Cambridge University Press Risk Management in Translation
Book SynopsisOnce fidelity and equivalence are abandoned, how can successful translation be understood? Risk management offers an alternative way of looking at the work of translators and their social function. It posits that the greater the cultural differences, the greater the risks of failed communication. What can be done to manage those risks? Drawing on the ways translators and interpreters handle intercultural encounters by adjusting what is said, this essay outlines a series of strategies that can be applied to all kinds of cross-cultural communication. Practical examples are drawn from a wide range of contexts, from Australian bushfires to court interpreting in Barcelona, with special regard for the new kinds of risks presented by machine translation and generative AI. The result is a critical view of the professionalization of translation, and a fresh account of democratized translation as a rich human activity in the service of cross-cultural cooperation.

Taylor & Francis Ltd A Translational Sociology
Book SynopsisA Translational Sociology provides an interdisciplinary investigation of the key role of translation in society. There is a growing recognition of translation's intervention in the intellectual history of sociology, in the international reception of social theory, and in approaches to the global literary and academic fields. This book brings attention to aspects of translation that have remained more elusive to sociological interpretation and analysis, investigating translation's ubiquitous presence in the everyday lives of ordinary people in increasingly multilingual societies and its key intervention in mediating politics within and beyond the nation.In order to challenge a reductive view of translation as a relatively straightforward process of word substitution that is still prevalent in the social sciences, this book proposes and develops a broader definition of translation as a social relation across linguistic difference, a process of transformation that leaveTrade Review'Sociologists!

Book SynopsisThis concise and accessible textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the key historical aspects of translation. Six chapters cover essential concepts in researching and writing the history of translation and translation as history.Theo Hermans presents and explains fundamental issues and questions in a clear and lively style. He includes numerous examples and case studies and offers suggestions for further reading. Four of the six chapters take their cue from ideas about historiography that are alive among professional historians. They pay attention to the role of narrative, to the emergence of transnational, transcultural, global and entangled history, and to particular fields such as the history of concepts and memory studies. Other topics include microhistory, actornetwork theory and book history.With an emphasis on methodology, how to do research in translation history and how to write it up, this is an essential text for all courses on translation history and wTrade Review"Theo Hermans has written the book we need in the wake of the historiographic boom in Translation Studies and the translational turn in the humanities. Drawing deeply on teaching and research experience, this textbook avoids all pedagogical pedantism and simplified manual-like instructions for research. Instead, it provides inspiration for future researchers to ask decisive questions about the field: how is translation history even possible, what translations can teach us about history, and what historiography has to offer translation research."

Taylor & Francis Ltd Translating for Museums Galleries and Heritage
Book SynopsisIn any museum, gallery, or heritage site that wishes to engage with foreign-language visitors, translation is essential. Providing texts in foreign languages whether for international visitors from different language cultures or for heritage speakers of local minority languages is centrally important in enabling these visitors to make sense of what they see displayed.

This book aims to help fill that need.Translating for Museums, Galleries and Heritage Sites focuses on the translation of interpretive and information texts, particularly in the museum context.

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc Jane Eyre in German Lands
Book SynopsisLynne Tatlock examines the transmission, diffusion, and literary survival of Jane Eyre in the German-speaking territories and the significance and effects thereof, 1848-1918. Engaging with scholarship on the romance novel, she presents an historical case study of the generative power and protean nature of Brontë's new romance narrative in German translation, adaptation, and imitation as it involved multiple agents, from writers and playwrights to readers, publishers, illustrators, reviewers, editors, adaptors, and translators. Jane Eyre in German Lands traces the ramifications in the paths of transfer that testify to widespread creative investment in romance as new ideas of women's freedom and equality topped the horizon and sought a home, especially in the middle classes. As Tatlock outlines, the multiple German instantiations of Brontë's novelfour translations, three abridgments, three adaptations for general readers, nine adaptations for younger readers, plays, farces,Trade ReviewLynne Tatlock’s new book is a monumental achievement. Her analysis of the German reception of Jane Eyre breaks new ground in the study of the novel and the history of world literature. She follows Charlotte Brontë’s work from England to the Continent and shows how it was translated and adapted countless times for new audiences. Making judicious use of digital tools and archival research, combining literary sociology with astute textual analysis, Tatlock shows how literature moved and why it mattered to generations of predominantly female readers. * Todd Kontje, Distinguished Professor of German and Comparative Literature, University of California, San Diego, USA *Lynne Tatlock‘s Jane Eyre in German Lands is a highly innovative study of the German-language dissemination of Charlotte Brontë’s novel in the second half of the long 19th century. Combining research on Jane Eyre’s translation and distribution on the German book market with data about its reception and adaptation, the book culminates in a powerful reading of E. Marlitt’s novels as Jane Eyre surrogates, highlighting not only the enormous influence of Jane Eyre among German writers, but also the emancipatory potential the romance plot held for female readers. Tatlock’s masterful study exemplifies literary and cultural studies in the 21st century at their very best. * Daniela Richter, Professor of German, Central Michigan Univerity, USA *Lynne Tatlock’s innovative book on the reception and adaptation of Jane Eyre in the German context provocatively argues that the dissemination of “Jane Eyrish” elements through popular romantic plots built around a spirited, bookish female protagonist allowed German women readers to imagine new vocational possibilities and modes of intimacy. Tatlock’s work is a model for feminist scholars, for scholars of translation, object culture, and the history of the book, and for digital humanities scholars who acknowledge the benefits of distant reading but who firmly believe that close reading is indispensable. * Jill Suzanne Smith, Associate Professor of German, Bowdoin College, USA *Table of ContentsPreface 1.

Bloomsbury Publishing Plc The Art of Translation in Light of Bakhtins
Book SynopsisAlthough Mikhail Bakhtin's study of the novel does not focus in any systematic way on the role that translation plays in the processes of novelistic creation and dissemination, when he does broach the topic he grants translation''a disproportionately significant role in the emergence and constitution of literature. The contributors to this volume, from the US, Hong Kong, Finland, Japan, Spain, Italy, Bangladesh, and Belgium, bring their own polyphonic experiences with the theory and practice of translation to the discussion of Bakhtin's ideas about this topic, in order to illuminate their relevance to translation studies today. Broadly stated, the essays examine the art of translation as an exercise in a cultural re-accentuation (a transferal of the original text and its characters to the novel soil of a different language and culture, which inevitably leads to the proliferation of multivalent meanings), and to explore the various re-accentuation devices employed overTrade ReviewThis collection of essays restores Bakhtin’s fundamental significance to translation studies as an inter-cultural dialogue with philosophy, literary studies, and diverse creative practices. * Suzanne Jill Levine, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA, and author of The Subversive Scribe: Translating Latin American Fiction *The Art of Translation explores how Mikhail Bakhtin’s heteroglossic approach to the study of texts might be relevant to the work of translation. How should we take into account the different understandings of context? Can the dialogic method in literary analysis be applied not only to translating poetry and art narrative but to the prosaic genres as well? The contributors’ responses to these questions are thoughtful and provocative. * Norbert Francis, Professor Emeritus of Bilingual and Multicultural Education, Northern Arizona University, USA *The Art of Translation represents a truly original and well-argued collection of essays. The volume features scholars from the United States, Europe, and Asia, and presents twelve studies on an impressive variety of topics related to Bakhtin, translation, and re-accentuation. Whether dealing with James Joyce, Margaret Mitchell, Eduardo Mendoza, Lewis Carroll, or Antonio Muñoz Molina, the book provides valuable insights about Bakhtin’s continuing importance in the twenty-first century. * Ricardo Castells, Professor Emeritus of Spanish, Florida International University, USA *Table of ContentsIntroduction Slav N.

Baker Publishing Group Eve Isn`t Evil – Feminist Readings of the Bible
Book Synopsis"Tackles scripture from a broad-thinking, feminist perspective. . . . Smart and impressive."--Publishers Weekly One reason the Bible has endured for millennia is its ability to reach our common humanness and give uplifting insights about struggle, resilience, and hope. Intertwining academic knowledge and candid, personal, and sometimes humorous stories, Julie Faith Parker helps readers engage biblical texts with both mind and heart--to learn the Bible's stories, explore theological ideas, question common assumptions, develop interpretive skills, and grow in their own faith. The title chapter demonstrates how feminism interprets the Bible with fresh eyes and offers empowering insights, an approach used in the rest of the book. In each chapter, Parker reads biblical texts through a feminist lens. The book discusses both neglected and well-known Old Testament passages with one chapter on the New Testament. Parker's reflections show how vital our readings of the Bible can be as a source of strength, guidance, and joyful defiance.

Liverpool University Press The Mountain Girl from La Vera: by Luis Vélez de
Book SynopsisThis bilingual edition presents Luis Vélez de Guevara’s 1613 play La Serrana de la Vera (The Mountain Girl from La Vera) for the first time ever in English translation. This long-forgotten tragedy has come back into focus in recent years because of its extraordinary protagonist, Gila, a peasant girl who calls herself a man, takes fierce pride in doing things men do, and falls in love with Queen Isabel. Her betrayal by an army captain who she has humiliated leads to lawlessness, violence and tragedy. Dramatized by the playwright as an heroic rebel, Gila has been variously described as feminist, homosexual, bisexual, lesbian, transsexual, hybrid, queer, and transgender. Highly relevant today, The Mountain Girl from La Vera is also a great piece of theatre, full of dramatic confrontations, colourful vignettes, striking moments of music and spectacle, and plentiful comic relief. This bilingual edition presents the entirety of the play, annotated, along with a Critical Introduction by the translator that contextualizes the work.Table of ContentsAcknowledgementsIntroductionLa Serrana de la Vera/The Mountain Girl from La Vera

Every entry is provided with a bibliographical headnote and footnotes.Intended for classroom use in History of Translation Theory, History of Rhetoric or History of Western Thought courses, this anthology will also prove useful to scholars of translation and those interested in the intellectual history of the West.Trade ReviewDouglas Robinson ... has rendered a great service to all those interested in translation theory, both as a fundamentally linguistic construct and as a Western socio-cultural phenomenon. (K. Lloyd-Jones, International Journal of the Classical Tradition) Every translator should dip into it and sample our professional discipline in its historical persective. (Ronald Sim, Notes on Translation) ... bound to become the major anthology in English ... a splendid achievement.
