Çeviri Çalışmaları
Burada çeşitli kitap ve dergilere ait çeviriler yer alacaktır. Amatör bir uğraştır.
1) Technofascism: Joel Kabakov
What is it about Rachel Carson’s Silent Spring (1962) that transports so many readers into “life changing” exhortations? Is it the direct yet compassionate radical message of what we as a species have failed to realize in our reckless trajectory toward oblivion? Is it whistle blowing of the highest order? Does it offer solutions along with critical analysis? Whatever the formula for success, her success—despite attempts to ban the book—is not arguable. Were her book to attain a modicum of comparable acceptance in these dystopic times then her mission will have been accomplished. She is not above emulation of the masters, a practice she learned as a composer, not an author. But it is something that suits well whatever creative endeavor we practice. Her response to all queries remains, “read the book.”
Bu kitabın çevirisiyle biraz uğraşıyorum. Keyfe keder uğraş. Ne de olsa amatör meşgale diyelim. Acelem yok, yetiştirme zorunluluğum yok. Ne zaman biterse o zaman paylaşmaya çalışırım.

2) Lumumba: Africa’s Lost Leader
Patrice Lumumba (1926-61) is perhaps the most famous leader of the African independence movement. He became an icon of anti-imperialist struggle after his execution in 1961, when he had been prime minister of the newly liberated Congo for only seven months. As the news came out, his picture was brandished in demonstrations in capitals around the world, along with those of Che Guevara and Mao Zedong. His life and the independence that he sought for the Congo made him a pivotal figure of the 20th century, exposing ongoing Western colonialism and the problematic nature of the independence granted to huge swathes of the globe after 1945.
In this book, revised and updated to include new thinking on the Congo crisis and incorporating material recently released from British intelligence archives, Leo Zeilig tells the story of the Congo in the dying days of colonialism, and of Lumumba’s transition from nationalist to revolutionary to international symbol of African liberation.
Patrice Lumumba hakkında biraz bilgim var. Lakin yine de Lumumba hakkında araştırmaya devam. Bu kitapta Lumumba hakkında kısa bir tarih derlemesi içeriyor. İçeriği tam merak ettiğim için de o zaman biraz üzerinde çalışmak amacıyla yola koyuldum. Bakalım hayırlı olsun.

Hippocrasy: How doctors are betraying their oath
In Hippocrasy, rheumatologist and epidemiologist Rachelle Buchbinder and orthopaedic surgeon Ian Harris argue that the benefits of medical treatments are often wildly overstated and the harms understated. That overtreatment and overdiagnosis are rife. And the medical system is not fit for purpose: designed to deliver health care not health.
This powerful exposé reveals the tests, drugs and treatments that provide little or no benefit for patients and the inherent problem of a medical system based on treating rather than preventing illness. The book also provides tips to empower patients – do I really need this treatment? What are the risks? Are there simpler, safer options? What happens if I do nothing? Plus solutions to help restructure how medicine is delivered to help doctors live up to their Hippocratic Oath.
