Belle, Marie-Alice. "“Mysteries divulged”: Philemon Holland’s Paratexts and the Translation of Pliny’s Natural History in Early Modern England." Meta 61 (January 18, 2017): 70–86. http://dx.doi.org/10.7202/1038686ar.

Abstract:
This paper seeks to situate Philemon Holland’s 1601 translation of Pliny’s Natural History in the context of the development of early modern English science. While Holland’s Pliny has traditionally been studied in terms of the early modern reception of the Classics, the establishment of an English rhetoric of translation and the development of English prose, this paper focuses on the discursive and paratextual strategies at work in Holland’s rendering of the botanical and medical books of Pliny’s Natural History. Drawing on and broadening Genette’s definition of paratexts as liminary spaces of authorial—or translatorial—control and self-fashioning, the paper explores the complexities of Holland’s self-defined translation project as the “divulging” of Pliny’s medical and botanical knowledge to a broadened readership. Whereas the prefaces to both volumes of the Natural History rely on the rhetoric of utilitas, or usefulness, to span the spectrum of potential readers, from schoolchildren and “inferior readers” to Humanist scholars and physicians, a closer analysis of the marginal annotations in books XIX to XXVII of the Natural History shows Holland integrating the Continental tradition of learned commentary denouncing the factual, interpretive, and methodological errors in Pliny’s treatise. It is argued that the resulting tension between text and paratext, and between Holland’s prefaces and other kinds of liminary material, ultimately reflects changing attitudes towards ancient science, and the very nature of scientific knowledge in early modern England.

Abstract:
In today’s racially charged, post-election atmosphere it has become more important than ever to recognize and root out subversive and persistent forms of racism, especially racism geared toward society’s most impressionable members: children. In the book, Was the Cat in the Hat Black? The Hidden Racism of Children’s Literature, and the Need for Diverse Books, Philip Nel discusses in five chapters various ways that classic and modern children’s literature continues to perpetuate white supremacy. While not denying that children’s media has made great strides toward promoting a more diverse view, Nel insists and supports the idea that there is “legacy racism” promoted by classic children’s literature.

Abstract:
This research discusses daily reckoning of the Qibla with rubu’ mujayyab. A special discussion about the shadows of the Qibla using rubu’ mujayyab also does not yet exist in the classic books that examine rubu’ mujayyab. The discussion only reaches the determination of the Qibla direction. The study employs library research that is descriptive comparative.The results of the study show first, that the daily qibla method of reckoning with rubu’ mujayyab can be categorized as classic reckoning because it uses data and calculating devices which are classified as classic tools. However, the theory and system of calculation is based on the modern astronomical formula using rubu’ mujayyab. The shadow calculation of this Qibla does not use the place longitude and the equation of time, so the result of the calculation is istiwa’ time. Secondly, the accuracy of the shadows of Qibla with rubu’ mujayyab when compared to contemporary reckoning methods using ephemeris data and scientific calculators shows a difference of 1-4 minutes.

Abstract:
<p><em>This paper reviews the position of the Quran as al-Muhaymin toward the other religious scriptures. Specifically, the study focuses on Q.S. al-Mâidah [5]: 48, which explicitly contains the word “al-muhaymin”. That word in the mentioned surah triggers the polemics among mufassir and starts the discussion on its relation with the authenticity of the other previous holy books. Some relate the books’ authenticity with naskh and taḥ</em><em>rîf that leads to the claim of falsification within those books. By interpreting the word “al-muhaymin”, the author attempts to objectively re-comprehend the bond between the Quran and the previous holy books. By tracing the classic and modern tafsîr books, the author assumes that the Quran is the continuation of other books revealed by Allah in advance. The connection of the Quran and the previous books is as the sharia revealed by Allah to people with the similar universal principles. In this case, God and the principles within those books are the same, yet, it is formulated by the law which is dissimilar in the context. Both the Quran and the previous holy books have the same purpose that is to assure people’s safety and happiness.</em></p>

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of genre-style modifications of modern Ukrainian documentary literature on Euromaidan (2013−2014) and armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine (2014−2020). An example of the book “Chronicle of Eyewitnesses: Nine Months of Ukrainian Resistance” (2014, the author of the project — O. Zabuzhko, compiler — T. Teren) explores the content and form of the collective chronicle (eyewitnesses chronicle) genre. It is noted that the posts of 150 authors, placed on various Internet resources and selected for the book, are structured according to the logic of the development of the classic plot. The texts present a diverse range of images of Euromaidan participants. The description of the events is expressed by original artistic means and vivid emotions. Collection of essays «Point Zero» by Artem Cech represents the narrative of a writer who participated in the ATO in 2015−2016. It is a “self-portrait of the artist”, in which the author makes an objective analysis of his subjective war experience. Both books are a kind of objective artistic and emotional document of the era.

Abstract:
This chapter takes up questions of literary ventriloquism and surrogate authorship that always plagued the slave narrative and are imaginatively reinvented by such black Atlantic writers as Toni Morrison and Caryl Phillips in their revisiting of Shakespeare’s Othello. To do so, they return to the founding scene of the “Talking Book” of the Atlantic slave narrative, where the slave worries that the master’s book will not speak to him or her. Staging a range of responses to analogy, these writers place slavery next to colonialism and the Holocaust, renovating but also complicating a classic postcolonial project of writing back to the empire in order to decolonize the mind. Their explorations return us to the meaning of slavery itself, its singularity, its relation to narrative, and to modern conceptions of racial formation. Such efforts transform the classic project of writing back to the text of Western authority, evenly negotiating the pull of influence, intertextuality, and adaptation.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the implications of homology as a scientifically credible concept for the metaphysics of evolutionary biology, that is, the question of whether such words as “characters” can refer to real things. It first considers the relationship between philosophy and science before discussing how the notions of class, individuals, and natural kinds relate to the conceptual proposal in this book. To introduce the idea of a class, the chapter looks at the history of the concepts of acids and bases. It then describes the notion of natural kinds and emphasizes the usefulness of definitions and models in the study of character evolution and development. It concludes by arguing that characters can be understood as natural kinds, if the latter notion is appropriately modified.

Abstract:
This article analyses the publication history of Dutch translations of Madame Bovary within the wider context of Flaubert’s reception more generally. In the decades following its publication, Madame Bovary was widely criticized due to its ‘scandalous’ subject matter. Gradually, these moralistic views gave way to a growing recognition of the novel as a modern classic. However, the immorality scandal continued to resonate with readers. We investigate how these diverging views on the novel informed the branding strategies employed by the publishers of its Dutch translations. Combining reception history, translation studies, paratextual analysis, and cultural sociology, we demonstrate how each publisher established a branding narrative that was informed by the status of the translator in question and that targeted a specific readership.

Abstract:
Dr. Patricia Carter Sluby (Fig. 5.1) is a primary patent examiner retired from the US Patent and Trademark Office and formerly a registered patent agent. She is also the author of three books about African American inventors and their patented inventions. Patricia’s father is William A. Carter Jr., and her mother is Thelma LaRoche Carter. Her father was the first black licensed master plumber in Richmond, VA, and his father also had the same distinction in Columbus, OH, years earlier. Her father was born in Philadelphia, PA, and attended college. Her grandfather went from Virginia to look for work in Canada and became a stonemason. Later he relocated back to the United States, where he soon married in Boston, MA, and several of his children were born there. Later, the family moved to Philadelphia where Patricia’s father was born. Her mother, who attended Hampton Institute, taught school and later managed the office for Patricia’s father’s business. Patricia’s mother was born and raised in Richmond, as were most of her maternal relatives. Patricia had three brothers. They were all born during segregation in Richmond, the former capital of the Confederacy. Patricia was born on February 15, in Richmond. She attended kindergarten through eighth grade in segregated schools that were within walking distance of home. In school, they studied from hand-me-down books, but her black teachers were well trained and well informed. They had bachelor’s degrees; some had master’s or even PhD degrees. To go to high school, Patricia took a city bus across to the east side of town, to the newly built school for black students, which incorporated eighth grade through twelfth grade. Her teachers were excellent instructors who lived in her neighborhood and knew her parents quite well. The teachers looked out for the neighborhood kids and acted as surrogate parents out­side the confines of the home. Teachers and principals were also great mentors, dedicated to their craft; they encouraged students to understand the world and function as responsible adults. Patricia excelled in science and math.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the figure of the servant as an information center, both in connection with and as opposed to modern search engines. It proposes an analogy between the literary character Reginald Jeeves, the butler in P. G. Wodehouse's stories, and the search engine AskJeeves.com, which chose that literary figure as the prototype of its corporate identity. The idea is that the techniques of information retrieval, organization, and distribution which the classic butler or domestic employs already act as a search engine avant la letter. The claim will be further illustrated with the example of the library servant and his transformation from a subservient carrier and sorter of books to the powerful electronic library catalogue OPAC (online public access catalogue) of today.

Abstract:
In translation studies, the term localization is mostly associated with areas connected to new technologies, such as software, websites or computer games. The origins of localization in the form known currently is dated to the mid-1980s, with the dynamic development of computers available to the masses (Schäler 2010). The main aim of this article is to explore whether the concept of localization can be used in a meaningful way to analyse other types of texts in interlingual and intercultural transfer, including texts written before the modern form of localization appeared. The analysis will be illustrated by two case studies taken from the field of children’s literature. The first concerns the Polish rendition of the 19th century classic Der Struwwelpeter while the second one a Polish translation of a contemporary book from the Lesemaus series. Both texts are examples of multimodal texts, that is, picture books for children.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter provides a background of philosopher Hans Blumenberg. In the quarter-century since his death, Blumenberg has become a modern classic in his native Germany, making him one of the most important philosophers of the postwar period. His reception in the English-speaking world has been slower: even though his three major volumes have been available in translation since the 1980s, it was only during the previous decade that the life and work of Blumenberg began to move past the realms of academic rumor or a secret reserved for the initiated. This book presents an overview of Blumenberg's work, which spans almost twenty books published during his lifetime and a steady flow of further volumes from his extensive archive. The topics he covered include but are not limited to modernity and secularization; the philosophy of history; the history of science and technology; language philosophy and rhetoricity; aesthetics and literary theory; philosophical anthropology; theology; and mythical thought, to name just a few.

Abstract:
It is not essential to have a background in enzymology or biochemistry to gain at least an introductory-level understanding of many biosynthetic processes, so this book does not deal with enzymology or enzyme structure or function in any significant way, even though much of the chemistry we will be examining depends almost entirely on enzyme catalysis. Nevertheless, we will refer to enzyme catalysis and the names of specific enzymes throughout the text as we examine biosynthetic processes and reactions in significant detail. So what exactly are enzymes? Simply put, enzymes are naturally occurring proteins that catalyze various biochemical reactions in living systems. As we will see, many of the reactions they catalyze are familiar organic reactions, but have specific purposes and target structures. Generally speaking, enzymes catalyze organic reactions by lowering transition state energies or raising ground state energies of reactants in much the same way as nonenzymatic catalysts in laboratory chemical reactions, though in the case of enzyme catalysis, rate enhancements of as much as 1023 have been reported, far exceeding rate enhancements currently achievable by conventional chemical means. Understanding the interaction of enzymes and substrates (reactants) to form an enzyme–substrate complex (E–S complex) is fundamental to having some appreciation for how enzymes carry out their work. While overly simplistic, the “lock-and-key” model of enzyme–substrate interaction provides an intuitive context for understanding the remarkable substrate specificity of enzyme-mediated reactions. Thus, so-called enzyme active sites or binding sites (the “lock”) will only accept certain specific substrate structures (the “key”), with shape, conformation, intermolecular forces, and other factors determining the lock-and-key fit. Enzymes not only catalyze specific kinds of reactions, they can act specifically on certain compounds or classes of compounds or functional groups, often showing remarkable selectivity and stereospecificity, especially in the recognition and/or introduction of chirality centers in organic molecules. In terms of nomenclature, enzyme names always end with an ase suffix and are typically named in accordance with the substrate they act upon and/or the kind of reaction process they catalyze.

Abstract:
Learning and teaching procedures need to evolve, regarding the high technological profile most students have. The Teacher might consider that in some cases, outdated teaching methods create barriers for students who are used to interaction with modern technological gadgets and computers. Augmented Reality technology emerges as a great potential tool in the teaching environment. Augmented reality (AR) is a cost-effective technology which has the ability to coexist with paper books supplying students with more attractive and didactic contents meaning rebirth of classic textbooks. In this work we present the developed didactic material supported by AR technology for learning sketching, designation and rules of standard mechanical elements. This book has been included in the curriculum of engineering graphics subject of the Mechanical Engineering Degree in a Spanish University for performing a pilot study seeking comparison of academic performance acquired and motivation for study between two groups of students. One group uses AR based material meanwhile the other uses traditional class notes.

Abstract:
It is difficult not to mention language reform when referring to Chinese literature modernization between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century. Language played a critical role in facilitating the escape of Chinese literature from Chinese medieval literary works in order to integrate into world literature. The language reform not only laid a foundation for modern literature but also contributed considerably to the grand social transformation of China in the early days of the 20th century. Chinese new-born literature was a literature created by spoken language; in Chinese terms, it was considered as a literature focusing on “dialectal speech” instead of “classical Chinese” used in the past. In international terms, it can be named as living language literature which was used to replace classic literary language in ancient books – a kind of dead language. This article will analyze how language reform impacted Chinese modern literature at the beginning of the 20th century.
