Translation plays an important role in the transcultural conceptualization of the characteristics of names (form, function, meaning, naming practices in the world…), especially when it includes names that look unusual from the Eurocentric, Western point of view. This paper analyzes such a situation in relation to the Spanish translations of Native American proper names in the literature by these cultural groups: it explores the diversity of names in the source language and culture and compares it to the target texts in order to observe the choices and decisions made by translators. The analysis also includes a revision of the scholarly ideas about the translation norms concerning Indian names and finally leads to an interpretation of the broader context of the transcultural reception of the indigenous Other in Spain.

In this paper, I discuss the process of developing a piece of writing for publication. Written for an intended audience of graduate students in the field of education, I discuss writing for publication as an arrangement for significance, the question of finding a discursive and intellectual home, the selection of an appropriate journal in which to publish, the importance of spaces and rituals of writing, and the conversational dynamics of peer review.

RASUQAM is an encyclopaedic thesaurus developed in 1994 by the library service of the Université du Québec à Montréal. In compliance with MARC21, it has over 40,000 descriptors, of which nearly 70 % are nouns. Similar to the language used by the users of the library, RASUQAM simplifies research and browsing. This article outlines the history of RASUQAM and describes its features, structure as well as its current status and growth. Using examples, the author describes the different categories of descriptors as well as the zones and sub-zones of MARC that are used. A comparison is established with the Répertoire de vedettes-matière de l'Université Laval (RVM), a widely used and recognised classification schedule.

This article presents the results of an exploratory research project that illustrates the reception of the first volume of Patrick Carman's Skeleton Creek by secondary one students. This series of stories is narrated from the point of view of each character presented through the print book, and includes a digital accompaniment. More specifically, each print chapter of a character's diary is followed by viewing a digital video, made accessible online with passwords from the print book. The results of this research, drawn by content analysis, were obtained through a logbook and semi-structured interviews. They highlight three reading modalities for our students: meaning construction process, fictional immersion and low adherence to the author's recommended reading instructions.

Young people, also known as teens, pre-teens or young adults, constitute an unstable category, which whom those associated with the documentary languages of indexing and book publishing undertake to define, particularly through their reading practices. This crossover study of documentary discourse (in this case, RAMEAU and CLIL classification) and publishing professionals allows us to trace the conceptual contours of the adolescent, and to question social, gender and literary genres. Ultimately, a gendered marking can be observed, both in the definition of the term's identity, as well as in the publishers' catalogues of children and young adult literature.

The main objective of this contribution is to identify “real” consumption practices for young audiences (18-25 years old) of audiovisual content on Netflix. Without limiting ourselves to series, we are also focusing our attention on a possible shift to other audiovisual content types offered by the platform to question the place of Netflix in the audiovisual and media cultures of this population. The methodology combines a quantitative survey (questionnaire that collected 2017 responses) and a qualitative approach (two focus groups and recording notebooks). The main results notably highlight a certain continuity between audiovisual practices on Netflix and those which existed before, to capture it.

This paper investigates the use of Audiovisual Translation (AVT) as a didactic tool in primary education. Several studies confirm that subtitling and dubbing are beneficial for productive and receptive skills, vocabulary acquisition, translation competence, and learners' motivation and engagement. However, research in the field has been devoted primarily to university students enrolled in translation and language programmes, and there is a dearth of papers exploring the use of AVT in early educational stages. This paper is intended to fill this gap by examining the perceptions of primary education students on the use of interlingual subtitling and creative dubbing in learning English at school. The sample includes 120 students from 10 public primary schools in Spain who participated in a 3-month teaching study. The research tool was a student questionnaire aimed at gathering their perceptions on the use of AVT; this survey was complemented with in-class observations. Results underline the favourable views students had on the use of AVT in language learning in primary education, with a slight preference for dubbing over subtitling. This outcome brings to the fore the educational possibilities of AVT, which may be a useful resource in language teaching.

Historians of children's reading highlight how the voices, opinions and ideas of actual children, are missing from most institutional archives. Contemporary scholars have an opportunity to change that situation for the future by co‑producing research with children. This paper examines how a class of ten‑year‑old schoolchildren in England engaged with a multidisciplinary arts project involving creative writing, digital game‑making and reading research activities. The paper builds upon scholarship that emphasizes the importance of conceptualizing research projects about children's reading with reference to transliteracies, multimodality and creative reading. It argues that, by offering the children different forms and media of expression and various means of documentation, the project enabled them to articulate vernacular as well as schooled ways of reading. Significantly, the children's perspectives on their own reading acts and habits offer valuable insights into the qualities of their reading experiences as child readers navigating a twenty‑first‑century transmedia environment.
