Актуальность статьи обусловлена необходимостью обеспечить соответствие качества вузовской подготовки выпускников современным требованиям к профессиональной деятельности в условиях рыночного социально-экономического пространства. Потребность сферы переводческих услуг в конкурентоспособных специалистах диктует постановку соответствующих задач перед вузами. Одной из таких задач является развитие у студентов качеств конкурентоспособной личности в учебной деятельности. В данной статье рассматривается процесс освоения письменного перевода как будущей профессиональной деятельности и условия, способствующие развитию конкурентоспособной личности студента в процессе обучения письменному переводу. Традиционный подход к изучению и формированию конкурентоспособного специалиста имеет определенные недостатки, один из которых состоит в несоответствии категориального аппарата, заимствованного из экономической науки, современной гуманистической парадигме высшего профессионального образования. В качестве решения соответствующей проблемы автором предлагаются и описываются организационно-педагогические условия развития комплекса качеств конкурентоспособной личности студента в обучении письменному переводу, разработанные на основе положений теории конкуренции, более адекватных с точки зрения гуманистических принципов. В качестве инструмента реализации данных условий в процессе обучения автором предлагается комплекс дидактических средств развития конкурентоспособной личности студента в учебной деятельности. Приведены результаты экспериментальной работы по внедрению данного комплекса в процесс обучения письменному переводу в рамках дополнительного образования. Результаты свидетельствуют о положительном влиянии представленных педагогических мер на обучающихся.
The urgency of the article is due to the need to provide correspondence between the quality of professional training at universities and the requirements for professional occupation in current social and economical conditions. There is a high demand for translation services for specialists able to work successfully in competitive professional environment which is a social mandate for universities. This results in the need to develop student's personal qualities peculiar for a competitive specialist in the learning process. We focus on learning written translation as future profession and on the conditions facilitating development of student's competitive personality in the learning process. There are some weaknesses in the traditional approach to investigating and training competitive specialists, in particular, lack of correspondence between the concepts derived from economical science and the humanistic paradigm of the modern professional education at universities. To solve the problem concerned some organizational and pedagogical conditions have been developed and described in this article aimed at developing a combination of qualities specific for student's competitive personality on the basis of more adequate, in terms of humanistic principles, competition theories. These conditions apply to the use in the learning process with a combination of teaching tools aimed at developing student's competitive personality in the learning process. Some results of experimental work to use these tools in teaching written translation under supplementary programme are presented. The results obtained prove the positive impact of the proposed techniques on students.

"Our encounters with websites, avatars, videos, mobile apps, discussion forums, GIFs, and nonhuman intelligent agents allow us to experience sensations of connectivity, interest, desire, and attachment -- as well as detachment, boredom, fear, and shame. Some affective online encounters may arouse complex, contradictory feelings that resist dualistic distinctions. In this book, leading scholars examine the fluctuating and altering dynamics of affect that give shape to online connections and disconnections. Doing so, they tie issues of circulation and connectivity to theorizations of networked affect. Their diverse investigations -- considering subjects that range from online sexual dynamics to the liveliness of computer code -- demonstrate the value of affect theories for Internet studies. The contributors investigate networked affect in terms of intensity, sensation, and value. They explore online intensities that range from Tumblr practices in LGBTQ communities to visceral reactions to animated avatars; examine the affective materiality of software in such platforms as steampunk culture and nonprofit altporn; and analyze the ascription of value to online activities including the GTD ("getting things done") movement and the accumulation of personal digital materials."

Immunization, GMOs, epidemics, contraception, climate change - these are controversial subjects where science seems as much a judge as a party. But what do we really know about how science and technology work? Rented or hated, they are an integral part of our lives, without us always understanding how, or why. This unique dictionary maps our complex links with science and technology as human phenomena. It details the vocabulary and questions of the "STS" (Sciences, technologies and societies), field of human sciences dedicated to the critical understanding of knowledge and their uses. Each entry presents the state of research on a specific aspect of science and technology and reports on theoretical achievements, survey methods and ongoing debates. The fruit of the network of expertise of the Interuniversity Center for Research on Science and Technology (CIRST), this book mobilizes several disciplines - sociology, philosophy, management, communication, political science, history, economics and scientometry -, while highlighting 'before common concepts. The general public, students, policymakers and researchers will find a necessary reference tool to think differently about these issues that feed our concerns and our greatest hopes.

Der Beitrag gibt einen Einstieg in das sowohl konzeptionell als auch forschungspraktisch bisher kaum erschlossene Feld der Dispositivanalyse. Dazu werden erstens die Begriffe Diskurs und Dispositiv als analytische Konzepte erläutert und aufeinander bezogen. Zweitens erfolgt eine Sichtung des konzeptionellen Instrumentariums und analytischen Vorgehens der Dispositivanalyse. Davon ausgehend werden drittens die machtanalytischen Verhältnisbestimmungen zwischen (a) diskursiven/nicht-diskursiven Praxen, (b) Subjektivation/Subjektivierung, (c) alltagsweltlichen Wissensordnungen und (d) gesellschaftlichem Wandel als Leitfragen der Dispositivanalyse entfaltet. Mit Blick auf aktuelle dispositivanalytische Forschungsfelder werden abschließend die methodologischen wie methodischen Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Dispositivanalyse beispielhaft skizziert. Generell zielt der Beitrag auf eine systematische Weiterung diskurstheoretischer Forschungsperspektiven und diskursanalytischer Forschungspraxis, indem der Wechselbezug zwischen normierenden Wissensordnungen, ihren konkreten handlungspraktischen Wirksamkeiten im sozialen Austausch von Menschen und die damit einhergehenden Selbst-Bezüge als Subjektivitäten empirisch in den Blick zu nehmen sind.

Ambassadors of Social Progress examines the ways in which blind activists from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe entered the postwar international disability movement and shaped its content and its course. Maria Cristina Galmarini shows that the international work of socialist blind activists was defined by the larger politics of the Cold War and, in many respects, represented a field of competition with the West in which the East could shine. Yet, her study also reveals that socialist blind politics went beyond propaganda. When socialist activists joined the international blind movement, they initiated an exchange of experiences that profoundly impacted everyone involved. Not only did the international blind movement turn global disability welfare from philanthropy to self-advocacy, but it also gave East European and Soviet activists a new set of ideas and technologies to improve their own national movements. By analyzing the intersection of disability and politics, Ambassadors of Social Progress enables a deeper, bottom-up understanding of cultural relations during the Cold War. Galmarini significantly contributes to the little-studied history of disability in socialist Europe, and ultimately shows that disability activism did not start as an import from the West in the post-1989 period, but rather had a long and meaningful tradition that was rooted in the socialist system of welfare and needed to be reinvented when this system fell apart
