  Negotiation is a method by which people settle differences. It is a process by which compromise or agreement is reached while avoiding argument and dispute.In any disagreement, individuals understandably aim to achieve the best possible outcome for their position (or perhaps an organisation they represent). However, the principles of fairness, seeking mutual benefit and maintaining a relationship are the keys to a successful outcome.Specific forms of negotiation are used in many situations: international affairs, the legal system, government, industrial disputes or domestic relationships as examples. However, general negotiation skills can be learned and applied in a wide range of activities.  Negotiation skills can be of great benefit in resolving any differences that arise between you and others.Stages of Negotiation1. PreparationBefore any negotiation takes place, a decision needs to be taken as to when and where a meeting will take place to discuss the problem and who will attend.  Setting a limited time-scale can also be helpful to prevent the disagreement continuing.2. DiscussionDuring this stage, individuals or members of each side put forward the case as they see it, i.e. their understanding of the situation. 3. Clarifying GoalsFrom the discussion, the goals, interests and viewpoints of both sides of the disagreement need to be clarified.4. Negotiate Towards a Win-Win OutcomeThis stage focuses on what is termed a 'win-win' outcome where both sides feel they have gained something positive through the process of negotiation and both sides feel their point of view has been taken into consideration. 5. AgreementAgreement can be achieved once understanding of both sides’ viewpoints and interests have been considered. 6. Implementing a Course of ActionFrom the agreement, a course of action has to be implemented to carry through the decision.Now it's time to take action

  Dile que le he escrito un blues...

  A partir de un verso de Joaquín Sabina, "Dile que le he escrito un blues", pero también de la interdisciplinariedad de George Steiner, de la crítica musical y literaria de Edward Said o de las concepciones antagónicas sobre la interpretación de Stravinsky o Borges, este libro aborda la traducción entendiéndola en su sentido más amplio: como una actividad heterotópica a caballo entre espacios y tiempos epistemológicos diversos; una actividad que atraviesa, no solo todas las artes contemporáneas, desde la música y la pintura o la danza hasta la literatura, sino también cada momento de nuestra vida, desde el nacimiento hasta el ocaso.
  
  Traducir es dejarse seducir por las palabras, y también seducir a las palabras. Lo realmente difícil de traducir no es averiguar lo que el texto dice sino lo que no dice explícitamente, a través de los ruidos y de las melodías de las palabras. La música y la traducción son formas de comunicación, y lo que comunican es información pero también emociones. Ese es el objetivo de este libro. Reflexionar sobre la sabiduría que se torna audible al oído que piensa. El conocimiento hecho música. La cuestión de cómo piensa el oído, de qué pensamos al escuchar o de cómo y qué escuchamos al pensar. Y es que a todos, pero especialmente a los traductores, las palabras nos abren los ojos y nos meten en el mundo y nos animan a mirar de reojo y a cantar. Con ellas reconstruimos tristezas ajenas en lágrimas propias y reinventamos laberintos al recibir mensajes a veces indescifrables.
  
  Sin embargo, traducir siempre es posible, aun en aquellos casos en los que las palabras nos crean y nos recrean, nos hacen creer y descreer, nos obligan a anudar incertidumbres y a acariciar lo que tal vez de otro modo, desde otra profesión, nunca hubiéramos querido tocar.
