Translation as Relation and Glissant\u27s Work

In her article Translation as Relation and Glissant\u27s Work Sandra Bermann proposes that in today\u27s complex world of migration, war, and globalization, translation among languages and cultures is everywhere evident. Indeed, as citizens of the twenty-first century, we inevitably think in and through translation. Yet we have only begun to explore its contemporary modes of operation, its challenges, and its promise for study. Bermann suggests ways to think about translation — its difficulties, as well as its promise. Looking first to some traditional views of translation, Bermann then turns to particular ways in which it might be recast in terms of relation, dialogue, and analogy. She considers the potential of this more pragmatic way of thinking translation for contemporary ideas about language and literary dissemination. Important to this perspective is the work of the Caribbean poet, novelist, and theorist Edouard Glissant. Bermann examines a few of Glissant\u27s salient insights and their pertinence to the questions she raises in her study. Bermann argues that Glissant\u27s ideas can expand our understanding of the role translation might play in the world today and in the future

Literatura Comparada e Tradução : algumas observações

Pensar sobre o papel da tradução na história literária e cultural traz à tona uma consciência aguçada de seu potencial transformador. De Cícero a Lawrence Venuti e Maria Tymoczko encontramos testemunhos do poder, e também das funções complexas e variáveis, da tradução. À medida que o papel da tradução no contexto pós-colonial, pós-estruturalista e pós-, sub- e inter-nacional se lança no cenário mundial hoje, sua capacidade tanto de estender a vida dos textos literários e culturais – mas também de intervir em seus efeitos globais – vem à tona. Acredito que repensar a tradução no século vinte e um pode refinar e expandir nossas opiniões quanto à leitura e à crítica comparada. Idealmente, uma atenção especial à tradução poderia nutrir um modo de leitura textual e linguisticamente particularizado no qual a prática de tradução é entendida tanto como local quanto como global, específica ainda que conectada a afiliações e solidariedades mais amplas. Tal abordagem  orientada pela tradução, baseada em teorias e práticas de diferentes partes do mundo, poderia preparar a literatura comparada para desempenhar um papel particularmente aberto e democratizante nos estudos literários da atualidade

Children exposed to intimate partner violence: Identifying differential effects of family environment on children\u27s trauma and psychopathology symptoms through regression mixture models

The majority of analytic approaches aimed at understanding the influence of environmental context on children\u27s socioemotional adjustment assume comparable effects of contextual risk and protective factors for all children. Using self-reported data from 289 maternal caregiver-child dyads, we examined the degree to which there are differential effects of severity of intimate partner violence (IPV) exposure, yearly household income, and number of children in the family on posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTS) and psychopathology symptoms (i.e., internalizing and externalizing problems) among school-age children between the ages of 7–12 years. A regression mixture model identified three latent classes that were primarily distinguished by differential effects of IPV exposure severity on PTS and psychopathology symptoms: (1) asymptomatic with low sensitivity to environmental factors (66% of children), (2) maladjusted with moderate sensitivity (24%), and (3) highly maladjusted with high sensitivity (10%). Children with mothers who had higher levels of education were more likely to be in the maladjusted with moderate sensitivity group than the asymptomatic with low sensitivity group. Latino children were less likely to be in both maladjusted groups compared to the asymptomatic group. Overall, the findings suggest differential effects of family environmental factors on PTS and psychopathology symptoms among children exposed to IPV. Implications for research and practice are discussed

Intervention for Children Exposed to Interparental Violence (IPV): Assessment of Needs and Research Priorities

In this paper we review the development of interventions for children who have been exposed to interparental violence (IPV), assess current needs in the evaluation of interventions, and provide suggestions for research priorities in this area. Interventions for negative outcomes associated with exposure to IPV only recently have been carefully designed and evaluated, thus knowledge regarding program effectiveness is minimal. Three of the most comprehensive interventions that have been evaluated are presented. Each has demonstrated effectiveness, and focuses on children with different levels of symptoms and distress. However, many questions remain regarding which interventions are beneficial for diverse children with different kinds and intensities of problems. A number of research priorities and suggestions for further improvements in the evaluation of effectiveness of interventions are identified.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/44276/1/10567_2004_Article_469659.pd

The relationship between types of childhood victimisation and young adulthood criminality

BackgroundPrevious research suggests that some types of childhood abuse and neglect are related to an increased likelihood of perpetrating criminal behaviour in adulthood. Little research, however, has examined associations between multiple different types of childhood victimisation and adult criminal behaviour.AimsWe sought to examine the contribution of multiple and diverse childhood victimisations on adult criminal behaviour. Our central hypothesis was that, after controlling for gender, substance use and psychopathy, each type of childhood victimisation â specifically experience of property offences, physical violence, verbal abuse, sexual abuse, neglect and witnessed violence â would be positively and independently related to criminal behaviour in young adults.MethodsWe examined data from a large, nationally representative sample of 2244 young Swedish adults who reported at least one form of victimisation, using hierarchical regression analysis to also account for gender, substance use and psychopathy.ResultsExperiences of physical assaults, neglect and witnessing violence as a child were significantly associated with adult criminal behaviour, but not experiences of property, verbal or sexual victimizations.ConclusionsOur findings help to identify those forms of harm to children that are most likely to be associated with later criminality. Even after accounting for gender, substance misuse and psychopathology, childhood experience of violence â directly or as a witness â carries risk for adulthood criminal behaviour, so such children need targeted support and treatment.

Children\u27s experiences of companion animal maltreatment in households characterized by intimate partner violence

Cruelty toward companion animals is a well-documented, coercive tactic used by abusive partners to intimidate and control their intimate partners. Experiences of co-occurring violence are common for children living in families with intimate partner violence (IPV) and surveys show that more than half are also exposed to abuse of their pets. Given children\u27s relationships with their pets, witnessing such abuse may be traumatic for them. Yet little is known about the prevalence and significance of this issue for children. The present study examines the experiences of children in families with co-occurring pet abuse and IPV. Using qualitative methods, 58 children ages 7–12 who were exposed to IPV were asked to describe their experiences of threats to and harm of their companion animals. Following the interviews, template analysis was employed to systematically develop codes and themes. Coding reliability was assessed using Randolph\u27s free-marginal multirater kappa (kfree = .90). Five themes emerged from the qualitative data, the most common being children\u27s exposure to pet abuse as a power and control tactic against their mother in the context of IPV. Other themes were animal maltreatment to discipline or punish the pet, animal cruelty by a sibling, children intervening to prevent pet abuse, and children intervening to protect the pet during a violent episode. Results indicate that children\u27s experiences of pet abuse are multifaceted, potentially traumatic, and may involve multiple family members with diverse motives

Siblings in Dyads: Cooperation, Conflict and Self-Concept.

Forty pairs of siblings from two parent, two child, middle class families were studied for their cooperation and conflict behavior in this multimethod, multimeasure study. The younger siblings were aged nine to eleven years and the older siblings were aged twelve to fourteen years. The cooperation and conflict variables, derived from the researcher's developmental framework of sibling relationships, were measured in three ways. The projective measure is a newly created sibling apperception test which elicits the subjects' perceptions of the behavior of siblings in six pictures. An objective assessment of the siblings' actual behavior was measured by their performance on three behavioral tasks. A subjective or self report measure of the sibling experience was obtained with rating scales and interview. Results of the cooperation and conflict measures were analyzed by gender, birth order and by the composition of the sibling dyad. The siblings in this sample were more cooperative than conflictual on the behavioral tasks and showed more cooperation than conflict in response to the Sibling Pictures Test, as was predicted. Yet the subjects themselves rated their relationships as higher in conflict than in cooperation. There were few birth order and gender effects found in cooperation and conflict across all measures. Analysis of results for the four sibling dyad constellations indicate that male-male dyads experienced the highest levels of conflict and female-female dyads, the highest levels of cooperation. These outcomes were compared to the subjects' satisfaction with themselves and their sibling and to scores from the Harter Self Competence Scales for Children. When the self perception and satisfaction data were analyzed by the four dyad groups, it was the male-male dyads which had the highest self competence levels and were most satisfied with themselves. They were, however, least satisfied with their siblings. Conversely, siblings in female-female dyads had low self competence levels but were more satisfied with their siblings. These results were related to the tasks and issues relevant to the stages of sibling development described in this study.Ph.D.Clinical psychologyDevelopmental psychologyUniversity of Michiganhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/161631/1/8801281.pd
