Dear Colleagues,



The latest issue of the Translation Journal has, as always, very interesting articles. What caught my eye specifically was \'Cultural Elements in Translation\'. Though this purports to be an article on literary translation, it does cover wider issues.

Finnish connection Dec 23, 2001

Here\'s another link (not exactly a recent one) - this time about Finland. (a bit closer to the subject, as compares to my previous posting, but still I like WG Sebald\'s pessimism, as well as his utter concern with geography)

Language, Primordialism and Sentiment; a lecture by Harold Schiffman Mar 2, 2002

By one objective measure, such as willingness to sacrifice one\'s life for the language, the Tamils surely rank near the top: by documented estimates, at least 9 Tamils have voluntarily given their lives for their language during various demonstrations and actions during the last four decades (Ramaswami 1997:1) and unofficially, the loss of life by Tamils fighting for an independent Tamil Eelam in Sri Lanka ranks very high.

\"The Craft of Translation\"



Review

The nine essays collected in The Craft of Translation contain plenty of theoretical speculation about \"working in the space between languages.\" Fortunately, though, most of the authors avoid getting bogged down in abstraction. Indeed, luminaries like William Weaver and Margaret Sayers Peden stick to a nuts-and-bolts analysis of exactly how one word gets chosen over another.

The nine essays collected in The Craft of Translation contain plenty of theoretical speculation about \"working in the space between languages.\" Fortunately, though, most of the authors avoid getting bogged down in abstraction. Indeed, luminaries like William Weaver and Margaret Sayers Peden stick to a nuts-and-bolts analysis of exactly how one word gets chosen over another. And Gregory Rabassa\'s opening salvo (\"No Two Snowflakes Are Alike\"), which addresses some of the basic dilemmas of literary translation, should fascinate beginners and polished professionals alike.
