The authors have been developing the demand control schema (DC-S) and their practice-profession approach to community interpreting since 1995. With its early roots pertaining to occupational health in the interpreting field, DC-S has evolved into a holistic work analysis framework which guides interpreters in their development of ethical and effective decision-making skills. Adapted from Robert Karasek’s demand control theory, this textbook is the culmination of nearly two decades of work, ...

This is a second edition of the highly popular volume used by clinicians and students in the assessment and intervention of aphasia. It provides both a theoretical and practical reference to cognitive neuropsychological approaches for speech-language pathologists and therapists working with people with aphasia.

This volume of the bdmp analyses the genesis of one of Beckett's most important works, the novel L'Innommable / The Unnamable, written in French in 1949-50 and translated into English by Beckett in 1956-8. Through an examination of the surviving manuscripts and typescripts, as well as the French and English pre-book-publication extracts, this study locates the novel within Beckett's developing aesthetic, especially his interest in Fritz Mauthner's 'critique of language' (Sprachkritik). It aim...

Do not underestimate the situation: career hunting abroad requires more than translating your CV! Different cultures all require their own approach.

An ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach will not work. Stop sending out hundreds of more or less similar applications every week. Each job, employer and count...

Zoals het aura van het kunstwerk in de twintigste eeuw al talloze malen is afgebrand, maar keer op keer uit zijn as herrees, zo komen ook oude clichés over de visionaire kunstenaar en diens soevereine schepppingsdrang steeds weer terug, zij het in nieuwe, aangepaste vormen.

Het kunstenaarschap is dus ook vandaag nog een mythe. Zit de kunstenaar per definitie gevangen in deze mythe? Is een gedemystificeerde kunstpraktijk voorstelbaar? Of heeft het kunstenaarschap zonder mythische lading geen ...

The contributions in this volume cover the period between roughly 1850 and 1950, focusing for the most part on Dutch science. We find out why the world-famous Kamerlingh Onnes Laboratory lost its leading position in the 1930s, how research on hormones and vitamins was established in the Netherlands, and how the discipline of modern experimental physics was strongly influenced by practices in astronomy.

By the first half of the twentieth century, fundamental research had acquired an almost invi...
