Doelstelling: De tweeledige doelstelling van deze masterproef bestaat erin een vertaling te maken van het kortverhaal Toomai of the Elephants van Rudyard Kipling en daarna de cultuurspecifieke referenties uit het verhaal te bespreken. Middelen of methode: Er wordt nagegaan wat de functie en de betekenis van die referenties is en hoe ze vertaald worden door de brontekst te vergelijken met de eigen vertaling en een gepubliceerde vertaling van J. & M. Duyvewaert uit 1961. Voor de analyse werd het classificatiemodel van Stefaan Evenepoel en Piet Van Poucke gebruikt en de vertaaltechnieken van Andrew Chesterman. Na een beknopte annotatie van de cultuurspecifieke referentie wordt telkens de vertaalkeuze toegelicht. Resultaten: De analyse toont aan dat de cultuurspecificiteit van de referenties in dit verhaal ongewoon is, aangezien het Indische referenties betreft in een Britse tekst. Cultuurspecificiteit is ook duidelijk geen absoluut gegeven, er zijn verschillende gradaties. Uit de gebruikte vertaaltechnieken blijkt dat de vertalers hebben gepoogd zoveel mogelijk de couleur locale in het verhaal te bewaren.

Drawing on accounts from India to Africa and California to Tennessee, and on research in neuroscience, psychology, and animal behavior, G. A. Bradshaw explores the minds, emotions, and lives of elephants. Wars, starvation, mass culls, poaching, and habitat loss have reduced elephant numbers from more than ten million to a few hundred thousand, leaving orphans bereft of the elders who would normally mentor them. As a consequence, traumatized elephants have become aggressive against people, other animals, and even one another; their behavior is comparable to that of humans who have experienced genocide, other types of violence, and social collapse. By exploring the elephant mind and experience in the wild and in captivity, Bradshaw bears witness to the breakdown of ancient elephant cultures.All is not lost. People are working to save elephants by rescuing orphaned infants and rehabilitating adult zoo and circus elephants, using the same principles psychologists apply in treating humans who have survived trauma. Bradshaw urges us to support these and other models of elephant recovery and to solve pressing social and environmental crises affecting all animals, human or not.

In the late eighteenth century, the British took greater interest than ever before in observing and recording all aspects of the natural world. Travelers and colonists returning from far-flung lands provided dazzling accounts of such exotic creatures as elephants, baboons, and kangaroos. The engraver Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) harnessed this newfound interest by assembling the most comprehensive illustrated guide to nature of his day.A General History of Quadrupeds, first published in 1790, showcases Bewick's groundbreaking engraving techniques that allowed text and i
