Relations between Iran and Azerbaijan in Caspian Region

Geopolitical, economic and social aspects of processes running in the Caspian region have brought them to the forefront of the international arena. Because of huge reserves of oil and disinclination of main regional states to adjust their antagonisms towards borders in the Caspian Sea this area has a great conflict potential. My analysis of the situation is based on the investigation of the relations between Iran and Azerbaijan.

The Tokaido Road: Time Travel

My report deals with the historical road in Japan, which has historical and cultural value for the Japanese nation. The road itself originated in the 7th century. The starting point was the imperial capital of Kyoto and the final point was the center of the shogunate Edo, formed in 1457. The entire length of the road was 514 kilometers; 53 stations were built along the road. This phenomenon is the subject of many studies, but so far it is poorly understood. Therefore, its study and reconstruction can be the basis for creating a full-fledged tour, which would retain the features of that Japan, we don’t learn anywhere else.

Übersetzungsmöglichkeiten der kulturspezifischen Lexik (Deutsch-Russisch)

Zu unterscheiden ist bei der Auseinandersetzung mit dem Phänomen der Kulturspezifika zwischen den ältern einzelsprachlichen Ansätzen und neueren ganzheitlichen Betrachtungsweisen. Funktionale translationstheoretische Ansätze beispielsweise beruhen auf der Basishypothese, kulturelle und nicht lediglich sprachliche Unterschiede stellten das zentrale Problem für die interkulturelle Kommunikation dar.

Der Übersetzer muss über eine bikulturelle Kompetenz verfügen, die es ihm erlaubt alle Nuancen und Anspielungen in gleichem Maße zu verstehen und diese wiederzugeben.

Bei der nachfolgenden Analyse soll von sogenannten Realieblexemen ausgegangen werden und aufgezeigt werden, inwiefern sie mit Kultur, Gewchichte und Wesen der Deutschen verknüpft sind.
