It also discusses the current practices of translation hacking by examining the work of a well-organized online community of Arab translation hackers called Games in Arabic (GiA). To this end, the study adopts two methods for data collection. First, semi-structured interviews were conducted with the first translation hackers in the Arab world in order to document the history of this practice. Second, a cyberethnographic approach was adopted to collect qualitative data related to GiA, including their translation hacking practices and the technologies used to facilitate their collaborative work. Subsequently, this article attempts to reveal the roles played by the different GiA community members in executing their projects and how they control for quality in their work. Ultimately, the article attempts to provide insights into the practice of Arabic game localization performed by amateur translators, hackers, and gamers, in the hope of adding to current professional and pedagogical practices in Arabic game localization.","PeriodicalId":43764,"journal":{"name":"Translation Spaces","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46893913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Towards the validation of this methodology, the Qur’anic lexical item\u0000 آيـة (āyah) is investigated at two levels: (a) the\u0000 intertextual level of the semantic preferences emerging in the various co-texts of āyah inside the Qurʼan and (b)\u0000 the paratextual level of the overall discourse prosody underlying these semantic preferences in the exegetical contexts of\u0000 āyah. The research finds firstly that there are four semantic preferences associated with\u0000 āyah, viz. cosmological phenomena, miraculous tokens, conclusive evidence, and divine\u0000 revelations/communications. Second, the discourse prosody underlying the Qurʼanic usages of āyah is divine\u0000 visibility, which motivates the word’s generic English translation as “sign.” Third, in rendering the lexical item آيـة (āyah) into English, the well-known Qur’an translators in the Qurʼanic\u0000 Arabic Corpus have opted either for “sign,” to maintain the positive discourse prosody associated with the Qur’anic usages of the\u0000 item, or “token,” “portent,” “miracle(s),” or “verse/revelations/communications,” with a view to observing the semantic\u0000 preferences associated with them.","PeriodicalId":43764,"journal":{"name":"Translation Spaces","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41325121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Approaching a Qing clause\u0000 against marriage between persons of the same family name as an object of anthropological study, Jamieson annotated his rendition\u0000 with rich paratexts to orient it under the concept of exogamy. After reflecting upon predecessors’ theories, he advanced his own\u0000 by restructuring existing anthropological constructs. Taking his translation as a knowledge source, Jamieson further highlighted\u0000 the existence of an endogamous limit upon the exogamy rule; this observation was absorbed by Henry Maine to strengthen his\u0000 argument that exogamy and endogamy were not oppositional in agnatic societies. As revealed in Jamieson’s interaction with British\u0000 anthropologists, he proved himself more than a translator of Qing marriage law but also a contributor to nineteenth-century\u0000 British anthropology.","PeriodicalId":43764,"journal":{"name":"Translation Spaces","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45669515","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study is a multi-dimensional analysis of the image of conference\u0000 interpreters as represented by the media, which is based on a corpus of 60 news reports about interpreting and interpreters in the\u0000 Chinese media in the past 10 years. It explores the research question: How are conference interpreters represented in the Chinese\u0000 media? Through thematic and rhetorical analysis of the headlines and body texts as well as multimodal analysis of the photos in\u0000 the news reports, it is found that conference interpreters are represented by institutional conference and diplomatic\u0000 interpreters, who are in turn represented as “stars” or public celebrities of the profession; they are frequently presented along\u0000 with big events and big names, and portrayed as affiliating to power and as distant from the public. Images of female beauties\u0000 among them are also selected and “consumed” as in popular culture. This implies a discrepancy between the self-perception of the\u0000 interpreting profession and their representation by the media.","PeriodicalId":43764,"journal":{"name":"Translation Spaces","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2021-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45032052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The “technological turn” in translation studies 翻译研究中的“技术转向”

Jiménez-Crespo","doi":"10.1075/ts.19012.jim","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1075/ts.19012.jim","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 For over two decades, Translation Studies (TS) scholars have argued that the discipline is going through a\u0000 ‘technological turn’. This paper critically questions whether TS has already completed this “paradigmatic” or “disciplinary turn,”\u0000 “a clearly visible and striking” change of direction that can “perhaps even [amount] to a redefinition of the subject concerned”\u0000 (Snell-Hornby 2010, 366). After a revision of the notion of ‘turn’ in TS, it will\u0000 be argued that the ‘technological’ one has been completed and it can, in fact, be assessed “after it is already complete” (ibid).\u0000 It will be shown how the emergence and consolidation of this turn were “driven not by theoretical developments in cognate areas of\u0000 inquiry,” but are an “emergent property from new forms of translation practice” (Cronin\u0000 2010, 1). As a consequence, it has permeated TS across its different subdisciplines, both in their theoretical\u0000 apparatus and/or in their research methodologies. In this examination, the picture that emerges is that translation, across TS,\u0000 has in fact been redefined in one way or another as an instance of “human-computer interaction,” even in contexts such as literary\u0000 translation.","PeriodicalId":43764,"journal":{"name":"Translation Spaces","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2020-12-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41812475","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Are these hetero-images positively or negatively\u0000 connoted? A qualitative thematic analysis is conducted on four daily newspapers in Switzerland – Tages-Anzeiger, St.\u0000 Galler Tagblatt, Le Temps and 24 Heures (two important newspapers for each of the two major official\u0000 languages) – over a period of one year (spring 2013 – spring 2014). The analysis shows the scarcity and negativism of discourse\u0000 about non-literary translation in Switzerland: it is depicted as a risky, costly, lonely and peripheral business – results that\u0000 would need to be compared across media and countries.
