The books of the Spanish series Manolito Gafotas have been translated into more than twenty languages. One of the most recent translations is the English one (2008), published fourteen years after the first book of the series came out in Spain. In this article, the English translator of the second and third books of the series will analyze how an acceptable work according to the standards of the conservative target culture was created. With pressure from the editor, many references in the original books considered to be inappropriate or to have a potentially negative influence on young readers were reduced or eliminated. In that regard, references to alcohol, tobacco, violence, bodily functions, disrespectful behavior, as well as mentions of certain ethnic groups and allusions that might be interpreted in a sexual manner were downplayed. At the same time, the pedagogical aspect of the books was enhanced leading to such changes as the standardization of the colloquial language, one of the most salient characteristics of the original books. The author will examine how the changes in the English version are in line with the tendencies of the translation of children's literature in general and specifically reflect the politically correct values associated with children's literature in the United States. The most important consequence of these changes is the creation of a new, model Manolito.

This article challenges the dominant conception of academic freedom by critiquing the liberal philosophy that underpins it. The article uses recent issues around trans rights in both public and academic librarianship to show how the dominant liberal conception of academic freedom supports transphobia. It then uses Antonio Negri's theory of consituent power to offer an alternative perspective on academic freedom and how this alternative conception might better support trans rights in universities and libraries.

Supervised jointly by Richard King and Hans Zimmer, the sound and musical score of Dunkirk underlies the elaboration of a complex narrative, articulated around three distinct spatiotemporal units: one week on the mole, one day at sea, one hour in the air. The events that occur within each narrative space follow their own chronology; however, throughout the narration, crossings take place between the characters, and correspondences of situations are established. The action comes in the present – a ubiquitous present, constantly renewed – in a temporality dilated by the emotional and sensory load conveyed by the soundtrack.We will show that Dunkirk's sound and musical design responds to a clear desire to combine historical realism and immersive spectacle, in a resolutely innovative and experimental approach. Besides the fact that the sound power seems to grow indefinitely according to the events met by the young English soldier, the strength and originality of this hybrid composition lie in the complementarity and the interweaving of a priori disparate components, such as the chromaticism, the pulsation given by the ticking of a watch, the sinister groan of boats swallowed by the sea, or the first measures of Edward Elgar's “Nimrod” variation.
