Translating from India and the Moving Space of Translation (Illustrated by the Works of Ajñeya)

The inadequacies and obsolescence of Eurocentric theories based on a binaryand static worldview have become a staple topic of postcolonial studies, and tosome extent also of translation studies. Nonetheless, the literary texts that arecalled upon in order to show the dynamism and hybridity of (post)modern worksbelong for the most part to the languages of the former colonial powers, especiallyEnglish, and remain inserted in a system that construes literatures interms of opposition. As a consequence, there is outside India a doubly misleadingunderstanding of Indian literatures other than those written in English:firstly, that translations of works in Hindi and in the Indian bhāṣā seem to belacking, if not inexistent, and secondly, that these "minor" literatures - as theyare regularly termed - are still often viewed as being highly dependent on theidea of "tradition," in opposition to the "postmodern" hybridity of the literatureswritten in the "dominant" languages, such as English or French. Againstthese views and supported by the analysis of Ajñeya's works in Hindi togetherwith their English translations, this paper aims to show: 1) that translationsfrom Hindi, which are not in fact non-existent, are mainly carried out in India,and 2) that Ajñeya's works, while representing a significant instance of the effectivehybridity present in Indian literatures, help to illustrate the moving spaceof translation. This demonstration effectively invalidates the above-mentionedoppositional standpoint.

Psychometric properties of the french translation of the constructive thinking inventory in a sample of adolescents and young adults

The Constructive Thinking Inventory (CTI) measures cognitive coping strategies used in everyday problem solving. The main objective of this study was to assess the factorial structure, the internal consistency, the correspondence with the American normative values, and the discriminant validity of the French translation. A community sample of 777 students aged 12 to 26 years, recruited from schools, colleges and universities, answered the 108item selfreport CTI questionnaire during a class period. A sample of 60 male adolescent offenders aged 13 to 18 years, recruited from two institutions for juvenile offenders, answered the CTI during an individual interview. Results show that the French translation of the CTI follows an identical factorial structure as the Epstein's American version in both adolescents and young adults, and that its internal consistency is satisfactory. Differences in Constructive Thinking profiles according to gender and age and between Swiss and American samples, are discussed. Juvenile offenders differed from community youths on most of the scales, speaking for a good discriminant validity of the CTI. In conclusion, the French translation of the CTI appears to preserve the original version's psychometric properties. The present study provides normative values from a community sample of Swiss adolescents and young adults.

Fallait-il le rêver pour oser le réaliser?

(Résumé de l'ouvrage) La question du rêve est part intégrante de la question de la religion et intéresse de ce fait au plus haut point l'histoire comparée des religions. Non seulement les rêves ont-ils souvent été à l'origine d'une religion, mais ils sont fréquemment un de ses vecteurs principaux. En incluant la dimension onirique comme un élément constitutif du religieux et en développant des méthodes pour l'investiguer, le présent ouvrage se propose de montrer le lien consubstantiel entre religion et rêve. Les études réunies sont issues du colloque Rêves, visions révélatrices: réception et interprétation des songes dans le contexte religieux qui a eu lieu à Lausanne les 7 et 8 décembre 2000. Elles offrent des réflexions et des visions sur les rêves portant sur différentes traditions religieuses et faisant recours à des approches méthodologiques variées. L'ensemble des contributions tente de répondre à la double exigence de l'histoire des religions qui, tout en investissant un contexte religieux spécifique, se donne les moyens de réfléchir le rêve en lien à la religion dans une perspective comparative.

Incursiones en Occidente: comentarios a una ponencia del Dr Maluquer de Motes en Santiago de Compostela (1973)

Lo primero que hay que señalar es que siendo episódica la dedicación del autor al estudio de la Cultura Castreña del Noroeste (Maluquer, 1954; 1970; 1973A Y B; 1975), algunos de sus trabajos, en especial el documentado estudio en la Ha de España dirigida por Menéndez Pidal y el que es objeto de nuestro análisis, constituyeron hitos en el estudio del mundo castreño.

Reflexões sobre os sistemas categoriais de Aristóteles, Kant e Ranganathan

Este trabalho apresenta a teoria das categorias conforme elaboradas por Aristóteles, Kant e Ranganathan. Procura subsídios que permitam identificá-las como princípios fundamentais e imprescindíveis para a organização do conhecimento. As três perspectivas são confrontadas para estabelecer as diferenças e semelhanças, tendo em vista os objetivos de cada sistema categorial. Conclui que Aristóteles concebe seus princípios fundamentais para expressarem os modos do ser, ao passo que Kant os relaciona como modos do pensar. Por sua vez, Ranganathan formula as categorias como modos de classificar.
