett Brothers, Local Natives, and Tennis, whose music served as the soundtrack to my daily writing; and to Diet Coke, without which none of this could have been accomplished.

This work is licensed under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 License A typological analysis of calque in Romanian maritime terminology Corina Sandiuc1 1”Mircea cel Batrân” Naval Academy, 1 Fulgerului Street, Constanţa, Romania Abstract. The linguistic contact between French and Romanian had major effects on the formation of the Romanian maritime terminology. There are three major ways in which this linguistic influence took place: the loan, the calque (loan translation) and the translation. The purpose of the present paper is to draw a typology of calque, taking as reference the classification and the theory expressed by the Romanian linguist Theodor Hristea. Our analysis will cover only certain types of calques because the structure of the Romanian maritime terminology is necessarily limited to some recurrent categories, such as: lexical calque, semantic calque, phraseological calque (idiomatic and non-idiomatic) and grammatical calque. It appears that most of the linguistic calques existing in the Romanian maritime vocabulary are lexical in nature. Moreover, the semantic calque has provided us with one of the richest sources of linguistic material, especially since the calque also deals with the cases of metaphorization, metonymy, synecdoche, and manifests itself in parallel with the passage from one register to another of a maritime term.
