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.

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.

In fact the invocation `remember the martyrs!\' is often used whenever enthusiasm for Tamil causes is seen to be flagging, and can penetrate even discussions of how to encode Tamil characters in Unicode, a debate one might consider essentially devoid of potential emotional content.

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.
