From cancel culture to changing culture

What do big-name celebrities like James Charles, Taylor Swift, James Gunn, Laura Lee, Kayne West, PewDiePie, Roseanne Barr, Shane Gillis, Logan Paul have incommon? They have, at one point in their careers, been “canceled.” Hoards of their social media followers took to Twitter, Facebook and Youtube to hurl insults and declare the celebrities “canceled.” Each of these celebrities has become the target of cancel culture. But what exactly does that mean? Cancel culture is defined by the holy grail of internet slang, the Urban Dictionary, as a “modern internet phenomenon where a person is ejected from influence or fame [because of] questionable actions. It is caused by a critical mass of people who are quick to judge and slow to question.”https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/racial_justice/1173/thumbnail.jp

Understanding & Translating the heart & the soul

AbstractThis paper will focus on two rival synonyms, the heart and the soul in various languages, but focusing on English, Czech, French and German, in order to understand what they mean and the values they engender. Is the soul a value in itself or the property of other ideals? How does the heart contain or relate to other virtues? Is the heart good in and of itself? This would appear to be the case, if we consider ‘heartless’, and the gift of the heart to men by God. But even at the beginning of Genesis, the heart of men is said to be “evil”. The heart and the soul, are complex in themselves, they follow tortuous paths, and translating them will take us on intriguing but surprising, even upsetting adventures.BioJames W. Underhill was born in Glasgow in 1967. He is Full Professor and lectures on Literature, Poetics, and Translation at Rouen University in Northern France. He has worked as a full-time translator of French and Czech, and published poems in translation from French and German. Underhill's work on worldview and language focuses on both linguistic constraints at a deeper level, and the essential creative impulse by which individuals stimulate the shared language of the community. He is the author of Humboldt, Worldview, and Language (Edinburgh University Press, 2009), Creating Worldviews: Ideology, Metaphor and Language (Edinburgh University Press, 2011), Ethnolinguistics and Cultural Concepts: Truth, Love, Hate and War (Cambridge University Press, 2012), and Voice and Versification in Translating Poems (Ottawa University Press, 2017)

Live 8

Make Poverty History – nicht weniger als die Armut der Welt zur Vergangenheit zu erklären, war Ziel des weltweit zeitgleich stattfindenden Live-8-Konzerts vom 2. Juli 2005. In zehn unterschiedlichen Orten der G8-Staaten und im südafrikanischen Johannesburg versammelten sich ungefähr 170 Musik-Gruppen, die auf ihre Gagen für das Konzert verzichteten - ganz nach dem Motto: We don’t want your money, we want your voice. Diesen Spruch verwendete Sir Bob Geldof in der Werbung für Live 8. Die Zuschauer wurden dazu aufgefordert selbst aktiv zu werden und Botschaften mit ihrer Kritik und ihren Forderungen an den G8 Gipfel zu senden. Angelehnt war Live 8 an das legendäre LiveAid Konzert von 1985, welches damals um Spenden für Afrika warb. Im Rahmen des vom 6. bis zum 8. Juli in Schottland stattfindenden G8-Gipfels sollten die Stimmen der Zuschauer an die G8-Akteure ausgehändigt werden. Ein erklärtes Ziel von Live8 war, der Dritten Welt die Schulden zu erlassen und mindestens 25 Milliarden Entwicklungshilfe freizumachen. Nach den Konzerten konnten tatsächlich über 24 Millionen „Stimmen gegen Armut“ an die Veranstalter des G8-Gipfels übergeben werden
