Fedorov's Introduction to Translation Theory (Translation Studies in Translation)
by Brian James BaerThis is the first English translation of Andrei V. Fedorov’s classic 1953 text Vvedenie v teoriiu perevoda / Introduction to Translation Theory. Fedorov was the first to argue that translation theorizing should be based on linguistics, due to the fact that language is the common denominator of all translation. In addition, this text offers a concise but thorough comparative overview of thinking on translation in Western Europe and Russia. The detailed annotations and substantial introduction by the leading scholar and award-winning translator Brian James Baer inscribe Fedorov’s work in the political and cultural context of the Soviet Union, highlighting the early influence of Russian Formalism on Fedorov’s thinking. This volume is a model of scholarly translation that fills a major gap in our understanding of Soviet translation theory, which will compel a rethinking of current histories of the field. Contributing to the important work of internationalizing and generating new histories of translation studies, this volume is key reading for scholars and researchers of the history, theory, and politics of translation studies; comparative literature; and Russian and Slavic studies.

Feeling Better: Beat Depression and Improve Your Relationships with Interpersonal Psychotherapy
by Cindy Goodman Stulberg Ronald J. FreyBeat Depression and Improve Your Relationships When it comes to treatment for depression, we have been getting it all wrong. Instead of focusing on just the biochemistry, we need to focus on the importance of relationships. Feeling Better offers a step-by-step guide using a research-proven approach called interpersonal psychotherapy, or IPT, which can help you deal with the issues that may be contributing to your unhappiness. Therapists Cindy Stulberg and Ron Frey have used IPT with clients for more than twenty years and achieved dramatic, lasting results after only eight to twelve weeks. They have now created this accessible, first-of-its kind guide. Feeling Better teaches skills and tools that will allow you to set and achieve goals, articulate feelings, and make constructive decisions. You’ll learn to identify and engage with allies and supporters, deal with difficult people, and, if need be, walk away from harmful relationships. Cindy and Ron have taught clients — diagnosed with depression or not — to use these skills in virtually every life situation, from preventing divorce to “consciously uncoupling,” raising healthy children, coping with loss, and dealing with addiction. Writing with wisdom, warmth, and humor, they are savvy coaches and inspiring cheerleaders who can offer a lifeline to the depressed and life enrichment to anyone.

Feindlich-verzerrte Wahrnehmung der Nachrichtenberichterstattung als Bedrohung der sozialen Identität: Eine sozialpsychologische Erklärung des Hostile Media Phänomens
by Sophie BrunsIm Zentrum dieser Arbeit steht die Frage, wie Mitglieder von sozialen Gruppen auf die Nachrichtenberichterstattung zu einem Thema reagieren, welches für ihre soziale Gruppe relevant ist. Mit der Zielsetzung, die Rolle der sozialen Identität für die feindlich-verzerrte Wahrnehmung der Nachrichtenberichterstattung und deren Konsequenzen zu untersuchen, befasst sich die Autorin mit einer sozialpsychologischen Erklärung des Hostile Media Phänomens. Aufbauend auf einer theoretischen Modellierung folgt eine empirische Prüfung des Erklärungsmodells mittels einer quantitativen Befragung mit experimenteller Untersuchungsanlage. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen insbesondere die Bedeutung der wahrgenommenen Bedrohung der sozialen Identität für die Konsequenzen der feindlich-verzerrten Wahrnehmung der Nachrichtenberichterstattung. Es zeigt sich beispielsweise, dass Gruppenmitglieder eher bereit sind, Journalistinnen und Journalisten verbal abzuwerten, wenn sie sich durch deren Berichterstattung in ihrer sozialen Identität bedroht sehen.
Feminism, Community, and Communication
by Betty Mackune-Karrer Mary E Olson. . . from the minds of therapists on the cutting edge!This informative, innovative collection brings together the work of a group of “scholar-therapists,” all women, who have met regularly for ten years to discuss family therapy, gender, and postmodern ideas. The major themes--feminism, community, and communication--are taken in new directions. Feminism, Community, and Communication rethinks therapy, research, teaching, and community work with a renewed emphasis on collaboration, intersubjectivity, and the process of communication as a world-making and identity-making activity. The issues of gender, culture, religion, race, and class figure prominently in this book.In Feminism, Community, and Communication you'll find descriptions of: communal perspectives for therapists that stress listening and understanding over interpreting and knowing the power of love and spirituality in relation to organizational consultation to an agency beset by racial division research on anorexia and what it means a mentoring project for rural girls the Bar/Bat Mitzva as therapy an ethnographic study of Lebanese womenFeminism, Community, and Communication takes an exciting, fresh look at these three intertwined concepts, representing a way of thinking and doing therapy, research, community work, and training that highlights the ethical dimension of each. The book takes the position that human beings are meaning-makers in a common world, and not simply objects to be scrutinized or assessed by “experts.”
Feminist Activism, Travel and Translation Around 1900: Transnational Practices of Mediation and the Case of Käthe Schirmacher (Translation History)
by Johanna GehmacherThis open access book takes the biographical case of German feminist Käthe Schirmacher (1865–1930), a multilingual translator, widely travelled writer of fiction and non-fiction, and a disputatious activist to examine the travel and translation of ideas between the women’s movements that emerged in many countries in the late 19th and early 20th century. It discusses practices such as translating, interpreting, and excerpting from journals and books that spawned and supported transnational civic spaces and develops a theoretical framework to analyse these practices. It examines translations of literary, scholarly and political texts and their contexts. The book will be of interest to academics as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of modern history, women’s and gender history, cultural studies, transnational and transfer history, translation studies, history and theory of biography.
Feminist Translation Studies: Local and Transnational Perspectives (Routledge Advances in Translation and Interpreting Studies)
by Olga Castro Emek ErgunFeminist Translation Studies: Local and Transnational Perspectives situates feminist translation as political activism. Chapters highlight the multiple agendas and visions of feminist translation and the different political voices and cultural heritages through which it speaks across times and places, addressing the question of how both literary and nonliterary discourses migrate and contribute to local and transnational processes of feminist knowledge building and political activism. This collection does not pursue a narrow, fixed definition of feminism that is based solely on (Eurocentric or West-centric) gender politics—rather, Feminist Translation Studies: Local and Transnational Perspectives seeks to expand our understanding of feminist action not only to include feminist translation as resistance against multiple forms of domination, but also to rethink feminist translation through feminist theories and practices developed in different geohistorical and disciplinary contexts. In so doing, the collection expands the geopolitical, sociocultural and historical scope of the field from different disciplinary perspectives, pointing towards a more transnational, interdisciplinary and overtly political conceptualization of translation studies.

Feng Xiaogang’s New Year Films: Industry, Regulation, Humour and Authorship (Asian Visual Cultures)
by Qi AiThis book offers not only an in-depth study of Feng Xiaogang as a cinematic auteur but also a comprehensive and informative discussion of the industrial transformation of mainstream Chinese cinema under party-state regulation from the 1990s to the 2010s. It argues that Feng is not simply a commercially and artistically successful auteur but also a strategist who manages to achieve such success by his ability to negotiate governmental and market expectations. The negotiation facilitates his New Year filmmaking and dynamically affects the textual form of the resulting works. Feng engages in this textual construction, through which he delivers his own interpretations of the Chinese film industry’s state-led commercialisation, cultural policy, film regulation, and even political campaigns, establishes his authorship and restores his creative authority. Through this book, readers will comprehend the edges and limitations of auteur studies in order to understand the current cultural landscape of the film industry.
Fernsehen und Klassenfragen
by Dagmar Hoffmann Florian Krauß Moritz StockDer Sammelband untersucht das Verhältnis von Klasse – einer nicht nur ökonomischen, sondern auch kulturellen und politischen Kategorie – und dem Fernsehen in seinen gegenwärtigen hybriden Formen vor allem aus vier Perspektiven: Erstens geht es um Klassenfragen im Fernsehen, auf der Ebene der Repräsentation, zweitens um Klassenfragen des Fernsehens auf der Seite der Produktion. Hier ist zum Beispiel zu analysieren, welche Klassen welches Fernsehen (für welche Klassen) entwickelt und herstellt. Unter drittens Klassenfragen beim Fernsehen fallen Beiträge, die sich auf die Seite der Rezeption fokussieren und zum Beispiel die Lesarten zu spezifischen Klassendarstellungen beleuchten. Viertens nimmt der Band Klassenfragen der Fernsehwissenschaft in den Blick und reflektiert in diesem Zusammenhang ihre Lücken und ihre Prägung durch Klassenzugehörigkeit.
