ABSTRACT By looking simultaneously at the succession of translations of Pessoa into Swedish and the critical reception of Pessoa in Sweden, this article investigates when and how Pessoa became a point of reference in the Swedish literary field. The hypothesis is that there currently are two overlapping versions of Pessoa in circulation in Sweden. One is Pessoa as a metonym for Lisbon, the other is

ABSTRACT Since the mid-1990s, over 280,000 women, mostly from Asian countries, have settled in South Korea by marrying Korean men, forming so-called ‘multicultural families’. Government-funded multicultural family support centres (MFSCs) play a central role in the implementation of various support programmes for marriage migrant women and multicultural families. MFSC marriage migrant interpreters,

ABSTRACT This article focuses on the issue of capturing cultural references in subtitled translations. It addresses three shortcomings in current translation scholarship. First, most of the studies in audiovisual translation focused on cultural references are primarily based on European languages and contexts. Second, the typologies resulting from those studies focus solely on verbal references and

ABSTRACT The present study addresses the translation process of select Bengali Dalit short stories from two anthologies: Survival and Other Stories: Bangla Dalit Fiction in Translation (2012) and Stories of Social Awakening: Reflections of Dalit Refugee Lives of Bengal (2017). The translators of the marginalised texts have to grapple with the socio-political and cultural dimensions of the texts. The

ABSTRACT This paper explores flexible language strategies in interpreter-mediated interaction from a corpus-based, quantitative perspective, drawing on data from the Community Interpreting Database (ComInDat). Focusing in particular on utterances by interpreters that are classified as non-renditions, that is, which do not translate source talk by other participants, we compare interpreters across different

ABSTRACT Inspired by studies on minority language in translation and feminist translation studies, this article presents an analysis of a small corpus of Kurdish literature in English translation and examine the process of its constitution, its main actors and practices, and the image of Kurdish literature it depicts. In the absence of state and institutional support, Kurdish translation initiatives

ABSTRACT More than half of the world’s displaced population has moved to urban or peri-urban areas, and in Brussels, the superdiverse Belgian and European capital, the emergency care sector provides an important setting for analysing the multilingual challenges faced by health practitioners. To gain a better insight in the interactional dynamics of emergency department consultations with immigrant

ABSTRACT This article discusses challenges found in translator working papers from the process of translating the novel Les soleils des indépendances (Ahmadou Kourouma) into Norwegian. It also draws on interview material connected to the same translation process as well as a scholarly article written by the translator herself, Ingse Skattum. Anchored in the theoretical framework of genetic Translation

ABSTRACT The number of official translations of games in the videogame market of Iran is very scant. Additionally, the existing ones contain only dubbed or subtitled menus, dialogues and narrations, and it has left the rest of in-game texts untranslated. Therefore, the translation needs should be analysed, but study of the game platforms has been ignored. In view of this gap, the current study aimed

ABSTRACT Part of an ongoing research project mapping various segments of the Slovak translation industry, this follow-up study centres on investigating academic literary translators’ happiness at work. Although job satisfaction has been thoroughly researched in regard to various occupations, literary translators as an uneasy and marginal professional group have been somehow eschewed. The study aims

ABSTRACT This article critically examines the oft-cited historical narrative of Translation Studies that situates its birth in the post-war West. This narrative is referred to as the mythistory of Translation Studies, as its validity derives more from its circulation than from a knowledge of other traditions. The narrative in its various iterations is first analysed as an imperial myth, positing a

ABSTRACT This paper advances the concepts of translatophobia (the fear of translation) and translatophilia (the fetishisation of translation) to elucidate the tensions pivoting around translation in the development of copyright law. It addresses one specific issue at the intersection of these terms: ‘Does copyright law contradict itself in speaking of translations as original works?’ The paper argues

ABSTRACT This paper will present the results of semi-structured interviews collected from a sample of eight migrant adolescents between the ages of 11 and 16 years about their perceptions and experiences as child language brokers in Italy. The practice that is defined as Child Language Brokering (CLB) by international literature refers to the interpreting and translation activities carried out by migrant

ABSTRACT This article examines the (re)translation into English of Naguib Mahfouz’s 1959 novel Awlād Ḥāratinā as a socially-situated activity. Drawing on Bourdieu’s theory of practice, it analyses retranslation as an intrusive, symbolically-violent act in relation to a text which itself triggered unfavourable reactions when it was published in Arabic and when it subsequently appeared in English (re)translation

ABSTRACT Translation quality assessment (TQA) represents one of the most productive lines of research in Translation Studies (TS), with scholars proposing different TQA models. In parallel to these theoretical models is the emergence of a diverse array of assessment methods trialled and used to evaluate translation quality in different settings (e.g., error analysis, corpus-based evaluation, rubric

ABSTRACT In this article I consider how the themes of loss and absence are transmitted through multimodal retranslations of Joseph Joffo’s Un sac de billes (1973). The analysis explores how the visual functions as a language for Joseph Joffo – a new way of seeing, telling and remembering – and as an outlet through which knowledge of the Holocaust can be remediated. The article is divided into two main

ABSTRACT Historically translation has been an essential force in the casting of socially dominant ideologies and the narratives they spawn. However, the cultural turn in translation studies unearthed the manner translation can be exploited by ideological forces, and thus illustrated its manipulative capability. Drawing from previous works, this article presents various instances of translation manipulation

ABSTRACT In the most recent feminist movement in South Korea, women challenged misogynist discourses in various ways. They made vicious comments about those who created and disseminated misogynistic discourses. They also strongly demanded a revision of misogynistic texts and boycotted cultural products in which women were described inappropriately. Against this backdrop, the present study examines

ABSTRACT This article investigates the conceptual link between Translation Studies and International Development with, as its starting-point, the observation that development is a hermeneutic meaning-creating process which brings together Northern donors, and Southern partners and their communities in ‘contact zones’ of encounter. Using a case-study of Southern NGOs in Peru, the research explores the

ABSTRACT The essay charts the shifting place of Laocoon as an exemplum of translation across the arts of word and image from Pliny to Clement Greenberg. It uncovers a rich history of artistic translation, reproduction, and imitation of Laocoon in Renaissance drawing, painting, prints, decorative arts, and sculpture of every size and material, from plaster casts to table-top porcelains. The paper subsequently

ABSTRACT The notion of ‘prefigurative politics’ was key to the resurgence of global activist politics that began with protests against the World Trade Organisation in Seattle in 1999. Prefigurative politics attempts to create alternative ways of being and relating within protest spaces and rejects the separation of means from ends. The politics of prefiguration orient protest not towards the realisation

ABSTRACT This article focuses on a challenge faced by a collaborative research team working on autobiographical accounts in South Asian languages. Although several documents stated they were translations, both source and target texts were not preserved in each case. How could could we engage constructively with the implied presence of the source texts in the face of their material absence? This meant

ABSTRACT In this article, we show what insights can be gained by considering the relationship between expert and non-expert texts about scientific topics through the lens of ‘translation’. We focus specifically on the metaphors used to discuss climate change in a range of educational materials and in interviews with secondary school students in the UK. We show the complex web of relationships among

ABSTRACT In this article, we posit and explore the concept of ‘the translated deaf self’, tentatively defined as: ‘the socio-cultural impact for deaf sign language users of multiple, regular, lifelong experiences of being encountered by others and inter-subjectively known in a translated form, i.e. through sign language interpreters’. Regarding translation as both linguistic and non-linguistic, we

ABSTRACT Today, an increasing number of people are playing video games, hence the continued growth of the game industry’s annual revenue, surpassing $150 billion in 2019, exceeds those of music and film industries combined. Considering the huge international market, accumulating and analysing information about gamers’ opinions, attitudes and experiences is of necessity for the game localisation market

ABSTRACT The traditional definition of retranslation as the second or later rendering of a work into one same language is necessarily transformed when seen from a perspective informed by multimodality and intermediality. While the influence of multimodality on our understanding of translation practices has been variously discussed in the literature, little has been said about the relation between multimodality

ABSTRACT This paper applies the concept of retranslation within the context of cultural translation. The revised conceptualisation of retranslation is used as a point of departure for examining the representations of Yohanan (Hans) Simon’s evolving biography. Simon, an Israeli artist, translated and retranslated himself, metaphorically, both as an individual and an artist, throughout his life. By combining

ABSTRACT The paper analyses the graphic novel Kafka in its English original and its German and Polish translations. Written by David Zane Mairowitz and illustrated by Robert Crumb, the book offers an account of Franz Kafka’s life and a discussion of his works, combined with adaptations of his selected writings. It can be conceptualised as a retranslation on two levels: quotations from Kafka’s works

ABSTRACT Retranslation has received far less attention in the audiovisual translation field than in the literary domain, where it is deemed a positive phenomenon. Within the audiovisual field, retranslation tends to be either negatively received or overlooked. While some research over the past decade has focused on redubbing, resubtitling (i.e. comparing two or more sets of subtitles of the same source

ABSTRACT Translation studies scholars have traditionally studied texts that are called translations in the receiving cultures. But in the age of mass media, blogs, online journals, reader reviews, and fan fiction, the latest generation has taken translation to a new stage. Linguistic accuracy, once the primary criterion for analysis, recedes in importance; creativity and innovation are valued, and

ABSTRACT Translation scholars have so far studied religious texts largely in relation to the transnationalisation of canonical texts in the codex and printed book format. Religious publishing, however, extends to other, more ephemeral publications. The focus of this article is on Protestant tracts, which proliferated throughout the nineteenth century in connection with the Evangelical Revival. Translation

ABSTRACT Methodological approaches to glossary building have been proposed due to the increasing importance of glossaries in the specialized areas of technical and medical translation. However, there is little research with respect to glossaries made from the position of the translator in the field of literary translation. This article aims at filling this gap by focusing on glossary design for bilingual

ABSTRACT English seems to be everywhere in the world today, as omnipresent as money. Just as the US dollar has been the Latin, as it were, of world currency, so English has been the lingua franca of a ceaselessly globalising market economy. This is as true in the vastly diverse linguistic landscapes of Southeast Asia as it is in the irreducibly plural cultures of the United States. How did the hegemony

ABSTRACT Translation Studies (TS) has undergone a number of internal shifts. These have focused on so-called “travelling concepts”, such as ‘culture’ or ‘cognition’, and have been crucial in building and establishing the discipline. Both the concept of ‘paradigm (change)’ and that of ‘turn’ are used to refer to these shifts and frequently the two concepts are used synonymously. This essay will show

ABSTRACT English translations of Rabindranath Tagore have a complicated history of reception. This article contemplates the contemporary contexts in which Tagore translations emerge and circulate, by comparing two translations of Rabindranath Tagore’s short story ‘Shasti’ to narrate the terms of representing and translating gender in the global and local literary market.

ABSTRACT This study examines representativeness by compiling a sample of translations for textual analyses and a sample of translators for interviews. The process of achieving representativeness is exemplified by reporting on each case. The investigation is grounded in ongoing research on the strategies of literary translation from English to Czech that combines comparative text analyses and biographical

ABSTRACT By taking contemporary art as a starting-point to define translation, we set off on a fascinating journey through disciplines which do not contradict each other but improve each other. Thus we can see, with this transversality among disciplines, that “each of us is a bundle of fragments of other people’s souls, simply put together in a new way” (Hofstadter 2007, 252), that we are strange loops

ABSTRACT Audience research has a long tradition in media studies. Many audience studies focus on translated materials, particularly television programmes broadcast in different countries. The research is thus often conducted on viewers whose experiences have been shaped by a translation. However, questions of translation often play only a marginal role. Some studies do not mention translation at all

ABSTRACT Using theoretical frameworks drawn from the fields of cultural anthropology and political philosophy, this article pursues connections between disparate discussions of representation and identity politics to consider the determining role that translation plays in constructing relations of power between the translating ‘self’ and the translated ‘other’. With reference to a theatre translation

ABSTRACT Translation is by nature interdisciplinary and traditionally envisaged in relation to other arts and humanities disciplines. From social sciences to literary, art and media studies, Translation Studies incorporates their problematics and methodologies, as a way to advance the thinking about these other disciplines. However, such an outwardness is rarely recognised outside the realm of Translation

ABSTRACT Human-induced climate change will be a crucial determinant of future conditions on the planet. In this essay, we explore how translation can offer a way of thinking about new forms of subjectivity in the age of the Anthropocene. In order to do this, we argue that it is necessary to challenge a deeply rooted ontological prejudice in Western culture and take seriously the demands for new forms
