The Translator, 2023

The prevalence and popularity of audiovisual content in the current times has resulted in a wide range of practices which have been categorised within audiovisual translation (AVT) research as examples of fan translation, amateur translation, crowdsourcing or collaborative translation, among others. While some practices can be included under these categories, other forms of AVT that have recently emerged are not as clear-cut. Against this backdrop, this article explores the conceptual uncertainties surrounding these new AVT practices, with a focus on dubbing and subtitling, by revisiting the work carried out by the authors, who have previously suggested the use of the umbrella terms 'cybersubtitling' and 'cyberdubbing'. In addition to providing a revised classification, the paper emphasises the need to explore the wider social and ethical consequences of these innovative translational activities. As regards ethical implications, altruist and fan practices are the ones most exposed to malpractice, often because some organisations emulate corporate behaviour but rely on free labour, without any financial retribution or credit towards those involved in these activities. The article also concludes that more critical research should be conducted to unravel the impact of these practices on the role of translation as a socio-professional activity.

RUHANİ KÜLTÜRÜMÜZ VE AB SÜRECİYLE UYUM SORUNU , 2011

The geopolitical position and cultural legacy of Turkey makes Turkey’s progress towards accession to the EU difficult. As a result of this, human rights issues such as freedom of religion, property rights and training of clergy in Turkey took an important part almost in every accession reports. But these problems do not have the grounds to stop the negotiation process and full membership to the EU. But it seems that if the negotiation slows down or stops The Turkish cultural legacy would be shown as the main reason for this negative development. This would eventually lead to an increase in radical Islamic and nationalist movements and they will gain more social status and political power in all parts of life. If this process continuous with a successful membership, the traditional Muslim and Christian minds which based on historical hostility feelings will change and leave its place to the more peaceful feelings. In the case of a successful membership, a new European Islamic thought will rise under the leadership of Turkey. Key Words: Turkey, European Union, religious minorities, European Islam, terror. ÖZET Türkiye’nin jeopolitik konumu ve sahip olduğu kültürel miras, Avrupa Birliği sürecinin diğer üye ülkelerle olduğu gibi doğal bir seyir izlemesini engellemektedir. Bundan dolayıdır ki, ruhanî kültürümüzle ilgili konular ilerleme raporlarında geniş bir yer tutmaktadır. Özellikle Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı’nın yapısı, azınlıkların dinî, siyasi ve sosyal hakları ana başlıkları oluşturmaktadır. Ancak bu sorunlar, Türkiye’nin Avrupa Birliği sürecini olumsuz neticelendirecek bir güce sahip değildir. Buna rağmen sürecin olumsuz neticelenmesi durumunda –esas sebep olmasa da– Türkiye’nin kültürel mirası bunun esas sebebi olarak mütalaa edilecek ve radikal akımların hem sosyal hem de siyasi alanda güç kazanmalarına yol açılacaktır. Sürecin olumlu işlemesi durumunda ise karşıtlık psikolojisi üzerine kurulmuş olan Müslümanlık ve Hristiyanlık, bir değişim sürecine girerek daha barışçı bir düşüncenin doğmasına vesile olacaktır. Sonuç olarak Türkiye’nin üyeliğinin olumlu sonuçlanması durumunda, diğer İslâm ülkelerini de etkisi altına alabilen bir Avrupaî İslâm modeli ortaya çıkacak ve bu modelin öncüsü Türkiye Cumhuriyeti olacaktır. Anahtar Kelimeler: Türkiye, Avrupa Birliği, dinî azınlıklar, Avrupai İslâm, terör.

XV, është pak i njohur për aktivitetet e tij të tjera dhe sidomos për lidhjet e jashtëzakonshme shoqërore e rrjetet e tij sociale. Në këtë shkrim hidhet dritë pikërisht mbi këto rrjete sociale.

Këto lidhje diplomatike dhe politike, që ai kishte me pushtetet më të larta politike të kohës, i mundësuan atij një reputacion të pakontestueshëm në gjithë Europën e asaj kohe.

Librat e tij, ata që zotëronte, por edhe idetë e tij, krijojnë gjithashtu një rrjet social më vete, që vazhdon të ekzistojë edhe sot e kësaj dite.

Enactive cognitive science combines questions in epistemology, ontology, and ethics by conceiving of bodies as open-ended and mutually transforming through activity. While enaction is not a theory of ethics, it can contribute to its foundations. We present a schematization of enactive ideas that underlie traditional distinctions between Being, Knowing, and Doing. Ethics in this scheme begins in the relation between knowing and becoming. Critical of dichotomous thinking, we approach the questions of alterity and ethical reality. Alterity is relevant to the enactive approach, but not in the radical sense of transcendental arguments. We propose difference, instead, as a more generative concept. Following Simondon, we see norms and values manifest in webs of past and future acts together with their potentialities for becoming. We propose a transindividual concept of moral attunement that includes ethical know-how and consciousness raising. Through generative difference and attunement to configurations of becoming, enaction underpins an ethics of participation linking virtue ethics and ethics of care.
