Taylor & Francis Ltd Translation and Race
Book SynopsisTranslation and Race brings together translation studies with critical race studies for a long-overdue reckoning with race and racism in translation theory and practice. This book explores the unbearable whiteness of translation in the West that excludes scholars and translators of color from the field and also upholds racial inequities more broadly.Outlining relevant concepts from critical race studies, Translation and Race demonstrates how norms of translation theory and practice in the West actually derive from ideas rooted in white supremacy and other forms of racism. Chapters explore translation's role in historical processes of racialization, racial capitalism and intellectual property, identity politics and Black translation praxis, the globalization of critical race studies, and ethical strategies for translating racist discourse. Beyond attempts to diversify the field of translation studies and the literary translation profession, this book ultimatelyTable of ContentsIntroduction: The Unbearable Whiteness of Translation 1.

Book SynopsisThis volume addresses the global reception of untranslatable concrete poetry.

Contributions range in subject matter from ancient Greek and Chinese pattern poems to modernist concrete poems from the Americas, Europe and Asia. This challenging body of experimental work offers creative challenges and opportunities to literary translators and unique pleasures to the sympathetic reader.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Translation as a Form
This is a book-length commentary on Walter Benjamin's 1923 essay Die Aufgabe des Übersetzers, best known in English under the title The Task of the Translator. Benjamin's essay is at once an immensely attractive work for top-flight theorists of translation and comparative literature and a frustratingly cryptic work that cries out for commentary. Almost every one of the claims he makes in it seems wildly counterintuitive, because he articulates none of the background support that would help readers place it in larger literary-historical contexts: Jewish mystical traditions from Philo Judaeus's Logos-based Neoplatonism to thirteenth-century Lurianic Kabbalah; Romantic and post-Romantic esotericisms from Novalis and the Schlegels to Hölderlin and Goethe; modernist avant-garde foreclosures on the public and generally the communicative contexts of literature.The book is divided into 78 passages, from one to a few sentences in length.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Community Translation
Book SynopsisCommunity translation or public service translation is on a global scale often unregulated and dependent on individual awareness, good will and even charity work. The social impact and mission of community translation, the key role of the translator's psycho-sociocultural awareness and its role depending on local and global changes in human migration and linguistic diversity make community translation a constantly evolving and yet under-investigated activity and profession. This book covers key practical and theoretical approaches towards community translation, providing insights into the current state of the field and the latest research, trends, guidelines, initiatives and gaps.Combining knowledge in the areas of translator ethics, pedagogy, legal, and social and health-related settings, this volume covers community translation in a wide range of countries and regions. Community Translation: Research and Practice is an essential guide both for those studying and workTrade Review"Congratulations and thanks to the editors for this much-needed work that makes an important contribution to the field of community translation, reflecting its growth as a discipline. This volume includes input from a wide range of international experts from both academia and professional practice, addressing an interesting variety of issues. This excellent work will increase the visibility of community translation as a specific area of practice, something we can be truly thankful for." Anne Martin, University of Granada, Spain"The 10 chapters in this very useful volume report on contemporary research in the context of community translation (CT) theory. They examine CT practice in such diverse settings as health care, criminal investigations and the documentation of life stories, and also provide valuable guidance as to how the skills necessary for effective CT can be taught.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Machine Learning in Translation
Book SynopsisMachine Learning in Translation introduces machine learning (ML) theories and technologies that are most relevant to translation processes, approaching the topic from a human perspective and emphasizing that ML and ML-driven technologies are tools for humans.Providing an exploration of the common ground between human and machine learning and of the nature of translation that leverages this new dimension, this book helps linguists, translators, and localizers better find their added value in a ML-driven translation environment. Part One explores how humans and machines approach the problem of translation in their own particular ways, in terms of word embeddings, chunking of larger meaning units, and prediction in translation based upon the broader context. Part Two introduces key tasks, including machine translation, translation quality assessment and quality estimation, and other Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks in translation. Part Three focuses on the role of Trade Review"Machine Learning in Translation by Wang and Sawyer offers a new and important perspective on the topic by discussing machine learning concepts from a linguistic perspective.

Taylor & Francis Ltd ComputerAssisted Literary Translation
Book SynopsisThis collection surveys the state of the art of computer-assisted literary translation (CALT), making the case for its potential to enhance literary translation research and practice.The volume brings together early career and established scholars from around the world in countering prevailing notions around the challenges of effectively implementing contemporary CALT applications in literary translation practice which has traditionally followed the model of a single translator focused on a single work. The book begins by addressing key questions on the definition of literary translation, examining its sociological dimensions and individual translator perspective. Chapters explore the affordances of technological advancements and availability of new tools in such areas as post-edited machine translation (PEMT) in expanding the boundaries of what we think of when we think of literary translation, looking to examples from developments in co-translation, collaborative translation, crowd-sourced translation and fan translation. As the first book of its kind dedicated to the contribution CALT in its various forms can add to existing and future scholarship, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars in Translation Studies, especially those working in literary translation, machine translation and translation technologies.Table of ContentsIntroduction ANDREW ROTHWELL, ANDY WAY AND ROY YOUDALEPart 1: The Automated and Post-Edited Machine Translation of Literature1 Literary-Adapted Machine Translation in a Well-Resourced Language Pair: Explorations with More Data and Wider ContextsANTONIO TORAL, ANDREAS VAN CRANENBURGH, AND TIA NUTTERS2 ‘I Am a Bit Surprised’: Literary Translation and Post-Editing Processes CompareWALTRAUD KOLB3 Mark My Keywords: A Translator-Specific Exploration of Style in Literary Machine TranslationMARION WINTERS AND DOROTHY KENNYPart 2: Machine Translation Applications in Literary Translation4 MT and CAT: Challenges, Irrelevancies or Opportunities for Literary Translation?JAMES LUKE HADLEY5 Retranslating Proust Using CAT, MT and Other ToolsANDREW ROTHWELL6 Author-Tailored Neural Machine Translation Systems for Literary WorksANTONI OLIVER7 Machine Translation of Chinese Fantasy (Xianxia) Novels: An Investigation Into the Leading Websites Translating Chinese Internet Literature Into EnglishSHUYIN ZHANG8 Up and About, or Betwixt and Between?: The Poetry of a Translation MachineTIM VAN DE CRUYS9 Metaphor in Literary Machine Translation: Style, Creativity and LiterarinessALETTA G.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Accessible Filmmaking
Book SynopsisTranslation, accessibility and the viewing experience of foreign, deaf and blind audiences has long been a neglected area of research within film studies. The same applies to the film industry, where current distribution strategies and exhibition platforms severely underestimate the audience that exists for foreign and accessible cinema. Translated and accessible versions are usually produced with limited time, for little remuneration, and traditionally involving zero contact with the creative team. Against this background, this book presents accessible filmmaking as an alternative approach, integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process through collaboration between translators and filmmakers. The book introduces a wide notion of media accessibility and the concepts of the global version, the dubbing effect and subtitling blindness. It presents scientific evidence showing how translation and accessibility can impact the nature and reception of a film bTrade Review"Making films accessible across the world, and to those who have difficulty seeing or hearing, is something we should take seriously. Accessible filmmaking is clearly a very important subject that will give us a lot to think about. This book will make a valuable contribution to this and I wish it well." - Ken Loach, Film Director"Up to date, methodical, insightful, innovative and masterly interdisciplinary, this book extends the frontiers of our discipline and is destined to become a seminal contribution to both Film Studies and Translation Studies. Pablo’s arresting way of communicating ideas confirms his reputation as one of the finest scholars in translation today. A must-read, must-have book!"- Jorge Díaz Cintas, University College London, UK"This wonderfully wide-ranging and thoroughly researched book demonstrates in fascinating detail the extent to which the use (and too frequent abuse) of subtitles, voice overs and different national dubbing practices continue to significantly mediate our experience of watching films on television and in the cinema. Accessible Filmmaking should be read by every kind of practising filmmaker and critic, as well as by media studies lecturers, students, international film distributors and all TV executives."- Mike Dibb, Bafta- and Emmy-winning director of Ways of Seeing (1972) and The Miles Davis Story (2001)"In a ground-breaking book, Pablo Romero-Fresco considers why accessibility has been overlooked in film production. He also convincingly proposes strategies for its integration both in the film-making process and in the discipline of Film Studies. Written in a clear style and covering a wide range of interrelated issues concerning production and reception, this timely, clear and thought-provoking book will be essential reading for practitioners, teachers and students interested in the accessibility of films."- Peter William Evans, Queen Mary University of London, UK"Accessible Filmmaking: Integrating translation and accessibility into the filmmaking process has arrived just in time.

This next-generation volume brings together principles, case studies, precepts, histories and process knowledge from practitioners in sixteen different countries. Divided into four parts, the book covers many of literary translation's most pressing concerns today, from teaching, to theorising, to translation techniques, to new tools and resources. Featuring genre studies, in which graphic novels, crime fiction, and ethnopoetry have pride of place alongside classics and sacred texts, The Routledge Handbook of Literary Translation represents a vital resource for students and researchers of both translation studies and comparative literature.Trade Review"The introduction of this wide-ranging and polyvocal book announces that "Literary translation's appeal is existential, not merely intellectual, aesthetic, political or recreational." The book itself is all these things, and more: it offers a broad and inclusive approach to the translation of expressive language, whether in high-art forms or in popular media, in performance, in professional or popular settings, with an emphasis on the translator’s voice, and the collaborative synergies that authors, translators and publishers develop in the processes that lead to the finished product. It presents a panorama of literary translation that leads readers into most unexpected directions." Luise von Flotow, University of Ottawa, Canada"This Handbook is the most up-to-date resource for students, practitioners and instructors of literary translation. It is wide-ranging and inclusive as it deals with high and popular cultures, as well as marginalized and under-represented literary genres.

St Jerome Publishing Lexis and Creativity in Translation: A Corpus Based Approach
Book SynopsisComputers offer new perspectives in the study of language, allowing us to see phenomena that previously remained obscure because of the limitations of our vantage points. It is not uncommon for computers to be likened to the telescope, or microscope, in this respect. In this pioneering computer-assisted study of translation, Dorothy Kenny suggests another image, that of the kaleidoscope: playful changes of perspective using corpus-processing software allow textual patterns to come into focus and then recede again as others take their place. And against the background of repeated patterns in a corpus, creative uses of language gain a particular prominence.In Lexis and Creativity in Translation, Kenny monitors the translation of creative source-text word forms and collocations uncovered in a specially constructed German-English parallel corpus of literary texts. Using an abundance of examples, she reveals evidence of both normalization and ingenious creativity in translation. Her discussion of lexical creativity draws on insights from traditional morphology, structural semantics and, most notably, neo-Firthian corpus linguistics, suggesting that rumours of the demise of linguistics in translation studies are greatly exaggerated.Lexis and Creativity in Translation is essential reading for anyone interested in corpus linguistics and its impact so far on translation studies. The book also offers theoretical and practical guidance for researchers who wish to conduct their own corpus-based investigations of translation. No previous knowledge of German, corpus linguistics or computing is assumed.Table of ContentsLexis and Creativity in Translation: ContentsAcknowledgements Introduction1.

This book examines the work of three Latin translators of the Renaissance and attempts to provide a broad perspective on the development of Latin writing about translation by drawing together the ideas of these three very different translators.Trade Review'This book, though extremely detailed, is very well written. It is essential reading for anyone who wishes to understand the way in which Greek studies began in Western Europe, and the part Latin played in this process.
