Going on from Picasso? Late modernism and the dynamics of history by Nelson, S

“…The conditions for this kind of reorientation were historically unprecedented, grounded in the situation of the post-war United States: the advancing globalisation of the capitalist economy; the institutionalisation of modernist painting as official high culture; the political and intellectual climate of the Cold War; movements for decolonisation and advancing US neocolonialism; the demands for Civil Rights. Each of my chapters analyses a cluster of such framing factors, the legacies of which are still with us today.…”

指示代词的翻译——基于三版《爱丽丝漫游奇境记》汉译本的分析 = Demonstratives in translation – analysis based on Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by 许天惠 Xu, Tianhui

“…This paper selects the original novel and three translated versions: one by Yuen Ren Chao （赵元任） from 1922, one by Chen Fu'an （陈复庵） from 1987, and one by Huang Jian Ren（黄健人） from 2005, to conduct a statistical analysis of the frequency of demonstratives and their corresponding translations in the first three chapters of the original work. The study found that the proportion of distal demonstrative 那na relative to proximal demonstrative 这zhe significantly decreased in the translation; the correspondence between this and 这zhe is the most evident; in cases of non-equivalent translation, there are three situations: distal demonstratives translating into proximal demonstratives or vice versa, the introduction of other terms, and omission. …”
