Narratives of Translators: The Translational Function of Prisoner Writing

ABSTRACT Prison is a marginal space that is hidden from society, and life writing by prisoners thus offers valuable insights into prison life. This paper examines prisoner writing, as a genre neglected by academia, focusing on how the prisoner-writer describes imprisonment to the non-prisoner reader. My analysis explores Davies’s (1990. Writers in Prison. Oxford: Blackwell) assertion that prisoner writing represents an act of translation. Drawing on Doloughan’s (2016. English as a Literature in Translation. London: Bloomsbury) description of ‘narratives of translation’ that stem from multilingual and multicultural life experiences, I theorise that the prisoner-writer can be likened to a translator. In exploring this assertion, I employ archival research to compile a corpus of short stories about prison, written by UK prisoners, and published via periodicals and competitions. My reading of these texts centres on the presence of diegetic translators who fulfil a translational role, describing prison life to other characters and to the non-prisoner reader. I produce a typology of these translators, and examine how they establish their authority and credibility to translate prison life, to understand how prisoner-writers conceive of the carceral authorial process. My analysis offers further evidence of the translational function of prisoner writing, and demonstrates the value of reading life writing through the lens of translation.

Building The Youths Characters Through Strengthening Of Hindu Religious Education

<p>This study aims to find an increase in the role of Hindu religious education in building the humanist and pluralist youth characters. Youth is a transition from childhood to adulthood, wherein the development phase has to undergo various tensions, one of them is emotional tension resulting from relationships.

From globalization to post-globalization: enclaves of augmented modernity and prospects of social development

The article presents an attempt to reconceptualize social development and to measure its level for societies facing the post-globalization as globalizing networks and flows paradoxically are localized in super-urban areas. The economic and social divide between the group of the largest cities and the rest of the world supports the idea that globalization has resulted not in the ‘world society’ or ‘worldwide sociality’ but rather in networked enclaves of globality where people experience borderless, multicultural, and mobile social life in the regime of augmented modernity. In the post-globalization age, the ‘core’ of socioeconomic order is dispersed into networks of enclaves of augmented modernity contrasting with exhausted modernity outside them. The nations’ prospects of social development depend on number, size, and influence of cosmopolitan super-urban areas attracting and generating transnational material, human, and symbolic flows. The super-urbanization index is elaborated to measure nations’ prospects under post-globalization conditions. Traditional indices of standard of living and quality of life have to be augmented in the new theoretical model and system of empirical indicators of social development under post-globalization conditions.

Representation of Multiculturalism and the Wu Lun Teaching In the Indonesian Movie “Cek Toko Sebelah”

The conflict between ethnic and moral decadence are two negative effects of Globalization era that currently occur in Indonesian society. Two things cause it; first, Tunggal Ika has been forgotten as the local Wisdom of the Indonesian nation that can manage the life of this multiethnic society wisely. Secondly, moral coaching in the scope of the family as the most important social institution in society is not successful. From time to time it will paralyze the strength of a country. The Story in the Cek Toko Sebelah (meaning: Please check it in next store) movie implies one of China's teachings to build ideal relationships in family and community life. This is in stark contrast to the ethnic Chinese stereotype in Indonesia, which is always associated with the issue of economic inequality that often leads to discriminatory treatment and leads to conflict between ethnic groups. The representation of the moral values is interesting to study by using semiotic of Roland Barthes. The results of this discussion revealed that the movie Cek Toko Sebelah is able to represent accommodative multicultural life with a humorous style. One of the thousands of years old Chinese ideologies is still relevant applied in the story line of today's movies, but its application is adapted to today life, especially about the equality of women and men in the modern era. The happy ending of the story in this film can be an inspiration that tolerance in ethnic diversity is actually easy to do and will result in harmonious social relationships. It can be an inspiration that single Bhinneka must be applied in social life so that the Indonesian state remains united.
