The Role of Tax Systems in Reducing Income Inequality: A Literature Review
Authors: Tjan Julianty Sidik
Published: June 2024

The progressive taxation system has been a subject of extensive research and debate regarding its role in addressing income inequality. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of progressive taxation in reducing income disparities, utilizing a qualitative research approach. Through a comprehensive review of existing literature, including theoretical frameworks and empirical studies, key insights into the impact of progressive taxation on income distribution are synthesized. The findings suggest that progressive taxation, characterized by higher tax rates on individuals with higher incomes, can significantly contribute to reducing income inequality. Empirical evidence from various studies supports the notion that countries with more progressive tax systems tend to exhibit lower levels of income inequality. However, the effectiveness of progressive taxation is contingent upon factors such as the overall design of the tax system, enforcement mechanisms, and broader economic conditions. Addressing tax evasion and avoidance is crucial for maximizing the redistributive impact of progressive taxation. The implications of this study highlight the importance of prioritizing equitable tax policies and strengthening enforcement measures to promote social justice and inclusive economic growth. Future research should focus on exploring innovative tax policy solutions to address emerging challenges such as digitalization, globalization, and environmental sustainability.

Google, Word ja Trados – pyhä kolminaisuus? Kääntäjien tietoteknisiä taitoja kartoittamassa
Authors: Mikhailov Mikhail , Suppanen Outi
Published: June 2024

The article reports on an on-line survey on the technological competences of Finnish translators carried out in the period of December 2012 – May 2013. The total number of responses was 238. The respondents have graduated from different universities, work with different language pairs, and specialize in different fields. One third of the respondents are male, more than half represent the younger generation (15% are aged 25 or younger, 39% are aged between 26 and 35).
The respondents' self-evaluations of their computer skills show a satisfactory level of competence. Most of the respondents are good at text processing and Internet surfing, and have some skills in computer maintenance. They are not very familiar with CAT tools, although some of them are active users of such software. Most of them have little or no experience with image processing, hypertext markup, and spreadsheet software.
All respondents are critical about the training in translation technologies they received at their universities. They also believe that computer-related skills are of great importance in translation practice nowadays.
Sibeliusta käsittelevät tietotekstisuomennokset tutkimuskohteena
Authors: Rautaoja Turo
Published: June 2024

Translations of musicological texts into Finnish have received no notable scholarly attention. In this article, based on my on-going doctoral research on musicological translations, I investigate a particular subgroup of musicological writing, namely, Sibelius-related texts translated into Finnish in the first half of the 20th century. My aim is to examine various possibilities ofapproaching Sibelius translations and consider their implications. In an attempt to relate the material under study to the socio-cultural conditions of early 20th century Finland, I draw on Tarasti’s notion of Finland as a culturally colonialised nation. The material itself is identified and preliminarily discussed on the basis of Pym’s concept of translation archaeology. Finally,Baker’s narrative theory is considered as a means of tying together the various strands of the topic. In the course of the article, I introduce notable Sibelius-related texts, translated from Swedish, English and German, and explore possible motivations for translating these texts into Finnish. Based on my findings, I suggest that, in the absence of a large body of Finnish language source texts, Sibelius translations served a variety of purposes in the process of shaping Finland’s cultural life.
Ihanteesta todellisuuteen ja todellisuudesta ihanteeseen
Authors: Vik-Tuovinen Gun-Viol
Published: June 2024

The article discusses the implementation of the ideals of interpreting in the reality of varied interpreted events relying on the theory of action research. Action research is described as a process that aims at gradually improving an action by involving the participants of the activity in the development throughout the development process from the detection of a problem to the evaluation of the solution. The article illustrates the adaptation of action research by means of examples from two studies. The first study, based on a questionnaire, was carried out in the region of Ostrobothnia in Western Finland directed to delegates of council meetings interpreted between Finnish and Swedish. The other study comprises interpreter interviews on the subject of practical knowledge related to interpreting and interpreted events. The conclusions are that clients, organisers, interpreting agencies, institutions and other participants involved in the activity of interpreting should be widely included in the development of the field and that the outcome of the development should be thoroughly implemented in practice and reported to all those affected by it.
Saavutettavuus: haaste kielensisäisen tekstityksen kehittämiselle
Authors: Tiittula Liisa
Published: June 2024

The aim of this article is to present subtitling for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH) as well as to discuss its challenges for the translators and the researchers. Due to a new Government Degree concerning public communication services, domestic TV programmes must be subtitled up to a certain percentage by 2016. Intralingual subtitles are claimed to serve many viewers, among them language learners. However, the needs of different target groups are not the same. When the sound is missing, the recipient cannot even know who is speaking. If the aim of the SDH is to produce an “equivalent effect”, the subtitles should convey, in addition to the verbal message the meaning of sounds (voices, sound effects, music). This raises many questions not only about the practical rendering techniques but also for the research, for example: How are subtitled programmes received by different target groups or what is the role of music in the reception of films? Another major question is also the development of real time subtitling for live programmes. At the end of this article, another kind of intralingual captioning, surtitling in theatre is shortly discussed.
The Ghost at the Banquet: Apparitions of Paavo Cajander and Yrjö Jylhä in the Editorial Work on Contemporary Finnish Shakespeare Translations
Authors: Siponkoski Nestori
Published: June 2024

This article examines how Paavo Cajander’s and Yrjö Jylhä’s canonised translations are represented in the editorial comments contained in the manuscripts of six contemporary Finnish Shakespeare translations. The method involves locating all direct references to these canonised translations in the editorial comments and categorising them into positive and negative according to their function. The theoretical framework makes use of Marvin Carlson’s (2006) concept of ghosting, which is here understood as an encounter between the translator’s draft and the editor’s memory. Such an encounter may evoke “ghosts” of previous similar encounters, that is, the translator’s solutions may be intertextually interpreted by the editors in the light of previous translation solutions, most notably those in the canonised translations. The article concludes by assessing the canonised translators’ visibility in and significance for the production process and, more generally, draws attention to the role of various kinds of authorities (e.g. previous translations) that are present in the editing process and therefore have the potential to affect translation production alongside the source text.
The space between the data and the concepts
Authors: Chesterman Andrew
Published: June 2024

The space between data and concepts is filled with hypotheses, which make up everything we call methodology. This claim is explained via a discussion of the role of interpretive, descriptive and explanatory hypotheses in methodology. The discussion is followed by an examination of the criteria that make any hypothesis a significant one, worth testing. As an example we take the well-known literal translation hypothesis. This states that as translators process a given text segment, they tend to proceed from more literal versions to less literal ones. The main criteria on which a hypothesis can be justified as significant are: explicitness, multiple testability, theoretical implications (links with other hypotheses), applicability to other research problems, surprise value, and explanatory power. Several other hypotheses in Translation Studies will be referred to en route, including Toury’s laws, Seleskovitch’s deverbalization, Tirkkonen-Condit’s unique items, Halverson’s gravitational pull and Pym’s risk avoidance.
Poliittinen metafora suomi–venäjä-käännöksissä: Kognitiivinen lähestymistapa
Authors: Belikova Alexandra
Published: June 2024

Cognitive view of metaphor can be of great use for translation studies inasmuch as it provides new convincing explanations for a wide range of metaphor translations found in political discourse, e.g. accounting for replacement or omission of the original image in the target text in terms of cognitive conflict. This paper interprets the process of rendering metaphors in a translation as a complex cognitive activity which is determined by both structures of source and target languages and a strategy of foreignization or domestication (semi-)deliberately chosen by translator. It is supposed that a set of various kinds of metaphor translations constitutes a continuous scale within the poles of domestication and foreignization and a large number of intermediate cases. The body of evidence used in the article for establishing the continuum is taken from the parallel Finnish-Russian corpus of newspaper texts.
Sveitsiläiset kummikirjeet suomalaisille sotaorvoille – arjen tekstejä kääntämisen haasteina
Authors: Männikkö Anne
Published: June 2024

During and after the Second World War, i.e. between 1940 and 1958, Finnish war orphans received letters from sponsors both in Finland and abroad in addition to material and financial aid. The aim of this article is to present some preliminary results of a study that attempts to find out how the translation of these letters was organized, and what kind of problems and challenges the organization and the translators were faced with. The research is based not only on information offered by archives and literature but also on private, authentic letters preserved from that time. The presentation is focused on Switzerland and includes authentic letters written in German and sent to a Finnish family by a Swiss sponsor. The research shows that the translation of the correspondence between the sponsor and the families required extensive and systematic organization. It also shows that the resources of the aid organization (Mannerheim League Committee for the Sponsoring of War Orphans) responsible for the correspondence could neither cope with the number of letters nor meet the high standards and ideals set for the translations. As a result many letters were translated by ordinary volunteers outside the organization, and in many cases the responsibility for the translation was left with the receiving families.
Elokuvan kuvailutulkkaus semioottisena kääntämisenä multimodaalisessa diskurssissa
Authors: Hirvonen Maija
Published: June 2024

This article sketches the characteristics of a novel form of translation, audio description, as a type of inter-semiotic translation. In audio description, visual information is translated into an oral utterance in order to enhance the reception of visual or multimodal communication for blind and visually impaired people. Audio description can be used in various audio-/visual contexts such as cinema, theatre, and museums. In my article, I will focus especially on the audio description in filmic narratives. Filmic narrative is a multi-semiotic discourse that poses special challenges to audio description because of the interplay between different modes of expression, the constraint of time and the differences in visual and verbal communication. This paper aims to look at these challenges and present some strategies that are used to overcome them. The strategies will be illustrated by examples. In conclusion, I will discuss some general matters concerning the transfer between the visual and verbal modes.
Kääntäjät, koulutus ja kansanvalistus
Authors: Paloposki Outi
Published: June 2024

Translator training in Finland was recently celebrating its 40th anniversary. Training is not a oneway process, though; translators, too, have been training and educating ordinary readers throughout the nearly five hundred years of Finland’s literary history. Tasks such as selecting and putting together material to be translated, adapting it to Finnish environment and needs, or explaining the many strange or difficult phenomena and issues for the readers, have always been as central intranslators’ work as translation itself. Furthermore, translators have created new vocabulary and participated in the discussions on developing or standardizing written language. In this article, I will discuss the translators’ different roles and focus on cultural mediation through translators’ footnotes. The practice of annotation has not been widely researched, strangely enough: it is a rich field of insights for the study of translators’ agency and visibility, among other things.
Oikeat toimeksiannot tulkkausopetuksessa
Authors: Vik-Tuovinen Gun-Viol
Published: June 2024

In 2006 the section for teachers and researchers of The Finnish Association of Translators and Interpreters published online instructions for the use of authentic translations in the teaching of translation. The instructions were based on a survey of the use of authentic translations in translation teaching at universities in Finland. The survey was conducted by Leena Salmi from University of Turku. This paper presents an extension of that survey with a questionnaire to teachers of interpreting. Half of the eight university departments contributing to the survey report that they include real assignments in the teaching of interpreting. Those who do not, try to create training opportunities in authentic-like situations. Based on two of my earlier surveys, the paper also presents some opinions of professional interpreters and interpreting students on training in authentic interpreting situations. The teachers, the interpreters and the interpreting students all share the view that real assignments are a good complement to classroom teaching, but that assignments should be used only for advanced students. They also stress the importance of acting according to the code of ethics for interpreters.

El Reino de Dios como utopía. Las protestas y propuesta de Jesús frente al reino político
Authors: Watanabe José
Published: June 2024

El Reino de Dios como el mundo ideal esperado desde la perspectiva de los desposeídos cuestiona el mudo hecho para los poderosos “señores” que bajo el dominio y la opresión sojuzgan a las personas para mantener sus estatus, privilegios y comodidad. La ética del Reino de Dios en el campo social, económico y político sirve de base para la formación de una nuevasociedad o una sociedad alterna más justa. El reino del mundo (imperio romano) se caracterizapor la desigualdad social tanto económica y política; exclusión, opresión; competencia tanto económica, religiosa, política; una sociedad consumista, depredadora tanto humana como ecológica, violenta, etc. A este mundo se opone el Reino de Dios, que no es de este mundo (notiene un origen pecaminoso), sino es santo, esto es, es totalmente otro.
La evolución del discurso de la Teología de la Liberación durante la dictadura chilena. El caso de los periódicos clandestinos No Podemos Callar y Policarpo
Authors: Riobó Enrique
Published: June 2024

El eje principal de este artículo será la forma en que la teología de la liberación –entendida como un prisma hermenéutico cristiano- influye de manera importante endinámicas políticas, en este caso la resistencia a la dictadura a través de la prensa clandestina. En ese sentido, considero que será muy importante comprender si se mantiene, o no, unmismo discurso y si no, cómo, cuándo y el porqué de los cambios. Es decir, cuestionarse en qué medida la teología de la liberación comienza a comprenderse en torno a lógicas políticas,regidas más por los momentos históricos vividos que por una visión religiosa que va mucho más allá que los problemas de la coyuntura –aun comprendiendo que la teología de laliberación busca ser lo más histórica posible. Esto trataré de llevarlo a cabo a través del análisis de dos periódicos cristianos clandestinos de la época, No Podemos Callar y Policarpo.

En términos de perspectiva teórica, el autor retoma lapropuesta de Geertz de entender la religión como un sistema de acción que opera comomecanismo de integración de significado y motivación, presuponiendo con ello unaantropología simbólica que hace hincapié en la dimensión cultural del clásico esquemaparsoniano de la acción. Esto se ve complementado y matizado por la incorporación de lalógica de luchas simbólicas generadas por los actores del campo religioso propuesta porBourdieu, en diálogo con una rica tradición de estudios sobre el pentecostalismo Iberoamericano.
“Lo familiar en las creencias y las creencias en lo familiar”: Familia, transmisión y religión en la Argentina actual.
Authors: Giménez-Béliveau Verónica , Mosqueira Mariela
Published: June 2024

En tanto dispositivo central de la reproducción social, la familia es una palanca fundamental de la transmisión de la religión. Es que el grupo doméstico, actúa tanto en el plano de lo “físico” como de lo “espiritual”: la reproducción social en las sociedades occidentales modernas reconoce como uno de sus lugares privilegiados a la familia nuclear, y esto se refiere tanto a la reproducción de sus miembros (nacimientos) como a la reproducción de valores, estándares de vida, posiciones sociales y también adscripciones, prácticas y creencias religiosas. La propuesta de este trabajo es trazar algunas líneas de análisis en torno al eje familia-religión en la Argentina actual centrándonos en la transmisión familiar de las religiones. Reflexionaremos sobre la incidencia de lo familiar en la conformación de identidades religiosas y, a su vez, cómo lo religioso contribuye diferencialmente a la cohesión de las unidades domésticas. Para ello, analizaremos las tramas de la transmisión y apropiación familiar de creencias, prácticas y ritosreligiosos en la estructura social argentina.

Este artículo pretende identificar los orígenes históricos de la llegada del  pentecostalismo Asambleas de Dios a la ciudad de Cartagena de Indias entre los años de 1970 y 1972. Se considera inicialmente que esto responde  una evolución religiosa enmarcada en una serie de transformaciones sociales, políticas y económicas en el contexto latinoamericano. Particularmente, en Cartagena, los orígenes se relacionan con la raíz pura del Pentecostalismo, consistente en iniciar predicando entre los marginados de una ciudad inequitativa y a la vez  receptora de una amplia masa de campesinos desheredados y expulsados de un campo que cada vez tenía pocas expectativas de vida.

La invocación del nombre de Dios en las Constituciones Federales brasileñas: religión, política y laicidad
Authors: Ranquetat César
Published: June 2024

En este artículo busco describir y analizar los debates y enfrentamientos ocurridos a lo largo de la historia brasileña debido a la inclusión del nombre de Dios en el preámbulo de la Constitución Federal. La invocación del nombre de Dios, presente en casi todas las constituciones federales brasileñas, es una de las principales razones presentadas para justificar y legitimar la presencia de personas religiosas en los espacios públicos. Como se verá, esta controversia revela posiciones divergentes respecto de la relación entre Estado y religión. También expresa diferentes concepciones sobre el papel y el lugar de la religión en el sistema legal y constitucional brasileño, y en la vida social y política misma.
Pensamiento dogmático y privatización de la educación: una aproximación a la educación en el hogar en evangélicos mexicanos. Morelos, México.
Authors: García Carolina
Published: June 2024

En este trabajo se propone discutir la importancia de lo afectivo en la conformación de marcos de interpretación respecto a la forma de implicación en el mundo dentro del  proyecto educativo de evangélicos que educan en el hogar. La educación en el hogar es la práctica en la que padres educan a sus hijos en sus casas, por su propia cuenta, sin asistencia escolar. El estudio se realizó en una ciudad de Morelos, México, a partir de la aplicación de entrevistas y grupos focales de padres educadores en el hogar de orientación evangélica. Este trabajo se desarrolla en tres momentos. Primero, se muestran los antecedentes de la educación en el hogar y su difusión en México. Segundo, se propone una caracterización de los educadores en el hogar con la descripción de sus principales rasgos. Finalmente, se discute la relevancia que ha tenido la dimensión religiosa en el crecimiento de la educación en el hogar y el significado de lo religioso en la reproducción de interpretaciones particulares sobre la familia y el espacio público.
