This volume addresses the global reception of "untranslatable" concrete poetry. Featuring contributions from an international group of literary and translation scholars and practitioners, working across a variety of languages, the book views the development of the international concrete poetry movement through the lens of "transcreation", that is, the informed, creative response to the translation of playful, enigmatic, visual texts. Contributions range in subject matter from ancient Greek and Chinese pattern poems to modernist concrete poems from the Americas, Europe and Asia. This challenging body of experimental work offers creative challenges and opportunities to literary translators and unique pleasures to the sympathetic reader. Highlighting the ways in which literary influence is mapped across languages and borders, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of experimental poetry, translation studies and comparative literature.

This book examines literary representations of mainlander identity articulated by Taiwan's second-generation mainlander writers, who share the common feature of emotional ambivalence between Taiwan and China. Closely analyzing literary narratives of Chinese civil war migrants and their descendants in Taiwan, a group referred to as "mainlanders" (waishengren), this book demonstrates that these Chinese migrants' ideas of "China" and "Chineseness" have adapted through time with their gradual settlement in the host land. Drawing upon theories of Sinophone Studies and memory studies, this book argues that during the three decades in which Taiwan moved away from the Kuomintang's authoritarian rule to a democratic society, mainlander identity was narrated as a transformation from a diasporic Chinese identity to a more fluid and elusive Sinophone identity. Characterized by the features of cultural hybridity and emotional in-betweenness, mainlander identity in the eight works explored contests the existing Sinocentric discourse of Chineseness. An important contribution to the current research on Taiwan's identity politics, this book will be of interest to academics in the field of Taiwan studies, Sinophone studies, Chinese migration, and Taiwanese literature as well as Chinese literature in general.

Archiving Settler Colonialism: Culture, Race, and Space brings together 15 essays from across the globe, to capture a moment in settler colonial studies that turns increasingly towards new cultural archives for settler colonial research. Essays on hitherto under-examined materials-including postage stamps, musical scores, urban parks, and psychiatric records-reflect on how cultural texts archive moments of settler self-fashioning. Archiving Settler Colonialism also expands settler colonial studies' reach as an international academic discipline, bringing together scholarly research about the British breakaway settler colonies with underanalyzed non-white, non-Anglophone settler societies. The essays together illustrate settler colonial cultures as-for all their similarities-ultimately divergent constructions, locally situated and produced of specific power relations within the messy operations of imperial domination.

The First International Conference on Signal and Information Processing, Networking and Computers (ICSINC) focuses on the key technologies and challenges of signal and information processing schemes, network application, computer theory and application, etc. Topics in this conference include: Information TheoryThe work contains state-of-the-art research work in the field of information theory from traditional media coding theory, compressing and streaming theory to the latest quantum theory & statistics and big data analytics, featuring the most active research interests in this field. Communication SystemAs a traditional and fundamental aspect of the conference in the field of signal processing and networking, ICSINC publications includes research works focusing on physical layer transmission theory such as MIMO transmission, adaptive antenna theory, and radar and satellite transmission, etc. Research works in the field of SDN, wireless security and 5G related theories are also included. Computer ScienceThe conference also encompasses relevant topics in computer science such as AI & neural network, patter recognition & learning, and medical image processing etc. Other topics such as internet application, biometric & authentication are also included. WorkshopICSINC features workshops hosted by experts from the industrial world.

Dieses Buch befasst sich mit dem Passiv im Deutschen und Chinesischen und fuhrt einen korpusgestutzten Sprachvergleich durch. Passiv als eine Subkategorie des Genus Verbi tritt haufig in Fachtexten auf, deshalb liegt der Untersuchung eine Sammlung der Passivsatze aus chemischen Fachzeitschriften zugrunde. Durch parallele Analysen zum Passiv im Deutschen und Chinesischen analysiert die Autorin, welche Unterschiede und UEbereinstimmungen das Passiv in beiden Sprachen bei den lexikalisch-semantischen und syntaktischen Perspektiven besitzt. Die Ergebnisse dienen so auch den Sprachlehren und der Fachdidaktik.
