Censorship and Ideology
This book offers a fascinating picture of how state censorship affected children's literature translation in post-Civil War Spain. Focusing on the Spanish translations of Mark Twain's children's classics The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the author traces the evolution of the censorship system of the Francoist regime and its impact on Spanish children's literature during the years after the Spanish Civil War. Drawing on the regime's censorship laws, official censors' records, and textbooks, she not only examines the censorship imposed on the translations of Twain's works, but also offers insights into the intricate connections between state censorship and the regime's educational aims. The book gives a revealing analysis of the ways in which the highly bureaucratic censorship apparatus operated under Franco's dictatorship, outlining the flaws and fallacies within it, as well as the strategies adopted by publishers and translators to resist the power of the state. While centred on Francoist Spain, the book also explores broader themes of ideology, censorship, and translation, making it a valuable source for scholars of translation studies and Hispanic studies, as well as those with a wider interest in literature, history, and cultural studies.

The Untold Story of Books
From Gutenberg to Amazon, Michael Castleman's The Untold Story of Books is the first and only history of publishing told from a veteran author's point of view. Witty, entertaining, and full of remarkable new insights, it is a deeply researched, fascinating history of the idiosyncratic book business-aimed at authors, aspiring authors, booksellers, industry professionals, and everyone who loves to read books. Organized into three distinct book businesses, all defined by the evolution of printing, The Untold Story of Books explores how each new book business upended its predecessor, forcing authors, publishers, and booksellers to adapt to ever-changing circumstances. It's a story full of surprises: why did books become favored Christmas presents? Because of a poem written in 1823. Why is New York the nation's publishing capital? Because of the Erie Canal. Why are book endorsements called "blurbs"? Because of a satirist's joke in 1907. And why is copyright often an illusion? Because publishing was founded on book piracy, which today is easier and more rampant than ever. Arriving at the present day, Castleman paints a compelling portrait of an evolving book business full of new promise and peril.

He moved to London and sold designs to printers, and drawings and engravings to print shops. THE FINAL WORD. As William Morris said, "Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful."

Translation, Interpreting and Technological Change
The digital era is characterised by technological advances that increase the speed and breadth of knowledge turnover within the economy and society. This book examines the impact of these technological advances on translation and interpreting and how new technologies are changing the very nature of language and communication. Reflecting on the innovations in research, practice and training that are associated with this turbulent landscape, chapters consider what these shifts mean for translators and interpreters. Technological changes interact in increasingly complex and pivotal ways with demographic shifts, caused by war, economic globalisation, changing social structures and patterns of mobility, environmental crises, and other factors. As such, researchers face new and often cross-disciplinary fields of inquiry, practitioners face the need to acquire and adopt novel skills and approaches, and trainers face the need to train students for working in a rapidly changing landscape of communication technology. This book brings together advances and challenges from the different but intertwined perspectives of translation and interpreting to examine how the field is changing in this rapidly evolving environment.

Of Mind and Machine
Of Mind and Machine provides a broad perspective on multi-level dialogic engagements between text and reader as seen from the use of language in presenting information to generate a discursive experience in various sociocultural settings.The book observes contexts such as national literature in translation, diplomatic speech events, visual-verbal inter-semiotic translation, second language learning, interpreter training, and computer-aided teaching of translation and bilingual writing. These present a unifying interest in textual accountability between form, function, and effect that has been examined from a dual perspective of rhetoric and pragmatics. The research embodies a significant prospect of integration of academic originality with technological innovation to advance language education in the present digital era. Theoretically well-founded, the book does not confine itself to a self-contained system of conceptions and methods. Instead, it demonstrates a rich variety of research possibilities in support of theorisation and education in the field of language and translation studies.This edited volume is primarily intended for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, researchers, and teachers within the fields of language and translation, applied linguistics, and discourse analysis.
Bot-Mimicry in Digital Literary Culture
This Element traverses the concept and practice of bot mimicry, defined as the imitation of imitative software, specifically the practice of writing in the style of social bots. Working as both an inquiry into and an extended definition of the concept, the Element argues that bot mimicry engenders a new mode of knowing about and relating to imitative software - as well as a distinctly literary approach to rendering and negotiating artificial intelligence imaginaries. The Element presents a software-oriented mode of understanding Internet culture, a novel reading of Alan Turing's imitation game, and the first substantial integration of Walter Benjamin's theory of the mimetic faculty into the study of digital culture, thus offering multiple unique lines of inquiry. Ultimately, the Element illuminates the value of mimicry - to the understanding of an emerging practice of digital literary culture, to practices of research, and to our very conceptions of artificial intelligence.

The Conscious Style Guide
A timeless, indispensable guide for anyone who wants to communicate with sensitivity and compassion. Most of us want to choose inclusive, respectful, and empowering language. But language--and how we use it--continually evolves, along with cultural norms. When contradictory opinions muddle our purpose, how do we align our word choices with our beliefs? Who has the final say when people disagree? And why is it so hard to let go of certain words? Afraid of getting something wrong or offending, we too often treat words as dos or don'ts, regardless of context and nuance. Thankfully, in The Conscious Style Guide, award-winning editor Karen Yin provides a road map for writing and speaking with equity in mind--no matter how the world around us changes. Readers will learn: How to identify biased language How to use inclusive language to bring attention to specific groups of people How to adopt conscious language as a tool for self-awareness and critical thinking How to make digital materials more accessible, from event flyers to websites How to alleviate the stress of experiencing exclusionary language How to collaborate with others and work across differences How to create a style sheet to help support your practice And much more With practical advice and hundreds of relatable examples, The Conscious Style Guide invites us to challenge binary thinking, embrace flexibility and creativity, and explore truly effective communication--in all aspects of our lives.
International Bestsellers and the Online Reconfiguring of National Identity
International bestsellers are the ideal sites for examining the complicated relationship between literary culture and national identity. Despite the transnational turns in both literary studies and book history, place is still an important configurer of twenty-first-century book reception. Books are crucial to national identity and catalysts of nationalist movements. On an individual level, books enable readers to shape and maintain their own national identities. This Element explores how contemporary readers' understandings of nation, race/ethnicity, gender, and class continue to shape their reading, using as case studies the online reception of three bestseller titles-Liane Moriarty's Big Little Lies (Australia), Zadie Smith's NW (UK), and Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians (USA). In doing so, this Element demonstrates the need for and articulates a transnational conceptualisation of the relationship between reader identity and reception.
Translation and Decolonisation
