Il-politika hija dak il-proċess li jfassal ideat u toroq li bihom u fuqhom jitwettqu żviluppi tajbin, inqas tajbin jew ħżiena fis-setturi diversi tal-ħajja ta’ kuljum. Kull fejn hemm tmexxija, hemm politika li tista’ tissarraf kemm fi tmexxija u riżultati tajbin, kif ukoll fi tmexxija ħażina. Jien li ġej mill-qasam mediku, imma għaddejt 45 sena minn ħajti fil-qasam politiku, stajt nirrelata ma’ u napprezza l-livell għoli tal-materjal li hawn f’din il-pubblikazzjoni. F’dawn il-kontribuzzjonijiet sibt faċċati li jittrattaw bil-miftuħ dawk l-isfidi u problemi etiċi, morali u politiċi li jien stess iffaċċjajt matul dawk is-snin u li ħsibt mhux ftit fuqhom matul il karriera twila tiegħi fil-politika. L-Eċċellenza Tiegħu t-Tabib George Vella President ta’ Malta Dan ix-xogħol jistħoqqlu tifħir, tal-anqas, għal żewġ raġunijiet ewlenin. Raġuni waħda hija l-interdixxiplinarità tiegħu. Kelma twila u tqila li tfisser li l-materjal u s-suġġetti f’dan il-ktieb mhumiex mgħarbula u skjerati minn lenti dejqa ta’ dixxiplina partikulari. It-tieni raġuni hija l-ilsien Malti li bih issawru l-kapitli ta’ dan il-ktieb. Bl-interdixxiplinarità tiegħu, u miktub kif inhu bil-Malti, dan il-ktieb huwa xempju tal-qrubija bejn l-akkademja, l-ekonomija u s-soċjetà Maltija; xhieda ta’ kif u kemm l-Università kapaċi wkoll tersaq qrib in-nies. Il-Professur Godfrey Baldacchino, Soċjologu Nilqa’ lill-qarrejja kollha ta’ dawn is-saġġi fuq aspetti varji tal-politika mogħtija minn għadd sabiħ ta’ akkademiċi u prattikanti li wara li wasslu l-kontenut, l-argumenti u l-analiżi riċerkati tagħhom lis-semmiegħa, ikkollaboraw biex il-programmi jinqalbu fi ktieb. Bħala produttur u preżentatur fuq Campus FM, l-awtur ta’ din il-pubblikazzjoni għamel biċċa xogħol fejjieda biex l-għerf imberraħ minn wara l-mikrofonu jsib postu mitbugħ f’dan il-volum denju. Dott.

Din il-kollezzjoni ta’ ħrejjef hija importanti fil-wirt folkloristiku ta’ Malta għaliex tikkonsisti fi stejjer tal-passat li l-antenati tagħna għaddew bil-fomm bejn ġenerazzjoni u oħra. Stumme għamel xogħol eċċellenti billi rrekordjahom eżatti kif semagħhom għax b’hekk għandna rikordju dirett ta’ kif kienu jitkellmu u jaħsbu l-Maltin tal-1903. Flimkien ma’ dawk li oriġinaw minn Malta, dawn il-ħrejjef jinkludu oħrajn li juru l-influwenza tal-barranin. Dawn l-istejjer oriġinalment ġew irrakkontati bid-djalett u Stumme kitibhom bil-lingwa fonetika. Grima qalbithom għall-Malti modern bit-tama li dawn l-istejjer isiru parti mill-edukazzjoni tal-Maltin. Lily Grima ltaqghet mal-kollezzjoni ta’ dawn l-istejjer waqt li kienet qed tagħmel riċerka fuq l-etnomużikoloġija ġo Goldsmiths College, Londra. Il-karriera prinċipali tagħha kienet fil-qasam tal-edukazzjoni bħala għalliema li tispeċjalizza fil-mużika. Bħalissa hija taħdem privatament bħala interpreta u traduttriċi.

Dan il-ktieb, Bl-Għasluġ tal-Ħsieb – Dun Karm, La Jixjieħ u la Jmut, huwa mixja analitika ta’ ġieħ għax juri l-kisbiet kbar kreattivi u intellettwali tal-Poeta Nazzjonali, Dun Karm (1871-1961). Dak li jippreżenta dan il-ktieb huma suġġerimenti ta’ kif il-poeżija Dunkarmjana tista’ taħdem fuqna. Dawn is-suġġerimenti mhumiex esklużivi, imma jistgħu jiġu ċċalinġjati jew jinbidlu; u forsi wkoll wieħed jista’ jibni fuqhom. Jingħata nebħ ta’ kif wieħed jista’ jikkonċettwalizza għala nistgħu nsibu l-poeżija ta’ Dun Karm siewja għalina llum. Minn dak li qed jiġi ppreżentat, il-qarrejja għandhom jintebħu li l-qari u r-riċerka (li kull qarja titlob minnhom) huma alleati ta’ xulxin. Aktar ma wieħed isir jaf kif taħdem il-poeżija ta’ Dun Karm, aktar wieħed jinfetaħ għall-effetti li jista’ jkollha. B’qari rriċerkat, il-poeżija ta’ Dun Karm tistagħna u l-qarrejja jkunu aktar involuti fiha. Il-qari analitiku juri li l-letteratura ta’ Dun Karm tinqeda bl-użu ta’ lingwa, xbihat, u ideat li huma mirqumin u xirqin. Il-poeżiji ta’ Dun Karm jinħassu li huma maħdumin bl-akbar sengħa, u bosta minnhom iwassluna għall-introspezzjoni għax iġagħluna naħsbu fuq il-ħajja b’mod differenti mis-soltu. Anki meta Dun Karm jibni poeżija fuq xi tensjoni, fiha naqraw ħjiel tal-kumplessità tat-tiġrib uman. Għalhekk il-ġabriet tal-poeżiji tiegħu narawhom bħala għerf akkumulat

This is the first literal translation of Stumme’s collection of 37 folktales from Malta and Gozo which were narrated to him mostly by illiterate peasants and which he recorded in phonetic script in 1903 when he visited Malta. They are an invaluable contribution to the heritage of the Maltese islands.

Edited by Vicki Ann Cremona Capitalising on Culture? Malta and the European Capital of Culture is a collection of papers that interrogate the state of culture in the Mediterranean Island of Malta, which in 2018 will also be the designated European Capital of Culture. This volume critically examines the scope and function of culture. Authors in this volume explore culture both in terms of the physical spaces in the island as well as culture in terms of the lived fabric of social life. As such the papers explore the state and significance of culture in terms of well-being social participation, community-formation and inclusivity. The authors address the potential of the European Capital of Culture, and the resources attached it, to leave a lasting legacy that can foster the growth of culture in a local context.

Translation Studies from Malta provides a guide to some approaches in translation studies with Maltese as one of the languages involved. It shows some of the developments of the field in the Maltese Islands and it tries to be of direct relevance to an understanding of the processes of translation and interpreting. At the same time it places a wide range of seminal material within its covers, thus presenting different strands and offering a relevant springboard for further research as scholars explore this multifaceted discipline. The book treats interpreting, the art of translation, translation as an experience, translating style, and terminology. Each chapter gives an in-depth account of certain concepts and issues which define translation studies and suggest further research. Contributors: Victor Bonanno, Charles Briffa, Rose Marie Caruana, Joseph Eynaud, Oliver Friggieri, Giselle Spiteri Miggiani, Gabrielle Lorraine Torpiano, Clare Vassallo, Paul Zahra and Michael Zammit.

Are you hungry? This book offers a sweet kiss to those who are hungry for increased awareness. It is a journey into the mind; a stimulus unlocking humans' limitless nature. The reader is provided with food for thought involving the social construction of ideas. Focus is made on creating awareness of the dangerous nature of absolutes which can debilitate humans from being open to experience and to new ways of thinking. The author aims to illustrate numerous ways in which loss of awareness debilitates psychological growth while considering the technological age in which people are living. This illustration is made through the help of scientific theories, also including philosophical ideas. The author amalgamates various ideas on how to break the limits previously demonstrated by providing practical solutions. The society viewed as mechanised is supplied with further understanding of emotions and the need of increased emotional intelligence, resilience and meaning ... a kiss that you will never forget!
