Frost, Kelly and McNamara, Tim. “Language Tests, Language Policy, and Citizenship,” in Tollefson, James W. and Pérez-Milans, Miguel (eds.,). The Oxford Handbook of Language Policy and Planning. Oxford University Press, 2018

This Handbook provides a state-of-the-art account of research in language policy and planning (LPP). Through a critical examination of LPP, the Handbook offers new direction for a field in theoretical and methodological turmoil as a result of the socio-economic, institutional, and discursive processes of change taking place under the conditions of Late Modernity... This Handbook propels the field forward, offering a dialogue between the two major historical trends in LPP associated with the processes of Modernity and Late Modernity: the focus on continuity behind the institutional policies of the modern nation-state, and the attention to local processes of uncertainty and instability across different settings resulting from processes of change. The Handbook takes great strides toward overcoming the long-standing division between "top-down" and "bottom-up" analysis in LPP research, setting the stage for theoretical and methodological innovation.

Bourgeois, Bertrand. Petits poèmes à voir: de la bambochade textuelle aux pochades en prose (1842-1948). Hermann, 2020.

Prose poetry contributes to the reversal of Ut Pictura Poesis in 19th Century French Literature. Rather than using ekphrasis to imitate painting, the prose poem competes with minor visual arts through an appropriation of their generic denominations (sketches, still life, etc.). From the rediscovery of Rembrandt in the 19th Century to Kupka’s experimentations, light and colour are two major obsessions of visual artists which also fascinate poets of the time. Their rhetoric becomes plastic in order to transform chiaroscuro and colours into poetic figures. From Aloysius Bertrand to Francis Ponge, this monograph revisits the history of the 'poème en prose' as a genre defying established literary classifications. It does so by scrutinising how poets turn visual motifs (the window, the mirror, the eye) into the textual signs of poems to be seen rather than read. More information...

The farewell scene plays an essential role in Renaissance sentimental fictions. Be it the separation of lovers, or the farewell to family or relatives, it constitutes the apogee of the story and most often closes the narration. Its stakes are not only narrative, but also moral, and stylistic. More information...

Howland, Peter and Dutton, Jacqueline. “Making new worlds: The utopian potentials of wine and terroir,” in Dutton, Jacqueline and Howland, Peter (eds.,) Wine, Terroir and Utopia: Making New Worlds. Routledge, 2020.

Wine, Terroir and Utopia critically explores these three concepts from multi-disciplinary and intersecting perspectives, focusing on the ways in which they collide to make new worlds, new wines, new places and new peoples. Wine, terroir and utopia are all rooted in natural, spatial and temporal realities, yet all are unable to exist without purposeful human intervention. This edited volume highlights the theoretical and analytical lens of diverse scholars, who critically discuss a dazzling array of intersecting realities and imaginaries – economic, political, cultural, social and geological – and in doing this challenge many of our deeply-held responses to utopia.

Francophone Literature as World Literature examines French-language works from a range of global traditions and shows how these literary practices draw individuals, communities, and their cultures and idioms into a planetary web of tension and cross-fertilisation. The Francophone corpus under scrutiny here comes about in the evolving, markedly relational context provided by these processes and their developments during and after the French empire.

This book is a compilation of the work of seven researchers in the following disciplines: linguistics, sociology, history, didactics and literature. Some works deal with epistemological and theoretical questions, which open up paths on still unexplored areas of research in food studies in Cameroon. All studies present Cameroonian cuisine as an unknown wealth that the peoples who own it should, first, take advantage of. This work therefore deals with issues related to social science nutrition.

The papers brought together in Natura in Fabula focus on nature and environment-related issues in the novel, addressing them from the perspective of topics through the identification of recurrent narrative patterns. Nature often functions as a setting with its scenographies and topographies, but it may also embody an entity which man, more than the novel's characters, is to cope with. How do natural topoi work in writing, owing to their malleability or reversibility in a literary text? To what extent do historic turning points impact these topoi, encouraging new ones to emerge? And what kinds of "eco-logics" do they help elaborate regarding man's relation with nature in works of fiction? More information...

McGregor, Andrew. "Cultures: Cinéma," in Brown, Peter and Faberon, Jean-Yves (dir.,). 101 mots pour comprendre l'Australie. Centre de documentation pédagogique de Nouvelle-Calédonie (CDP-NC), 2018

The 101 mots pour comprendre collection offers small encyclopaedias of popularisation while aiming for scientific excellence. This book devoted to Australia brings together all the fields of knowledge over an immense expanse: a remote history, a disproportionate geography, a diversified sociology, plural policies, an original organisation, and all this against a backdrop of ongoing debates... without forgetting that from a specific point of view, that of the neighbouring archipelago of New Caledonia, it is necessary to know how much Australia counts for all Caledonians.

This dictionary responds to a triple wish: it first intends to establish the balance sheet of several decades of theoretical reflection, more than forty years after the publication of Philippe Lejeune's autobiographical pact (1975). It then aims to map a field of research whose extension is often misunderstood: autobiography in the strict sense, but also, and more generally, the writing of oneself. More information...

Avec À rebours, Huysmans écrit son chef-d'oeuvre : récit de la singularité, roman expérimental, oeuvre-somme et livre-phare. Plantant le décor fin-de-siècle, A rebours porte haut la fantaisie et l'ascèse, la floraison des désirs et la soif d'idéal. Avec l'étude d'un cas clinique de névrose Huysmans déconstruit la narration. Il retire de son milieu un sujet pour l'observer hors contexte: comment peut-on vivre souverainement dans la bulle d'une "thébaïde raffinée" dont l'attraction est aussi irrésistible qu'inéluctable le désastre auquel elle prépare? Appariements, affinités, aspirations: le premier volet de ce numéro double scrute ce qui dans le roman fait attraction. More information...

As an art critic, J.-K. Huysmans is interested in the artists of his time and those of the past. His discourse on painting and the other arts opens him to a free reflection on modernity and on the powers of literature which, like painting, explores its century and escapes from it.

The astonishing diversity of aesthetic possibilities offered by the book as a material support from the end of the 19th century to the most contemporary experiments, is at the heart of the reflection proposed in this book. The page, the leaflet and the book, the screen too, go beyond the framework of the codex and the bound book (fan book, leporello, collection of posters, book drawn, carved book, exploded book, digital book, etc.) by the heterogeneity of their materials, shapes and formats.

Benbow, Heather. “Food, Drink and Hunger for World War I German Soldiers,” in Benbow, Heather and Perry, Heather (eds.,). Food, Culture and Identity in Germany's Century of War. Palgrave Macmillan, 2019.

Even in the harsh conditions of total war, food is much more than a daily necessity, however scarce – it is social glue and an identity marker, a form of power and a weapon of war. This collection examines the significance of food and hunger in Germany’s turbulent twentieth century. Food-centered perspectives and experiences “from below” reveal the social, cultural and political consequences of three conflicts that defined the twentieth century: the First and Second World Wars and the ensuing global Cold War.

The rich contemporary literature of travel has been the focus of numerous recent publications in English that seek to understand how travel narratives respond to today's globalised, high-speed world characterised by the dual mass movements of tourism and migration. Yet a corresponding cutting-edge discussion of twenty-first-century travel writing in German has until now been missing. The fourteen essays in Anxious Journeys redress this situation.

Glajar, Valentina; Lewis, Alison and Petrescu, Corina L. (eds.,). Cold War Spy Stories from Eastern Europe. Nebraska Press, 2019.

The opening of secret police archives in many Eastern European countries has provided the opportunity to excavate and narrate for the first time forgotten spy stories. Cold War Spy Stories from Eastern Europe brings together a wide range of accounts compiled from the East German Stasi, the Romanian Securitate, and the Ukrainian KGB files. The stories are a complex amalgam of fact and fiction, history and imagination, past and present. These stories of collusion and complicity, betrayal and treason, right and wrong, and good and evil cast surprising new light on the question of Cold War certainties and divides. More information...

Lewis, Alison. “The Prenzlauer Berg Underground: orderly Anarchism, Anarchic Order and Simulated Anarchism,” in Magerski, Christine and Roberts, David (eds.,). Kulturrebellen – Studien zur anarchistischen Moderne. Springer VS, 2019.

The starting point of this volume is the unique historical moment of anarchism in the first decades of the 20th century with regard not only to its political, but above all to its cultural significance. Anarchism became the creative and destructive principle of the avant-garde movements that arose from the ever more acute crisis of the European order and civil society of those years. The avant-garde moment, carried by a European intelligentsia between aesthetic protest and political revolt, aimed at overcoming the boundaries between art, life and politics and sparked a search for new possibilities in art as well as for new, anti-bourgeois, social and sexual liberation promising forms of life, from artist colonies to political communities.

Rizzi, Andrea, Lang, Birgit and Pym, Anthony. What is Translation History? A Trust-Based Approach. Palgrave, 2019.

This book presents a dynamic history of the ways in which translators are trusted and distrusted. Working from this premise, the authors develop an approach to translation that speaks to historians of literature, language, culture, society, science, translation and interpreting. By examining theories of trust from sociological, philosophical, and historical studies, and with reference to interdisciplinarity, the authors outline a methodology for approaching translation history and intercultural mediation from three discrete, concurrent perspectives on trust and translation: the interpersonal, the institutional and the regime-enacted.

What is the "self" and the "foreign" in the age of globalisation? How should a culture or a nation define itself and how would individuals deal with questions of identity in a world in which the belonging to a culture or to a nation no longer provides relatively stable categories for the formation and articulation of identity? This book provides in-depth analysis of literary and biographical texts, film and performance practices in the German speaking countries from the 17th century to the present and offers a study of the links and demarcations between language, culture and identity.

Absalom, Matt. “Three provocations about retention and attrition and their policy implications,” in Fornasiero, J. et al (eds.,). Intersections in Language Planning and Policy: Establishing Connections in Languages and Cultures. Springer Nature B.V., 2020.

This volume encompasses the range of issues encountered by language scholars who teach and research in departments of languages and cultures within the higher education system, predominantly in Australia, but touching other universities worldwide. Related studies on language planning, methodology or pedagogy have focused on one or more of these same issues, but rarely on their totality. Intersections as a metaphor running discreetly through the essays in this volume, connects them all to a lived reality. The field of languages and cultures, as it is practised and reflected upon in Australian universities, is essentially an interdisciplinary and interconnecting space – one in which linguistic and disciplinary diversities meet and join forces, rather than collide or disperse along different pathways.

Rizzi, Andrea. “Renaissance Translators, Transnational Literature and Intertraffique,” in Burdett, Charles and Polezzi, Loredana (eds.,). Transnational Italian Studies. Liverpool University Press, 2020.

Transnational Italian Studies is specifically targeted at a student audience and is designed to be used as a key text when approaching the disciplinary field of Italian studies. It allows the study of Italian culture to be construed and practised not simply as the inquiry into a national tradition but as the study of the interaction of cultural practices both within Italy itself and in those parts of the world that have witnessed the extent of Italian mobility. The text argues that Italian culture needs to be considered in a transnational / transcultural perspective and that an understanding of linguistic and cultural translation underlies all approaches to the study of Italian culture in a global context.

Hajek, J. et al. “Improving access to and participation in medical research for culturally and linguistically diverse background patients: A bilingual, digital communication approach,” in Ji, M. (ed.,). Cross-Cultural Health Translation Exploring Methodological and Digital Tools. Routledge, 2019.

Health translation represents a critical yet under explored research field in Translation Studies. High-quality health translation represents an integral part in the development of multicultural health resources. The empirical study and evaluation of health translations, and the establishment of effective health translation methods and models, holds the key to the success of multicultural health communication and promotion. Chapters in this book aim to fill in a persistent knowledge gap in current multicultural health research, that is, culturally effective and user-oriented healthcare translation. More information...

Rizzi, Andrea, Lang, Birgit and Pym, Anthony. What is Translation History? A Trust-Based Approach. Palgrave, 2019.

This book presents a dynamic history of the ways in which translators are trusted and distrusted. Working from this premise, the authors develop an approach to translation that speaks to historians of literature, language, culture, society, science, translation and interpreting. By examining theories of trust from sociological, philosophical, and historical studies, and with reference to interdisciplinarity, the authors outline a methodology for approaching translation history and intercultural mediation from three discrete, concurrent perspectives on trust and translation: the interpersonal, the institutional and the regime-enacted.

Rizzi, Andrea (ed.,). Trust and Proof: Translators in Renaissance. Print Culture. Brill, 2018.

Translators’ contribution to the vitality of textual production in the Renaissance is still often vastly underestimated. Drawing on a wide variety of sources published in Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Latin, German, English, and Zapotec, this volume brings a global perspective to the history of translators, and the printed book. Together the essays point out the extent to which particular language cultures were liable to shift, overlap, shrink, and expand during one of the most defining periods in the history of print culture. Interdisciplinary in approach, Trust and Proof investigates translators’ role in the diffusion of discourse about languages and ancient knowledge, as well as changing etiquettes of reading and writing.

The use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in education has revolutionised learning. Shifting beyond traditional mode of education, the integration of ICTs has become an advantage for students at tertiary education when used for the right purpose to enhance learning. The use of technology brings forth a flexible and accessible mode of education and bridges the gap of learning across borders. This enables students at tertiary level to have access to other universities and academic resource materials globally, thereby expanding their knowledge. Thus, it is crucial to consider the development of technology in education as part of a comprehensive pedagogical framework and take into account new developments in ICTs. More information...

Moodie, Jonathan and Billington, Rosemary. A Grammar of Lopit: An Eastern Nilotic Language of South Sudan. Brill Academic Publishers, 2020.

In A Grammar of Lopit, Jonathan Moodie and Rosey Billington provide the first detailed description of Lopit, an Eastern Nilotic language traditionally spoken in the Lopit Mountains in South Sudan. Drawing on extensive primary data, the authors describe the phonology, morphology, and syntax of the Lopit language. Their analyses offer new insights into phenomena characteristic of Nilo-Saharan languages, such as ‘Advanced Tongue Root’ vowel distinctions, tripartitite number marking, and marked-nominative case systems, and they uncover patterns which are previously unattested within the Eastern Nilotic family, such as a three-way contrast in aspect, number marking with the ‘greater singular’, and two kinds of inclusory constructions. This book offers a significant contribution to the descriptive and typological literature on African languages. More information...

Vaughan, Jill. “The ordinariness of translinguistics in Indigenous Australia,” in Lee, Jerry Won and Dovchin, Sender (eds.,). Translinguistics: Negotiating Innovation and Ordinariness. Routledge – Taylor & Francis, 2020.

Translinguistics represents a powerful alternative to conventional paradigms of language such as bilingualism and code-switching, which assume the compartmentalisation of different ‘languages ’ into fixed and arbitrary boundaries. Translinguistics more accurately reflects the fluid use of linguistic and semiotic resources in diverse communities. This ground-breaking volume showcases work from leading as well as emerging scholars in sociolinguistics and other language-oriented disciplines and collectively explores and aims to reconcile the distinction between ‘innovation’ and ‘ordinariness’ in translinguistics.

Tense and Aspect in Second Language Acquisition and Learner Corpus Research. John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2020.

The expression of temporal relations, notably through tense and aspect, is central in all processes of communication, but commonly perceived and described as a major hurdle for non-native speakers. While this topic has already received considerable attention in the SLA literature, it features less prominently in recent corpus-based studies of learner language. This volume intends to close this gap. More information...

Place-based cultural knowledge – of ceremonies, songs, stories, language, kinship and ecology – binds Australian Indigenous societies together. Over the last 100 years or so, records of this knowledge in many different formats – audiocassettes, photographs, films, written texts, maps, and digital recordings – have been accumulating at an ever-increasing rate. Yet this extensive documentary heritage is dispersed... Archival Returns: Central Australia and Beyond explores the strategies and practices by which cultural heritage materials can be returned to their communities of origin, and the issues this process raises for communities, as well as for museums, galleries, and other cultural institutions.

Mansfield, John. Murrinhpatha Morphology and Phonology. De Gruyter Mouton, 2019.

Murrinhpatha is an Australian Aboriginal language spoken in a region of tropical savannah and tidal inlets on the north coast of the continent. Some 3000 speakers live mostly in the towns of Wadeye and Nganmarriyanga, though they maintain close ties to their traditional lands, totems and spirit ancestors. Murrinhpatha word structure is highly complex, and quite distinct from the better-known Pama-Nyungan languages of central and southern Australia. Murrinhpatha is characterised by prolific compounding, clitic clusters, cumulative inflection, irregular allomorphy and phonological assimilation. This book provides a comprehensive account of these phenomena, giving particular attention to questions of morphological constituency, lexical storage, and whether there is really such thing as a ‘word’ unit.

McNamara, Tim, Knoch, Ute and Fan, Jason. Fairness, Justice and Language Assessment. Oxford University Press, 2019.

This book has two goals, each related to the validity of language assessment. The first goal is to explore the difference between fairness and justice in language assessment. The authors distinguish internal and external dimensions of the equitable and just treatment of individuals taking language tests which are used as gatekeeping devices to determine access to education and employment, immigrant status, citizenship, and other rights. The second goal is to show how the extent of test fairness can be demonstrated and improved using the tools of psychometrics, in particular the models collectively known as Rasch measurement.

Storch, Neomy. “Collaborative Writing as Peer Feedback,” in Hyland, Ken and Hyland, Fiona (eds.,). Feedback in Second Language Writing: Contexts and Issues. 2nd edition. Cambridge University Press, 2019.

Collaborative writing is the co-authoring of a text by two or more writers. During the joint composing process, learners deliberate and provide each other with feedback about all aspects of the text: on the structure, content and language. In this chapter, I draw on a growing number of studies that have investigated collaborative writing to illustrate the distinguishing traits of peer feedback. In collaborative writing, the peer feedback is immediate, responding directly to a need that arises during the composing process. More information...

Kelly, Barbara. “Interactions of speaker knowledge and volitionality in Sherpa,” in Floyd, Simeon; Norcliffe, Elisabeth and San Roque, Lila (eds.,). Egophoricity. Typological Studies in Language 118, 2018.

This chapter investigates evidentiality and egophoricity in Sherpa, spoken in eastern Nepal. It seeks to build on existing accounts of Sherpa evidentials through an investigation of what triggers evidential and egophoric markers. I show that in some instances the trigger appears to be grammatically and temporally-based, in others it is speaker knowledge or evidence-based and in others it is motivated by the volitionality of the agent. The relations between each of these factors is examined here as part of an overall investigation into the Sherpa verbal system. More information...

Anderson, Lara. Control and Resistance: Food Discourse in Franco Spain. University of Toronto Press, 2020.

Control and Resistance reveals the various ways in which food writing of the early-Franco era was a potent political tool, producing ways of eating and thinking about food that privileged patriotism over personal desire. The author examines a diverse range of official and non-official food texts to highlight how discourse helped construct and contest identities in line with the three ideological pillars of the regime: autarky, prescriptive gender roles, and monolithic nationalism. Official food discourse produced an audience with a taste for local foodstuffs, and also created a unified gastronomic space in which regional cuisines were co-opted for the purposes of culinary nationalism.

Martinez-Exposito, A. Los escribas furiosos. Configuraciones homoeróticas en la narrativa española. Prensas Universitarias de América Latina.; Second edition, 2018.

The furious scribes: homoerotic configurations in the Spanish narrative aspires to make intelligible a vast volume of narrative texts whose common denominator resides in their contact with homosexuality, and that, on occasion, have been categorically excluded from any literary debate. Due precisely to this marginalised position within the literary system it has never been possible to speak of a homosexual genre; Critical accounts of modern Spanish literature have considered this dispersion as a sign of poor aesthetic or intellectual quality. The main idea of this book is precisely that there are structures that connect these texts to each other, structures that are clearly perceived through an intertextual awareness and repetitive procedures: insistence on similar arguments, construction of a series of typical characters, recurrence of certain metaphors, tendency to use certain formal moulds, etc. This type of literature, then, is endowed with a certain generic unit, based not only on the common use of the homophobic theme, but on the recurrence of certain formal features.

Sandberg, Claudia and Rocha, Carolina (eds.,). Contemporary Latin American Cinema: Resisting Neoliberalism?. Palgrave Macmillan, 2018.

Contemporary Latin American Cinema investigates the ways in which neoliberal measures of privatisation, de-regularisation and austerity introduced in Latin America during the 1990s have impacted film production and film narratives. The collection examines the relationship between economic policies and the films that depict recent transformations in many Latin American countries, demonstrating how contemporary Latin American film has not only criticised and resisted, but also benefitted from neoliberal advancements.

Favoretto, Mara. Luis Alberto Spinetta: Mito y Mitología. Buenos Aires: Gourmet Musical Ediciones, 2017.

The poetic work of Luis Alberto Spinetta, in appearance, appears as an indescribable chaos. However, it obeys a coherent structure, according to the four basic functions of mythology (Campbell 1988). His poetry deals with existential issues and tries to reconcile opposites to put an end to the anguish generated by the separation of man from the cosmos (Lévi-Strauss 1978)... This work explores the functions of mythology in the songs of Luis Alberto Spinetta in order to suggest a perspective from which to begin to understand part of his legacy.

Expósito, Alfredo Martínez. "Alvaro Pombo y la defensa de la autenticidad homosexual," in Jimenez, M. (ed.,). Masculinidades disidentes. Barcelona: Icaria, 2016.

This volume analyzes the plurality of experiences, perceptions and representations of non-hegemonic masculinities in Spanish society and culture over the last three decades. Its objective is twofold: to delve into the discourses and figurations of gay, lesbian and trans masculinities through very diverse documents, with a clearly interdisciplinary will, in order to illuminate a reality scarcely served by the human and social sciences in Spain. It is especially pertinent to introduce and value the productivity in this context of a concept such as "masculinity", which should be associated with the power structures derived from the legitimation of patriarchy, for the analysis of "sexual dissidence" in our recent history.

Hearn, Adrian and Myers, Margaret (eds.,). The Changing Currents of Transpacific Integration: China, the TPP, and Beyond . Lynne Rienner Publishers, 2016.

This comprehensive assessment of transpacific economic integration explores the many ways that new approaches to multilateral cooperation, and notably the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), are transforming the regional landscape. Reflecting diverse views on the merits of new and wide-ranging agreements, the authors consider: To what extent will the TPP facilitate the US "pivot" to Asia at a time when China, not a TPP member, is attempting to shape regional economic dynamics?

Until recently, Australia and Latin America were considered irrelevant to one another. The prevailing perception in Australia had been that Latin America was too remote, disconnected, and politically irrelevant to warrant serious scholarly or public attention. This pioneering interdisciplinary book ventures into the new space of Australian-Latin American relations, exploring multiple dimensions of the rapidly changing landscape within a global context.

The chapters analyze the image of women in specific political periods such as Francoism or the Kirchners' administration, stereotypes of women in films in Mexico and Chile, and the representation of women in textbooks, among other topics.

Pym, Anthony. Translation Solutions for Many Languages: Histories of a flawed dream. Bloomsbury Publishing, 2016.

This book analyzes, criticizes and compares them, proposing a new list of solutions that can be used in training translators to work between many languages. The book also traces out an entirely new history of contemporary translation studies. More information...

Expósito, Alfredo Martínez (ed.,). Cuestión de imagen: cine y Marca España (Image Issue: Film and Brand Spain). Vol. 24 Vigo Academia del Hispanismo, 2015.

The essays gathered in this volume interrogate from several angles the images of a reconstructed Spain that Spanish cinema of the last years of the 20th century and of the first decade of the 21st century transmits to national and international audiences. Different meanings of the term image and its different uses are addressed, in a deliberate attempt to problematize apparently stable notions such as country image, national reputation, stereotype, and cultural perception.
