The Arawak language family is the largest in South America in terms of its geographical spread, with over forty extant languages. Arawak languages are spoken in at least ten locations north of the Amazon, and in at least ten south of it, and are structurally diverse. Across the family, the expression of first person is relatively consistent. This chapter starts with an overview of its marking and its meanings, with special focus on the emergence of inclusive/exclusive forms through language-internal resources and contact-induced change, followed by a case study of the means involved in the expression of first person, or ‘self’, and ‘other’ in Tariana, a well-documented Arawak language from the multilingual Vaupés River Basin linguistic area in northwest Amazonia. These involve person markers, exponents of future, and evidentiality (or grammatical expression of information source). Special narrative techniques and expression reveal the role of 'self' in Tariana verbal art.

The paper presents the results of research into the function of farm-market linkages in the evolution of hybrid grain-corn production in Southern Québec. The evolution of the physical structure of the market, the nature of market demand, and the farmers' perception of the market, are all identified as significant variables in the location pattern of grain-corn production. The direct role of the market as an information source is examined and found to influence positively both the rate and direction of change. The use of free seed samples and the establishment of contract marketing further confirm these findings.

This article uses the medium of film to analyze masculinities at the intersection of the regionally specific with the typical: the peripheral factory town with the universalizing panelák, or apartment block. This article addresses how the private spaces in industrial regions achieve new meaning when the role of the factory or public space, idealized in communist propaganda, has undergone a dramatic transformation. After the narratives that made spaces “great” became irrelevant in 1989 and the paneláky and factories lost their metaphorical meanings, they became simply apartment buildings and privately owned worksites. Within these spaces, many working-class men in industrial regions have faced more difficult transitions than women because they, as idealized workers under socialism, were more invested in the system and lost more from its collapse. Through an analysis of common themes in films released roughly fifteen years after the Velvet Revolution, the author asks how these men relate to the panelák, or private space, when excluded from the masculine, public space of the factory. How does the employment situation impact the family unit? What solutions do directors present to these men who find themselves ill-equipped for life in the industrial periphery after the post-1989 transition? This article draws from and contributes to recent work in the field of Czech gender studies and functions as a Czech case study on the relationship between gender and space in the former Eastern Bloc.

Translation of Conceptual Literature. A Case Study of the Localization of Paint the Rock by Shiv Kotecha into the Polish Namaluj PopkaThe article presents case study of a creative practice-based project in which the experimental conceptual book Paint the Rock by Shiv Kotecha was translated into Polish using a conceptual translation strategy. The original is an unconventional “coloring book” that invites the reader to paint American male celebrities from memory. The Polish translation, Namaluj Popka by Aleksandra Małecka and Piotr Marecki, remakes the original experiment, replacing these global household names with figures from the Polish local popular imaginary in a ludic localization. The authors describe the context of the original literary work, the translation process, the new context for reception in Poland, with a special focus on the role of the translator as the ambassador of new trends in literature and the creative and critical potential of conceptual writing and translation strategies.KEY WORDS: ambient literature, experimental literature, conceptual translation, experimental translation, conceptual literature

Ketidakpastian pendapatan yang diperoleh oleh kepala keluarga sebagai nelayan mendorong anggota rumah tangga lainnya seperti istri dan anak untuk bekerja agar dapat memenuhi kebutuhan hidup rumah tangga. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui peran istri nelayan dalam meningkatkan pendapatan rumah tangga menurut jenis pekerjaan yang dilakukan dan pendapatan yang diperoleh serta besarnya sumbangan pendapatan tersebut untuk meningkatkan pendapatan rumah tangga. Penelitian dilakukan pada tahun 2013 di Desa Penjajab, Kabupaten Sambas. Metode penelitian menggunakan metode survei. Pengambilan responden dilakukan secara purposive sampling. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar istri nelayan di Desa Penjajab memiliki pekerjaan sebagai pengolah produk perikanan (kerupuk, ikan kering dan terasi). Rataan besarnya nilai pendapatan istri nelayan adalah Rp.372.400,-/bln. Kontribusi pendapatan istri terhadap total pendapatan rumah tangga adalah sebesar 24,04%. Pekerjaan yang dilakukan oleh istri dan kepala keluarga dalam rumah tangga nelayan memiliki karakteristik yang sama, sangat tergantung pada musim. Ketika pendapatan kepala keluarga meningkat maka kecenderungan pendapatan pada istri nelayan juga meningkat. Hal ini dikarenakan bahan baku ikan olahan berasal dari hasil tangkapan suami. Meningkatkan partisipasi istri dan anggota keluarga dalam bekerja merupakan salah satu usaha strategis saat ini untuk meningkatkan pendapatan rumah tangga. Pengembangan usaha diluar sektor perikanan sangat penting dilakukan, mengingat tingkat pendapatan dari sektor perikanan masih rendah karena sangat dipengaruhi oleh musim. (Role of Fisher’s Wife to Increase the Household Income (Case study in the Penjajab Village, Pemangkat Sub District of Sambas))Uncertainty income earned by the head of the family as a fisher push other household members, such as wives and children to work in order to meet the household needs. This study was conducted to determine the role of the fisher’s wife to increasing household incomes in terms of the type of work and the income earned as well as the contribution of such the revenues to increase household income. Study was conducted in 2013 in Penjajab village of Sambas Regency. Survey method was used in this study. The selection of respondents used a purposive sampling. Data were analyzed descriptively. Results showed that most of the fisher’s wife in the Penjajab Villages has a job as a processing fishery products (crackers, dried fish and shrimp paste). Average income of the fisher’s wife is Rp.372.400, - / month. Wife revenue contribution to total household income is equal to 24.04%. Work performed by the wife and the head of the family in the fisher households have the same characteristics, is highly dependent on the season. When the head of the family income increases, the tendency of the fishers wife revenue also increased. This is because the raw material processed fish catch comes from the husband. Increasing the participation of wife and family members in work is one of the current strategic effort to increase the househods revenue. Business development outside of the fisheries sector is very important because the level of income from the fisheries sector is still low and heavily depend on season.
