DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis collection takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of gendered technology, an emerging area of inquiry that draws on a range of fields to explore how technology is designed and used in a way that reinforces or challenges gender norms and inequalities. The volume explores different perspectives on the impact of technology on gender relations through specific cases of translation and interpreting technologies. In particular, the book considers the slow response of legal frameworks in dealing with the rise of language-based technologies, especially machine translation and large language models, and their impacts on individual and collective rights. Part I introduces the study of gendered technologies at this intersection of legal and translation and interpreting research, before moving into case studies of specific technologies. The cases explored in Parts II and III discuss the impact of interpreting and translation technologies on language professionals, language communities, and gender inequalities, while stressing the future needs of gendered technology, particularly machine translation. Taken together, the collection demonstrates the value of a cross-disciplinary approach in better understanding how language technologies can be harnessed to address discrimination and contribute to growing discussions on gender equality and social justice at the intersection of technology and translation. This book will be of interest to scholars in translation and interpreting studies, gender studies, language technologies, and language and the law.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKELF researchers have been describing the dynamic and fluid ways in which multilingual speakers shape English in transcultural communication for more than two decades now. While this work seriously challenges traditional, static, and prejudiced views of English, the diverse and variable nature of its uses and users continues to be undermined in many EFL programs around the world. This is also the case in many Latin American contexts, which have been described as fertile ground for native-speaker ideology, but where the body of ELF literature is still scarce when compared to Asian and European settings. This book is the first to bring together a series of empirical studies on the implications of ELF perspectives for communicative, educational, and policy-making practices across different Latin American countries. It not only explores how ELF perspectives can inform students and educators in these settings, but also how locally emerging voices, experiences, and research traditions can help expand ELF theorising as well. The volume generates new opportunities for dialogue and global collaboration between researchers and practitioners interested in ELF studies as a critical approach to English language use and education.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK¿Qué tienen en común Isabel la Católica, Teresa de Jesús, Clara Campoamor, Frida Khalo y Coco Chanel? Todas fueron mujeres excepcionales y vencieron las trabas de una sociedad que no favorecía el desarrollo de su talento por el mero hecho de ser mujer. Esta obra recoge los perfiles de 60 mujeres que vivieron entre el siglo XIV a. C: y 1978, muchas de ellas grandes desconocidas para el gran público. Todas ellas tenían condición de líderes, pero ejercieron ese liderazgo de manera muy diferente y no siempre de forma positiva. De cada una de ellas se extraen numerosas enseñanzas de completa actualidad para los profesionales de hoy, al margen de su sexo.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCuando mi padre fue diagnosticado con Esclerosis Lateral Ameotrófica -enfermedad de evolución muy rápida que iría paralizando sus músculos y le causaría la muerte- ya estaba completamente mudo, por lo que decidió escribir sus pensamientos y reflexiones y compartirlos por correo electrónico con un grupo íntimo de familiares y amigos. La Gaceta de mi Padre es una selección de los párrafos e ideas centrales de su mensaje y a diferencia de otros libros sobre personas que enfrentan una grave enfermedad concentrándose en la muerte, nos ofrece una perspectiva nueva y positiva: describe la vida como un privilegio. Escrito de una manera brillante y profunda, con humor, amor, espiritualidad y sabiduría cotidiana, sus palabras nos permiten conocerlo en su intimidad y reflexionar sobre nuestra propia vida y la actitud con que enfrentamos sus dificultades. Este pequeño libro contiene el mensaje extraordinario de un hombre común que decidió resistir la adversidad con dignidad, valentía y gratitud.
