(Softcover) Book synopsis Research on dubbing in audiovisual productions has been prolific in the past few decades, which has helped to expand our understanding of the history and impact of dubbing worldwide. Much of this work, however, has been concerned with the linguistic aspects of audiovisual productions, whereas studies emphasizing the importance of visual and acoustic dimensions are few and far between.
Despite having edited numerous books and journal issues over the past 20 years, I found this volume exceptionally challenging. The ups and downs, the uncertainty, and the upheaval that characterized the political landscape in which it was conceived permeated every aspect of the project: from persuading activists with more pressing concerns to invest in reflecting and writing about a relevant aspect of their experience, to constantly adapting the plan of the volume and having to identify new authors as a number of initial contributors – some either too traumatized by the events of the past two years or too busy attending to colleagues in prison, or both – were unable to find the mental space necessary to write.
This is a volume of uncommon urgency, intellectual range, and political importance. Translation, which occupies the crossing point of discourse and power and which affects all networks of word, image and sound, must now stand near the centre of any study of global activism. The richly diverse set of contributors, the activists and scholars, the creators and analysts, located in and out of Egypt, uncover both the conceptual depth and the social force in the contemporary tasks of the dissenting translator.
Cornelia Zwischenberger / Martina Behr (eds.) ISBN:978-3-7329-0191-3 39,80 EUR Contents The issue of quality in interpreting has been debated for almost three decades now. This volume is evidence of the sociological turn Interpreting Studies is taking on quality research. Based on either a socio-cognitive perspective, a sociological approach, or the situational social variability of the entire source and target context, this volume’s contributions analyse the respective roles of participants in a communicative event and the objective of an equivalent effect.
Steve Jones considers a reflection on the Origin of Species’ influence on everything (except biology) 13 March 2014, Times Higher Education I have only once been alarmed when giving a lecture: in Syria a decade ago, when I gave a talk on evolution at the University of Damascus. The students were polite and interested, but several members of the faculty – large mustachioed men with smokers’ faces – denounced me for insulting Islam (at least I assumed they were faculty, which was perhaps naive).

Michel Foucault (1926-1984) was an enormously influential French philosopher who wrote, among other things, historical analyses of psychiatry, medicine, the prison system, and the function of sexuality in social organizations. He spent some time during the last years of his life at UC Berkeley, delivering several lectures in English. And happily they were recorded for posterity:
Four Lectures on Truth and Subjectivity (1980) Six Lectures on Discourse and Truth (1983) Three Lectures on “The Culture of the Self” (1983) These last lectures are also available on YouTube (in audio format):
