Social Media And Public Opinion In Times Of Conflict: How Arab Social Media Impacted International Perspectives On The Gaza War, Mariam Rizk

Theses and Dissertations

This exploratory study examines how Arab social media content creators impacted the international public perception of the 2023 Gaza war through English-language content. The research is conducted through semi-structured interviews with 19 participants: 4 Arab social media content creators and 15 English-speaking university students (13 American citizens and 2 international students studying in American universities). Through these semi-structured qualitative interviews, the research investigates the agenda-setting capabilities of social media during conflicts and identifies effective cross-cultural communication strategies. The study employed purposive sampling with snowball technique, targeting content creators with established social media presence (37,000-426,000 Instagram followers) and university students who …

Ideologi Di Balik Pidato Kenegaraan Peringatan Masirat Al-Hadraa Ke-49, Muhammad Sidqon Siroj

Multikultura

This study examines the 49th anniversary speech of the Green March (Masirat Al-Hadraa) as an ideological instrument within the political framework of the Kingdom of Morocco. The research reveals that the historical narrative of the Green March is reproduced not merely as collective memory, but as a strategic mechanism to consolidate monarchical legitimacy and assert territorial sovereignty over Western Sahara. Utilizing a qualitative methodology grounded in Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the findings demonstrate that King Mohammed VI’s discourse serves three primary functions: first, reinforcing the monarchy’s historical-religious and institutional authority amidst domestic and regional political pressures; second, …

Performing Democracy: Us-Ussr Exchange Debates And The Ethical Technologies Of Cold War Diplomacy, Brian Lain

Studies in Debate and Oratory

This essay examines the US-USSR exchange debates of the 1970s, organized by the Committee on International Discussion and Debate (CIDD), as a cultural technology integral to Cold War liberalism. Moving beyond traditional narratives of détente-era cultural diplomacy, it argues that these exchanges served not merely as tools of soft power but as ethical performances that modeled free speech as a central democratic conviction. Drawing on the frameworks of Greene & Hicks (2005), Hicks & Greene (2010, 2022), and a Foucauldian conception of diplomacy, the essay analyzes how debate functioned as a practice of liberal democratic subject formation, shaping both participants …

Considérations Pédagogiques Dans L’Enseignement Des Outils De Traduction : Le Cas De Memoq Et De Memoq Agt, Anna Mohácsi-Gorove

Al-Kīmiyā

The integration of computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools and translation management systems (TMS) into university-level translation programs has become an essential requirement. Among these tools, memoQ holds a significant position due to its advanced features and adaptability to pedagogical needs. This article explores the pedagogical parameters involved in teaching memoQ as part of translator training. It examines the target competencies outlined in the European Master’s in Translation Competence Framework, the teaching methodologies employed, course contents, and the integration of artificial intelligence in the learning process of post-editing skills.

Traduire La Créativité Lexicale En Littérature De Jeunesse : Enjeux, Stratégies Et Proposition D’Un Nouveau Cadre Méthodologique, Inès Zorgati

Al-Kīmiyā

Language plays are often considered untranslatable, but is this assumption justified? Lexical creativity presents numerous challenges for translators and raises compelling questions, particularly in children’s literature, where linguistic experimentation is especially abundant. However, the presumed untranslatability of language play stems largely from linguistic and cultural preconceptions. This article argues that lexical creativity is indeed translatable through a variety of strategies. It introduces a new methodological framework that outlines the strategies available to translators. This framework draws on the works of Jacqueline Henry (2003) and
B. J. Epstein (2012), which are combined and further developed to support this approach.

La Traduction Des Décisions De Justice Comme Acte De Communication : Étude Des Juridictions Constitutionnelles Sud-Américaines, Mathilde Kamal

Al-Kīmiyā

In unilingual states, translating constitutional court decisions is a voluntary, non-binding practice. Such disseminative translations aim to communicate jurisprudence beyond national borders. In South America, only Brazil’s Supremo Tribunal Federal and Colombia’s Corte Constitucional have adopted this approach. This article analyzes their respective translation practices at three levels: within the South American legal space, within their national contexts, and through the specific modalities by which their decisions are translated.

L’Extraction Terminologique Outillée À L’Épreuve De L’Expérimentation : Proposition D’Exercice Avec Des Étudiants En Traduction, Rudy Loock

Al-Kīmiyā

This article reports on a terminology extraction project conducted with second-year master’s students enrolled in a specialized translation program. Students engaged in terminological extraction tasks based on a specialized linguistic corpus, with four different tools: a computer-assisted translation (CAT) software, a concordancer, an online terminology extraction platform, and a large language model (LLM). Students were subsequently required to perform a comparative analysis of the outputs generated by each tool, with the ultimate objective of compiling a monolingual glossary. The article offers a reflective evaluation of the project, which aimed to develop students’ evaluative judgment on the results generated by the …

traduction littéraire, de traduction juridique ou d’analyse sociolinguistique,
les articles rassemblés ici mettent en lumière la manière dont les choix
langagiers reflètent, négocient ou redéfinissent des rapports de sens, de
pouvoir et d’appartenance.

Dossier Thématique : Introduction – La Formation Des Formateurs À L’Ère Des Mutations Technologiques Et Professionnelles, Nicolas Froeliger

Al-Kīmiyā

Des asymétries d'information dans le monde de la traduction – et comment y remédier

La traduction a longtemps eu la réputation d’être une activité (il ne s’agissait pas encore d’une profession) de solitaire. Les traducteurs étaient vus, et c’est même un classique de l’iconographie chrétienne, comme travaillant retirés du monde, désert ou chambre isolée, concentrés sur la tâche qui consistait à extraire le sens ou le message d’un texte original, avec pour seule aide quelques grimoires, et éventuellement l’inspiration divine, qui leur parvenait d’une haute fenêtre. Tous les traducteurs d’aujourd’hui savent bien qu’il n’en est rien, et ceux qui ont …

L’Intégration De L’Ia Dans La Formation Des Traducteur·Ices : Évolution Sous Double Contrainte ? Le Cas De L’Université De Liège (Belgique), Valérie Bada, Perrine Schumacher

Al-Kīmiyā

This article focuses on integrating AI into the translation curriculum at the University of Liège, a challenge that must accommodate academic, legal and market-driven demands. Given that the ULiège translation programme has both academic and vocational grounding, the institutional politics has aimed at developing a critical awareness of the market demands (focusing on targeted, technical skills) and of scientific methods (based on a rigorous, metareflexive approach). It also fits into the changing landscape of translation education, shaped by pressures from three distinct spheres: academia, the professional market, and the legislative framework. After outlining our department’s history and presenting four courses …

روميو وجولييت: تعدّد النهايات – دراسة مقارنة لأربع ترجمات وفقًا لمقاربة لانس هيوسن, Nour Nasrani Snaifer, May Hobeika Haddad

Al-Kīmiyā

This article presents a comparative study of four translations of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet produced during three major phases in the history of Arab theatre in general, and of Lebanese theatre in Lebanon and Egypt in particular. It focuses on the diversity of the endings chosen by the translators, which vary according to the sociocultural context of each period as well as the way both audiences and theatre practitioners have perceived the role of theatre. The article reports the results of a comprehensive analysis that is not limited to the endings and that follows Hewson’s approach to translation criticism. The …

La Créativité Et Ses Fonctions Sociales Face À L’Usage De L’Ia Générative, Caroline Rossi, Perrine Schumacher

Al-Kīmiyā

This article asks whether creativity will still be a key skill for translators in the future, as we move towards ubiquitous and more diversified uses of generative AI. The focus is primarily on creativity in translation. Instead, creativity is here conceptualised as a soft skill, crucially linked with a number of social functions. We hypothesise that if the development of creative skills is linked to technical skills and accompanied by critical reflection on the latter, it could be one of the cornerstones of training programmes aimed at future proofing translators faced with rapidly changing professional environments.

Former Les Traducteurs (Et/Ou Interprètes) Assermentés Exerçant Près Des Cours De Justice Françaises : L’Exemple De L’École D’Été Tacatrad « Expertise Et Terminologie », Florence Serrano

Al-Kīmiyā

In France, there are various public and private entities offering training courses for sworn translators, including some universities. In this paper, we will report on one such course, the first edition of which was held in July 2024 in Lyon, the TACATrad Summer School “Expertise and Terminology. Training Sworn Translators”. This short training course, coordinated administratively by the Continuing Education Department and the UFR des Langues of the Université Lumière Lyon 2, was created by the author of the communication and is backed by the open science component of the ANR PRC project TACATrad. We will briefly present the ANR …

La Traduction Audiovisuelle Freelance Aujourd’Hui – Réalités Professionnelles Et Écarts Avec La Théorie, Sylvain Caschelin, Julie Gravier

Al-Kīmiyā

This article examines the realities of working as a freelance audiovisual translator through the lens of the EMT (European Master’s in Translation) framework. By tracing the workflow – from client requests to the recognition of subtitled works – it highlights the gap between theory and practice, including issues such as economic insecurity, delayed payments, fragile contracts, and the general invisibility of translators. The study argues that professionalization requires more than linguistic expertise alone; it also demands a wider range of skills, including administrative, legal, and interpersonal competencies. Finally, it calls for stronger regulation and greater symbolic and economic recognition of …

Imc Strategies Of K-Expo 2024: Localizing Korean Agro & Fisheries, Dharma Dhyana Dd, Helga Liliani Cakra Dewi Hlcd, Kristina Nurhayati

JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

The global rise of the Korean Wave (Hallyu) has created a significant market for Korean products in Indonesia, one of its key export destination. While Korean food (K-Food) is popular, Korean seafood (K-Seafood) remains relatively unknown, presenting a unique marketing challenge. This study examines the Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) strategies implemented by K-EXPO 2024 to localize and promote K-Seafood to Indonesian consumers, addressing key challenges such as low product awareness and the prevalent stereotype of K-Food being non-halal. Employing a qualitative approach, this research draws on in-depth interviews with key practitioners, including the K-EXPO 2024 Project Head and Promotion Manager, …

Brute Force Branding: Variations & Repetitions Of The Almighty Dollar Banknote, Rui-Long Monico

Artl@s Bulletin

Abstract: This paper examines the U.S. dollar as a global brand and mythic icon, revealing how its stable aesthetic asserts dominance and infiltrates daily life. Through visual analysis and global comparison, it shows how banknotes are battlegrounds where art, identity, and geopolitics collide—currency as a weapon of soft power and cultural hegemony. The dollar’s visual inertia—ritualized, repeated, reappropriated—cements its supremacy as a symbolic force, where repetition enforces authority and variation sparks both resistance and conformity. Banknotes emerge as tools of statecraft and vessels of collective memory, as reflected in the author’s bespoke creation accompanying this study.
