If we take into account the sheer volume of this production since the early 1960s, it becomes clear that, though academically neglected, these translations have been an important part of the reading material for generations of Croatian readers. One specific aspect of the source-target text interface is especially interesting here: the ways elements that indicate the embeddedness of the source texts in the culture of their origin, which we call culture-specific items (CSIs), are handled in translation. The aim of the present study is to identify tendencies in the rendering of culture- specific items in Croatian translations from English, and to correlate them with developments in the broader context in which the translations were produced. To this end, the study sets out to test the following hypotheses: “Translations of detective fiction from English into Croatian show a growing tendency to employ assimilative solution types in the rendering of CSIs.” and “The greater the presence of source-culture texts of a similar type in the target culture, the stronger the tendencies to employ assimilating solutions to render CSIs.” In the first hypothesis we predict that a growing preference for assimilating solution types will be observed in the translations of detective fiction from English to Croatian over a period of time. In the second hypothesis, we predict the links between the expected tendency to use assimilating solution types and a particular contextual variable – the intensity of translation flows. In addition to translation flows, we have investigated the main features of the publishing industry in the three selected periods assuming that the industry is the immediate social context of the translation activity. The basic design of this research consists of research into textual and extra-textual variables, with a view to synthesizing our findings in the conclusion. The research into the textual variable – the rendering of culture-specific items – is conducted on a corpus of source and target detective fiction texts produced in three different periods: the early 1960s (Period 1), the late 1970s (Period 2) and the 2000s (Period 3). We have decided to focus on the particular popular fiction genre in order to minimize variables that might stem from the UNIVERSITAT ROVIRA I VIRGILI CULTURAL SPECIFICITY IN THE TRANSLATION OF POPULAR FICTION FROM ENGLISH INTO CROATIAN DURING THE SOCIALIST AND TRANSITION PERIODS (1960-2010) Snjezana Veselica Majhut Dipòsit Legal: T.1291-2012 genre features. For practical reasons, the corpus consists of the translations of Agatha Christie novels. The quantitative data obtained from the textual analysis are put together with data obtained from interviews with the main agents: translators and editors. The investigation of the contextual variables includes research into translation flows between English and Croatian in the three periods, and the collection of data on the publishing industry that provide the immediate production context of the target texts. In the concluding part, aware that the design of the corpus limits the ability to generalize, we discuss all these findings with the aim of establishing tentative correlations between the data from the textual analysis, the interview data and the extra-textual data on the contextual variables. This enables us to generate new general hypotheses that might be departing points for future research. 5 UNIVERSITAT ROVIRA I VIRGILI CULTURAL SPECIFICITY IN THE TRANSLATION OF POPULAR FICTION FROM ENGLISH INTO CROATIAN DURING THE SOCIALIST AND TRANSITION PERIODS (1960-2010) Snjezana Veselica Majhut Dipòsit Legal: T.1291-2012 Certificate of supervision Professor Anthony Pym URV.

  • A Cross-Generational Inquiry
    Historical Remembering and Attitudes Towards the “Other”: A Cross-generational Inquiry A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at George Mason University By Silvia Šušnjić Master of Arts Columbia University, 2004 Director: Dennis J.D. Sandole, Professor Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution Spring Semester 2010 George Mason University Fairfax, VA Copyright 2010 Silvia Šušnjić All Rights Reserved ii DEDICATION This is dedicated to my family, friends, mentors and the people of the former Yugoslavia. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS There were countless times throughout my studies that I thought of the following questions: What makes people view “Others” as evil? What kind of memories and attitudes are prevalent in defining the “Other” as evil? These questions were especially relevant in the context of the former-Yugoslavia where almost instantaneously neighbors became strangers, friends became enemies and once “good” people were now labeled as “evil” because of their accent, the names they had, or the looks they portrayed. Simple gestures, the way one spoke, even the way one displayed the number three could have at one point been grounds for harassment. This study aims to discover the reasons why certain individuals were and others were not affected by the socio-political and historic constructs created to define “other” individuals as enemies. My outmost appreciation for this project goes to my Committee Chair Dr. Dennis J.D. Sandole, who devoted much of his time to guide me throughout this project. Dr. Sandole helped me shape my dissertation ideas and always encouraged me to think outside the box in order to come up with the next “great” idea.

  • Party Outcomes in Hybrid Regimes in the Western Balkans and Beyond
    Party Outcomes in Hybrid Regimes in the Western Balkans and Beyond By Ivan Vuković Submitted to Central European University Department of Political Science In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Supervisor: Professor Zsolt Enyedi Budapest, May 2014 Abstract Most political parties that had been ruling in hybrid regimes lost power as these regimes ceased to exist i.e. democratized. Yet, some of these parties remained politically dominant notwithstanding the regime change. This PhD thesis aims to offer a plausible explanation of their different political fates (here defined as party outcomes). Its main focus is on the incumbent parties in hybrid regimes that existed in Serbia, Croatia, and Montenegro during the last decade of the 20th century. In addition, the thesis looks at a larger population of similar cases with the ambition to contribute to a better general understanding of the diverging party outcomes. The thesis puts forward a theoretically innovative model explaining the party outcomes, founded upon the two assumptions: (1) the diverging fates of dominant parties in hybrid regimes are determined by these parties’ (lack of) institutionalization; (2) (the lack of) their institutionalization is determined by the salience of the national question in the process of political mobilization leading to the regime establishment. Process tracing method is employed to test the presence in the three cases under observation of the thus constructed causal mechanism linking the hypothesized conditions (nationalist mobilization and the lack of party institutionalization) and party outcome (the loss of power). The theoretical relevance of the results of the analysis, supported by numerous causal process observations (including, among others, 27 in-depth interviews), is subsequently assessed within a broader empirical domain.

  • The Formation of Croatian National Identity
    bellamy [22.5].jkt 21/8/03 4:43 pm Page 1 Europeinchange E K T C The formation of Croatian national identity ✭ This volume assesses the formation of Croatian national identity in the 1990s. It develops a novel framework that calls both primordialist and modernist approaches to nationalism and national identity into question before applying that framework to Croatia. In doing so it not only provides a new way of thinking about how national identity is formed and why it is so important but also closely examines 1990s Croatia in a unique way. An explanation of how Croatian national identity was formed in an abstract way by a historical narrative that traces centuries of yearning for a national state is given. The book goes on to show how the government, opposition parties, dissident intellectuals and diaspora change change groups offered alternative accounts of this narrative in order to The formation legitimise contemporary political programmes based on different visions of national identity. It then looks at how these debates were in manifested in social activities as diverse as football and religion, in of Croatian economics and language. ✭ This volume marks an important contribution to both the way we national identity bellamy study nationalism and national identity and our understanding of post-Yugoslav politics and society.

  • The Nation in Social Practice I Economy, Football and Istria
    5 The nation in social practice I Economy, football and Istria The following two chapters assess the way that the disputes about the meaning of Croatian national identity in the 1990s (discussed in the previous chapter) were manifested in a variety of social practices. This third level of abstraction is concerned with how competing conceptions of national identity (Chapter 4) that make use of abstract frames (Chapter 3) are manifested and embedded in social practice and in identifying sites of resistance to the national ‘common sense’. The six brief studies contained here reveal the nation to be a terrain of political competition in which the state is but one, albeit powerful and well resourced, protagonist. Such disputes take place not only among political and intellectual elites but also within a diverse range of social practices. The focus here then is on how interpretations of the historical statehood narrative are manifested in the identities that inform social practices. These chapters ask how competing ideas about Croatian national identity are manifested in different areas of social activity by considering the resonance and reinterpretation of abstract ideas in six areas of social activity. In each of these areas the ‘nationalising state’ attempted to enforce the Franjoist conception of national identity articulated in the previous chapter. However, there were also radical reformulations of nation identity manifested in social practice. Although the government was successful in enforcing its own account of national identity in some areas, such as the education system, alternative accounts flourished in others, such as sections of the economy and the senior hierarchy of the Catholic Church.

  • Transition in Croatia
    979 POSEBNI PRILOG Yoji Koyama* TRANSITION IN CROATIA Neke napomene uz rad Yoji Koyame transition in Croatia Nema nijedne zemlje u tranziciji koja ima tako dugu bogatu reformsku i tr- žišnu tradiciju kao Hrvatska i Slovenija. To, razumije se, vrijedi i za druge zemlje nastale razdruživanjem bivše Jugoslavije. Zato se na međunarodnoj znanstvenoj i političkoj sceni očekivalo da će upravo te zemlje biti na čelu tranzicijske kolone upravo onako kao što su dugi niz godina bile na čelu reformske kolone. Eksplo- zija balkanskog nacionalizma onemogućila je takva očekivanja. Izuzetak je samo Slovenija koja je i dalje ostala na čelu kolone. Međutim i bez obzira na tako neočekivani stjecaj događanja brojni ekonomisti znanstvenici posvećuju daleko veću pozornost našim reformskim i tranzicijskim dostignućima nego mi sami. Da ne spominjem brojne radove iz dulje povijesne retrospektive, spomenut ću samo dvije najnovije knjige. Prvu je prošle godine u SAD objavio David Prychitko pod naslovom “Markets, Planning and Democracy, New Thinking in Political Economy”. Drugu knjigu je ove godine u Japanu objavio poznati japanski ekonomist Yoji Koyama koji se dugo godina bavi sa kompara- tivnim studijama. Knjiga je objavljena pod naslovom “South Eastern Europe in Transition”. Najvećim dijelom je posvećena događanjima u zemljama nastalim na prostorima bivše Jugoslavije. U ovoj se knjizi daje široki pogled na reformska i tranzicijska događanja u biv- šoj državi. Citiraju se brojni autori koji su tijekom mnogih godina radili na reformi i tranziciji. Ova knjiga predstavlja jedan od najcjelovitijih pogleda stranog autora koji se dugi niz godina komparativno bavi reformskim i tranzicijskim događanjima * Y. Koyama, profesor na Ekonomskom fakultetu Sveučilišta Niigata, Japan.

  • CORRUPTION and ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: the CASE of CROATIA Abstract Key Words: Corruption, Economic Development, Croatia, Public P
    CORRUPTION AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: THE CASE OF CROATIA 4 Abstract Many surveys have conclusively shown that countries with higher and more widespread corruption tend to have slower economic development and lower growth income per capita. Corruption is the most important obstacle to exiting the vicious circle of poverty, economic inequality, illiteracy and ineffective investment. Countries with much corruption badly use or altogether neglect their available human and natural resources. Corruption is a serious threat to foreign direct investments, and significantly contributes to political instability and widespread disbelief in governmental institutions and state bodies. Corruption jeopardizes public revenues and endangers existing social belief or enables its creation. Unclear and often changing laws that provide public officials with huge discretionary powers are fertile preconditions for widespread corruption. This causes insecurity in business activities, encourages suboptimal decisions and makes impossible, or at least hinders, the realization of economic development and poverty reduction. Widespread corruption and the intermingling of government and organized crime are especially dangerous in transitional countries, where the privatizing process includes huge assets that are the result of work of many previous generations. The goal of this paper is to extend this analysis by further exploring the institutional settings and practical experiences of policies towards combatting corruption and tax evasion in Croatia. The overall purpose of this analysis is to understand the complex mechanism underlying the persistence causes of corruption, since a clear understanding of the mechanism will enable assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of current anti-corruption measures in Croatia. In general, when people consider the government corrupt and believe that the country is headed in the wrong direction this negatively effects social solidarity as expressed in trust in others, and reduces trust in the bodies and decisions of the authorities.
