BIOGRAPHICAL / Historical Note: Twentieth-century novelist Caroline Gordon was born into the Kentucky line of the extensive Meriwether family in 1895. Exploration of the family's past and its evolution is a major theme of her fiction. She grew up at Merry Mont in Todd County, near Clarksville where she received her early education. She earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Bethany College in 1916. Her father is the idealized subject of Gordon's second novel, Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), and the central character in her much-anthologized story, "Old Red." Gordon taught briefly; then, as a journalist, she became one of the first reviewers to comment favorably on a new Nashville-based magazine of poetry, The Fugitive. During the summer of 1924, Robert Penn Warren, a Todd County neighbor, introduced her to Allen Tate. Within a year they were married and living in New York City, where their daughter, Nancy Meriwether was born. With Tate, she began a period of life abroad, devoted to writing and sustained by various fellowships granted to one or the other. In London, Gordon was secretary to the influential British writer Ford Madox. In 1930 the Tates returned to the United States and settled in Clarksville in a house provided by Tate's brother Ben and called "Benfolly." Both Tates were exceptionally hospitable to friends and encouraging to younger writers. Both were prolific correspondents, generous with constructive criticism. (Gordon eventually became mentor to several writers, most notably Flannery O'Connor). Although she had to wrest time for her writing from domestic and social obligations, the eight Benfolly years were especially productive for Gordon, who published four novels and several stories before 1937. The first novel was Penhally (1931), followed by Alec Maury, Sportsman (1934), None Shall Look Back (1937), and The Garden of Adonis (1937), studies of the southern family during the Civil War and Great Depression. Academic appointments of the 1940s took the Tates throughout the Southeast and to Princeton, where they established a home near their daughter, who married psychiatrist Percy Wood in 1944. During this time Gordon published her fifth novel, Green Centuries (1941). Her second related group of novels, The Woman on the Porch (1944), which deals with a troubled marriage, The Strange Children (1951), based on life at Benfolly, and The Malefactors (1956), is informed by her conversion to Roman Catholicism. She and her husband wrote The House of Fiction (1950), which was followed by Gordon's How to Read a Novel in 1957. Gordon lived in Princeton until 1973, teaching, and writing: The Glory of Hera (1972). An appointment in the creative writing program drew her to the University of Dallas (Gordon was 77 years old when she proposed the new creative writing program at UD). When her health began to fail in 1978, she moved to San Cristobal de las Casas in Chapas, Mexico, with her daughter and family. She died there on April 11, 1981.

Introduction: Expanding and rethinking translation psychology
No full textThis chapter introduces the volume and outlines what led to its inception. Acknowledging that translation psychology benefits from a critical, pluriversal, and polycentric perspective, it argues that the field can usefully incorporate insights from a greater variety of subfields in psychology to attain a more complete understanding of translation processes and practices. The chapter presents the cognitive perspective in translation psychology and the potential risks associated with the prevalence of dominant models, methods, or practices. In particular, drawing on trends in psychology, the chapter highlights the potential for a reduction in subjective forms of research and methodological uniformity. It concludes with a call for a broad interpretation of translation psychology and a presentation of the six contributions to the edited volume

Nunca Mas Meets #NiUnaMenos— The Prosecution of Dictatorship-era Sexual Violence in Chile
No full textProfessor Caroline Davidson, of Willamette College of Law, presented a working draft of her work Nunca Mas Meets #NiUnaMenos— The Prosecution of Dictatorship-era Sexual Violence in Chile. This work seeks to explore reasons for delay in justice for sexual violence in Chile and what international criminal justice can learn from the Chilean example. If accountability for sexual and gender violence is a priority, and the ICC regime is premised on decentralized enforcement by national judicial systems, then a greater attention to obstacles to domestic justice for sexual and gender violence and ways of encouraging domestic prosecution is needed.https://ecollections.law.fiu.edu/faculty-workshops/1035/thumbnail.jp

Fables d'Ésope illustrées
No full textThis French edition quite exactly replicates its 2013 original by Usborne. The place of printing has changed from China to the United Arab Emirates. Otherwise, only the change of language seems to separate the two books, bought almost exactly ten years apart. As I wrote there, this is a squat edition, 6" x 7¾" with puffy covers. Its 272 pages are divided into eight categories, with three to six stories in each group. The categories are Pride, Trickery, Greed, Quarrels, Friendship, Cunning, Retorts, and Comeuppance. The story versions are good and filled out nicely with picturesque details. All but TH are well thought through. Davidson has the hare deliberately nap, planning on making the race competitive when the turtle catches up near the end. The illustrations are charming and colorful. FC on 14 is a good example. The book is physically heavyLanguage note: FrenchRetold by Susanna Davidson; French translation by Caroline Slam
Davidson, Richard
No full textRichard Davidson was born on April 19, 1900 in Newcastle-on-Tyne, England. He grew up in Newcastle, but quit school at age thirteen to help support his family. As a teenager, he served with the Northumberland Fusiliers in the Great War. In 1920, Richard immigrated to Canada. Eventually he settled in Lethbridge, Alberta with his wife, Caroline Uridge-Davidson. The couple had one son, George. In 1934, Caroline passed away, and three years later, Richard married his second wife, Tryntje. They had a daughter, Dorothy. During the 1930s, Richard worked as a garage floor man at Baalim Motors.
On October 18, 1941, Richard Davidson enlisted with the 39th Battery Royal Canadian Artillery at Lethbridge. He served with the battery, being posted on the west coast at Vancouver, Nanaimo and Victoria. Gunner Davidson was not sent overseas as he was considered overage for operations, and also had below average vision. By February 1945, Gunner Davidson’s health had deteriorated to the point that he was unable to meet minimum physical standards for service and he was given a medical discharge.
By the fall of 1945, Gunner Davidson had returned to Lethbridge and was hospitalized with terminal stomach cancer. He passed away on October 4, 1945 and was laid to rest with full military honours at Mountain View Cemetery in Lethbridge. For his service in two world wars, Gunner Davidson was awarded the British War Medal, Victory Medal, War Medal and Canadian Volunteer Service Medal. His wife, Tryntje and mother, Dorothy each received a Memorial Cross in his honour
Orchid love
No full textAs a 46XY chromosomal woman with the intersex variation Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) recently separated from her husband, the author explores the philosophical intricacies of dating, sex and love through her journaling and documentary practice. This ‘empowered reveal’ forms the basis for a transformative, phenomenological exploration of love, loss, desire and sex through a prism of feminism and embodied difference. It will be argued the positioning of the author and her lovers together, sexually strong, is a rupture of asexual preinscription
