Brexit, episode 16

There is a lot of confusing news articles around. This is clearer than most, and deals with what might happen in October. https://www.rte.ie/amp/1078626/

Thème Corrections

I am hoping that I have now corrected the translations of all the students who sent me one (of Sabatier). If I forgot yours, I will fix it next week. I understand that many of you have another class next Wednesday morning, so there will be fewer of us. Naturally, you may send me the next translation if you have the energy.

Séminaire H G Wells

Ce mardi 24 septembre 2019, Maxim Shadurski (University of Siedcle, Poland), viendra présenter son ouvrage, The Nationality of Utopia: H. G. Wells, England and the World State (Routledge, 2019), au séminaire de l’ERIAC (programme 1: http://eriac.univ-rouen.fr/the-nationality-of-utopia-h-g-wells-england-and-the-world-state/).

Le séminaire a lieu à partir de 16h30 en salle du CETAS (A 506) mais la présentation aura lieu vers 17h et vous êtes les bienvenus.

Crucial translation tool

As you must be aware, the more complex the translation, the more one finds dictionaries to be insufficient. They need ot be supplemented with Google and with other such tools. One of these is the British National Corpus, which is a huge collection of varied texts in British English, so you can find how words and phrases are used. If you don't know whether to say "scientific committee" or "scientific board", you will find out here ...

Popular culture ... a comic sketch from 1931

L3 popular culture: reality TV and history

I will be putting up here most weeks links to videos or other content connected with our subject matter. This is an episode of a "historical reality TV show". The programme takes a Black British family from the 21st century, and asks them to live like a Black family might have lived in the Britain of the 1970s.

This is both a picture of social life in the 1970s, and an example of popular television today, in which many different kinds of reality TV attract large audiences, and historical reality TV is one important strand.
