Modelling the Field of Community Interpreting
The field of community interpreting is characterised by continually changing political, social, institutional and cultural contexts. Over the last few years new approaches to the training of community interpreters have been conceptualised to meet the requirements of these developments and to replace lay interpreters by trained interpreters. The contributions of this volume present both innovative models of didactics and curricula for community interpreters and empirically and methodologically challenging analyses of various fields of community interpreting.
Dolmetschen als Dienst am Menschen
Ausgehend vom facettenreichen Schaffen von Mira Kadrić präsentiert dieser Band Beiträge, die von einer Konzeption des Dolmetschens als Dienst am Menschen ausgehen und verschiedene ethisch-humanistische, politisch-rechtliche und kritisch-emanzipatorische Dimensionen des Dolmetschens in den Blick nehmen. In einem ersten Themenkreis wird aus dolmetschwissenschaftlicher Sicht der Dialog mit verschiedenen Bedarfsträger:innen in den Mittelpunkt gestellt. Danach werden der Dialog von Dolmetscher:innen mit der Gesellschaft und daraus resultierende rechtliche Fragestellungen untersucht. Und schließlich werden Fragen der Didaktik unter dem Aspekt des Dialogs der Dolmetschwissenschaft mit Lernenden und Lehrenden diskutiert. Mit diesen multiperspektivischen Beiträgen wird, ganz im Sinne von Mira Kadrić, Dolmetschen als gesellschaftspolitische Handlung verortet und weiterentwickelt.
Stranded Encyclopedias, 1700–2000
In Stranded Encyclopedias, 1700–2000: Exploring Unfinished, Unpublished, Unsuccessful Encyclopedic Projects, fourteen scholars turn to the archives to challenge the way the history of modern encyclopedism has long been told. Rather than emphasizing successful publications and famous compilers, they explore encyclopedic enterprises that somehow failed. With a combined attention to script, print, and digital cultures, the volume highlights the many challenges facing those who have pursued complete knowledge in the past three hundred years. By introducing the concepts of stranded and strandedness, it also provides an analytical framework for approaching aspects often overlooked in histories o...
Usability research for interpreter-centred technology: The case study of SmarTerp
Technological advancement is reshaping the ways in which language interpreters operate. This poses existential challenges to the profession but also offers new opportunities. This books moves from the design of the computer-assisted interpreting tool SmarTerp as a case study of impact-driven interpreting technology research. It demonstrates how usability testing was used to achieve an interpreter-centred design. By contextualising the case study within the past and current developments of translation and interpreting technology research, this book seeks to inform and inspire a redefinition of the conceptualisation of interpreting technology research—not just as a tool to understand change but to drive it into a sustainable and human direction.
The Routledge Handbook of Intercultural Mediation
Offering unique coverage of an emerging, interdisciplinary area, this comprehensive handbook examines the theoretical underpinnings and emergent conceptions of intercultural mediation in related fields of study. Authored by global experts in fields from intercultural communication and conflict resolution to translation studies, literature, political science, and foreign language teaching, chapters trace the history, development, and present state of approaches to intercultural mediation. The sections in this volume show how the concept of intercultural mediation has been constructed among different fields and shaped by its specific applications in an open cycle of influence. The book parses different philosophical conceptions as well as pragmatic approaches, providing ample grounding in the key perspectives on this growing field of discourse. The Routledge Handbook of Intercultural Mediation is a valuable reference for graduate and postgraduate students studying mediation, conflict resolution, intercultural communication, translation, and psychology, as well as for practitioners and researchers in those fields and beyond.
Translationskultur – ein innovatives und produktives Konzept
Der von Erich Prunč (Graz) in die Translationswissenschaft eingeführte Begriff der Translationskultur hat sich für eine Reihe von Fragestellungen als außerordentlich produktiv erwiesen. Autoren mit verschiedenen Spezialinteressen innerhalb der Translationswissenschaft haben an ihren spezifischen Gegenständen translationskulturelle Fragestellungen erprobt bzw. demonstriert. Das Ergebnis bestätigt die Produktivität des Konzepts und zeigt gleichzeitig, dass von der Translationskultur ausgehend anthropologische, semiotische, soziologische bzw. soziokulturelle, qualitative wie auch translationstheoretische und translationspraktische Problemstellungen einen weitergehenden thematischen Ausbau erfahren können.
Constructing a Sociology of Translation
The view of translation as a socially regulated activity has opened up a broad field of research in the last few years. This volume deals with central questions of the new domain and aims to contribute to the conceptualisation of a general sociology of translation. Interdisciplinary in approach, it discusses the role of major representatives of sociology like Pierre Bourdieu, Bruno Latour, Bernard Lahire, Anthony Giddens or Niklas Luhmann in establishing a theoretical framework for a sociology of translation. Drawing on methodologies from sociology and integrating them into translation studies, the book questions some of the established categories in this discipline and calls for a redefinition of long-assumed principles. The contributions show the social involvement of translation in various fields and focus especially on the translator s position in an emerging sociology of translation, Bourdieu s influence in conceptualising this new sub-discipline, methodological questions and a sociologically oriented meta-discussion of translation studies.
The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Ethics
The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Ethics offers a comprehensive overview of issues surrounding ethics in translating and interpreting. The chapters chart the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings of ethical thinking in Translation Studies and analyze the ethical dilemmas of various translatorial actors, including translation trainers and researchers. Authored by leading scholars and new voices in the field, the 31 chapters present a wide coverage of emerging issues such as increasing technologization of translation, posthumanism, volunteering and activism, accessibility and linguistic human rights. Many chapters provide the first extensive overview of the topic or present new t...
Çeviri Kuramları ve Çeviri Eğitimi
Çeviri alanında kuram-eğitim-pratik ilişkisini bir arada, kuramsal bir çerçevede inceleyen bir çalışmanın yapılması oldukça önemlidir. Bu anlamda bu çalışmanın çeviribilim açısından önemli bir sorunu tartıştığını söyleyebiliriz. Kuram-pratik ilişkisinin işlendiği çalışmalara sıkça rastlanmakla birlikte, çeviri kuramının çeviri eğitimine yansıması ve bunun sonucunda pratiğe etkisine dair çalışmalara rastlamak zordur. Böyle bir çalışmanın kuramsal dayanaklarının oluşması ve bu kuramsal dayanakların çeviri alanını yansıtması gerekliydi. Kuram-eğitim-uygulama üçlüsünün çeviri alanını oluşturduğuna dair bir iddianın kuram...
