1970'li yıllarda özerk bir disiplin olarak kabul edilen çeviribilim, geçmişten günümüze edebiyat, psikoloji, sosyoloji, antropoloji ve tarih gibi pek çok sosyal bilim dalları ile etkileşime girdiği gibi başka alanları da etkilemiştir. Bu alanlardan biri de hiç kuşkusuz teknoloji olmuştur. 1980'li yıllarda teknolojinin gelişip değişmesi ile çeviribilim, yerelleştirme sektörünün ortaya çıkmasına aracılık etmiştir. 1990'lı yıllarda sektörün gelişmesinin sonucunda çevirmenler büyük projelerde bilgisayar destekli çeviri araçlarından daha fazla faydalanmaya başlamıştır. Sektörün ilk ortaya çıktığı zamanlardan bu yana yerelleştirmenin çeviribilimin alt dalı olup olmadığına ilişkin tartışmalar devam etmektedir. Bazı kuramcılar, çeviri ve yerelleştirmenin benzer nitelikler taşıdığını savunmasına karşın, bazı kuramcılar iki alanın da çok farklı sürece ve işleyişe sahip olduğunu dile getirmektedir. Bu çalışmada, farklı kuramcıları görüşlerinden yola çıkarak yerelleştirme sürecini oluşturan küreselleştirme, uluslararasılaştırma, yerelleştirme aşamaları tanımlanıp çeviribilim ve yerelleştirme arasındaki ilişki ele alınmıştır. Bu bağlamda, bu ilişkiden yola çıkılarak ürünlerin hedef kitleye ulaştırılması için çağdaş çeviri kuramcısı Anthony Pym tarafından kullanılan aktarım ve dağıtım kavramlarının yerelleştirme sürecinde hangi açılardan ele alındığı ve bu kavramların nasıl nitelendirildiği tartışılmıştır. Makalede aynı zamanda Pym'in yaklaşımına dayanarak yerelleştirme olgusunda ve sürecinde çevirinin işleyişi ve yeri de irdelenmiştir.
In den 1980er und den frühen 1990er Jahren waren japanische Banken die weltweit größten Finanzinstitute und galten als Inbegriff „globaler“ Banken. Der Crash der japanischen Wertpapier- und Immobilienmärkte Anfang der 1990er Jahre und die nachfolgende Rezession waren Anlass zu tiefgreifenden Reformen im japanischen Finanzsystem. Die japanischen Banken waren gezwungen, ihre internationalen Strategien zu reformulieren. Als Konsequenz zogen sie sich aus vielen Märkten zurück und strukturierten ihre internationalen Netzwerke um. Vor dem Hintergrund theoretischer Überlegungen zu der Bedeutung von „Globalität“ und einer empirischen Untersuchung der Entwicklung der Auslandsstellennetze japanischer Banken in den 1980er und 1990er Jahren stellt der vorliegende Beitrag die Globalität japanischer Banken in Frage.
Weltreiche : zur Darstellung prekärer Arbeit in zwei 'Hotelromanen' von Monica Ali und Ali Smith
(2022)
Two British novels exemplify an observation made analysing a larger corpus of contemporary 'hotel novels': both Ali Smith's "Hotel World" (2002) and Monica Ali's "In the Kitchen" (2009) focus on the hotel as a precarious workplace, with women being most vulnerable to its exploitative structures. The Imperial Hotel in Ali's novel is an architectural relic from the British Empire; a setting, where the migrant workers' labour conditions become evident. The Global Hotel in Smith's novel synthesises globalised and local structures, for instance by subverting the function of a hotel as a guest house accommodating affluent customers from all over the world: a receptionist opens the doors to a homeless woman, while the ghost of a female worker killed in an accident haunts the Global Hotel. The hotel has long served as a political metaphor when it comes to criticising liberal migration politics - especially in Britain, which the conservative MP Kenneth Baker referred to as "a sovereign nation, not a hotel" in 1995. In 2004, Tony Blair - then Prime Minister - famously said that "[w]e will neither be fortress Britain, nor will we be an open house". This paper explores these dialectics of openness and closeness in hotel fiction with a focus on the depiction of labour.
Das Kapitalmarktrecht entwickelt sich in der Berliner Republik zu einem voll integrierten Kernbestandteil des unternehmensrechtlichen Diskurses in der Rechtswissenschaft, während es in den vorausgehenden Dekaden primär eine in den normativen Grundlagen wenig durchdrungene Praktikermaterie darstellte. Das vorliegende Essay versucht eine Erklärung für diese Beobachtung zu skizzieren, die auf einem breiten Jurisdiktionen und Nationalökonomien übergreifenden Kontext beruht, der mit den Schlagworten Europäisierung und Globalisierung nur platt und unscharf umschrieben ist. Dabei geht es einerseits um eine Ausweichbewegung deutscher Unternehmen, die mit einer verstärkten Kapitalmarktorientierung eine Klemme in der Unternehmensfinanzierung zu lösen, die durch den Rückzug der vom globalen Wettbewerb erfassten Finanzindustrie aus derselben ausgelöst wurde. Auf der anderen Seite findet in der Altersvorsoge eine Abkehr von Umverteilungssystemen und eine Hinwendung zur kapitalbasierten Vorsorge statt, durch die nicht nur mehr Kapital für Investitionen statt für Konsum zur Verfügung steht, sondern auch die Interessen der Mittelschicht in vielerlei Hinsicht stärker von einer anlegerorientierten Regelung im Gesellschafts- und Kapitalmarktrecht abhängen, als von einer Arbeitnehmerorientierung im Unternehmensrecht.
Although throughout the history of anthropology the ethnography of urban societies was never an important topic, investigations on cities in Africa contributed to the early theoretical development of urban studies in social sciences. As the ethnography of rural migrants in towns made clear, cultural diversity and creativity are foundational and permanent elements of urban cultures in Africa (and beyond). Currently, two new aspects complement these insights: 1) Different forms of mobility have received a new awareness through the concept of transnationalism. They are much more complex, including not only rural–urban migration, but also urban–urban migration, and migrations with a destination beyond the continent. 2) Urban life-worlds also include the appropriation of globally circulating images and lifestyles, which contribute substantially to the current cultural dynamics of cities in Africa. These two aspects are the reasons for the high complexity of urban contexts in Africa. Therefore, whether it is still appropriate to speak about the “locality” of these life-worlds has become questionable. At the same time, these new aspects explain the self-consciousness of members of urban cultures in Africa. They contribute to the expansive character of these societies and to the impression that cities in Africa host the most innovative and creative societies worldwide.
Even though tourism has been recognised as an important field for transnational research today, there are few attempts to place tourism in the context of transnational theories or to think about transnationalism from the perspective of tourists. I argue that in researching tourist practices one can add important aspects to transnational approaches. The prerequisites of mobility and interaction for example are the features chosen by backpackers to describe what their Round-The-World-Trip is about. A form of tourism is adopted, or created, that itself confronts many aspects of globalisation: First of all there is the immense dynamic that is involved. Backpackers try to cover as many places and experiences as possible, travelling at high speed. They adopt all kinds of touristic experiences ranging from beach to adventure to culture tourism. They don't focus on a specific area or country but travel the world. They cross national borders perpetually. Additionally they form a transnational network in which they interact with strangers of similar backgrounds (other backpackers, tourist professionals). This network helps them interacting with people from different backgrounds (the socalled hosts or locals). Considering my research Backpackers forge a certain identity from these transnational practices which I want to name globedentity. Globedentity expresses a type of identity construction that not only refers to the individual (I) but reflects the world (globe) in this identity. This globedentity is not fixed but is perpetually re-created and re-defined. It also embraces the increasing popular awareness of globalisation which backpackers, coming from highly educated middle class backgrounds, in particular have identified with. Due to the constant awareness of the latest global social, cultural and economic developments in these educated milieus they know exactly which tools to use to become successful parts of their societies.
Transnationale Verlagerung von Care-Arbeit in Hinblick auf Ausbeutungs- und Emanzipationsaspekte
(2010)
Transkulturalität ist in den Nullerjahren zu einem zentralen Begriff der Kulturwissenschaften für die Beschreibung von Migrations- und Globalisierungsprozessen avanciert. Dabei eint die Transkulturalität mit ihren Vorgängermodellen der Inter- und Multikulturalität eine binäre konzeptuelle Ausrichtung: Zum einen wollen sie als Deskriptionsinstrumente der sich zunehmend kulturell vernetzenden Weltgesellschaft heuristisch angemessen begegnen. Zum anderen geht in ihnen ein normativer Impetus auf, indem sie Identitätsmodelle formulieren, die gegen Ressentiments und antimigrantische Narrative in Stellung gebracht werden. Immer richten sich diese 'Kulturalitätskonzepte' gegen ein bestehendes Defizit im gesellschaftlichen Wissen um Migrations-prozesse und treten mit ihren implizierten Visionen einer sich entwickelnden Einwanderungsgesellschaft als 'Hoffnungsträger' in den öffentlichen und wissenschaftlichen Debatten auf.
