Summary

The concept of 'translation of realia' is doubly conventional: realia are normally untranslatable (from a dictionary perspective) and, again, are normally not rendered (in context) by means of translation.
With respect to dictionary translation, however, "there are no words that could not be translated into another language, at least descriptively, i.e. by means of a widespread combination of words of the given language", and "what is not possible with respect to a single element, is possible with respect to a complex whole", i.e. with respect to a contextual translation.

    Animals Erased - Discourse...

    “Amazingly clear and incisive readings of a wide range of discourses related to animals and ecology” from the author of Ecolinguistics (Karla Armbruster, coeditor of Beyond Nature Writing). 
 
Animals are disappearing, vanishing, and dying out—not just in the physical sense of becoming extinct, but in the sense of being erased from our consciousness. Increasingly, interactions with animals happen at a remove: mediated by nature programs, books, and cartoons; framed by the enclosures of zoos and aquariums; distanced by the museum cases that display lifeless bodies.  
 
In this thought-provoking book, Arran Stibbe takes us on a journey of discovery, revealing the many ways in which language affects our relationships with animals and the natural world. Animal-product industry manuals, school textbooks, ecological reports, media coverage of environmental issues, and animal-rights polemics all commonly portray animals as inanimate objects or passive victims. In his search for an alternative to these negative forms of discourse, Stibbe turns to the traditional culture of Japan. Within Zen philosophy, haiku poetry, and even contemporary children’s animated films, animals appear as active agents, leading their own lives for their own purposes, and of value in themselves. 
 
“Those of us of cultures of the land—both working with and, yes, consuming animals—will applaud Arran Stibbe’s analysis of the loss of soul when right relationship is discarded.” —Alastair McIntosh, author of Soil and Soul
