El circuito bibliológico de la traducción literaria

Translations play a distinctive status in the world of editing: non nor truly culture of origin nor to the arrival, because they inhabit an intermediate zone between languages and Nations. Right attached to the Publisher that publishes, translated book stays together - by the name of the author - the culture of origin. But the translation when adapting and transforms a foreign text to make it readable in a host language helps to preserve the identity of language and culture that welcomes. In such a way that the translation is part of a national literature that latter acclimatizes them and adapting the texts according to their own needs

Digital reading and the digital reader training in Spain: The Germán Sánchez Ruipérez foundation activity and the project territorio ebook (e book territory)

El desarrollo de las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación en los últimos cinco años ha provocado un cam- bio profundo en las prácticas de lectura y en los soportes en los que se efectúa esta, dando lugar a la aparición de una línea de investigación novedosa vinculada con los procesos implicados en la lectura digital. La Fundación Germán Sánchez Ruipérez, con el desarrollo de su pionero programa Territorio Ebook, ha representado un ele- mento clave para la exploración de este nuevo escenario. En el artículo se analizan algunos de sus principales resultados y se comparan con otras investigaciones desa- rrolladas en Europa principalmente

El depósito legal y los recursos digitales en línea

In the history all societies have refereed methods to ensure the preservation of documentary production especially from the point it increased considerably and therefore became increasingly more difficult their identification and control. With different denominations see occur, mainly from the 17TH century, but especially in our century, regulations obliging the different protagonists of the process of communication, and fundamentally to publishers or printers, to deposit a certain number of copies of any published work. This legislation is what is known as legal deposit that although initially had a censor, control, will today is the primary means to ensure the conservation of bibliographic production and documentary in any country. The existence of a legal deposit legislation — keep at least one copy of any publication in a particular country

La traducción en Castilla y León

Translation constitutes one of the main operations in information transference processes. In Spain this activity plays a leading role, reaching the highest levels in Western countries: One out of every four books published is a translation, being English the first source language. The activity of translation is closely connected to the economical resources of publishing houses. These must invest an additional amount of money that does not easily find a compensation or is recovered in the short term. This makes translation to be hindered by the limited dimensions of the companies in places where edition works present a peripherical character, as it does in the community of Castile & León, where it only reaches a certain importance in three of its provinces, Salamanca, Valladolid and León. The importance, however, of German in the community translation activities is significant with percentages clearly over the national standardsLa traducción constituye una de las principales operaciones en los procesos de transferencia de información. En España esta actividad representa una importancia capital por cuanto alcanza las cotas más elevadas en el ámbito occidental. De cada cuatro libros que se publican uno es una traducción, constituyendo el inglés el primer idioma de partida. La actividad de traducción está estrechamente ligada a la solvencia económica de las editoriales que han de acometer una inversión suplementaria no siempre compensada con una recuperación a corto plazo de la misma. Esto hace que la traducción en zonas donde la edición representa un carácter periférico, como es la comunidad de Castilla y León, se vea obstaculizada por la escasa dimensión de las empresas editoriales, y que sólo en tres de las provincias de la comunidad, Salamanca, Valladolid y León, alcance alguna importancia. Es significativa la importancia del alemán en la actividad traductora de la comunidad con porcentajes que se alejan de las medias nacionale

Publishing, books and reading: Spaces of authorship, visibility, and socialisation

Over the course of history, the book and its environment have been in permanent transformation, undergoing changes that have affected its format, textual arrangement, form of reading, and production and distribution systems, as well as its social consideration as an instrument for the transmission of knowledge. One of the greatest changes has taken place in the 21st century with the emergence of digital formats throughout the publishing value chain. If in previous eras the transformations had affected one or other of the mentioned elements, the digital revolution has impacted on all of them simultaneously, as it has modified the ways in which works are created, produced, distributed, and consumed. Also, it has introduced for the first time an element of intermediation between the reader and reading: the device, which, in its different varieties, implies an element of additional complexity. At the present time, and after almost two decades, we can see the advances and setbacks that have occurred on this journey; the achievements and shortcomings from the publishing point of view, in which a strengthening of the big companies can be appreciated; and the emergence of a system of self-publishing that represents a rupture with traditional systems. From the point of view of authorship, the value of the brand, of charisma and prestige, has been emphasised, while a movement of creation is taking place on the fringes of the system that renounces posterity and recognition in favour of visibility. This approach to authorship is also subject to the influx and influence of social networks with their positive effects, in the form of projection, and negative ones, in the form of new ways of censure. Finally, in terms of reading, there is an ambivalent route that runs between the paths of a very strong tradition, linked to the printed book, and digital reading, established from the point of view of practices, but in its more conservative and imitative side with respect to analogue formats; in the digital sphere, new proposals and more innovative initiatives which are attracting the attention of growing but still minority sectors of society are emerging. The digital environment is progressing and consolidating, but it has not yet taken advantage of all the potential that technological advances could provide

De la lectura ensimismada a la lectura colaborativa: nuevas topologías de la lectura en el entorno digital

[ES] La aparición de las tecnologías de la información, y sobre todo de Internet ha dado lugar a nuevas formas de escritura y a nuevas formas de lectura que rompen con la concepción cerrada vinculada al régimen impreso y que redimensionan la concepción creativa dando lugar a la aparición de nociones que redirigen la función en un sentido polimórfico, extrayéndola en muchos casos del propio circuito editorial. La vinculación contractual y tecnológica propia del sistema impreso se diluye en una variedad de formas que amplían considerablemente el campo editorial.[EN] The advent of information technology, and especially the Internet has given rise to new forms of writing and new forms of reading break with the concept linked to the regime closed form and that are redefining the creative concept leading to the emergence of notions that redirect the function in a polymorphic way, pulling it in many cases the book chain itself. The contractual and technological self-print system is diluted in a variety of ways that significantly extend the editorial

La investigación sobre lectura en el entorno digital

[ES]La investigación sobre la lectura durante décadas ha centrado su atención en los procesos de alfabetización, en la formación del lector, en las dificultades para el desarrollo de competencias lectoras y en los patrones de comportamiento de los lectores desde un punto de vista estadístico. La aparición de dispositivos de lectura electrónica, y de contenidos digitales sobre todo a finales del siglo XX, ha generado una corriente de investigación orientada a examinar las circunstancias en las que está produciendo la migración de un sistema analógico a otro digital y la incidencia de la tecnología en algunas de las funciones asociadas con la práctica lectora, como la concentración, la memorización y la interpretación. En este artículo se traza un panorama del desarrollo de algunas de estas investigaciones, estableciendo algunos de los elementos críticos para la consolidación de las mismas

La edición científico técnica: balance y perspectivas

[ES] La edición científico técnica está constituida, en cada país, por todas aquellas obras de información, consulta y divulgación, cuya finalidad es la de transmitir conocimientos organizados y sistematizados en cualquier parcela del saber y en cualquier tipo de soporte, así como por todas aquellas estructuras, empresariales, legislativas, políticas, económicas y culturales que posibilitan su distribución y consumo.
