Translation: an Advanced Resource Book
TRANSLATION Routledge Applied Linguistics is a series of comprehensive resource books, providing students and researchers with the support they need for advanced study in the core areas of English language and Applied Linguistics. Each book in the series guides readers through three main sections, enabling them to explore and develop major themes within the discipline: • Section A, Introduction, establishes the key terms and concepts and extends readers’ techniques of analysis through practical application. • Section B, Extension, brings together influential articles, sets them in context, and discusses their contribution to the field. • Section C, Exploration, builds on knowledge gained in the first two sections, setting thoughtful tasks around further illustrative material. This enables readers to engage more actively with the subject matter and encourages them to develop their own research responses. Throughout the book, topics are revisited, extended, interwoven and deconstructed, with the reader’s understanding strengthened by tasks and follow-up questions. Translation: • examines the theory and practice of translation from a variety of linguistic and cultural angles, including semantics, equivalence, functional linguistics, corpus and cognitive linguistics, text and discourse analysis, gender studies and post- colonialism • draws on a wide range of languages, including French, Spanish, German, Russian and Arabic • explores material from a variety of sources, such as the Internet, advertisements, religious texts, literary and technical texts • gathers together influential readings from the key names in the discipline, including James S. Holmes, George Steiner, Jean-Paul Vinay and Jean Darbelnet, Eugene Nida, Werner Koller and Ernst-August Gutt. Written by experienced teachers and researchers in the field, Translation is an essential resource for students and researchers of English language and Applied Linguistics as well as Translation Studies. -

Dimensions of Erewhon: The Modern Orpheus in Guy Davenport's "The Dawn in Erewhon" Abstract In "The Dawn in Erewhon", the concluding novella of Tatlin!, Guy Davenport explores the myth of Orpheus in the context of two storylines: Adriaan van Hovendaal, a thinly veiled version of Ludwig Wittgenstein, and an updated retelling of Samuel Butler's utopian novel Erewhon. Davenport tells the story in a disjunctive style and uses the Orpheus myth as a symbol to refer to a creative sensibility that has been lost in modern technological civilization but is recoverable through art.

This article adopts a position that is uncomfortable, unconventional and interesting. It involves a deterritorialization/ rupture of ethnography in education in order to reterritorialize a different concept: rhizoanalysis, a way to position theory and data that is multi- layered, complex and messy. Rhizoanalysis, the main focus of this article is not a method. It is an approach to research conditioned by a reality in which Deleuze and Guattari disrupt representation, interpretation and subjectivity. In this article, Multiple Literacies Theory, a theoretical and practical framework, becomes a lens to examine a rhizomatic study of a Korean family recently arrived to Australia and attending English as a second language classes. -

I will sketch the contours of an oppositional politics within the figure of Empire (or the American capitalist empire which is almost always transcendental). The binary structure of the movie oscillates between two utterly opposing modalities (deploying high-tech military force against eco-friendly indigenous culture, weapons against trees, killing to healing, earth to space, human to nonhuman-nature, white skin against blue skin, etc.) This dualistic tension seems to create a Neo-Platonic Augustinian confrontation between Good and Evil. -
L'abecedaire De Gilles Deleuze, Avec Claire Parnet
1 L'Abécédaire de Gilles Deleuze, avec Claire Parnet Directed by Pierre-André Boutang (1996) Translation & Notes: Charles J. Stivale Credits (shown at the end of each tape): Conversation: Claire Parnet Direction: Pierre-André Boutang, Michel Pamart Image: Alain Thiollet Sound: Jean Maini Editing: Nedjma Scialom Sound Mix: Vianney Aubé, Rémi Stengel Images from Vincennes: Marielle Burkhalter --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Translated and edited by Charles J. Stivale --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prelude \1 A short description of the trailer and then of the interview "set" is quite useful: the black and white trailer over which the title, then the director’s credit are shown, depicts Deleuze lecturing to a crowded, smoky seminar, his voice barely audible over the musical accompaniment. The subtitle, “Université de Vincennes, 1980,” appears briefly at the lower right, and Deleuze’s desk is packed with tape recorders. A second shot is a close-up of Deleuze chatting with the students seated closest to him. Then another shot shows students in the seminar listening intently, most of them (including a young Claire Parnet in profile) smoking cigarettes. The final shot again shows Deleuze lecturing from his desk at the front of the seminar room, gesticulating as he speaks. The final gesture shows him placing his hand over his chin in a freeze-frame, punctuating the point he has just made. As for the setting in Deleuze’s apartment during the interview, the viewer sees Deleuze seated in front of a sideboard over which hangs a mirror, and opposite him sits Parnet, smoking constantly throughout. On the dresser to the right of the mirror is his trademark hat perched on a hook. -

Assemblages and Actor-Networks: Rethinking Socio-Material Power, Politics and Space
Geography Compass 9/1 (2015): 27–41, 10.1111/gec3.12192 Assemblages and Actor-networks: Rethinking Socio-material Power, Politics and Space Martin Müller* Universität Zürich and University of Birmingham Abstract Assemblage thinking and actor-network theory (ANT) have been at the forefront of a paradigm shift that sees space and agency as the result of associating humans and non-humans to form precarious wholes. This shift offers ways of rethinking the relations between power, politics and space from a more processual, socio-material perspective. After sketching and comparing the concepts of the assemblage and the actor-network, this paper reviews the current scholarship in human geography which clusters around the four themes of deterritorialisation/reterritorialisation; power; materials, objects and technologies; and topological space. Looking towards the future, it suggests that assemblage thinking and ANT would benefit from exploring links with other social theories, arguing for a more sustained engagement with is- sues of language and power, and affect and the body. Assemblages and Actor-networks: New Paradigms? If language, representation and discourse were the pet concepts of the 1990s, assemblage, actor- networks and materiality might well be those of the 2000s. From geography’s preoccupation with meaning in the wake of the cultural turn in the late 1980s, the pendulum has come full circle with a return to a concern for materiality – objects, bodies and matter. Calls for ‘rematerializing geography’ have sounded throughout the sub-disciplines, in political geography (Dittmer 2013a; Meehan et al. 2013; Squire 2014a), feminist geography (Colls 2012; Slocum 2008), urban geography (Lees 2002), social and cultural geography ( Jackson 2000; Whatmore 2006), resource geographies (Bakker and Bridge 2006) or GIScience (Leszczynski 2009). -
Daniel W. Smith
DANIEL W. SMITH “Knowledge of Pure Events” A Note on Deleuze’s Analytic of Concepts What is the relation between philosophical concepts and events? This is a complex problem in Deleuze’s philosophy, leading to a number of complex questions. Deleuze has famously defined philosophy as the creation of concepts, as “knowledge through pure concepts.”1 What is at issue here is not a theory of concepts as such, but the type of knowledge produced by the pure concepts of philosophy. One can certainly think without concepts, Deleuze says, but as soon as there are concepts in this sense, there is philosophy. “So long as there is a time and a place for creating concepts, the operation that undertakes this will always be called philosophy, or will be indistinguishable from philosophy, even if it is called something else.”2 Philosophical concepts, however, are defined by Deleuze in terms of events: “The concept speaks the event, not the essence or the thing.”3 At one level, this definition appeals to the traditional opposition between essences and events or accidents: concepts will henceforth express events and not essences. “For a long time one made use of concepts in order to determine what a thing is (essence). On the contrary, we are interested in the circumstances of the thing: in what case, where and when, how, etc.? For us, the concept must express the event, and no longer essence.”4 Or, as Deleuze writes at one point, “One can conserve the word essence, if one wishes, but only on the condition of saying that essence is precisely the accident or the event.”5 But this manifest distinction between essence and event conceals a more subtle distinction between a pure event and an actualized event: philosophical concepts, says Deleuze, express pure events. -
Reading As Assemblage: Intensive Reading Practices Of
READING AS ASSEMBLAGE: INTENSIVE READING PRACTICES OF ACADEMICS by SHARON MURPHY AUGUSTINE (Under the Direction of Elizabeth Adams St. Pierre) ABSTRACT This interview study investigated academic readers‘ reading practices using Deleuze and Guattari‘s concept assemblage to produce language and images of reading that recognized the complex relations among texts, people, places, ideas, and memories. The following two questions propelled inquiry and analysis: 1) How do reading practices function as a force that assembles complex relations of texts, people, places, ideas, and memories in surprising and productive ways? 2) What alternative reading practices are possible by theorizing reading through these relationships? This inquiry specifically chronicled how the participants in this study used books to do things. Reading was not, therefore, a solitary, passive endeavor, but an active, social engagement in creating their worlds. The production of a list of prescriptive reading practices that others could duplicate was not the goal. Rather, Deleuze and Guattari‘s (1980/1987) assemblage aligned within larger conversations among new criticism, reader response, and socio- cultural theories of reading. Specifically, Sumara‘s (1996) theory of reading worked with the theories of Deleuze and Guattari to describe a wider variety of reading practices than are commonly found in school settings. Participants provided language to describe intensive reading, reading practices that altered subjectivity, and descriptions of surprising reading experiences. Deleuze and Guattari‘s concepts and participants‘ experiences produced descriptions of reading as an active, surprising, and productive practice.
