De brujas, literatura infantil y juvenil (LIJ) y su traducción
Mucho se ha escrito sobre el mito de la bruja en la literatura tradicional. Este personaje-tipo constituye también uno de los elementos más reconocibles de la propia historia de la literatura infantil y juvenil (LIJ). Sin embargo, teniendo en cuenta que la casi la mitad de la LIJ en España es traducida, poco se ha escrito sobre el tratamiento de dicha figura y su mundo en manos del traductor. No hay muchos estudios críticos que nos muestren como …
Improving Collaboration Between Staff, Family Members, and Artists in Long-Term Dementia Care: A Participatory Action Research Project Into Health Care Clowning
A growing amount of evidence shows the positive impact of arts-based interventions in dementia care. Existing studies focus on the impact of such interventions on individuals with dementia, yet there is little known about contextual factors influencing the impact of such practices. Contextual factors include personal and relational processes, such as the collaboration between staff, family members, and artists. It also includes making specific or…

Interaction and conversational constrictions in the relationships between suppliers of services and immigrant users: Carmen Valero-Garcés
This article deals with aspects of interaction between doctors and immigrant users whose native language is not Spanish (immigrant non-native speakers of Spanish: INNSS) in healthcare centers in Spain. The methodological focus is based on institutional conversation analysis following Drew and Heritage’s studies (Drew & Heritage 1992; Heritage 1997; Drew and Sarjonen 1997), and ethnographic research (Cicourel 1992). It is my intention to examine t…
Reflexivity and Translation in Cross-Cultural Ethnographic Research
The main aim of this article is to examine the role of translation in cross-cultural ethnographic research dealing with environmental texts. The main focus is on the analysis of linguistic issues that arise during field work when different languages and cultures that the ethnographer may not be familiar with come together. The study follows a qualitative methodology based on the analyses of ethnographer-researchers’ reflections and the translatio…
Veinte años de Discurso, Salud y Encuentros Triádicos. Apunte bibliográfico
Hace 20 años –1996– la llegada de población inmigrante a España comenzaba a ser ya significativa tras una década como miembro de la Unión Europea y con ello nuevos desafíos para la comunicación intercultural. Estas gentes que llegaban por tierra, mar y aire traían lenguas y culturas casi desconocidas o con poca tradición en España y que requerían de intermediarios lingüísticos y culturales para poder comunicarse con la sociedad española y a la in…

Ideology, Ethics and Policy Development in Public Service Interpreting and Translation
Terminology, specialised language and lesser-used languages in PSIT
Our societies are undergoing a process of transformation entailing new challenges. One of these challenges includes the urgency to address certain needs that arise from the rate of change affecting the multilingual and multicultural societies in which we live. In turn, new technologies, which involve the inevitable creation of new terms, are evolving rapidly as we try to incorporate them into our daily business. We live, therefore, with terminolo…
John Rutherford: The Power of the Smile: Humor in Spanish Culture
Hay vida después de la mina… Literatura, industria y medioambiente en la cuenca minera de Utrillas (Teruel)
Utrillas (Teruel) forma parte de la Comarca de Cuencas Mineras de la Comunidad Autónoma de Aragón, siendo además capital administrativa de la misma. Desde el siglo XI hay vestigios de la búsqueda de minerales en esta zona hasta que con el inicio del siglo XXI cesa la producción minera a cielo abierto. Desde entonces y hasta hoy en día el empeño de estas gentes utrillenses ha sido recuperar su destrozada zona y continuar con la vida. El objetivo d…
Norms, Creativity or Social Constraints? Questioning quality in community interpreting in public services
The evolution of Translation and Interpreting Studies as scholarly disciplines in the last decades shows a series of shifts from micro to macro approaches, from text to context, and from language to society. These shifts are also accompanied by the development or reinforcement of what could be considered new areas of study such as Translation and Interpreting in Public Services (TIPS), Sign Language Interpreting, Remote Interpreting or Interpreti…
Challenges in multilingual societies. The myth of the invisible interpreter and translator
This paper concentrates on communication with minority groups through a third party or intermediary in the public services. The variety of settings in which these encounters take place (hospitals, schools, government offices, police stations, customs checkpoints, etc.) raises questions on the role played by this intermediary, the importance of culture, the recognition of his/her job as a profession, the acceptance of the varied forms of professio…
Doctor–patient consultations in dyadic and triadic exchanges
This article presents the results of a study on doctor–patient interaction in dyadic and triadic exchanges. The analysis is based on transcripts of recordings done at healthcare centres in northern Madrid, Spain, and Minneapolis, USA. The methodological approach is that of institutional discourse analysis as developed by Drew and Heritage (Drew & Heritage 1992; Heritage 1995, 1997; Drew & Sorjonen 1997). Three different types of doctor–patient in…
Translating as an Academic and Professional Activity
Cet article étudie le développement de la traductologie en Espagne au cours des deux dernières décennies. Je verrai d'abord quelques-unes des raisons de cet intérêt accru pour la traduction au niveau universitaire, puis j'analyserai l'accroissement de la quantité de publications de travaux académiques portant sur la traduction. Enfin, après avoir discuté de la production d'oeuvres traduites, j'étudierai les relations qu'entretiennent probablement…
Modes of Translating Culture: Ethnography and Translation
The fields of Translation and Cultural Studies can be seen as encircled within an interdisciplinary framework with fluid boundaries. Focusing my attention on the phrase "the translation of cultures" I will try to explore different meanings of the word "translation'' the way this activity is performed, and by whom. My purpose is to analyze the role of both the ethnographer and the translator as interpreters of experience. I will try to deepen in t…
Integrating Cross-Cultural Research in Translation or How to Produce Effective Texts: The Hiv/Aids Case
The paper joins forces with the increasing amount of literature on translation and cultural studies and places translation in the context of cross-cultural communication. Accepting that cultural differences affect communication, we can anticipate that the incorporation of cross-cultural research is vital for the production of effective materials when creating target-oriented texts. In the following pages this hypothesis will be tested through the…
Linguistic and paralinguistic aspects in legal interpretation: Some strategies and programs
In Spain the increase in minorities who speak different languages and come from different cultures has, on a social level, given rise to a growing sense of concern with regard to their integration into society, and, at the judicial level, when it comes to regulating their stay in the country. However, in my opinion, there is one aspect that is being overlooked in official circles: the lack of attention to the immigrants' linguistic problems and t…
