Resumen: Songs of all types as a distinct artistic genre can be very informative means of understanding the cultural and social construct of a given society. Like poetry, especially the oral form, which heavily relies on colloquialism, as is the case within a Jordanian context, songs can bear cultural, and historical allusions, genealogy, and mythology, in some cultures to be performed on related contemporary occasions. The present study is an attempt to analyze the social, cultural and historic allusions, linguistically interwoven in national and patriotic songs to reflect a massive feeling as the content of an artistic aspect of the ordinary people's everyday life. Due to cultural and social distinctiveness, as mainly expressed in colloquial Arabic expressions, such type of songs can create gaps hard to bridge in translation. Therefore, the study tries to shed light into those problems posed in translating national songs, which are richly loaded with colloquial expressions, to a target audience.

Resumen: In this book Umberto Eco argues that translation is not about comparing two languages, but about the interpretation of a text in two different languages, thus involving a shift between cultures. An author whose works have appeared in many languages, Eco is also the translator of Gérard de Nerval's Sylvie and Raymond Queneau's Exercices de style from French into Italian. In Experiences in Translation he draws on his substantial practical experience to identify and discuss some central problems of translation. As he convincingly demonstrates, a translation can express an evident deep sense of a text even when violating both lexical and referential faithfulness. Depicting translation as a semiotic task, he uses a wide range of source materials as illustration: the translations of his own and other novels, translations of the dialogue of American films into Italian, and various versions of the Bible. In the second part of his study he deals with translation theories proposed by Jakobson, Steiner, Peirce, and others. Overall, Eco identifies the different types of interpretive acts that count as translation. An enticing new typology emerges, based on his insistence on a common-sense approach and the necessity of taking a critical stance.

Resumen: "(...) Vamos a emprender un estudio de una obra africana, L'Ex-père de la nation, de Aminata Sow Fall, aplicando los pensamientos sobre la traducción de Benjamin (a través de las lecturas e interpretaciones de Carol Jacobs y Paul de Man). Sow Fall es una escritora senegalesa y ésta es su cuarta obra. Todos sus trabajos versan sobre la sociedad contemporánea africana y sobre el choque entre las prácticas tradicionales y las corrientes modernizadoras de las naciones en vías de industrialización. En The Former Father of the Nation (traducción al inglés de la obra), Madiama, un hombre normal y honrado, ha accedido a la presidencia de su país por aclamación popular. Aunque sus intenciones son buenas, no posee la habilidad maquiavélica para tratar con sus consejeros hambrientos de poder ni la capacidad necesaria para sacar a su país de la situación económica que ha heredado. La historia es, pues, una crónica del fracaso de un gobernante desinteresado".
