  The Making of Barbarians (eBook, PDF)

  A groundbreaking account of translation and identity in the Chinese literary tradition before 1850-with important ramifications for todayDebates on the canon, multiculturalism, and world literature often take Eurocentrism as the target of their critique. But literature is a universe with many centers, and one of them is China. The Making of Barbarians offers an account of world literature in which China, as center, produces its own margins. Here Sinologist and comparatist Haun Saussy investigates the meanings of literary translation, adaptation, and appropriation on the boundaries of China long before it came into sustained contact with the West.When scholars talk about comparative literature in Asia, they tend to focus on translation between European languages and Chinese, Korean, and Japanese, as practiced since about 1900. In contrast, Saussy focuses on the period before 1850, when the translation of foreign works into Chinese was rare because Chinese literary tradition overshadowed those around it.The Making of Barbarians looks closely at literary works that were translated into Chinese from foreign languages or resulted from contact with alien peoples. The book explores why translation was such an undervalued practice in premodern China, and how this vast and prestigious culture dealt with those outside it before a new group of foreigners-Europeans-appeared on the horizon.

  Human Manipulation Modes: Either You Are Manipulating or You Are Being Manipulated: Catalog of Human Souls, Book 3 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 396min

  Do you think that no one can control you? Well, we sincerely feel sorry for you, because it means that you do not know anything about natural manipulation modes. Manipulation modes are the "factory settings" of Mother Nature itself; they are built in to the structure of psyche of Homo sapiens at the level of instincts and unconditioned reflexes - meaning inborn reactions of an organism to certain influences of the external or the internal environment. Manipulation modes are implanted in the unconscious part of human psyche since birth. Any representative of the biological type Homo sapiens has three of these modes: suppressing, balancing, and stimulating. Originally, they are modes of self-correction and self-regulation intended to ensure that a human could regulate the state of his psychophysiology and behavior from within himself. However, as it turned out, if you know natural manipulation modes of an individual and transmit them toward him or her from the outside, then he or she becomes 100 percent controllable, like a robot machine. It is impossible to notice the application of natural manipulation modes. The influence bypasses the consciousness and intellect of the subject of manipulation. No one is able to notice the transmittance of natural manipulation modes toward him or her, regardless of his or her professional skills, educational level, life experience, and intuition, as these modes are an inherent part of the individual structure of human psyche. They are his or her own native, which is called "closer than skin". The unprecedented power of this tool and its effectiveness are probably due to the fact that it is nature's creation. Nobody invented or developed manipulation modes. Information about this natural mechanism and practical tool for managing a human are of a very archaic origin. Both were accidentally found by a Russian researcher-sinologist, Andrey Davydov, while he was studying one very a ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Larry David Eudene.
