Edited by Vicki Ann Cremona Capitalising on Culture? Malta and the European Capital of Culture is a collection of papers that interrogate the state of culture in the Mediterranean Island of Malta, which in 2018 will also be the designated European Capital of Culture. This volume critically examines the scope and function of culture. Authors in this volume explore culture both in terms of the physical spaces in the island as well as culture in terms of the lived fabric of social life. As such the papers explore the state and significance of culture in terms of well-being social participation, community-formation and inclusivity. The authors address the potential of the European Capital of Culture, and the resources attached it, to leave a lasting legacy that can foster the growth of culture in a local context. -

Din il-kollezzjoni ta’ ħrejjef hija importanti fil-wirt folkloristiku ta’ Malta għaliex tikkonsisti fi stejjer tal-passat li l-antenati tagħna għaddew bil-fomm bejn ġenerazzjoni u oħra. Stumme għamel xogħol eċċellenti billi rrekordjahom eżatti kif semagħhom għax b’hekk għandna rikordju dirett ta’ kif kienu jitkellmu u jaħsbu l-Maltin tal-1903. Flimkien ma’ dawk li oriġinaw minn Malta, dawn il-ħrejjef jinkludu oħrajn li juru l-influwenza tal-barranin. Dawn l-istejjer oriġinalment ġew irrakkontati bid-djalett u Stumme kitibhom bil-lingwa fonetika. Grima qalbithom għall-Malti modern bit-tama li dawn l-istejjer isiru parti mill-edukazzjoni tal-Maltin. Lily Grima ltaqghet mal-kollezzjoni ta’ dawn l-istejjer waqt li kienet qed tagħmel riċerka fuq l-etnomużikoloġija ġo Goldsmiths College, Londra. Il-karriera prinċipali tagħha kienet fil-qasam tal-edukazzjoni bħala għalliema li tispeċjalizza fil-mużika. Bħalissa hija taħdem privatament bħala interpreta u traduttriċi. -

Author: Prof. Peter VassalloThe essays offered in this book explore some of the significant Romantic and post-Romantic constructions of Italy, its culture and history, beginning with Madame de Stael's seminal Corinne, ou l'Italie (1807), which would prove influential in the aesthetic imagery shaping and surrounding subsequent literary works about Italy. The Italian landscape and cultural scene invited both description and re-inscription by some of the prominent British writers of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, who were responding to the fascination exerted upon them by Italian culture generally. The chapters in this book consider the rich texture of this scene of literary and cultural influence, focusing on the perception, representation and appropriation of Italy by some major British writers of the period indicated, among them Lord Byron, Lady Morgan, Percy Shelley, John Keats, George Eliot, John Ruskin, E.M. Forster, D.H. Lawrence and W.B. Yeats.

Dan il-ktieb, Bl-Għasluġ tal-Ħsieb – Dun Karm, La Jixjieħ u la Jmut, huwa mixja analitika ta’ ġieħ għax juri l-kisbiet kbar kreattivi u intellettwali tal-Poeta Nazzjonali, Dun Karm (1871-1961). Dak li jippreżenta dan il-ktieb huma suġġerimenti ta’ kif il-poeżija Dunkarmjana tista’ taħdem fuqna. Dawn is-suġġerimenti mhumiex esklużivi, imma jistgħu jiġu ċċalinġjati jew jinbidlu; u forsi wkoll wieħed jista’ jibni fuqhom. Jingħata nebħ ta’ kif wieħed jista’ jikkonċettwalizza għala nistgħu nsibu l-poeżija ta’ Dun Karm siewja għalina llum. Minn dak li qed jiġi ppreżentat, il-qarrejja għandhom jintebħu li l-qari u r-riċerka (li kull qarja titlob minnhom) huma alleati ta’ xulxin. Aktar ma wieħed isir jaf kif taħdem il-poeżija ta’ Dun Karm, aktar wieħed jinfetaħ għall-effetti li jista’ jkollha. B’qari rriċerkat, il-poeżija ta’ Dun Karm tistagħna u l-qarrejja jkunu aktar involuti fiha. Il-qari analitiku juri li l-letteratura ta’ Dun Karm tinqeda bl-użu ta’ lingwa, xbihat, u ideat li huma mirqumin u xirqin. Il-poeżiji ta’ Dun Karm jinħassu li huma maħdumin bl-akbar sengħa, u bosta minnhom iwassluna għall-introspezzjoni għax iġagħluna naħsbu fuq il-ħajja b’mod differenti mis-soltu. Anki meta Dun Karm jibni poeżija fuq xi tensjoni, fiha naqraw ħjiel tal-kumplessità tat-tiġrib uman. Għalhekk il-ġabriet tal-poeżiji tiegħu narawhom bħala għerf akkumulat- fuq il-bniedem,
- għall-bniedem, u
- mill-bniedem.

Edited by: Charles BriffaTranslation Studies from Malta provides a guide to some approaches in translation studies with Maltese as one of the languages involved. It shows some of the developments of the field in the Maltese Islands and it tries to be of direct relevance to an understanding of the processes of translation and interpreting. At the same time it places a wide range of seminal material within its covers, thus presenting different strands and offering a relevant springboard for further research as scholars explore this multifaceted discipline. The book treats interpreting, the art of translation, translation as an experience, translating style, and terminology. Each chapter gives an in-depth account of certain concepts and issues which define translation studies and suggest further research. Contributors: Victor Bonanno, Charles Briffa, Rose Marie Caruana, Joseph Eynaud, Oliver Friggieri, Giselle Spiteri Miggiani, Gabrielle Lorraine Torpiano, Clare Vassallo, Paul Zahra and Michael Zammit.

Author: Prof. Charles BriffaOliver Friggieri is Professor of Maltese Literature at the University of Malta, and he is the foremost Maltese literary critic and a national author. He has published extensively and in his creative writing he attempts to intepret the sentiments and attitudes of a people living in the Central Mediterranean. The Essential Oliver Friggieri includes some translated works and implies that the selection is representative of Friggieri’s feelings, thoughts, and mind style in the source culture. It projects a compact, coherent image of him as a relevant contemporary national author: that is, as it embodies an image of some of his most characteristic works, the selection, with no particular arrangement in mind, tends to stabilise the sense among non-Maltese receptor readers of what constitutes the relevant literary output of Friggieri in a modern environment. Through the medium of literature Friggieri assumes the role of the conscience of a nation. He proclaims in traditional positive elements in his longer poetic works, but expresses present negative qualities in his ficton. His prose is not a weapon for war but a cry for justice and honesty. It is simple enough to retain the common readers’ attention and intriguing enough to involve their thinking.
