Narratives of Mistranslation

Fictional Translators in Latin American Literature

By: Denise Kripper

This book offers unique insights into the role of the translator in today’s globalized world, exploring Latin American literature featuring translators and interpreters as protagonists in which prevailing understandings of the act of translation are challenged and upended. The volume looks to the fictional turn as a fruitful source of critical inquiry in translation studies, showcasing the potential for recent Latin American novels and short stories in Spanish to shed light on the complex dynamics and conditions under which translators perform their task. Kripper unpacks how the study of these works reveals translation not as an activity with communication as its end goal but rather as a mediating and mediated process shaped by the unique manipulations and motivations of translators and the historical and cultural contexts in which they work. In exploring the fictional representations of translators, the book also outlines pedagogical approaches and offers discussion questions for the implementation of translators’ narratives in translation, language, and literature courses. Narratives of Mistranslation will be of interest to scholars and educators in translation studies, especially those working in literary translation and translation pedagogy, Latin American literature, world literature, and Latin American studies.

What English Language Teachers Need to Know Volume III

Designing Curriculum

By: MaryAnn Christison,Denise E. Murray

Designed for pre-service and novice teachers in ELT, What English Language Teachers Need to Know Volumes I, II, and III are companion textbooks organized around the key question: What do teachers need to know and be able to do in order to help their students to learn English? Thoroughly revised and updated, the second edition of Volume III explores the contexts for ELT curricula; explains key processes in curriculum design; and sets out approaches to curricula that are linguistic-based, content-based, learner centered, and learning centered. Organized around the three pillars of teaching—planning, instructing, and assessing—chapters in the second edition are updated to include current research and theory to meet the needs of today’s teachers, and feature new or revised vignettes and activities. New chapters help teachers understand both the technological and multilingual approaches that learners need to succeed today. The comprehensive texts of this series are suitable resources for teachers across different contexts—where English is the dominant language, an official language, or a foreign language; for different levels—elementary/primary, secondary, university, or adult education; and for different learning purposes—general English, workplace English, English for academic purposes, or English for specific purposes.

The King and Queen of Comezón

The King and Queen of Comezón

By: Denise Chávez

Comezón: It’s more than an itch. It’s a long-standing desire that will never be fulfilled. And, in this novel by award-winning author Denise Chávez, it is also a border town in New Mexico whose denizens’ longings are as powerful as they are, all too often, impossible. But in the feverish dance of life that seizes Comezón during its two annual fiestas, all things seem possible. As the townspeople revel in the freedom of the fiestas, their stories unfold in all manner of mystery, drama, and comic charm. In the middle of it all is Arnulfo P. Olivárez, master of ceremonies and befuddled patriarch of a less-than-tractable family. At the moment, he is calculating his chances of becoming mayor, as well as pondering the fate of his beautiful disabled daughter, Juliana. Arnulfo’s daughters (“the half and the whole,” he deems them) are the Fiesta Queen, Lucinda, a lovely, lost and wild girl, and Juliana, her half sister, wheelchair-bound but with soaring dreams of love for the local priest, El Padre Manolito. Their mother, the saintly Doña Emilia, attends to all her children, including Arnulfo, with grace. Lucinda’s unsuitable suitor, Ruley Terrazas, a tall, bumpy-skinned boy, is not to be trusted, nor is his father, Cuco “Matamosca” Terrazas, the local chief of police. And Rey Suárez, owner of the Mil Recuerdos Lounge, is haunted by his former incarnation as an immigration officer, an expert in spotting fake IDs. Between New Mexico and México, between Cinco de Mayo and the 16th of September, between the dreams and the realities of Comezón’s characters, something has to give. Each character is attempting to find love in this feverish fiesta called Life. And in the deft hands of Denise Chávez this tragicomic novel gives unerringly: pleasure, surprise, and the satisfaction of a tale well told.

Hiding in Plain Sight

Black Women, the Law, and the Making of a White Argentine Republic

By: Erika Denise Edwards

Winner of The Association of Black Women Historians 2020 Letitia Woods-Brown Award for the best book in African American Women’s History and the 2021 Western Association of Women Historian's Barbara "Penny" Kanner Award 2021 Finalist for the Harriet Tubman Book Prize 2020 Finalist Berkshire Conference of Women Historians Book Prize Details how African-descended women’s societal, marital, and sexual decisions forever reshaped the racial makeup of Argentina Argentina promotes itself as a country of European immigrants. This makes it an exception to other Latin American countries, which embrace a more mixed—African, Indian, European—heritage. Hiding in Plain Sight: Black Women, the Law, and the Making of a White Argentine Republic traces the origins of what some white Argentines mischaracterize as a “black disappearance” by delving into the intimate lives of black women and explaining how they contributed to the making of a “white” Argentina. Erika Denise Edwards has produced the first comprehensive study in English of the history of African descendants outside of Buenos Aires in the late colonial and early republican periods, with a focus on how these women sought whiteness to better their lives and that of their children. Edwards argues that attempts by black women to escape the stigma of blackness by recategorizing themselves and their descendants as white began as early as the late eighteenth century, challenging scholars who assert that the black population drastically declined at the end of the nineteenth century because of the whitening or modernization process. She further contends that in Córdoba, Argentina, women of African descent (such as wives, mothers, daughters, and concubines) were instrumental in shaping their own racial reclassifications and destinies. This volume makes use of a wealth of sources to relate these women’s choices. The sources consulted include city censuses and notarial and probate records that deal with free and enslaved African descendants; criminal, ecclesiastical, and civil court cases; marriages and baptisms records and newsletters. These varied sources provide information about the day-to-day activities of cordobés society and how women of African descent lived, formed relationships, thrived, and partook in the transformation of racial identities in Argentina.

Governing Extractive Industries

Politics, Histories, Ideas

By: Anthony Bebbington,Abdul-Gafaru Abdulai,Denise Humphreys Bebbington,Marja Hinfelaar,Cynthia Sanborn

This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Proposals for more effective natural resource governance emphasize the importance of institutions and governance, but say less about the political conditions under which institutional change occurs. Governing Extractive Industries synthesizes findings regarding the political drivers of institutional change in extractive industry governance. It analyses resource governance from the late nineteenth century to the present in Bolivia, Ghana, Peru, and Zambia, focusing on the ways in which resource governance and national political settlements interact. The authors focus on the ways in which resource governance and national political settlements interact, exploring the nature of elite politics, the emergence of new political actors, forms of political contention, changing ideas regarding natural resources and development, the geography of natural resource deposits, and the influence of the transnational political economy of global commodity production.

Women’s Rights: International Studies on Gender Roles and its influence on contemporary Democracy - Volume 2

By: Mônica Sapucaia Machado,Denise Almeida de Andrade

The work presented in this volume is inscribed in a theoretical perspective that deals with the established relations between Law and society, and in particular a set of pertinent reflections on the issue of ‘Women’s Rights’. The title of this publication in itself can evoke in us a call to reflect on our own lives. Whilst excluding what we already know about how evidence and certain meanings commonly affect us as readers, we need to also ask ourselves questions in relation to the title about which specific rights, the work will be looking at in depth. Chapters: 1. CHALLENGES ANNOUNCED TO GENDER EQUALITY IN CURRENT BRAZIL: A “DEMOCRATIC STATE” AS A DANGER TO WOMEN’S RIGHTS 2. PARTICIPATORY DEMOCRACY: IS IT LEGITIMATE WITHOUT WOMEN? 3. VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMAN IN POLITICS 4. DEMOCRACY, ONLINE MEDIA AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMAN: THE DISCOURSE AS AN INSTRUMENT OF STRUCTURAL POWER FROM THE PATRIARCHAL SOCIETY 5. FEMINIZATION OF MIGRATIONS, FEMINIZATION OF CITIZENSHIP: “MIGRANTAS” IN OUR CONTEMPORARY DEMOCRACIES 6.

Women's Rights, international studies on gender: Crisis and pandemic Effects

By: Mônica Sapucaia Machado,Denise Almeida de Andrade,Chiquita Howard-Bostic

The new issue of Women’s Rights International Studies on Gender e-book returns after two years suspended due to the difficulties arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. Inline to listen to the voices of academics from developing and developed countries, this third volume investigates crisis and pandemic effects spread across the world since the beginning of 2020 on women’s lives. In this edition, Professor Chiquita Howard-Bostic integrates the edition responsibilities with professors Monica Sapucaia Machado and Denise Almeida de Andrade to expand the horizons of the studies, both in terms of regionality, Professor Howard-Bostic is American, and Professors Machado and Andrade are Brazilian, as of the focus, in the mixture of sociology and law. The e-book has contributions from professors from Spain, Belgium, India, the United States and Brazil. The piece begins with the debate on the normative force of international conventions for the protection of women´s rights, in a paper by Felipe Gómez Isa; advances to the analysis of domestic violence and the misogynist discourses in the pandemic period, in research carried out by Denise Andrade in partnership with Carolina Hannud and Thais Souza; and the third article addresses the dismantling of access to sexual and reproductive rights in a pandemic period, in the brave work of Rachel Hammonds. In the fourth chapter, the ebook presents the translation into English of the crucial writing of Hildete Pereira de Melo, Lucilene Morandi and Ruth Helena Dweck on the need to insert the social indicator of unpaid work as a satellite account in the Brazilian aid system. This article is due to the conceptual and methodological importance of gender data in Brazil and the world. The work continues with examining women’s situation in disaster conditions in a composition by Monica Machado and Karina Denari. Advances to the understanding of climate change and gender from the Indian legal framework, in the vital research of Stellina Jolly and Makina Kamthan and leads, in the 7° article, to the question of the discourse on the memory of women’s rights and the effect of this recollection for other women, in a paper by Débora Massmann and Patrícia Massmann. Finally, the e-book ends with an essay by Nadejda Marques on how inclusion, equity, and safety net approaches should guide policies to combat the devastation of rights caused by Covid-19 in women’s lives. With this seam that permeates themes, regions, and areas of knowledge, this e-book proposes to contribute to the construction of the academic and social debate on how crises dismantle the few rights conquered by women and what are the ways to rebuild these rights and guarantee that in the subsequent health, economic, social, and environmental crisis, women will not be the most affected again. We hope this effort will encourage more people to think about gender equality and we look forward to our fourth volume bringing better news about the situation of women in the world.

The Metamorphosis of Heads

Textual Struggles, Education, and Land in the Andes

By: Denise Y. Arnold,Juan de Dios Yapita

Since the days of the Spanish Conquest, the indigenous populations of Andean Bolivia have struggled to preserve their textile-based writings. This struggle continues today, both in schools and within the larger culture. The Metamorphosis of Heads explores the history and cultural significance of Andean textile writings—weavings and kipus (knotted cords), and their extreme contrasts in form and production from European alphabet-based texts. Denise Arnold examines the subjugation of native texts in favor of European ones through the imposition of homogenized curricula by the Educational Reform Law. As Arnold reveals, this struggle over language and education directly correlates to long-standing conflicts for land ownership and power in the region, since the majority of the more affluent urban population is Spanish speaking, while indigenous languages are spoken primarily among the rural poor. The Metamorphosis of Heads acknowledges the vital importance of contemporary efforts to maintain Andean history and cultural heritage in schools, and shows how indigenous Andean populations have incorporated elements of Western textual practices into their own textual activities.Based on extensive fieldwork over two decades, and historical, anthropological, and ethnographic research, Denise Arnold assembles an original and richly diverse interdisciplinary study. The textual theory she proposes has wider ramifications for studies of Latin America in general, while recognizing the specifically regional practices of indigenous struggles in the face of nation building and economic globalization.

Exploited, Empowered, Ephemeral

(Re-)Constructions of Childhood in Neo-Victorian Fiction

By: Denise Burkhard

Childhood in neo-Victorian fiction for both child and adult readers is an extremely multifaceted and fascinating field. This book argues that neo-Victorian fiction projects multiple, competing visions of childhood and suggests that they can be analysed by means of a typology, the 'childhood scale', which provides different categories along the lines of power relations, and literary possible-worlds theory. The usefulness of both is exemplified by detailed discussions of Philippa Pearce's "Tom's Midnight Garden" (1958), Eva Ibbotson's "Journey to the River Sea" (2001), Sarah Waters' "Fingersmith" (2002) and Dianne Setterfield's "The Thirteenth Tale" (2006).

Women's Rights: International studies on gender roles and its influence on human rights

By: Mônica Sapucaia,Denise Andrade

This book, which I am pleased to preface, is divided into two parts of great relevance to contemporary feminist studies, especially to the peripheral countries of the capitalist world. In it lie essays that I divide into two categories. On the one hand, we have articles that address structural issues involving human rights and, in particular, women’s rights. These are the texts that discuss the way in which the subject of human rights, in the contexts of the regional economic communities, are inserted; there are also the texts that address the bankruptcy of the patriarchal political system regarding the political representation of women in countries like India and Brazil; and the chapter in which the authors reflect on the need for an international feminist normative that breaks with the predominantly male discourse in international law, which disregards feminist proposals for normalization. The other part of the book covers varied subjects that connect with the feminist agenda and gender studies as well as contemporary identity processes. These are studies on the reproductive rights of women; sexual and domestic violence against women; environmental degradation and its relation to the patriarchal model to the detriment of traditional cultures; the immigration of women for marriage as a conscious choice; mental health and its relation to gender issues. Chapters: 1. REGIONAL ECONOMIC COMMUNITIES IN HUMAN AND WOMEN´S RIGHTS PROTECTION 2. WOMEN REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS: A REFLECTION ABOUT INTERNATIONAL PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS 3. WOMEN AND MENTAL HEALTH: A STUDY ON ADOLESCENCY AND GENDER IN BRAZIL 4. A PROGRAM TO COMBAT HARASSMENT AGAINST WOMEN: CONSIDERATION FOR IMPLEMENTATION AT THE UNIVERSITY 5. DOMESTIC AND FAMILY VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN BRAZIL: IS THERE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL? 6. ENVIRONMENTAL PATRIARCHY AND INDIGENOUS WOMEN: FROM INVISIBILITY TO RESISTANCE 7. MARRIAGE EMIGRATION OF WOMEN FROM RUSSIA 8. RESERVATIONS, INTERSECTIONALITY, AND WOMEN’S REPRESENTATION IN INDIAN POLITICS 9.
