Translating Feminism in China: Gender, Sexuality and Censorship (Routledge Advances in Translation and Interpreting Studies)

This book explores translation of feminism in China through examining several Chinese translations of two typical feminist works: The Second Sex (TSS, Beauvoir 1949/1952) and The Vagina Monologues (TVM, Ensler 1998). TSS exposes the cultural construction of woman while TVM reveals the pervasiveness of sexual oppression toward women. The female body and female sexuality (including lesbian sexuality) constitute a challenge to the Chinese translators due to cultural differences and sexuality still being a sensitive topic in China. This book investigates from gender and feminist perspectives, how TSS and TVM have been translated and received in China, with special attention to how the translators meet the challenges. Since translation is the gateway to the reception of feminism, an examination of the translations should reveal the response to feminism of the translator as the first reader and gatekeeper, and how feminism is translated both ideologically and technically in China. The translators’ decisions are discussed within the social, historical, and political contexts. Translating Feminism in China discusses, among other issues: Feminist Translation: Practice, Theory, and Studies Translating the Female Body and Sexuality Translating Lesbianism Censorship, Sexuality, and Translation This book will be relevant to postgraduate students and researchers of translation studies. It will also interest academics interested in feminism, gender studies and Chinese literature and culture.

Change and Exchange in Global Education: Learning with Chinese Stories of Interculturality (Palgrave Studies on Chinese Education in a Global Perspective)

This unique book starts from the premise that students, scholars, and educators should be given access to a form of global education that is genuinely global. Using the notion of interculturality as change and exchange as a basis, the authors examine fifty discourse instruments (e.g. idioms, neologisms, slogans) related to what they call ‘Chinese stories of interculturality’. China, like other countries, has a rich and complex history of intercultural encounters and her engagement with the notion today, which shares similarities and differences with glocal discourses of interculturality, deserves to be unpacked and familiarized with. By so doing, digging into the intricacies of the Chinese and English languages, the reader is empowered to unthink, rethink and especially reflect on their own take on the important notion of interculturality.

Turbo Message Passing Algorithms for Structured Signal Recovery (SpringerBriefs in Computer Science)

This book takes a comprehensive study on turbo message passing algorithms for structured signal recovery, where the considered structured signals include 1) a sparse vector/matrix (which corresponds to the compressed sensing (CS) problem), 2) a low-rank matrix (which corresponds to the affine rank minimization (ARM) problem), 3) a mixture of a sparse matrix and a low-rank matrix (which corresponds to the robust principal component analysis (RPCA) problem). The book is divided into three parts. First, the authors introduce a turbo message passing algorithm termed denoising-based Turbo-CS (D-Turbo-CS). Second, the authors introduce a turbo message passing (TMP) algorithm for solving the ARM problem. Third, the authors introduce a TMP algorithm for solving the RPCA problem which aims to recover a low-rank matrix and a sparse matrix from their compressed mixture. With this book, we wish to spur new researches on applying message passing to various inference problems. Provides an in depth look into turbo message passing algorithms for structured signal recoveryIncludes efficient iterative algorithmic solutions for inference, optimization, and satisfaction problems through message passingShows applications in areas such as wireless communications and computer vision

Regional Parallelism and Corruption Scandals in Nigeria: Intranational Approaches to African Media Systems

Regional Parallelism and Corruption Scandals in Nigeria is a ground-breaking book that offers fresh perspectives on the character and role of the African media in covering corruption scandals. It explores whether reports regarding corruption stem from the efforts of journalists who employ investigative journalism, or if it is a mere coincidence promoted by the activities of anti-corruption agencies. To that end, the book develops a media systems theory for Africa based on the coverage of corruption scandals in the Nigerian press. This new theoretical paradigm, defined as regional parallelism, argues that African countries are nations within nations, and that therefore any comparative study of the media system should recognize this understanding. The book combines both interviews with journalists as well as qualitative content analysis of newspapers to determine the patterns and issues that influence the reporting of corruption. It also looks at corruption within the media itself, taking into account factors such as regionalism and ethnicity within the practice of journalism.

Wettbewerb im deutschen TV-Produktionssektor: Produktionsprozesse, Innovationsmanagement und Timing-Strategien (The Business of Entertainment. Medien, Märkte, Management)

Geleitwort Einige Jahre habe ich die vorliegende Arbeit von Christian Zabel in ihrem E- stehungsprozess begleitet, ich habe sie wie eine Zwiebel wachsen sehen und oft hatte ich gedacht, die Arbeit sei nun fertig gestellt. Christian Zabel hat indes einen Hang zum Perfekten und im Laufe der Jahre immer neue Schichten um den Kern des ökonomischen Programmwettbewerbs hinzugefügt, neuere Theorien verarbeitet, Ansätze aus anderen Wissenschaften einbezogen und seine empi- sche Grundlage stetig erweitert. Kern der Arbeit ist die Analyse des Wettbewerbs im Fernseh-Produktio- sektor. Dies ist äußerst verdienstvoll, weil die TV-Input-Produktion von zentraler wirtschaftlicher, strategischer und publizistischer Bedeutung ist, gleichwohl vom Mainstream der medienökonomischen Forschung kaum beachtet wird. Christian Zabel wählt das Analyseinstrumentarium der Industrieökonomik, um die Bes- derheiten dieses Wettbewerbs in einen einheitlichen Bezugsrahmen zu stellen, erweitert diesen Ansatz indes um spezifische Konzepte der Publizistik und der Organisationssoziologie. Hier zeigt sich deutlich, dass er als Diplom-Journalist sowohl Kommunikationswissenschaftler als auch Wirtschaftswissenschaftler ist, und beide Wissenschaften sehr fruchtbar integriert. Zudem ist er, der unter an- rem mehrere Jahre als Leiter der Forschungsabteilung von HMR International arbeitete, ein ausgemachter Kenner der Fernseh-Produktionsbranche.
