- Summary/Abstract:This paper analyses a rap song Barras y Estrellas by Nach using Critical DiscourseAnalysis (Van Dijk, 1996, 1999, 2003, 2008) as a theoretical framework with the aim of examining how the ideology is conveyed through the use of language in a song. Author’schoices of words which are empowered by worldviews and ideologies which furthermake decoding the meaning of a song even more complex. Special attention is given tothe lexical choice, theme, semantic strategies, and how these features are skillfully deployedin the song. It is discovered that through an ideologically-driven use of language,the songs echo ethos of combat and prove as an effective tool for social creation of groupidentity.

- Keywords:Seville; Ibero-American Exposition; Universal Exposition; Hispanic Rac; memory
- Summary/Abstract:The Ibero-American Exposition, celebrated in Seville in 1929, formed part of the regenerationist strategy concocted to compensate for the loss of the colonies. Spain ceasedto be a factual power and had to reinvent itself as a spiritual one. Hence, the Expositionlauded the glorious past, celebrated the rich culture and foregrounded the role of Spaniardsas the civilizing conquerors of the New World. Seville, crucial for the discovery and colonization of America, was a symbol of the past grandeur of the lost empire. By hosting and becoming part of the Exhibition the city, branded as the birthplace of the Hispanic Race, enhanced its symbolic value. The analysis of the program shows the utility of the concept of the Hispanic Race in the process of recreating the myth of Seville, as well as in rebuilding the city: the capital of the new, spiritual empire and the gate of Europe.

During three years of the existence of the Empire, Carlota not only helped Maximilian I to take reins of the state, but also to have real power as regent.

- Summary/Abstract:One of the common manifestations of the Spanish Francoist’s propaganda were posters with a variety of symbols and passwords promoting certain attitudes of society andcreating a whole image of the state. The aim of this study is to reconstruct the propaganda’simage of SPAIN in the context of the nationalist’s ideology camp. The materialfor analysis was selected from agitational posters issued in the era of General Franco’sregime which contain titles and slogans about the Spanish state, including the mostimportant key-words of Francoism. The posters were assigned to different categories, according to the used metaphors, conceptual and imaginative schemes. On this base it waspossible to build up a propaganda’s definition of the state and extract basic features ofthe propaganda’s language. This linguistic analysis refers to the theory of the linguisticpicture of the world by Jerzy Bartmiński.

- Summary/Abstract:One of the most popular folk music in Mexico are the ballads or corridos. Two historical periods have been portrayed through this of musical expression: the Mexican Revolution of 1910 in the Revolutionary Ballads Corridos Revolucionarios and the Drug Ballads Narcocorridos in the present decades about current events. Both share to be a popularexpression, many times far away from the official interpretation of the events. They havea common language adapted to a similar musical rythm and have been widely adoptedby the Mexican people as their interpretation of historical events.Therefore, I propose to review two key periods in Mexican History, 1910 and 2010 from an academic perspective using these ballads as units of analysis, taking into account their contents (comparing and contrasting between both types of ballads) and their cultural expressions. Let the music to teach us about Mexico!

- Keywords:Boethius; Consolatio Philosophiae; Translation; Politics; Middle Ages
- Summary/Abstract:In less than a century, Boethius’ Consolatio Philosophiae was translated into Castilian and into Catalan as many as ten times. Why was this book translated so many timesinto the same languages? There were obviously geographical, social, linguistic, literary,and stylistic considerations, but in this paper I would like to stress the political pressures:in my opinion, two of these versions were composed, at least in part, as an apologiafor, or an expression of exoneration of their dedicatees, the infant James of Majorca andthe Condestable Ruy López Dávalos, presenting them, through the identification withBoethius, as victims of injustice.

- Keywords:Semantic fields; specialized translations; teaching; Legal Spanish; Legal Polish
- Summary/Abstract:The paper analyses certain semantic fields of the Polish and Spanish legal languages, and how these can be used in teaching of specialized translations. The Author argues that the concept of the semantic field provides for a good introduction to legal translation intricacies. Analised are synonyms, antonyms, hypernyms/hyponyms, and the equivalence ranges of the base legal concepts like jurysdykcja [jurisdiction], postępowanie sądowe [court proceedings], środek zaskarżenia [mean of appeal] or the verb uchylić [abolish, dismiss, quash, revoke] and their Spanish equivalents. The Author offers translation lab problems to solve, that involve tracing how the relevant semantic fields overlap and where they do not, and definition of the semantic sub-fields where they do match. Also exercises intypical collocations and word formation in the selected semantic fields.

- Summary/Abstract:Antonín Pikhart, a lawyer by profession, represents an important culturally active figure of the turn of the twentieth century. From the point of view of literary and translation history, his groundbreaking work constitutes his most notable achievement — Pikhart laid the foundations of systematic Czech translations from Spanish, Catalan and partially also Hispanic American literatures. He authored his own texts as well, among which lyrical works and travel and biographical sketches prevail. The analysis of his personal library has yielded many interesting findings reflective not only of its formation and organization but also of Pikhart’s translation work and his relationships with Spanish and Catalan writers. Following the data ascertained during the research of his library, we have also examined Pikhart’s correspondence with selected Spanish authors, included in his personal fund stored in the Literary Archive of the Museum of Czech Literature in Prague.

The objective lies in presenting modern concepts of Spanish, Latin American and Czech origin, using the following lines of investigation as a basis: 1) Sedm tváří translatologie [Seven faces of Translation Studies] introduces new concepts and methods studied in the Iberian Peninsula; 2) Překlad a tlumočení jako most mezi kulturami [Translation and interpreting as a bridge between cultures] presents tendencies in Latin America; 3) Jiří Levý: Una concepción (re)descubierta [Jiří Levý: a (re)discovered conception] introduces Levý’s innovative concepts to the Spanish speaking world. The methodology lies in selecting and translating the most representative texts by contemporary Spanish and Latin American translation scholars and by Levý in their respective languages, thus making a contribution to the exchange between Czech and Hispanic theories.
