When the long-time Soviet leader Iosif Stalin died in March 1953, China was in the midst of a social transformation that was generating widespread anxiety and social tensions. Such sentiments were reflected in 30 reports compiled by Xinhua reporters of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) concerning ordinary Chinese citizens' reactions to the death of Stalin. Some Chinese citizens had supported Stalin and, by extension, the CCP and were anxious about the CCP's ability to survive and rule in an uncertain post-Stalin world. Others were happy to see Stalin's departure and waited hopefully for the collapse of the CCP. This article assesses the wide range of opinions as reflected in the CCP's internal reports.

There is an increasingly urgent need for international students to learn and use loanwords in intercultural communication. Chinese loanwords in international Chinese textbooks have certain research value. With the textbook Development Chinese Intermediate synthesis as the investigation object and the Xinhua Dictionary of Loanable Words as the retrieval tool, the analysis of the Chinese loanwords is conducted by data analysis. It is found that the number of Chinese loanwords in the textbook is considerable, rich in etymology and diverse in parts of speech. Chinese loanwords have cultural characteristics, which can see the development and evolution of Chinese, understand the language and cultural differences of different ethnic groups, reduce the adverse factors of international Chinese teaching, and promote the effective development of cross-cultural exchanges.

To investigate the effect of nitrogen (N) application on the carbon metabolism and yield of flag leaves and grains of spring wheat under drip irrigation in Xinjiang, a split-zone design was adopted from 2020 to 2021, with strong-gluten wheat, Xinchun 37 (XC37), and medium-gluten wheat, Xinchun 6 (XC 6), as the main zones and different nitrogen application rates as the sub-zones. Four nitrogen application rates of 0, 210, 255, and 300 kg·ha−1 (CK2, B1, A1, and CK1, respectively) were set to analyze and compare the nitrogen response of key enzyme activity, soluble sugar, and sucrose and starch content in flag leaves and grains to control yield formation. The results showed that with the increase in nitrogen application, the activities of sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) and sucrose synthase (SS) in flag leaves; the activities of SS, adenosine diphosphate glucose pyrophosphorylase (ADPG-PPase), soluble starch synthase (SSS), granule-bound starch synthase (GBSS), and starch branching enzyme (SBE) in grains; the contents of soluble sugar and sucrose in the flag leaves; and the yield, all first increased and then decreased. There is a significant difference between A1 (255 kg·ha−1) and the CK1 (300 kg·ha−1), B1 (210 kg·ha−1), and CK2 (0 kg·ha−1) treatments under the above indicators, with increases of 8–158%, 9–155%, 8–53%, 5–63%, 3–86%, 3–57%, 9–79%, 9–197%, and 9–113%, as well as higher levels of amylose, amylopectin, and total starch content than other treatments by 2–30%, 11–84%, and 8–63%, respectively. Correlation and stepwise regression analyses indicated highly a significant positive correlation between the yield and soluble sugar and sucrose of flag leaves and grains, as well as their key enzymes and starch. Among them, soluble sugar in grains, amylopectin, and sucrose in grains have the greatest impact on the yield of XC37, determining 85% of its yield. SSS, soluble sugars in grains, amylopectin, and SBE have the greatest impact on the yield of XC 6, determining 80% of its yield. The starch showed a highly significant positive correlation with ADPG-PPase, SSS, GBSS, and SBE. There was a significant interaction effect between the nitrogen application rate and variety, with better performance observed in Xinchun 37 compared to Xinchun 6. Under drip irrigation conditions in arid areas, a nitrogen application of 255 kg·ha−1 can effectively regulate the metabolism of sucrose to starch in the flag leaves and grains of spring wheat, which is conducive to the accumulation of starch in grains and the formation of yield.

Hong Kong has seen an upheaval in recent years. From the protests over the extradition law to the protests over the National Security Law, these protests are a response to the ever-encroaching hand of Beijing on political rights in Hong Kong. After the National Security Law was implemented, Hong Kong’s freedom was almost gone. One by one, pro-democracy protesters, opposition parliament members, and opposition media are being targeted and repressed. Despite the numerous protests and riots, the Hong Kong SAR government perseveres with little concession to the protesters. Why does the government of Hong Kong decided not to respect Hong Kong’s unique democratic system in China, arguably the system that has brought Hong Kong to one of the most prominent cities in the world for global interactions, and instead wish to turn it into another normal Chinese city? Why does the Hong Kong SAR government almost completely ignore the voice of the Hong Kong people? Using the framework developed by Bruce Bueno de Mesquita and Alastair Smith in The Dictator’s Handbook, I argue that the small size of Hong Kong’s governing coalition (i.e., the minimum amount of support required for the leader to stay in power) and the ease in which the Chief Executive of Hong Kong rewards her allies play a significant role in this democratic backsliding. Furthermore, while the Western World reacted in outrage over this undemocratic encroachment of Beijing on Hong Kong, I argue that their sanctions on Hong Kong leaders will not play a significant role as the Chief Executive of Hong Kong does not need their support.

It is over one year since COVID-19 broke out. The whole world is still struggling against the virulent pandemic COVID-19. It is still difficult to take international travel. Many conferences are held virtually, for the sake of protecting all the participants and conference staff from get infected by the virus. It is uncertain when the COVID-19 will end, so it remains unclear for postponement time, while many scholars and researchers wanted to attend this long-waited conference and have academic exchanges with their peers. Therefore, in order to actively respond the call of the government, and meet author’s request, 2021 2nd International Conference on Signal Processing and Computer Science (SPCS 2021), which was planned to be held in Qingdao, China from August 20 to 22, was changed to be held online through Zoom software. This approach not only avoids people gathering, but also meets their communication needs. The SPCS 2021 was organized by AEIC Academic Exchange Information Center. It dedicated to create a platform for academic communications between specialists and scholars in the fields of Signal Processing and Computer Science. The conference created a path to establish a research relation for the authors and listeners with opportunities for collaboration and networking among the universities and institutions for promoting research and developing technologies. The conference brings together about 90 well-known scholars in the field of Signal Processing and Computer Science at home and abroad. The reports were divided into keynote speeches, oral presentations, and poster presentations to share their latest research results and experiences in related research fields. In the first part, each keynote speakers were allocated 30 minutes to present their talks via Zoom. After the keynote talks, all participants joined in a WeChat communication group to discuss more about the talks and presentations. We were greatly honor to have invited seven distinguished experts as our keynote speakers. Prof. Roberto Montemanni, from University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy was the first one to perform a thought-provoking speech: Artificial Intelligence Applications in Logistics. And then we had Assoc. Prof. Lingling An, from Xidian University, China. She presented an insightful speech: Enhancement Mechanism of Cerebellar Neural Network Dynamics. Prof. Xinsong Yang, from Sichuan University, China. He made a wonderful speech: Synchronization And Control for Differential Equations with Discontinuous State on the Right-Hand Sides. Prof. Xinhua Tang, from Southeast University, China. His research topics include GNSS receiver techniques, GNSS/INS integrated navigation system, Multi-source integration systems, Precision agriculture, Autonomous vehicles etc. Prof. Haibin Zhu, from Nipissing University, Canada. He delivered a speech: E-CARGO and Role-Based Collaboration. Assoc. Prof. Marcin Paprzycki, from Systems Research Institute, Polish Academy of Sciences, Poland. His original research interests were in the area of high performance computing / parallel computing / computational mathematics. Over time, they shifted towards intelligent systems, software agents and agent systems, and application of semantic technologies, among others. Our finale keynote speaker, Prof. Hoshang Kolivand, from Liverpool John Moores University, UK was invited to perform a speech: Current and Future of Directions of Augmented and Virtual Reality. Their insightful speeches had triggered heated discussion in the third session of the conference. The WeChat discussion lasted for about 30 minutes. Every participant praised this conference for disseminating useful and insightful knowledge. We are glad to share with you that we received lots of submissions from the conference and we selected a bunch of high-quality papers and compiled them into the proceedings after rigorously reviewed them. These papers feature following topics but are not limited to: Signal Processing, Applications of Signal Processing, Communication and Broadband Networks, Computational Science and other relevant directions. All the papers have been through rigorous review and process to meet the requirements of international publication standard. We would like to thank the organization staff, the members of the program committees and reviewers. They have worked very hard in reviewing papers and making valuable suggestions for the authors to improve their work. We also would like to express our gratitude to the external reviewers, for providing extra help in the review process, and the authors for contributing their research result to the conference. Lastly, we would like to warmly thank all the authors who, with their presentations and papers, generously contributed to the lively exchange of scientific information that is so vital to the endurance of scientific conferences of this kind.

AbstractWestern scholars’ and policy analysts’ attention to the expansion of China’s media abroad has focused on the state’s strategy of soft power behind the global spread of institutions such as Xinhua and China Central Television, on the propagandistic image of China that these institutions seek to project in their foreign-language programming, and on the potential damage to media freedom in Africa and elsewhere. No attention has been paid to the reverse: how the emergence of a global network of Chinese correspondents impacts dominant Chinese views of the world and China’s place in it. The ethnographic research project on which this article is based reverses this lens, seeking to understand how Chinese journalists who report for PRC media from abroad see their work, what stories about the world they want to tell Chinese audiences about the world and how their choices are shaped by state policies, institutional pressures and individual preferences. Its preliminary conclusion is that while the lifestyles of the new generation of correspondents are increasingly cosmopolitan, this does not necessarily translate into more innovative or reflexive reporting.

IntroductionIn this article, I set out to accomplish two tasks. The first is to map coffee and cafés in Mainland China in different historical periods. The second is to focus on coffee and cafés in the socio-cultural milieu of contemporary China in order to understand the symbolic value of the emerging coffee/café-scape. Cafés, rather than coffee, are at the centre of this current trend in contemporary Chinese cities. With instant coffee dominating as a drink, the Chinese have developed a cultural and social demand for cafés, but have not yet developed coffee palates. Historical Coffee Map In 1901, coffee was served in a restaurant in the city of Tianjin. This restaurant, named Kiessling, was run by a German chef, a former solider who came to China with the eight-nation alliance. At that time, coffee was reserved mostly for foreign politicians and military officials as well as wealthy businessmen—very few ordinary Chinese drank it. (For more history of Kiessling, including pictures and videos, see Kiessling). Another group of coffee consumers were from the cultural elites—the young revolutionary intellectuals and writers with overseas experience. It was almost a fashion among the literary elite to spend time in cafés. However, this was negatively judged as “Western” and “bourgeois.” For example, in 1932, Lu Xun, one of the most important twentieth century Chinese writers, commented on the café fashion during 1920s (133-36), and listed the reasons why he would not visit one. He did not drink coffee because it was “foreigners’ food”, and he was too busy writing for the kind of leisure enjoyed in cafés. Moreover, he did not, he wrote, have the nerve to go to a café, and particularly not the Revolutionary Café that was popular among cultural celebrities at that time. He claimed that the “paradise” of the café was for genius, and for handsome revolutionary writers (who he described as having red lips and white teeth, whereas his teeth were yellow). His final complaint was that even if he went to the Revolutionary Café, he would hesitate going in (Lu Xun 133-36). From Lu Xun’s list, we can recognise his nationalism and resistance to what were identified as Western foods and lifestyles. It is easy to also feel his dissatisfaction with those dilettante revolutionary intellectuals who spent time in cafés, talking and enjoying Western food, rather than working. In contrast to Lu Xun’s resistance to coffee and café culture, another well-known writer, Zhang Ailing, frequented cafés when she lived in Shanghai from the 1920s to 1950s. She wrote about the smell of cakes and bread sold in Kiessling’s branch store located right next to her parents’ house (Yuyue). Born into a wealthy family, exposed to Western culture and food at a very young age, Zhang Ailing liked to spend her social and writing time in cafés, ordering her favourite cakes, hot chocolate, and coffee. When she left Shanghai and immigrated to the USA, coffee was an important part of her writing life: the smell and taste reminding her of old friends and Shanghai (Chunzi). However, during Zhang’s time, it was still a privileged and elite practice to patronise a café when these were located in foreign settlements with foreign chefs, and served mainly foreigners, wealthy businessmen, and cultural celebrities. After 1949, when the Chinese Communist Party established the People’s Republic of China, until the late 1970s, there were no coffee shops in Mainland China. It was only when Deng Xiaoping suggested neo-liberalism as a so-called “reform-and-open-up” economic policy that foreign commerce and products were again seen in China. In 1988, ten years after the implementation of Deng Xiaoping’s policy, the Nestlé coffee company made the first inroads into the mainland market, featuring homegrown coffee beans in Yunnan province (China Beverage News; Dong; ITC). Nestlé’s bottled instant coffee found its way into the Chinese market, avoiding a direct challenge to the tea culture. Nestlé packaged its coffee to resemble health food products and marketed it as a holiday gift suitable for friends and relatives. As a symbol of modernity and “the West”, coffee-as-gift meshed with the traditional Chinese cultural custom that values gift giving. It also satisfied a collective desire for foreign products (and contact with foreign cultures) during the economic reform era. Even today, with its competitively low price, instant coffee dominates coffee consumption at home, in the workplace, and on Chinese airlines. While Nestlé aimed their product at native Chinese consumers, the multinational companies who later entered China’s coffee market, such as Sara Lee, mainly targeted international hotels such as IHG, Marriott, and Hyatt. The multinationals also favoured coffee shops like Kommune in Shanghai that offered more sophisticated kinds of coffee to foreign consumers and China’s upper class (Byers). If Nestlé introduced coffee to ordinary Chinese families, it was Starbucks who introduced the coffee-based “third space” to urban life in contemporary China on a signficant scale. Differing from the cafés before 1949, Starbucks stores are accessible to ordinary Chinese citizens. The first in Mainland China opened in Beijing’s China World Trade Center in January 1999, targeting mainly white-collar workers and foreigners. Starbucks coffee shops provide a space for informal business meetings, chatting with friends, and relaxing and, with its 500th store opened in 2011, dominate the field in China. Starbucks are located mainly in the central business districts and airports, and the company plans to have 1,500 sites by 2015 (Starbucks). Despite this massive presence, Starbucks constitutes only part of the café-scape in contemporary Chinese cities. There are two other kinds of cafés. One type is usually located in universities or residential areas and is frequented mainly by students or locals working in cultural professions. A representative of this kind is Sculpting in Time Café. In November 1997, two years before the opening of the first Starbucks in Beijing, two newlywed college graduates opened the first small Sculpting in Time Café near Beijing University’s East Gate. This has been expanded into a chain, and boasts 18 branches on the Mainland. (For more about its history, see Sculpting in Time Café). Interestingly, both Starbucks and Sculpting in Time Café acquired their names from literature, Starbucks from Moby Dick, and Sculpting in Time from the Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky’s film diary of the same name. For Chinese students of literature and the arts, drinking coffee is less about acquiring more energy to accomplish their work, and more about entering a sensual world, where the aroma of coffee mixes with the sounds from the coffee machine and music, as well as the lighting of the space. More importantly, cafés with this ambience become, in themselves, cultural sites associated with literature, films, and music. Owners of this kind of café are often lovers of foreign literatures, films, and cultures, and their cafés host various cultural events, including forums, book clubs, movie screenings, and music clubs. Generally speaking, coffee served in this kind of café is simpler than in the kind discussed below. This third type of café includes those located in tourist and entertainment sites such as art districts, bar areas, and historical sites, and which are frequented by foreign and native tourists, artists and other cultural workers. If Starbucks cultivates a fast-paced business/professional atmosphere, and Sculpting in Time Cafés an artsy and literary atmosphere, this third kind of café is more like an upscale “bar” with trained baristas serving complicated coffees and emphasising their flavour. These coffee shops are more expensive than the other kinds, with an average price three times that of Starbucks. Currently, cafés of this type are found only in “first-tier” cities and usually located in art districts and tourist areas—such as Beijing’s 798 Art District and Nanluo Guxiang, Shanghai’s Tai Kang Road (a.k.a. “the art street”), and Hangzhou’s Westlake area. While Nestlé and Starbucks use coffee beans grown in Yunnan provinces, these “art cafés” are more inclined to use imported coffee beans from suppliers like Sara Lee. Coffee and Cafés in Contemporary China After just ten years, there are hundreds of cafés in Chinese cities. Why has there been such a demand for coffee or, more accurately, cafés, in such a short period of time? The first reason is the lack of “third space” environments in Mainland China. Before cafés appeared in the late 1990s, stores like KFC (which opened its first store in 1987) and McDonald’s (with its first store opened in 1990) filled this role for urban residents, providing locations where customers could experience Western food, meet friends, work, or read. In fact, KFC and McDonald’s were once very popular with college students looking for a place to study. Both stores had relatively clean food environments and good lighting. They also had air conditioning in the summer and heating in the winter, which are not provided in most Chinese university dormitories. However, since neither chain was set up to be a café and customers occupying seats for long periods while ordering minimal amounts of food or drink affected profits, staff members began to indirectly ask customers to leave after dining. At the same time, as more people were able to afford to eat at KFC and McDonald’s, their fast foods were also becoming more and more popular, especially among young people. As a consequence, both types of chain restaurant were becoming noisy and crowded and, thus, no longer ideal for reading, studying, or meeting with friends. Although tea has been a traditional drink in Chinese culture, traditional teahouses were expensive places more suitable for business meetings or for the cultural or intellectual elite. Since almost every family owns a tea set and can readily purchase tea, friends and family would usually make and consume tea at home. In recent years, however, new kinds of teahouses have emerged, similar in style to cafés, targeting the younger generation with more affordable prices and a wider range of choices, so the lack of a “third space” does not fully explain the café boom. Another factor affecting the popularity of cafés has been the development and uptake of Internet technology, including the increasing use of laptops and wireless Internet in recent years. The Internet has been available in China since the late 1990s, while computers and then laptops entered ordinary Chinese homes in the early twenty-first century. The IT industry has created not only a new field of research and production, but has also fostered new professions and demands. Particularly, in recent years in Mainland China, a new socially acceptable profession—freelancing in such areas as graphic design, photography, writing, film, music, and the fashion industry—has emerged. Most freelancers’ work is computer- and Internet-based. Cafés provide suitable working space, with wireless service, and the bonus of coffee that is, first of all, somatically stimulating. In addition, the emergence of the creative and cultural industries (which are supported by the Chinese government) has created work for these freelancers and, arguably, an increasing demand for café-based third spaces where such people can meet, talk and work. Furthermore, the flourishing of cafés in first-tier cities is part of the “aesthetic economy” (Lloyd 24) that caters to the making and selling of lifestyle experience. Alongside foreign restaurants, bars, galleries, and design firms, cafés contribute to city branding, and link a city to the global urban network. Cafés, like restaurants, galleries and bars, provide a space for the flow of global commodities, as well as for the human flow of tourists, travelling artists, freelancers, and cultural specialists. Finally, cafés provide a type of service that contributes to friendly owner/waiter-customer relations. During the planned-economy era, most stores and hotels in China were State-owned, staff salaries were not related to individual performance, and indifferent (and even unfriendly) service was common. During the economic reform era, privately owned stores and shops began to replace State-owned ones. At the same time, a large number of people from the countryside flowed into the cities seeking opportunities. Most had little if any professional training and so could only find work in factories or in the service industry. However, most café employees are urban, with better educational backgrounds, and many were already familiar with coffee culture. In addition, café owners, particularly those of places like Sculpting in Time Cafe, often invest in creating a positive, community atmosphere, learning about their customers and sharing personal experiences with their regular clients. This leads to my next point—the generation of the 1980s’ need for a social community. Cafés’ Symbolic Value—Community A demand for a sense of community among the generation of the 1980s is a unique socio-cultural phenomenon in China, which paradoxically co-exists with their desire for individualism. Mao Zedong started the “One Child Policy” in 1979 to slow the rapid population growth in China, and the generations born under this policy are often called “the lonely generations,” with both parents working full-time. At the same time, they are “the generation of me,” labelled as spoiled, self-centred, and obsessed with consumption (de Kloet; Liu; Rofel; Wang). The individuals of this generation, now aged in their 20s and 30s, constitute the primary consumers of coffee in China. Whereas individualism is an important value to them, a sense of community is also desirable in order to compensate for their lack of siblings. Furthermore, the 1980s’ generation has also benefitted from the university expansion policy implemented in 1999. Since then, China has witnessed a surge of university students and graduates who not only received scientific and other course-based knowledge, but also had a better chance to be exposed to foreign cultures through their books, music, and movies. With this interesting tension between individualism and collectivism, the atmosphere provided by cafés has fostered a series of curious temporary communities built on cultural and culinary taste. Interestingly, it has become an aspiration of many young college students and graduates to open a community-space style café in a city. One of the best examples is the new Henduoren’s (Many People’s) Café. This was a project initiated by Wen Erniu, a recent college graduate who wanted to open a café in Beijing but did not have sufficient funds to do so. She posted a message on the Internet, asking people to invest a minimum of US$316 to open a café with her. With 78 investors, the café opened in September 2011 in Beijing (see pictures of Henduoren’s Café). In an interview with the China Daily, Wen Erniu stated that, “To open a cafe was a dream of mine, but I could not afford it […] We thought opening a cafe might be many people’s dream […] and we could get together via the Internet to make it come true” (quoted in Liu 2011). Conclusion: Café Culture and (Instant) Coffee in China There is a Chinese saying that, if you hate someone—just persuade him or her to open a coffee shop. Since cafés provide spaces where one can spend a relatively long time for little financial outlay, owners have to increase prices to cover their expenses. This can result in fewer customers. In retaliation, cafés—particularly those with cultural and literary ambience—host cultural events to attract people, and/or they offer food and wine along with coffee. The high prices, however, remain. In fact, the average price of coffee in China is often higher than in Europe and North America. For example, a medium Starbucks’ caffè latte in China averaged around US$4.40 in 2010, according to the price list of a Starbucks outlet in Shanghai—and the prices has recently increased again (Xinhua 2012). This partially explains why instant coffee is still so popular in China. A bag of instant Nestlé coffee cost only some US$0.25 in a Beijing supermarket in 2010, and requires only hot water, which is accessible free almost everywhere in China, in any restaurant, office building, or household. As an habitual, addictive treat, however, coffee has not yet become a customary, let alone necessary, drink for most Chinese. Moreover, while many, especially those of the older generations, could discern the quality and varieties of tea, very few can judge the quality of the coffee served in cafés. As a result, few Mainland Chinese coffee consumers have a purely somatic demand for coffee—craving its smell or taste—and the highly sweetened and creamed instant coffee offered by companies like Nestlé or Maxwell has largely shaped the current Chinese palate for coffee. Ben Highmore has proposed that “food spaces (shops, restaurants and so on) can be seen, for some social agents, as a potential space where new ‘not-me’ worlds are encountered” (396) He continues to expand that “how these potential spaces are negotiated—the various affective registers of experience (joy, aggression, fear)—reflect the multicultural shapes of a culture (its racism, its openness, its acceptance of difference)” (396). Cafés in contemporary China provide spaces where one encounters and constructs new “not-me” worlds, and more importantly, new “with-me” worlds. While café-going communicates an appreciation and desire for new lifestyles and new selves, it can be hoped that in the near future, coffee will also be appreciated for its smell, taste, and other benefits. Of course, it is also necessary that future Chinese coffee consumers also recognise the rich and complex cultural, political, and social issues behind the coffee economy in the era of globalisation.

Nuestra investigación consiste en un estudio descriptivo y contrastivo de dos traducciones al español de la antología poética china Shi Jing, una obra extraordinaria de la literatura china. En concreto, hemos estudiado los factores extratextuales y los factores textuales centrándonos en el estudio de los referentes culturales. Como uno de los Cinco Libros del confucionismo, Shi Jing ocupa una posición trascendental en la civilización china. Esta obra también goza de gran prestigio y despierta no menos interés en el ámbito de la traducción. Pero posiblemente debido a su escasa incursión en el mundo de las letras hispanas, los estudios dedicados a las traducciones de Shi Jing al español son realmente escasos. Creemos que nuestro trabajo podría contribuir, de algún modo, a arrojar algo de luz sobre esta magna obra. La investigación tiene la particularidad de utilizar datos cuantitativos para realizar un análisis, a un tiempo, cuantitativo y cualitativo. El modelo de análisis se basa principalmente en el de Mangiron (2006). En primer lugar, hemos analizado los factores extratextuales relacionados con las dos traducciones y los paratextos que las rodean. En concreto, los factores extratextuales que incluimos en el análisis son: el traductor, la editorial, el iniciador, la época, la finalidad, los destinatarios, y la recepción. En lo que respecta al análisis de los paratextos, los elementos que están dotados con mayor carga de significado en nuestro trabajo son: la cubierta, el prólogo y las notas al pie de las dos traducciones; las notas introductorias del TM1 y el estudio preliminar del TM2. En segundo lugar, hemos llevado a cabo una de las tareas centrales de este estudio, esto es, el análisis descriptivo y comparativo de los referentes culturales de las dos traducciones. Empleamos las técnicas de traducción de Molina y Hurtado (Molina 1998 y 2011, y Molina y Hurtado Albir 2002) como instrumento de análisis. Hemos adaptado y matizado algunas de ellas para que se ajusten lo más acertadamente posible a nuestro trabajo. Además, hemos prestado especial atención a las dieyinci, palabras reduplicadas, dada su frecuencia en el texto original, lo que hace que sea rasgo característico de la obra. En la tercera y la última fase, hemos analizado los datos obtenidos. Incidimos en el uso de las técnicas de traducción empleadas por los dos traductores, teniendo en cuenta el ámbito cultural al que pertenecen los referentes. Investigamos, para cada categoría cultural, cuáles han sido las técnicas más empleadas por cada uno. Asimismo, triangulamos los datos obtenidos en los análisis anteriores y para dilucidar si los factores extratextuales influyen de alguna manera en el tratamiento de los referentes culturales.
Our research consists of a descriptive and contrastive study of two translations into Spanish of the Chinese poetic anthology Shi Jing, an extraordinary work of Chinese literature. In particular, we have studied extratextual factors and textual factors, focusing on the study of cultural referents. As one of the Five Books of Confucianism, Shi Jing occupies a transcendental position in Chinese civilization. This work also enjoys great prestige and awakens no less interest in the field of translation. But possibly due to its limited foray into the world of Hispanic letters, the studies dedicated to the translations of Shi Jing into Spanish are really scarce. We believe that our work could contribute, in some way, to shed some light on this great work. The research has the peculiarity of using quantitative data to perform an analysis, both quantitative and qualitative. The analysis model is based mainly on that of Mangiron (2006). In the first place, we have analyzed the extratextual factors related to the two translations and the paratexts that surround them. In particular, the extratextual factors that we include in the analysis are: the translator, the publisher, the initiator, the time, the purpose, the recipients, and the reception. Regarding the analysis of paratexts, the elements that are endowed with the greatest load of meaning in our work are: the cover, the prologue and the footnotes of the two translations; the introductory notes of the TM1 and the preliminary study of the TM2. In the second place, we have carried out one of the central tasks of this study, that is, the descriptive and comparative analysis of the cultural references of the two translations. We use the translation techniques of Molina and Hurtado (Molina 1998 and 2011, and Molina and Hurtado Albir 2002) as an analytical tool. We have adapted and nuanced some of them to fit as accurately as possible to our work. In addition, we have paid special attention to the dieyinci, reduplicated words, given their frequency in the original text, which makes it a characteristic feature of the work. In the third and last phase, we analyzed the data obtained. We emphasize the use of the translation techniques used by the two translators, taking into account the cultural field to which the referents belong. We investigate, for each cultural category, which have been the most used techniques by each one. We also triangulate the data obtained in the previous analyses and to elucidate whether the extratextual factors influence in some way the treatment of cultural references..

This article focuses on the translation of part of the Tianxian xinchuan 天仙心傳, a text with a composite content that deals both with self-cultivation and ritual practice. The Tianxian xinchuan was written between 1832 and 1834 and it is included in Min Yide’s 閔一得 anthology of Taoist texts Gu shuyinlou cangshu 古書隱樓藏書. Its teachings were reportedly transmitted by Shen Yibing 沈一炳 to his disciple Min Yide and are linked to the figure of Li Niwan 李泥丸, a mythical transcendent. This text is related to the content of other works contained in Min Yide’s anthology, such as the Tianxian daocheng baoze 天仙道程寶則, the Tianxian jieji xuzhi 天仙戒忌須知, the Er Lan xinhua 二懶心話 and the Taiyi jinhua zongzhi 太一金華宗旨. The portion translated here is Min Yide’s commentary to the section entitled “Internal Chapter” and it focuses on what was considered the highest level of self-cultivation of his tradition.

Abstract The Cariban language family is made up of some 40 to 60 languages spoken in lowland South America in the Amazon, Orinoco, and Xingu river drainages (see figure 1.1, Lizarralde 1987). Until recently, so little linguistic work had been done that genetic subgroupings in the Cariban language family (and even the inclusion of some languages within the family) still could not be reliably determined. While the situation has improved dramatically in the last few years, and a reasonable at tempt at classification is not out of the question, much remains to be done to document the remaining languages. A great many Cariban languages have become ex tinct, several more are on the verge of extinction (more may have died out in the 1980s and 1990s), and several are spoken by groups of fewer than 500 people. Any discussion of the entire Cariban language family must begin with an urgent call for further field research. If many of these languages are not described soon, they will never be described. In this chapter I review previous attempts to subclassify languages in the Cariban family and then discuss the current status of linguistic research on each Cariban language for which I present data.

El presente estudio tiene como principal finalidad comparar la situación de los pueblos indígenas en Guatemala a lo largo de los últimos años, utilizando como base los dos censos de población realizados por el INE en el siglo XXI. Se trata de una comparación entre población indígena y no-indígena, entre pueblos (Maya, Garífuna, Xinka y Ladino) y entre las comunidades lingüísticas de origen Maya. De tal manera que es un análisis intra e interétnico, a lo largo del tiempo. También toma en cuenta las variables de edad, sexo y ubicación geográfico de la población, así como el área donde viven (urbana o rural).
