Translation has become an indispensible tool for the teachers of comparative literature as it is the gateway to enter the arena of the texts of the ‘other’. However, with this shift of the discipline of translation studies from a purely linguistics-oriented approach to a more culture-oriented approach, the scholars have increasingly begun to trace the exercise of ideology in translation that had been hitherto a largely neglected area in linguistics-oriented approaches. The teachers and researchers of comparative literature should use the tool of translation with sensitivity to the ideology it embodies. Since one of major achievements of comparative studies has been enlarging the canvass of cross-cultural communication and understanding, ideology …show more content…
The exercise of ideology in translation, they claim, is as old as the history of translation itself. According to Fawcett, "throughout the centuries, individuals and institutions applied their particular beliefs to the production of certain effects in translation" (qtd. in Parez 2). He further claims that "an ideological approach to translation can be found in some of the earliest examples of translation known to us" (Fawcett 106). Critics have thus begun to study translation not only as a "Cross-cultural transfer '" (Vermeer), but as a "Cross-ideological transfer" (Nissen). As Schaffner claims that all translations are ideological since "the choice of a source text and the use of which the subsequent target text is put are determined by the interests, aims and objectives of social agents" (23). She further explains, "Ideological aspect can be determined within a text itself, both at the lexical level, and the grammatical level… Ideological aspects can be more or less obvious in texts, depending on the topic of a text, its genre and communicative purposes"
How does a comparison of Machiavelli’s The Prince and Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar reflect the way their particular social, cultural and historical context can influence their choice of language, forms and features and the ideas, values and attitudes? Through a comparison, the historical, cultural and social context of literature are reflected through a writer’s language forms and features, highlighting the relevance of the ideas, values and attitudes of their time. As made evident throughout the Renaissance with Niccolo Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince,” which reveals itself to be a political guide on gaining and ruling a kingdom for Lorenzo De Medici, a potential candidate for leadership of Italy. Similarly, in William Shakespeare’s ‘Julius Caesar,’
Class, Good Morning, I hope all is well and that you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving week. I found this week’s lesson and reading material to be quite interesting. I found it interesting because I guess I have been complacent in regards to Cuba’s ability to collect intelligence. Moreover, I was complacent as to why they would want to anymore, after all the Cold War is over with and the Bay of Pigs fiasco is long gone and over with, right? Wrong!

#CATmageddon: A Rhetorical Analysis As Aristotle said: “Quitting smoking is rather a marathon than a sprint. It is not a one-time attempt, but a longer effort.” The Truth is a national campaign designed to inhibit the use of tobacco in American teens. The campaign is made by Truth Initiative formerly known as the American Legacy Foundation, a public health nonprofit group created in 1999 as a result of “the Master Settlement Agreement between U.S. tobacco companies, 46 U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and five territories. Truth produces television and online content to promote anti-tobacco messages” (Wikipedia).
Growing up, the world of mathematics and science has always intrigued me. I have always preferred to calculate definite integrals rather than talk about the Gilded Age, and I will choose to read about NASA’s latest discoveries over Shakespearean sonnets any day of the week. I felt I could delve into the concepts of Calculus and Newtonian Physics more easily than Carnegie’s Gospel of Wealth and Shakespeare’s iambic pentameter. I saw myself devoted to the fields pertaining to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and aspired to pursue a career where I could apply my fascination into the field of engineering. When I walked into AP English Language & Composition at the start of my junior year, however, I realized my interests
In the beginning of the 19th century, the Industrial Revolution caused a massive economic spike from small-scale production to large factories and mass production. Capitalism became the prevalent mode of the economy, which put all means of production in the hands of the bourgeoisie, or the upper class. Karl Marx and Frederick Engels argue that capitalism centralizes all the wealth and power in the bourgeoisie, despite the proletariat, or the working class, being the overwhelming majority of the population. The manufacturers would exploit the common proletariat and force them to would work in abysmal conditions and receive low wages, furthering the working class poverty. “The Communist Manifesto” predicts that as a result of the mistreatment
In Sandra Cisneros’ The House on Mango Street, Esperanza, a young girl from Mexico, describes the unfortunate fact of her and her family –consisting of Mama, Papa, Carlos, Kiki and Nenny, as well as Esperanza herself- moving to another neighborhood far away from where they lived in the past. The story tells what happens after the family moves to Mango Street as well as some information about each character that Esperanza meets during her journey including descriptions about herself and her family, stating that Esperanza is the narrator in the novel. The novel is viewed through Esperanza’s eyes, as she shows everything around her illiberally, from her culture to the people and events she faces. The method of narrating the story language wise
AP Language and Composition in my ears sounds terrifying knowing that English is not a strong subject of mine. I have never been one to enjoy reading, but I always thought I was a satisfactory writer because I was receiving A’s and positive feedback. This made it a no brainer to take Honors English 10. It went well for a while, but then I was hit with my first D, and I did not understand why. I was angry and upset.
Top of page 144 to bottom of page 145 In pages 144 and 145 of “The Raisin in the Sun”, Walter sinks in the state of shock and despair as he makes his decision to sell the house to Mr. Linder. It also contains a dialogue passage between Beneatha and Mama, where an important message is contributed in the play. These two pages contains the preface before the final resolution took place. In the middle top section of page 144, Walter begins his act of despair, and to the other present characters, a simple act of madness.
Everyone who owns a television has seen the “Somewhere in America” commercial at least once, which was published by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. This commercial is full of emotions and most people, “Always change the channel because they can’t take it anymore,” (McLachlan). The most depressing parts of this commercial is the pictures because the dogs and cats are all beaten up and suffering from being abused and neglected by their owners. As a matter of fact, they are trying to make the audience feel sympathetic so they can join the ASPCA. The ASPCA tries to encourage audience monetary donation by using ethos by their tone, logos and pathos from the pictures and the statistics.
Fascist rhetoric was a great piece that represents renaissance, part of Italy’s rebirth. This popularity of renaissance art was exploited to advertise the Fascist to be presented (Bedarida 2012). Aristotle claimed that human nature in action is the focus that a painter and poet imitate to represent a true Italian painter of Renaissance painting that has the quality of being ancient and having an essential plot of tragedy in content. He said that it is not enough for a painting to have a beautiful smeared of colors, this not enough to please viewers to their likings without any outline behind it (Bedarida 2012). Renaissance was all about humanistic in nature, relating it to paintings and poetry that imitates perfectly nature around us (Shannon
“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently” (Andersen). Spoken by Henry Ford, the creation of the Model T gives Brave New World its sense of century placement. In Aldous Huxley’s work, a new society where Ford is referred to as a god, history and relationships do not exist and suffering is unknown due to a mainstreamed drug created due to failure of the Before Ford society. This advanced dictatorship proves technologically savvy, as people are created through a scientific process, leading to thousands of identical people. Bernard Marx and John the Savage are fortunately questioning the way this world works, and ending in suicide demonstrates the citizens reciprocal effect on government institutions.
Worldview Analysis The primary tenets of education Colonial America, were first and foremost, to know God through reading His Word, followed by writing and arithmetic. The importance of the Christian Biblical Worldview were publicized through the establishment of the Massachusetts Law of 1642, which required that parents or guardians educate their children in principles of religion and the capital laws of the commonwealth.

A translator may subject him-/herself either to the original text, with the norms it has realized, or to the norms active in the target culture, or in that section of it which would host the end product. Translation is a complicated task, during which the meaning of the source-language text should be conveyed to the target-language readers. In other words, translation can be defined as encoding the meaning and form in the target language by means of the decoded meaning and form of the source language. Different theorists state various definitions for translation.
The film Lost in Translation follows two Americans visiting Tokyo during important transitional periods in their lives.
