ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS” (Orwell 2008, 90). George Orwell, who was also in service of the Indian Imperial Police from 1922–1927 and then in 1936 worked for the Left Book Club, where his job was to write about unemployment and the worsening economic situation in the north of England, saw it clearly that despite the rising liberal ideas equality is very far from the ethnicities of the British Isles (Blakeley 1993, 233). Therefore, based on this observation, the aim of this essay is to shed some light upon the various aspects that led to both to Irish independence and the Troubles, which drive the politics of today and the relationship between the British and the Irish. Namely, I put emphasis on the discrimination from both sides, the rising national consciousness and the social rift.

Initially, when I was preparing for one of my presentations this semester, I intentionally chose The Hamletmachine by Heiner Müller, because it seemed the most intriguing and engaging that can be strong enough to even conjure physical and embodied reactions from my audience.

History is a narrative, our retelling of reality, of events. And it is a simulacrum, because it is only our relationship between reality and also the retelling of our experiences; thus it is not a direct link to reality, but only a simulation of it.

In short: it is a step of the translation process. Regarding films, series or video games, this step tends to be categorised as a separate process or activity. However, it is still translation, but with an additional focus on the target culture. For example, it is one thing to translate symbols, metonymy, metaphors or allegory from one language to another, it is a totally different thing to carry over the feelings and the hidden meanings behind them. Mostly, symbolism is very different between cultures and may totally mean opposite things. As a result, it is an important step in translation, for this ensures that the true meaning is conveyed.

I would like to invite everyone to watch the 5th episode of the Farewell to the White Wolf Extended Edition with Polish dubbing.

Neon-Budapest written by Neon Genesis Kunság is a perfect satire of today’s Hungary and to a degree of the Western World. For some it can prove scary, for it represents and stands for all the horrors that extreme notions and ideologies represent. It puts to the test...

A fine and remarkable day it is today. We could witness a very prominent event in British history, which was last witnessed only by our grandparents and great-grandparents. The coronation of III Charles. But allow me to raise two questions: why is it important and what does it stand for?
