This article provides a brief presentation of the development of some cognitive scientific views on technical communication and translation. I look in detail at one of the latest cognitive scientific trends, namely Situated and Embodied Cognition. According to this approach, humans are creative beings who are dependent on their physical and psychological circumstances. I provide a brief overview of the background to situated, embodied cognition, present some of its main concepts and conclude with a number of proposals about how findings in this field can be used to further develop research in Technical Communication and Translation Studies. In doing so, I argue that the new findings in cognitive science will necessarily change some of the common concepts and methodological traditions with regard to the actual text production process and competencies.

The Continuum

In the e+e- annihilation processes [Formula: see text], D+D- near or above the threshold of [Formula: see text], there are not only the resonance contribution [Formula: see text], D+D-, but also the continuum contribution through virtual photon directly [Formula: see text], D+D-. The amplitudes through virtual photon directly and through resonance can interfere seriously. We consider the continuum and interference effect in the [Formula: see text] production process in e+e- annihilation. We find that the effect is significant near and above the threshold of the [Formula: see text] mesons.

The Brain

This paper investigates the notion of ‘distributed cognition’ – the idea that entities external to one’s organic brain participate in one’s overall cognitive functioning – and the challenges it poses. Related to this is also a consideration of the ever-increasing ways in which neuroprostheses replace and functionally replicate organic parts of the brain. However, the literature surrounding such issues has tended to take an almost exclusively physicalist approach. The common assumption is that, given that non- physicalist theories (dualism, hylomorphism) postulate some form of immaterial ‘soul’, then they are immune from the challenges that these advances in cognitive science pose. The first aim of this paper, therefore, is to argue that this is not the case. The second aim of this paper is to attempt to elucidate a route available for the non- physicalist that will allow them to accept the notion of distributed cognition. By appealing to an Aristotelian framework, I propose that the non-physicalist can accept the notion of distributed cognition by appeal to the notion of ‘unitary life’ which I introduce as well as Aristotle’s dichotomy between active and passive mind.

Resumen: El cine sin autor es un proceso de producción audiovisual que problematiza algunas de las ideas canónicas o fijas de la traslación de la autoridad desde un individuo hasta la gente común en temas de producción y realización audiovisual. En otros trabajos anteriores ya se han destacado algunas de sus características y analizado obras y prácticas de un colectivo (el de Cine sin Autor o CsA) que ha dado lugar a lo que llamábamos sinautoría audiovisual, con un objetivo pedagógico y de propuesta alternativa de lenguaje audiovisual.El texto presente trata de enmarcar este colectivo audiovisual en la tradición del artivismo y activismo audiovisual y analizar algunos últimos proyectos del colectivo, que respaldan una propuesta formal alternativa, y permiten hablar de una representación experimental alejada de una narración o representación clásica. Il corpo qui sogna, Ciak o Mátame si puedes son algunos de ellos.Abstract: Without authorship is an audiovisual production process that problematize some of the canonical or fixed ideas of the transfer about authorshio and authority from one individual to the common people on issues of audiovisual production. In previous works we have already highlighted some of its characteristics and analyzed some works and practices from a collective (Cine sin Autor or CsA) that we called as "audiovisual without authorship", an alternative for an audiovisual language and with a pedagogical purpose.This text tries to frame this audiovisual collective in the tradition of artivism and audiovisual activism and to analyze some recent projects of the group, which support a formal proposal for an alternative, and allow to speak about an alternative narrative and an experimental representation. Il corpo qui sogna, Ciak or Mátame si puedes are some of them.

Illuminance Uniformity

The light that enters through our eyes is not only for vision. The human circadian system responds to light differently than the visual system. The timing of each biological function in mammals is directed by the main clock located in the Supraquiasmic Nucleus, which is regulated by light. However, until now, only the interaction of light with our visual system has been taken into account when choosing the parameters of indoor lighting sources, including those in the classroom. In the publications about school lighting, the first concern was the common parameters of indoor lighting such as horizontal workplane illuminance, illuminance uniformity, and avoiding reflections on different surfaces. In this chapter, the authors show publications about new findings on the effects of light on people, studies carried out in different countries aimed at improving classroom lighting, current regulations on lighting related to classroom lighting, and new parameters that are being considered, along with those already used for new and better lighting.

The Impact

The Carta de Jamaica (1815) is considered one of the most important testimonies of the South American liberator Simón Bolívar. When the manuscript vanished, historians were left with an English translation and assumed back-translations into Spanish, which heavily impacted the (Spanish) publication history for almost two centuries. This study of the versions of the Carta de Jamaica and the discourse surrounding the search for the original is carried out by applying Jan Assman’s text production process model. Assman’s model helps identify and understand the motives guiding translation endeavors and the different functions of these versions, which makes it a valuable tool for translation-historical research on key political, cultural, or religious texts. This paper also shows how paradoxical the usage and conception of translation is: it is conceived as a problem, used as a tool of analysis, and finally becomes the solution because through translation the version “closest” to the lost original is created.

Communicational Approach

The translation of proper names – a functional, onomastic theoretical approach I. Features of names as factors influencing translation The paper examines the questions surrounding the translation of proper nouns from an onomastic viewpoint blended with the results of translation studies, following a functional-communicational approach. Its goal is to create a model, which contains not only the applicable methods available to translators, but the (pragmatic and communicational) aspects and factors that could affect choosing between these. The novelty of the study is that it takes the meaning (denotation and connotation), the category (e.g. personal name) and sub-category (e.g. family name) of proper nouns into consideration, following the practices of prototype theory. Another innovative approach is the emphasise lain on the influence of composition on the translation of names. According to this, names consisting of several words should not be handled as single units, as earlier studies have consid-ered them, but following a two-step method: first holistically (e.g. the Eng. Flint Cliffs : Hung. Flint-sziklák, a place name), and then morphologically, while defining the categories of the name elements (e.g. Flint is a family name, cliffs is a common noun). This shows that translators are not completing a single operation but a combination of operations (transference in the case of the given name, and translation in the case of the common noun). Translations previously deemed ununderstandably heterogenous can thus be explained by applying this methodology.
