The Subject

The origin of cinema in India has transnational roots and can be traced back to as early as the 1920s. The multicultural connections were not only evident in terms of the cast and the crew but also in terms of the reach of the subject matter as portrayed on screen that had a global appeal. Application of modern technology and interactions between communities created a glocal space that transcended geopolitical boundaries. It is also interesting to note how actors and filmmakers from other nationalities became an integral part of these narratives. This culminated in an excellent combination of foreign technical knowledge and the creativity of the Indian film fraternity that produced an array of unforgettable masterpieces. This chapter attempts to chart the history and map the course of Indian cinema by applying a transnational lens and reexamining the cultural and social implications of these films. Moreover, it aims to situate the evolution of Indian cinema, keeping in view the intersection of gender, race, class, religion, and other categories.

The Impact

Human existence as a whole is attached to a culture. Every human is a member of a group that acts within the framework of patterns of behavior that is unique or peculiar to the group. Each group determines the component of her culture, and culture builds an identity for the group. This chapter is poised to examine definitions of culture across cultural backgrounds to show similarities and differences in articulating the subject matter. It explicates the components of culture which include the product and technical knowledge of human beings in a given environment. The work plunges into the characteristics of culture as socially based. Here, culture is seen as a creation of society and shared among members of the same society and learned through associations with others in the group. The work concludes that though there is no universally acceptable definition of culture, the impact of culture cannot be undermined as its influence is felt across disciplines and communities.

The Way

Have you ever had problems reading the directions for using a newly bought piece of equipment? If so, than apparently it was a translation that gave the translator difficulties. The degree of difficulty of a translation is determined by various factors, and depends not only on the knowledge the translator has of the subject matter and its specific jargon. It can also depend on the way in which the source text was delivered, e.g. without explaining figures, and equally on the technical knowledge the eventual reader possesses. The term "degree of difficulty" is therefore relative and can have a different value, dependent on the task. A further problem with technical translations for consumers is the product liability that is going to be more and more an essential part of directions for use. This article addresses the question of what can be considered a good technical translation.

This chapter describes arbitration involving construction contracts in Brazil. Construction contracts are known for being highly specialized in their form and use of terminology. Among the features of these contracts is the wide use of arbitration as a method of resolving disputes arising in connection with them, especially disputes requiring in-depth technical knowledge. The Brazilian Arbitration Law (BAL) provides that ‘all persons capable of entering into contracts can resort to arbitration to settle disputes referring to transferable property rights and claims. It can be affirmed that almost all construction contracts contemplate these types of rights and claims, which allow the use of arbitration to resolve any disputes arising in connection with those contracts. Moreover, the possibility of having a specialist who knows the subject matter in dispute sitting on the arbitral tribunal is perhaps the greatest advantage of arbitration. With respect to construction claims, this advantage becomes even more salient given the complexity of such claims. The chapter then studies each step of arbitral proceedings concerning construction contracts in Brazil, especially those conducted between private parties.

THE germ of that which follows came into being many years ago in the days of my youth as a university instructor and assistant professor. It was generated by the then quite outspoken attitude of colleagues in the “exact sciences”; the sciences of which the subject-matter can be exactly weighed and measured and the force of its movements mathematically demonstrated. They assured us that the study of languages and literature had little or nothing scientific about it because: “It had no domain of concrete fact in which to work.” Ergo, the scientific spirit was theirs by a stroke of “efficacious grace” as it were. Ours was at best only a kind of “sufficient grace,” pleasant and even necessary to have, but which could, by no means ensure a reception among the elected.

Thus, in this study, the researchers seek to answer the following interrogations: who was Abdullah bn Fudi? who was their critic? what was the subject matter of the criticism? How did the rebutter get equipped with some guidelines of higher objectives of Sharĩʻah in his rejoinder to the critic? To this end, this study had tackled the questions afore-stated by using inductive, descriptive and analytical methods to identify the personalities involved, define and analyze some concepts and matters considered as the hub of the study.
