Probably refers to Ourense and Lugo, danger of these areas dying out.

Start of democracy? What type of democracy? What structure is society going to have? What's going to happen with the language? More freedom - Part of Spain, independent, federal structure? What's going to happen to the Statute of Autonomy?

The railway metaphor: railway - progress, speed, industry. Rural, poor, isolated.

This is probably the most important point of the article. What are monolingual and monocultural extractivist practices? Or extractivist practices in general? And how do they connect with the translation profession, and to translation ethics and social responsibility?

How does this impact textual ethics?

Do you think this happens everywhere? If you go to multinational companies' websites, do they use flags? Why do you think that is?

What are the implications of this in the current age? Do translators have a social responsibility to visibilize multilingualism?

What are the implications of this? Especially, what are the implications of this for professional translators and interpreters?

What are the implications of this?

What does he mean here with instrumentalist criteria? Do you agree?

What do you think about this?

Related to the previous comment, what are the implications of this? To what extent do you think research on society is constrained within the borders of a nation? What about professional practice?

What are the implications of this? Do you think this still happens (not just to sociologists but in general)?

Do you know what Cronin is referring to when he talks about a 'terra centric' paradigm?

What does this mean?

What is the cultural turn? Can you remember discussing this in your translation theory classes?

This idea of the borderline conditions of cultures and disciplines seems directly connected to the in-between/liminal position occupied by translation/the translator.

Potentially interesting further reading for blog post?

Potentially interesting for blog post on process. How to apply GTD to writing?

Essential part of the PhD and research process in general.

That's it! One of the most difficult things about the PhD is that it is definitely an amorphous task!

This could be a hint for instructional design/approaching teaching?

This is important to take into account. Furthermore, connect with Austin Kleon's 'Share your work' in thinking about the process, not the product.

Human beings as the host plus its symbiotic microbes.

Holobionts are assemblages of different species that form ecological units. Lynn Margulis proposed that any physical association between individuals of different species for significant portions of their life history is a symbiosis. All participants in the symbiosis are bionts, and therefore the resulting assemblage was first coined a holobiont by Lynn Margulis in 1991 in the book Symbiosis as a Source of Evolutionary Innovation.[1] Holo is derived from the Ancient Greek word ὅλος (hólos) for “whole”. The entire assemblage of genomes in the holobiont is termed a hologenome [From Wiki].

Absolutely. How to find the balance between individual rights (to maternity, family, 'kin' in the more traditional way) and collective responsibility to find the best way to live together?

Does this 'tentacular thinking' have any connections with African Ubuntu, or with Deleuze's rhizome?

This seems closely connected to her previous idea of being in the present. What is the relationship to human psychology when imagining futures? It seems to connect with the idea that there is no real way to predict the future since we can never know when a disruptive change will come about?

A string figure is a design formed by manipulating string on, around, and using one's fingers or sometimes between the fingers of multiple people [From Wiki].

It seems like oddkin is a fairly central idea for Haraway. Not quite clear here. Come back to it?

Expressed as 'impure' I suppose? How to embrace the traditionally called 'dark', 'impure' sides of our being?

Hypha: each of the branching filaments that make up the mycelium of a fungus. Hyphae perform a variety of functions in fungi. They contain the cytoplasm or cell sap, including the nuclei containing genetic material. Hyphae absorb nutrients from the environment and transport them to other parts of the thallus (fungus body) [From quick search on Wiki/Google, just to have an idea of what it was].

Powerful metaphor! The present is the only reality (if even!).

Linked to later insistence on not using apocalyptic futures as an excuse for cynicism and rather using the present as a 'place' of response-ability. Links with Buddhist, yogic philosophy (well-understood).

Where does this idea of the thick present come from? Seems opposed to Bauman's lighter (?), liquid modernity.

Could this be a hint to a connection? Connecting the cosmopolitan with the erotic/Connecting memory with the physichal.

Might be interesting to connect it with the Ollada keywords?

Perhaps I can use this quote for AIEGSEPT2018 as a way to connect previous work on space with mine on body.

Landscape as a continuum that yet has clear differences. No clear line but differences, how to express that?

HISTORICITY

Two landscapes? (ie. Galician and English... but extremely interconnected through the work of academics in Galician Studies (who are also translators), and the activism of the translators (such as J. Dunne). How to connect this to Latour's Agent-network.

Could we talk about the ecosystem of translation? Or perhaps link this with Latour talking about the ecology of translation?

Can be related to Appadurai's notion of culture as dimension not substance?

Galician Translation Studies have followed the system/field criterion so prevalent in Literary Studies.

Could this be connected to Bauman's liquid modernity?

Translation as key to all of them but also happens in their disjunctures (product vs. process)

Appadurai seems to refer to dimensions as flows - Constant movement as definitory of late capitalist societies?

What´s the role of translation here?

Potentially very relevant in the Galician context! Perhaps retrieve for further analysis of Rivas.

In the case of Galicia, not only Spain, but also Latin America through emigration.

But can we talk about borders if we are talking about landscapes and defending the idea of 'blurred' borders?

Orla Murphy mentioned this manifesto at the DARIAH conference (20June2018). Might be interesting to check out at some point for references on ethics+digital literacy.

Can this be linked to Mastropierro's idea of the creation of the fictional world?

This is very much true in Galicia as well, check references.

Hmmm... They do, though! Eg. Finland-Norway mountain gift.

Perhaps interesting as a theoretical point of departure?

Might come in handy at some point!

Might be interesting for workshop in terms of repetition.

Review! Not all of them are in bibliography.

Definitely include in lit review as part of standardisation/sanitisation process in translation!

Interesting quote to introduce the idea of reference corpora.

Might need to include.

This might be important. Could I talk about reproduction of repertoremes in my corpus? To what extent is this useful if it can't contribute to a methodological approach for the of translation, as Bernardini argues?

How central are collocations in my corpus?

A couple of interesting structures for lit review. Add! (March18)

Could this definition be interesting for my project? Focus is different, but there might be an interesting link.

Interesting quote from Firth, review what I have from him in Chapter 2

What are these methodological issues? Will they have an impact in my study?

It does seem that they repeat the word poison in English quite a bit in those two paragraphs, though. Do you think it might be a conscious decision? Or is the word 'venom' used more later on? Also, it seems like "justly served his own poison" is a metaphor that might bear changing to avoid that repetition, if you make it clear that it was literally poison that killed it when you talk about how Hamlet slew him?

Interesting choice. Make sure they don't talk about a different poison later on in the story!

This is more of a literal translation, but it might be worth mentioning that you retain the repetition to highlight the orality? Depending on how many examples of other strategies you have, in any case.

Is this part of the same strategy as 'don't matter'? Or should it have it's own small section in the essay?

I suppose this is a conscious decision related to your general strategy of keeping the orality of the texts. How would you write about this specific example in your essay?

Please add some more info as to what the connotations of the words are in ES for your non ES speaking colleagues to get a better idea of what they mean. Some interesting solutions there already! I´ll refrain from commenting on specifics for the moment, but there's definitely material for the essay in those.

Keeping consistency is important, but it seems that you have a clear idea that these two cases are different: could you justify your decision in your essay? What I would advice against is doing it and not mentioning it in the theoretical part.

For those of you who don't speak ES: a delación happens when somebody betrays you and denounces you to the police. I wonder if by changing it to 'giving away their whereabouts' you're eliminating that tension of not being able to trust anybody?

What a tough title! I don't dislike the one you went for, although I would try to preserve the noun 'darkness', since it does carry a lot more weight than saying his path was dark...

Is this on purporse/part of the style? It seems slightly odd to keep the contraction in a literary text (which is perhaps precisely why you did it, not saying it's wrong).

This sentence seems slightly confusing?

This depends on whether you think the ES reader has much of an advantage in terms of understanding the relationship between the two names. Always remember that your role (depending, again, on the function of the TT) is to be a translator rather than a teacher who is explaining the text to the readers! In any case, whichever option you go for, this is an interesting example for your essay. How would you link it to your theoretical framework?

The choice between the guards/they might depend on whether you think if the repetition is an element of the author's general style.

Very interesting paratext ideas. If you go ahead with them, please don't forget to cite the original sources where the information comes from.

And in today's world, the 'collective intellectual' can't function without translators (both as translators in the strict sense, as facilitators of communication between languages, and in their role as intellectuals who live in between cultures and societies).

Which seems to be lacking today. How do you engage in an intellectual, nuanced debate with Trump (or Rajoy, for that matter)?

Same for translation: this affects functional approaches!

I´d be interested in reading what exactly Foucault said, but I totally agree with this. Not only our ideas about archive from a technical point of view, but also our concepts of what it is to write and to speak and the blurred lines that are appearing with new media (eg. do we write when we text on 'whatsapp'? Or do we just speak when we record a scripted video and upload it to youtube so that it can be reproduced over and over?

I think this is key. This deep separation is dangerous!

And very dangerous ones, since they promote quantity over quality in many cases... And (true) intellectuals need time to develop their thoughts.

Just what I was referring to in my previous answer to Craig's comment: if the personal is political, it's very difficult to remain 'unpolitical', if such an option is even possible.

Interesting! I like this idea of 'transfer of substance' rather than 'transfer of content', etc.

Agreed! And yet many fluxes of translation are initiated from that position...

Intergenerational translation! I love it, yet another use of translation as a metaphor.

She still refers to the 'Third World' throughout the text, in opposition to the Western World. But could we nowadays, beyond obvious economic differences, consider that there is a 'First World' and a 'Third World' in every country? Could an Indian domestic servant have more in common with a homeless person in Ireland (taking this example because it seems to be in the news a lot recently) than with Spivak? If so, translation becomes even more relevant for people to establish new connections across their different identities.

Reminds me of Schleiermacher and his 'bring the reader to the author' statement.

I find this essential. In the same way, not every piece of writing from a culture is a whole example of that culture!

I love it how there's all sorts of either erotic or spiritual metaphors for the act of translation. Mental note to write about them :P

Is this really the task of the translator? Are we putting too much responsibility on them? What about publishers, critics, academics...?

Again, clear hierarchy... Would she say the same about somebody making a film adaptation of a book for example? She argues translation is 'a reading', but it seems like she is presenting it as 'the reading'.

Interesting that a feminist refers to someone else as 'the wife of'...

Norms?

I like the application of this idea to language and translation! Brings me back to the example of the pianist... Translation as something that goes beyond the linear reproduction of words and sentences in a different language.

This avoidance of absolute alterity and search for 'somebody similar enough in order to be able to communicate with them' could be part of the reason for domestication/explicitation in translation?

Is translation a 'shadow' of the original? This seems to be a pretty Western view of the original and the author!

Migration of memory? Travelling memories?

'folklorization' of identity? Oversimplification?

Important distinction!

Might be interesting to find more bibliography on this.

Am I doing the same? :-/

Related to Hermans' norms?

KEY!

This is very important, need to develop own approach to translation and to this dichotomy.

Read more on this!

Thus discrepancies in the representation of the culture.

Key! How does the application of corpus stylistics affect the very questions asked of the corpus?

He seems to be basing his study on Toury - Any other options? Cultural Studies, since I will be applying cultural theory? What other approaches are there for corpus-based studies beyond descriptive translation studies?

I´m looking forward to read/discuss more on the 'Translator's Turn' and how people are approaching the study of the actual people who translate! I´m not sure how much has been done theoretically since Robinson's 'The Translator's Turn'.

Interesting! I wonder how much he's influenced by Bhabha here? Also, wondering if he has a methodology in mind to study that inter-culture?

Or perhaps not always? As in, for example, we might expect more interference from English into Catalan than the other way round?

But also, the expectations on what the readers might tolerate or be familiar with are different! The idea of risk is interesting but I think Pym is failing to take into account the final receiver of the translation.

I agree, and I would add that is not only with respect to technology, but also in relation to the language of marketing.

I don't know if this has been done already, but it would be very interesting to investigate translation tests vs. general translations! The risk is different, so the strategies might also be?

Ok, that's what I was saying in my previous comment! I´ve definitely felt affected by this in some of my Trados/memoQ translations!

My god, Pym really doesn't like Baker!! :P

This is key for me, more related to his idea of norms

It seems here that there is a similar overlap between different types of universals and the different categories of shifts?

To what extent have the tools used shaped the research?

That's very interesting, and I would say it varies as well depending on the profile of the translator (eg. scholars might be in a position in which they can take more risks whereas professional translators have to be more 'careful' in order to keep getting work?

Test

Definitely not!

Is poetry untranslatable or is our definition of 'translatability' too narrow? I like the idea of 'transposition'

Is this really the case? Grammatical patterns might reveal hidden information that might be cognitively interesting?

Are we assuming that the lack of a particular word is a 'deficiency'? Or can multi-word expressions be at the same level?

From 'scrutiny' on I can only hear extreme prescriptivism :P

Now that the use of corpus linguistics is extended, we also know that semantic preference and prosody (the words that appear more frequently around a particular term) have a great influence in the way the meanings (and connotations) of that term are created.

gj

Is this the same or similar to 'horizons of expectation'?

Could this have any relation to Skopos theory in translation? (ie. a translation is different depending on its skopos or purpose, and depending on the audience it is addressed to). I don't know that theory in-depth, but it might be worth having a look at it?

I wonder if I could equate this process to that of translation from Galician and how Production is constructed in the source culture (eg. in decisions made by the Xunta or by Galician publishers) and thus the message is constructed differently than, say, translations from English, which normally originate at the target culture (eg. by a Galician publisher who wants to introduce say Shakespeare into the Galician literary system). Does this make sense or am I going totally off-topic here? I´m possibly just trying to state the obvious truth that, depending on where production originates, the message is going to be different.

This makes me think of Magritte and "The treachery of images" work - Ceci n'est pas une pipe

Why are these two together? Are they considered part of the same phase?

How does this relate to Reception Theory? To what extend do Fish and co. think that the coding of the message affects its reception?

Interesting: how does this relate to translation? Do the institutional power relations change once the text is transferred to another culture? How?
