Translators’ performance of trustworthiness
Recent studies reveal conflicting views on what makes a translator trustworthy, with professional training and accreditation not universally accepted as indicators. Sociologists and historians of science have shown that professionalism also relies on virtues like charisma and approachability, which serve as prevailing signals of trustworthiness in professional contexts. This article examines how translators have historically signalled trustworthi…
The unequal exchange of carbon
Despite a flurry of critical analyses discussing its controversial track record in terms of effectiveness and social feasibility, carbon offsetting remains one of the key mechanisms within global climate governance. We address an understudied dimension of the offsetting paradigm, with a focus on the voluntary carbon market and nature-based ‘solutions’, to inquire whether carbon trading constitutes a form of unequal ecological and economic exchang…
Subtle Green Grabbing? The Extractive Dimensions of Carbon Offsetting
Among the subtlest forms of contemporary "green grabbing" are carbon offsetting ventures, as most nature-based carbon credits are issued in tropical countries through carbon forestry projects. While it may appear less problematic than the seizing of tangible land, the "scramble for carbon" unleashed by global "green" agendas implies new de facto enclosures-often on Indigenous land-and requires the disciplining of forest communities. Drawing on re…
Blooming activism in a drying land
This paper explores water justice struggles in the understudied region of Iraq and Iraqi Kurdistan through a focus on two water justice movements, one civil society campaign, and a related event. While most of the relevant literature in geography and cognate fields has thoroughly dissected inter-State hydropolitical quarrels, discussed water justice from a legal perspective, and analysed water conflicts, less attention has been paid to bottom-up …
International missions of the Suomen Joutsen
The aim of this article is to analyse the identity-making role played by the maritime factor in promoting the international picture of the young Finnish republic by using the case study of the frigate Suomen Joutsen on its international voyages from 1931 to 1939. The rituals of naval diplomacy meant that the political, diplomatic and commercial authorities of the nations visited were brought on board the ship and contacts were made with the recen…
Interpreting in Early Modern Diplomacy
In this article, I examine the relationship between mobility and trust in the work and life of a wide range of early modern diplomatic interpreters. I address this relationship by bringing together archival material unearthed by literary scholars and social historians: specifically, historians of diplomacy, translation, and interpreting. I seek to address these documents from the perspective of occasional dragomans who found themselves performing…

Leonardo Bruni and the Shimmering Facets of Languages in Early Quattrocento Florence
LEONARDO BRUNI WAS one of the greatest humanists of the early quattrocento. He represents the "new generation's talent for a more classicizing style and of the new locutionary energy that it provided." 1 Bruni is recognized as the quintessential humanist of his time: "if Bruni is not a typical Quattrocento humanist, nobody is." 2 Bruni set the standard for humanistic prose writing of the early quattrocento, and his legacy goes beyond the confines…
Latin and Vernacular in Quattrocento Florence and Beyond
THIS CLUSTER EXPLORES the interaction between language and its sociocultural use in quattrocento Florence. This has entailed a bottom-up view of the use and understanding of Latin and the volgare at a time when humanists were refashioning classical Latin into a powerful cultural and political tool. 1 All contributions take a close look at what quattrocento authors, translators, and speakers say about their choices to perform their texts in Latin …
