DOCTORAL THESIS by Mercedes Enríquez-Aranda
BOOKS by Mercedes Enríquez-Aranda
The translation of books in the philosophical and sociopolitical fields is professionally framed in Spain within editorial translation. Although this translation activity represents an important part of editorial production in the current Spanish market, until now little attention has been paid to its theoretical study, to its study in relation to the professional demands and competences that define the task of the translator, and to its study from a teaching methodological perspective. This is, therefore, a pioneering reference work for researchers, professional translators, teachers and students especially interested in translation for the publishing world in these fields.
It is also structured in an innovative way that is consistent with the need for knowledge transfer in a double flow between university and business.
The book begins with an identification of the origin of the translation of philosophical and sociopolitical texts and then traces the path that these translations follow until their publication in the publishing market, also addressing the analysis of the specific professional skills that allow the translator of these texts to carry out a wide range of tasks related not only to the cultural and ideological load that must be calibrated, but also to a large extent to the context in which their activity is inserted and to the participants in the translation process.
EDITED BOOKS by Mercedes Enríquez-Aranda
The experience “The school library: open space for training and generator of social value” developed in a school in the province of Malaga, CEIP San Agustín (El Burgo), and in three other schools in the capital of Malaga (CEIP Fuente Alegre, CEIP Nuevo Guadaljaire and Colegio Los Olivos) during the 2022-2023 academic year was a creative learning experience for teachers and students with very encouraging results.
Based on this experience and the results obtained in it, its evolution in the classrooms was designed and the collaborative project “Read, imagine and create: tell me about it yourself” was implemented during the 2023-2024 academic year.
The result of this experience was not assessed in statistical terms; Rather, it has been left to the discretion of the recipient of this book to provide this assessment, since the following pages show the stories that each of the school groups worked on collaboratively in class.
