Budick, Sanford / Iser, Wolfgang, ed. The Translatability of cultures: figurations of the space between. Edited by Sanford Budick and Wolfgang Iser. Stanford, Calif: Stanford University Press, 1996, Original printing 1996, xiv, 348pp., PAPERBACK, top foredge soiled, and a few flecks on rear cover, otherwise very good copy. Irvine studies in the humanities. - Translation between any two languages sets in motion a tug-of-war around those aspects of each language that are least accessible to agreed-upon equivalents, around those aspects of expression and understanding that are unique to a given culture. This struggle - between possession and dispossession, or between reinscription and obliteration - is necessarily perilous for the culture that has less power to retain the usages of its language. Since translation wields powerful forces of cultural change, it is an arena both of the global coercions of national cultures and of the local dominations of everyday others by everyday selves. Thus the ethics of translation are both the ethics of cross-cultural discourse and the unit problem of ethical discourse itself., The fourteen essays in this volume - which consider a wide variety of cultures from ancient Egypt to contemporary Japan - address both sorts of discourse and elucidate the two-way or mutual conditioning of cultural positions as well as the illusions and exclusions created by mutuality. In short, the essays describe the conditions under which cultures that do not dominate each other may yet achieve a limited translatability of cultures. - CONTENTS: Crises of alterity : cultural untranslatability and the experience of secondary otherness / Sanford Budick -- Perspectives in history -- Translating gods : religion as a factor of cultural (un)translatability / Jan Assmann -- Visual syncretism : a case study / Moshe Barasch -- Translatio studii and Renaissance : from vertical to horizontal translation / Karlheinz Stierle -- Augustine, Chaucer, and the translation of biblical poetics / Lawrence Besserman -- The curse and blessing of Babel, or, looking back on universalisims / Aleida Assmann -- Emerson's constitutional amending : reading "fate" / Stanley Cavell -- The Holocaust and the construction of modern American literary criticism : the case of Lionel Trilling / Emily Miller Budick -- Discovering America : a cross-cultural perspective / Sacvan Bercovitch -- "It is time" : the Buber-Rosenzweig Bible translation in context / Klaus Reichert -- The black hole of culture : Japan, radical otherness, and the disappearance of difference (or, "in Japan everything normal") / Ludwig Pfeiffer -- Models of relationship -- Border crossings, translating theory : Ruth / J.

The New Republic is an American magazine of commentary on politics, contemporary culture, and the arts. Founded in 1914 by several leaders of the progressive movement, it attempted to find a balance between "a liberalism centered in humanitarian and moral passion and one based in an ethos of scientific analysis". Through the 1980s and 1990s, the magazine incorporated elements of the Third Way and conservatism. In 2014, two years after Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes purchased the magazine, he ousted its editor and attempted to remake its format, operations, and partisan stances, provoking the resignation of the majority of its editors and writers. In early 2016, Hughes announced he was putting the magazine up for sale, indicating the need for "new vision and leadership". The magazine was sold in February 2016 to Win McCormack, under whom the publication has returned to a more progressive stance. A weekly or near-weekly for most of its history, the magazine currently publishes ten issues per year. The New Republic was founded by Herbert Croly, Walter Lippmann, and Walter Weyl through the financial backing of heiress Dorothy Payne Whitney and her husband, Willard Straight, who maintained majority ownership. The magazine's first issue was published on November 7, 1914. The magazine's politics were liberal and progressive, and as such concerned with coping with the great changes brought about by middle-class reform efforts designed to remedy the weaknesses in America's changing economy and society. The magazine is widely considered important in changing the character of liberalism in the direction of governmental interventionism, both foreign and domestic. The most important of them was the emergence of the U.S. as a great power on the international scene. In 1917, TNR urged America's entry into the Great War on the side of the Allies. One consequence of the war was the Russian Revolution of 1917. During the interwar years, the magazine was generally positive in its assessment of the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin. However, the magazine changed its position after the Cold War began in 1947, and in 1948, its leftist editor, Henry A. Wallace, departed to run for president on the Progressive ticket. After Wallace, the magazine moved toward positions more typical of mainstream American liberalism. Throughout the 1950s, the publication was critical of both Soviet foreign policy and domestic anticommunism, particularly McCarthyism. During the 1960s, the magazine opposed the Vietnam War but also often criticized the New Left. Until the late 1960s, the magazine had a certain "cachet as the voice of re-invigorated liberalism," in the opinion of the commentator Eric Alterman, who has criticized the magazine's politics from the left. That cachet, Alterman wrote, "was perhaps best illustrated when the dashing, young President Kennedy had been photographed boarding Air Force One holding a copy.".

Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xii, 307, [1] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Author's Note. Bibliography. Index. Black mark on bottom edge. Cover has minor wear and soiling. Andrew Marshall is a British author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist based in Bangkok, Thailand. Since 1993 he has explored Asia's remotest regions for magazines and newspapers worldwide, including TIME, The Sunday Times Magazine, National Geographic, Esquire, and many others. Since January 2012 he has worked for Reuters news agency as a Southeast Asia Special Correspondent. He won a Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting in 2014. His book The Trouser People, about football and dictatorship in Burma, was a New York Times Notable Book and was shortlisted for the Thomas Cook Travel Book Award. He is also co-author of The Cult at the End of the World, a prescient account of Japan's homicidal Aum cult and the rise of high-tech terrorism. His books have been translated into ten languages. Andrew Marshall has written an unforgettable adventure story, the wry account of two journeys into the untraveled heart of Burma. Part travelogue, part history, part reportage, The Trouser People recounts the story of George Scott, the eccentric British explorer, photographer, adventurer, and later Colonial Administrator of Burma, who introduced the Empire's best game (soccer!) to Burmese natives and to the forbidden Wa state of headhunters, who were similarly enthusiastic about it. The second, contrasting journey is Marshall's own, taking the same dangerous path one hundred years later in a country now devastated by colonial incompetence, war, and totalitarianism. Wonderfully observed, mordantly funny, and skillfully recounted, this is journalistic travel writing at its best. Derived from a Kirkus review: Travels, both madcap and somber, into the terra incognita of Burma. No, not Myanmar, insists British journalist Marshall. The Taliban-like military dictatorship has ruled Burma since 1962 coined the name, Myanmar, as "part of an unpopular and cynical campaign against the country's minority peoples." The hook on which Marshall hangs his lively narrative is the familiar travel-lit ploy of following in the footsteps of some previous voyager, in this instance the encyclopedist, linguist, and explorer George Scott, "the last of the guilt-free imperialists," whose careful gazetteering left no detail of Burmese life unturned. By this account, Scott was a thoughtful, generally likable fellow, as imperialists and data-gatherers go; Marshall uses his predecessor's observations as a sort of tuning fork against which to sound his own. These range from the outright grim (the dictatorship's vicious repression of Burma's countless peoples) to Apocalypse Now-surreal (an orange-robed Buddhist monk, cell-phone trilling, poring over a number of recent copies of Guns and Ammo in the depths of the jungle) to the amusing (recounting his language-mangling efforts to make himself understood, he writes, "I had only a smattering of Burmese, but even that seemed like a small victory over astounding linguistic odds"). Balancing politically charged narrations and thoughtful ethnographic descriptions, Marshall never loses Scott's trail, though it becomes quickly apparent that he did not need to follow it to write The Trouser People. He describes himself with self-deprecatory humor, but all the same Marshall emerges from these pages as an extraordinarily intrepid traveler and trustworthy narrator whose finely detailed account will want to make readers hop on the next plane to Rangoon to help overthrow the generals' corrupt, narcodollar-fed regime. Excellent from first word to last.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Good. First Edition [stated]. xvi, 315, [5] pages. DJ has some wear, edge tears, and some soiling. A collection of essays on some of the major cultural developments of the mid-1960's to the mid-1970's. Among the topics covered are the assassination of President Kennedy, LSD, gay liberation, the new social and sexual emotions of the campus, and student opposition to the Vietnam War. The author returned to Radcliffe College, from which she had graduated, and spent several months living with and interviewing students. Diana Trilling (née Rubin; July 21, 1905 - October 23, 1996) was an American literary critic and author, one of a group of left-wing writers known as the New York Intellectuals. Born Diana Rubin, she married the literary and cultural critic Lionel Trilling in 1929 after an extended stay in Paris with childhood friend Margaret Lefranc. Her parents, Sadie (née Forbert) and Joseph Rubin, were Polish Jews, her father from Warsaw and her mother from the local countryside. She graduated from Radcliffe College. Diana Trilling was a reviewer for The Nation magazine. Her works include We Must March My Darlings (1977), an essay collection; Mrs. Harris (1981), a study of and meditation on the trial of Jean Harris; and The Beginning of the Journey (1993), a memoir of her life and marriage to Lionel Trilling. She was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1976. Derived from a Kirkus review: The internecine warfare on the Left rekindled last year by publication of Lillian Hellman's Scoundrel Time has already brought notoriety to Diana Trilling's views of a disorderly decade, 1966-1976. With unflinching zeal she defends her "liberal anti-Communism" and where it led her: to a meeting at which Norman Thomas phoned "Alien" Dulles for extra CIA money for the American Committee for Cultural Freedom ("What kind of war, I would now ask Mr. Epstein and others of his political view, does he, do they, think we should have waged in 1950 against the destruction of freedom in Europe and the Far East?"); to a rejection of opinion-forming responsibility for the Vietnam War (forced upon us, she contends, by Soviet-backed Communist aggression) or of responsibility to demonstrate against it. A second preoccupation-prefaced by a paean to Kennedy as the last-best-hope cut down-is distaste for the cultural upheavals of the late Sixties, expressed at greatest length in a testy account of the student uprising at Columbia, her home ground. Women's liberation finds her refusing to give comfort to either side (in effect: women can never win), today's students at Radcliffe, her alma mater, she deems free-to-drift, empty, lonely. Almost the only thing she speaks of approvingly--it's a third refrain--is the Englishman's continued resistance to social and sexual determinism: "a definition of self, which Americans do not readily come by.".
