The Conference is organised within the framework of the PRIN Research Project “Knowledge Dissemination across Media in English: Continuity and Change in Discourse Strategies, Ideologies, and Epistemologies” financed by the Italian Ministry for University and Research in collaboration with the CLAVIER (Corpus and LAnguage Variation In English Research) inter-university research network. While the PRIN research programme in its entirety, involving the Universities of Milan (Università IULM and Università degli Studi), of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Bergamo, Florence, Pisa, and Rome “La Sapienza”, sets out to explore the practices and strategies of knowledge transfer and dissemination to various audiences in a range of different settings and a variety of genres from the viewpoint of linguistics and discourse analysis, the 2018 PRIN/CLAVIER conference focuses on the specific field investigation of the Milan research group, i.e. the ethical and ideological implications of knowledge dissemination (KD), and offers an opportunity for the discussion and exploration of the linguistic and discursive aspects involved. KD necessarily entails the transfer and the transformation of information, which, in turn, produce changes. Such changes represent a fascinating object of study and reflection, as they may be limited to the simple recontextualisation of knowledge (aimed at circulating it and tailoring it to suit specific audiences), but they may also presuppose some degree of tampering. Frequently, in the process of dissemination knowledge is deliberately altered so that it appears more interesting or attractive (e.g. in journalism) to the target public, and/or more aligned with the speaker’s/writer’s stance, preconceptions or expectations. A certain level of misrepresentation can also occur when texts convey more or less explicit ideological messages by presenting knowledge with a particular slant or bias. Outright manipulation and mystification of information may be less common, but still possible. These improper practices are not only restricted to specialised contexts but can be found, even more cogently, in popularising communication. Against this backdrop, the crucial role played by the discursive representation of ideologically and ethically relevant issues emerges clearly both in inter-specialist communication and in popular exposition (Clôitre/Shinn 1985). In particular, the ways in which ‘sensitive’ topics are rhetorically and discursively constructed, for instance in the life sciences (e.g. medicine, bioethics, biotechnology, genetics), in corporate, academic, military discourses etc., can have consequential repercussions on the moral, ideological, legal, economic, political, and religious domains. Ethical issues also emerge in research on specialised discourse. Issues may arise with regard to the potential intrusiveness of the observer in the process under scrutiny and to the validity of the data collected (cf., inter alii, Sykes 1978; Sassoli de Bianchi 2013). Problems are also entailed in the ways in which scholars’ expectations, beliefs or outlooks may possibly affect their choice of the objects of study, practices in data collection and selection, and, finally, the truthfulness and accuracy of phenomenon identification (cf., inter alii, Corben 1999; Chenail 2009). The PRIN/CLAVIER conference provides a forum where all these issues are dealt with and examined under the linguistic and discursive perspective, as well as from the point of view of translation

  • Autonomia Jednostki W Międzynarodowym Prawie
    Agata Wnukiewicz-Kozłowska Wybór tematu recenzowanej monografii należy uznać za wyjątkowo trafny. Aktualność i doniosłość poznawcza podjętej problematyki, a tak- że, co ważne, również jej wartość praktyczna, nie budzą wątpliwości. Syn- tetyczny tytuł pracy jest w pełni adekwatny, dobrze oddaje jej zawartość Agata Wnukiewicz-Kozłowska i główną ideę. [...] Całość rozważań zawartych w monografii koncentruje się na uzasad- nieniu jej głównej tezy o wykształceniu się nowego rodzaju prawa, wywo- Autonomia jednostki w międzynarodowym prawie biomedycznym dzącego się z prawa międzynarodowego publicznego oraz uwzględniają- cego klasyczny kanon praw i wolności jednostki, ale charakteryzującego się istotną odrębnością przedmiotową i specyfiką podmiotową. [...] za- prezentowane w pracy bardzo szerokie uzasadnienie głównej tezy jest wyjątkowo solidne, wszechstronne i przekonywające. Zostało ono oparte Autonomia na imponującym pod względem wielkości i różnorodności materiale ze- branym i wykorzystanym przez Autorkę w toku badań. [...] poza bardzo jednostki licznymi źródłami prawa w ścisłym tego słowa znaczeniu (traktaty, akty w prawa UE, ustawy i inne akty normatywne) w pracy wykorzystano boga- te orzecznictwo sądów międzynarodowych i krajowych, różnego rodzaju międzynarodowym dokumenty, wyniki badań empirycznych, a nawet materiały publicystycz- ne. Autorka dostrzegła i uwzględniła rosnącą, choć ciągle jeszcze niedo- prawie określoną rolę soft law. To bogactwo materiału wykorzystanego w pracy biomedycznym jest jej niewątpliwą zaletą. z recenzji wydawniczej

  • Authorial and Editorial Voices in Translation
    Authorial and Editorial Voices in Translation Wednesday 2nd November 2011 - KUA Auditorium 23.0.49 Michelle Woods: Sense and Censorship: Authors and the Agents of Change In 1969, Milan Kundera sent an angry public denunciation of his English publishers to the Times Literary Supplement, comparing them to the "Moscow censors" who had delayed the publication of his first novel, The Joke, for two years, and who would ban all his work in Czechoslovakia in 1970. Kundera suggested that the substantial cuts to the text, and reworking of the novel's chronology, amounted to a form of market censorship by the editors and publisher. Kundera is well-known for his antipathy to translators, but in fact much of his ire focused on the editing of his translations, performed by people with no knowledge of the language or culture behind his work, and whose bottom line rested on selling a commercially viable product. To what extent can the work of those handling translations - editors, publishers, directors, producers - become a form of censorship? Is is possible, or even helpful, to speak of censorship when looking at the work done to translations, once the actual translation work has been completed? What kind of changes are made to translations before they are published or performed? Is there an ideological context behind those changes even in free and democratic societies? Are form and style a battleground in an increasingly homogenous notion of what good, commercially viable writing is? In this paper, I want to use the examples of two Czech writers: Milan Kundera and Václav Havel, to examine the pressures placed on translators and writers by those other agents (or, as Maria Tymoczko writes, "external constraints").

    Lady Stephenson Library [email protected] Cambridge Scholars Publishing is registered Newcastle upon Tyne www.cambridgescholars.com in the United Kingdom. NE6 2PA Companies House United Kingdom Fax +44 (0)191 265 2056 Reg. Number: 4333775. VAT Number: 108280727. Shakespeare 2021: The Modernity of his Poetry and Prose in our Current Age Collection Editor: Menotti Lerro Description Some authors are definitely immortals. When we think about them, we often suppose that everything has already been said. This is false. Each author needs to be read and discussed again and again in every new historical period. For this reason it is interesting to look at William Shakespeare’s poetry and prose from a modern perspective. In this volume, new scholars demonstrate the importance of re-approaching one of the most influential authors who ever existed, from the point-of-view of bright, contemporary theories. About the Editor Menotti Lerro taught English Literature and English Culture and Civilization at the University of Linguistic Mediation (Unimed) of Milan, Italy, and gave lessons at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, IULM University of Milan and the University of Reading, UK. He received a Master of Arts from the University of Reading in 2007, and a PhD from the University of Salerno, Italy. Author of about 30 volumes of literature, in 2016 he was awarded with a “Special Mention” in the three selected authors for literature for the Italian National Prize “100 Italian excellences”.

  • European Commission
    EVROPSKA KOMISIJA SPOROČILO ZA MEDIJE Bruselj, 2. junija 2014 60 univerz prejelo znak „evropski magistrski študij prevajanja“ Evropska komisija je objavila seznam univerz, ki jim bo podelila znak kakovosti „evropski magistrski študij prevajanja“ (EMT). Znak EMT, ki se podeljuje najboljšim magistrskim študijem prevajanja, bo prejelo več kot 60 institucij iz 21 držav članic. Glavni namen EMT je izboljšati usposabljanje prevajalcev ter pritegniti najboljše prevajalce za delo v evropskih institucijah. Izbrane univerze se lahko za naslednjih pet let vključijo v mrežo EMT, prejmejo pa tudi sredstva za udeležbo predavateljev na letni konferenci in seminarjih mreže. „Evropski magistrski študij prevajanja je referenca kakovosti na področju usposabljanja prevajalcev,“ je dejala evropska komisarka za izobraževanje, kulturo, večjezičnost in mlade Androulla Vassiliou. „Deluje kot platforma za izmenjavo dobrih praks in sodelovanje z univerzami in jezikovno industrijo. Kakovostno usposabljanje v visokem šolstvu je osnova za prevajalske storitve, ki jih zagotavljajo evropske institucije.“ EMT spodbuja izmenjavo najboljših praks med univerzami, izboljšanje standardov poučevanja, učne načrte, ki upoštevajo potrebe trga za izboljšanje zaposljivosti diplomantov, ter oblikovanje pravega evropskega trga dela za kvalificirane prevajalce. Komisija je za znak EMT prejela 114 vlog iz 25 držav članic EU in 3 drugih držav. Vloge so na podlagi strogih meril ocenili akademski strokovnjaki. Izbrali so študijske programe z 62 univerz v 21 državah članicah, dva programa iz Švice pa sta dobila status opazovalca. Število poslanih vlog odraža vse večjo priljubljenost projekta med univerzami. Na razpisu leta 2010 je Komisija prejela 93 vlog, izbranih pa je bilo 54 programov. Naslednji razpis je predviden za konec leta 2019. Ozadje Evropski magistrski študij prevajanja (EMT) je partnerski projekt med Evropsko komisijo in visokošolskimi institucijami, ki ponujajo magistrski študij prevajanja.
