Vernacular Translation in Dante's Italy: Illiterate Literature
by Alison CornishTranslation and commentary are often associated with institutions and patronage; but in Italy around the time of Dante, widespread vernacular translation was mostly on the spontaneous initiative of individuals. While Dante is usually the starting point for histories of vernacular translation in Europe, this book demonstrates that The Divine Comedy places itself in opposition to a vast vernacular literature already in circulation among its readers. Alison Cornish explores the anxiety of vernacularization as expressed by translators and contemporary authors, the prevalence of translation in religious experience, the role of scribal mediation, the influence of the Italian reception of French literature on that literature, and how translating into the vernacular became a project of nation-building only after its virtual demise during the Humanist period. Vernacular translation was a phenomenon with which all authors in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century Europe - from Brunetto Latini to Giovanni Boccaccio - had to contend.
Vernacular Voices: The Rhetoric of Publics and Public Spheres (Studies in Rhetoric & Communication)
by Gerard A. Hauser Phaedra C. PezzulloA foundational text of twenty-first-century rhetorical studies, Vernacular Voices addresses the role of citizen voices in steering a democracy through an examination of the rhetoric of publics. Gerard A. Hauser maintains that the interaction between everyday and official discourse discloses how active members of a complex society discover and clarify their shared interests and engage in exchanges that shape their opinions on issues of common interest. <p><p> In the two decades since Vernacular Voices was first published, much has changed: in the aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, US presidents have increasingly taken unilateral power to act; the internet and new media have blossomed; and globalization has raised challenges to the autonomy of nation states. In a new preface, Hauser shows how, in an era of shared, global crises, we understand publics, how public spheres form and function, and the possibilities for vernacular expressions of public opinion lie at the core of lived democracy. A foreword is provided by Phaedra C. Pezzullo, associate professor of communication at the University of Colorado Boulder.

Vertrauen in Public Relations
by Olaf HoffjannPR ist für viele längst zum Inbegriff der scheinheiligen Lüge geworden. Zu Recht - wie die Greenwashing-Strategien von Energiekonzernen eindrucksvoll zu belegen scheinen. Oder tut man ihr doch Unrecht? Denn wie soll PR in einer Kontingenzgesellschaft noch Wahrhaftigkeit und Redlichkeit beweisen können? Dieses Spannungsfeld steht im Mittelpunkt des Buches: Im ersten Teil werden Vertrauen bzw. Vertrauenswürdigkeit als zentrale Kategorien der PR herausgearbeitet. Worin besteht das Vertrauen in PR? Wie wird Vertrauen in PR begründet? Im zweiten Teil wird untersucht, wie PR das Problem der Vertrauenswürdigkeit zwischen Lüge und Wahrhaftigkeit sowie zwischen egoistischem und selbstlosem Verhalten zu lösen versucht. Auf einer systemtheoretischen und non-dualistischen Basis wird eine Gratwanderung unternommen: Es soll weder ein Whitewashing noch eine Verdammung der PR betrieben werden. Und doch wird am Ende des Buches immer deutlicher, wie schwierig es für den "Ehrlichen" ist, die Öffentlichkeit von seiner Redlichkeit zu überzeugen - und welche Chancen genau darin für die "Unehrlichen" liegen.

A Very Nice Rejection Letter: Diary of a Novelist
by Chris Paling'Like all good diarists Paling's musings are funny, tender and uncensored' Sunday Times6 April 2007Writing income for the year so far: minus £300'I feel that this might just be the year in which something happens. Then again it might not. But hope drives all writers on.'It's unlikely that you'll know Chris Paling's face or have heard his name. This is his diary of trying to make a living as a writer, through the typical career trajectory of what is deemed a 'mid-list novelist'. Publishing rule 6: there is no such thing as a 'low-list' novelist.In renumeration terms, writing is a career that often ends in disappointment and despair, and occasionally disgrace. Paling artfully explores what compels him and so many others to write - the battling joys and agonies of when that compulsion beds itself in one's psyche, and a day without writing is a day wasted. A fascinating insight into the writing process, he tracks the need to write something new, or something old in a new way, something relevant, something that needs to be written when very little actually does, in search of that ever-elusive goal of being 'in print'.By turns moving, wry and brutally honest, A Very Nice Rejection Letter unveils the rewarding yet soul-baring life of a novelist. At its heart is a love letter to the art of writing but this delightful book is also a profound reflection on the forces that drive us all.

Vico in the Tradition of Rhetoric
by Michael MooneyIf among the many truths of Giambattista Vico's New Science there is one that is deepest, it is the truth that language, mind, and society are but three modes of a common reality. In Vico's term, that reality is the monde civile, the world of man. It is a world of many guises and faces. If reflected in a mirror, those faces would reveal an image of the full array of contemporary arts and sciences, all the disciplines of learning and technique by which, so Vico judged, humanity attains its perfection. Humanity in its perfection, however, is so rare a moment, so delicate and subtle a state, that it is never to be found among the nations of the world -- or is found in so fragile a form that it threatens always to crack and fall to the ground. In the West, a persistent line of thinking that has flourished from time to time holds that language is primary in culture, metaphor a necessity, and jurisprudence our highest achievement. This was the position of Vico, who not only received and cherished the tradition, but looked deeply into it, saw what its principles implied, and so made ready for the great social theorists of the nineteenth century. That is the thesis of this work. After an introductory chapter on Vico himself -- in which his intellectual world and his movements within it are sketched -- the work unfolds in three parts. These parts successively treat rhetoric, pedagogy, and culture, each proceeding from a major Vichian text.
Victoria Welby and the Science of Signs: Significs, Semiotics, Philosophy of Language
by Susan PetrilliVictoria Welby (1837–1912) dedicated her research to the relationship between signs and values. She exchanged ideas with important exponents of the language and sign sciences, such as Charles S. Peirce and Charles S. Ogden. She examined themes she believed crucially important both in the use of signs and in reflection on signs. But Welby's research can also be understood in ideal dialogue with authors she could never have met in real life, such as Mikhail Bakhtin, Susanne Langer, and Genevieve Vaughan.Welby contends that signifying cannot be constrained to any one system, type of sign, language, field of discourse, or area of experience. On the contrary, it is ever more developed, enhanced, and rigorous, the more it develops across different fields, disciplines, and areas of experience. For example, to understand meaning, Welby evidences the advantage of translating it into another word even from the same language or resorting to metaphor to express what would otherwise be difficult to conceive.Welby aims for full awareness of the expressive potential of signifying resources. Her reflections make an important contribution to problems connected with communication, expression, interpretation, translation, and creativity.

La vida toda: Antología del nuevo periodismo estadounidense
by Alma GuillermoprietoUna incursión imprescindible en la crónica moderna estadounidense de la mano de Alma Guillermoprieto, premio Princesa de Asturias. Esta antología recoge trece textos largos de no ficción, de los cuales doce son reportajes de largo aliento publicados en el siglo XXI. Seis fueron escritos por mujeres. Todos salieron a la luz después de dos eventos que marcaron su inicio: el holocausto de las Torres Gemelas en Nueva York el 11 de septiembre de 2001 y la aparición de esas fuerzas incorpóreas conocidas como redes sociales. Esta realidad tal vez explique la cantidad de textos que incluí sin darme cuenta que hablan de manera oblicua o directa de la muerte. Por otro lado, la preponderancia de reportajes extranjeros refleja una preferencia mía, pero también habla de un mundo post 11S, post Atocha, post Bombay. El mundo ahora es uno, unido por el terror. Pero también, es obvio, por el cambio climático y las pandemias, la migración y nuestro consiguiente cosmopolitismo, la abolición de las distancias en el universo virtual, el Zoom, y una obsesión por viajar que ya se veía venir en el siglo pasado pero que hoy adquiere síntomas de fiebre. Hay que conocer el mundo antes de que se acabe. Esta selección no representa a los doce mayores narradores de no ficción de nuestros tiempos: no existe ese criterio ya, ni ante la inmensidad del panorama de la crónica actual habría como escogerlos. Ni siquiera hay aquí una selección de los cronistas que más me gustan, porque en ese caso tendrían que estar estos y una docena más. He buscado a narradores que hablen de temas nuevos, o que hablen de temas eternos con un enfoque y estilo nuevos, o que, en algunos casos, simplemente hayan logrado prodigios de reportería, ciñéndose a las normas clásicas, en condiciones de gran dificultad. Y he buscado temas que produzcan asombro en les lectores. Por encima de todo, he escogido crónicas que he podido releer una y otra vez sin dejar de disfrutar cada párrafo. Espero que les ocurra lo mismo.
Vidding: A History
by Francesca CoppaVidding is a well-established remix practice where fans edit an existing film, music video, TV show, or other performance and set it to music of their choosing. Vids emerged forty years ago as a complicated technological feat involving capturing footage from TV with a VCR and syncing with music—and their makers and consumers were almost exclusively women, many of them queer women. The technological challenges of doing this kind of work in the 1970s and 1980s when vidding began gave rise to a rich culture of collective work, as well as conventions of creators who gathered to share new work and new techniques. While the rise of personal digital technology eventually democratized the tools vidders use, the collective aspect of the culture grew even stronger with the advent of YouTube, Vimeo, and other channels for sharing work. Vidding: A History emphasizes vidding as a critical, feminist form of fan practice. Working outward from interviews, VHS liner notes, convention programs, and mailing list archives, Coppa offers a rich history of vidding communities as they evolved from the 1970s through to the present. Built with the classroom in mind, the open-access electronic version of this book includes over one-hundred vids and an appendix that includes additional close readings of vids.

The Video Game Industry: Formation, Present State, and Future (Routledge Studies in Innovation, Organizations and Technology)
by Edited by Peter Zackariasson Timothy L. WilsonThe Video Game Industry provides a platform for the research on the video game industry to draw a coherent and informative picture of this industry. Previously this has been done sparsely through conference papers, research articles, and popular science books. Although the study of this industry is still stigmatized as frivolous and ‘only’ game oriented, those who grew up with video games are changing things, especially research agendas, the acceptance of studies, and their interpretation. This book describes and defines video games as their own special medium. They are not pinball from which they grew, nor movies which they sometimes resemble. They are a unique form of entertainment based on meaningful interactions between individuals and machine across a growing sector of the population. The Video Game Industry provides a reference foundation for individuals seriously interested in the industry at the academic level. As a result, this book will serve as a reference in curricula associated with video game development for years to come.
Video Games: A Medium That Demands Our Attention (Electronic Media Research Series)
by Nicholas David BowmanThis entry in the BEA Electronic Media Research Series, born out of the April 2017 BEA Research Symposium, takes a look at video games, outlining the characteristics of them as cognitive, emotional, physical, and social demanding technologies, and introduces readers to current research on video games. The diverse array of contributors in this volume offer bleeding-edge perspectives on both current and emerging scholarship. The chapters here contain radical approaches that add to the literature on electronic media studies generally and video game studies specifically. By taking such a forward-looking approach, this volume aims to collect foundational writings for the future of gaming studies.
Video Games and Environmental Humanities: Playing to Save The World
by Kelly I. Aliano Adam CrowleyThis edited collection investigates topics related to environmental humanities through their inclusion, exploration, or critique in contemporary video games. It focuses on how video games are a site for creating and interacting within environments, with analysis that showcases how environments are shaped within video games as well as serve as a reflection of our real world. This crossroad between the virtual and the real allows us to consider the ways in which the concepts, theories, and issues facing our real-world environment can be understood and studied through video games, particularly via the power of interactive play to teach. This book looks into how video games might empower their players to make real-world change through their immersive environments. Finally, the volume offers a consideration of ecological crises through an exploration of post-apocalyptic narratives in a wide variety of video games. This close textual analysis of video game narratives and play structures allows insight into how and why such stories were crafted and explores the various intersections between these fictional play environments and the conditions of our real world.
Video Games and Storytelling
by Souvik MukherjeeGrand Theft Auto IV saw more copies being sold than the latest superhero blockbusters or the last Harry Potter novel. Most of its players and critics commend its storytelling experience; however, when it comes to academic analysis, mainstream humanities research seems confused about what to do with such a phenomena. The problem is one of classification, in the first instance: 'is it a story, is it a game, or is it a machine?' Consequently, it also becomes a problem of methodology – which traditional discipline, if any, should lay claim to video game studies becoming the moot question. After weathering many controversies with regards to their cultural status, video games are now widely accepted as a new textual form that requires its own media-specific analysis. Despite the rapid rise in research and academic recognition, video game studies has seldom attempted to connect with older media and to locate itself within broader substantive discourses of the earlier and more established disciplines, especially those in the humanities. Video Games and Storytelling aims to readdress this gap and to bring video games to mainstream humanities research and teaching. In the process, it is also a rethinking story versus game debate as well as other key issues in game studies such as time, agency, involvement and textuality in video game-narratives.
