Mother Tongues and Other Tongues
Edited by Simona Gallo and Martina Codeluppi, Mother Tongues and Other Tongues: Creating and Translating Sinophone Poetry analyzes contemporary translingual Sinophone poetry and discusses its creative processes and translational implications, along with their intersections. How do self-translation and other translingual practices mold the Sinophone poetic field? How and why do contemporary Sinophone writers produce (new) lyrical identities in and through translation? How do we translate contemporary Sinophone poetry? By addressing such questions, and by bringing together scholars, writers, and translators of poetry, this volume offers unique insights into Sinophone Studies, while sparking a transdisciplinary dialogue with Poetry Studies, Translation Studies and Cultural Studies.
The Psychology of Translation
Drawing on work from scholars in both psychology and translation studies, this collection offers new perspectives on what Holmes (1972) called ‘translation psychology’. This interdisciplinary volume brings together contributions addressing translation from the vantage point of different applied branches of psychology, including critical-developmental psychology, occupational psychology, and forensic psychology. Current theoretical and methodological practices in these areas have the potential to strengthen and diversify how translators’ decision-making and problem-solving behaviours are understood, but many sub-branches of psychology have lacked visibility so far in the translation stu...
Traducción y sostenibilidad cultural
La obra se articula en tres grandes pilares conceptuales. El primero se denomina Sustrato, y se ha querido fijar en las disciplinas que configuran la base de la actividad traductora: lengua meta (en nuestro caso, el español), lenguas extranjeras, terminología, documentación, tecnologías aplicadas, etc. El segundo, Fundamentos, que permite reflexionar sobre los distintos modelos epistemológicos que subyacen a la actividad traductora: se ha querido, pues, abrir la puerta a las diferentes escuelas, perspectivas y puntos de vista que tienen la traducción y la interpretación como objeto de estudio: su compleja y diversa naturaleza, sus objetivos e incluso su función en la sociedad. El tercero identifica las Aplicaciones, vinculado a los distintos espacios de ejercicio profesional vinculados a la traducción y la interpretación.
Solving the Brain Puzzle
Receiving a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS), Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or some other brain-related illness is devastating. It feels like life, as you know it, is over, and you are powerless to do anything about it. Your future may seem like nothing but a long black tunnel of decreasing cognitive function, declining mobility, depression, and premature death. Even your physician may share this gloomy view. The good news is, you have more control over your brain health than you think! With the exception of cancer, many brain illnesses can be reversed through a combination of diet, exercise, supplements, proper sleep, avoiding and removing toxins from the body, and takin...
Translation and Multimodality
Translation and Multimodality: Beyond Words is one of the first books to explore how translation needs to be redefined and reconfigured in contexts where multiple modes of communication, such as writing, images, gesture, and music, occur simultaneously. Bringing together world-leading experts in translation theory and multimodality, each chapter explores important interconnections among these related, yet distinct, disciplines. As communication becomes ever more multimodal, the need to consider translation in multimodal contexts is increasingly vital. The various forms of meaning-making that have become prominent in the twenty-first century are already destabilising certain time-honoured translation-theoretic paradigms, causing old definitions and assumptions to appear inadequate. This ground-breaking volume explores these important issues in relation to multimodal translation with examples from literature, dance, music, TV, film, and the visual arts. Encouraging a greater convergence between these two significant disciplines, this text is essential for advanced students and researchers in Translation Studies, Linguistics, and Communication Studies.
Bibliodiversität im Kontext des französischen Ehrengastauftritts Francfort en français auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse 2017
Der französische Ehrengastauftritt auf der Frankfurter Buchmesse 2017 rückte statt der Literatur Frankreichs die französische Sprache in den Fokus, und erklärte, "ein internationales Schaufenster der Literatur in französischer Sprache in ihrer größten Vielfalt" sein zu wollen. Die Studie setzt sich mit dem Konzept der Bibliodiversität - kultureller Vielfalt bezogen auf das Buchwesen - und seiner Bedeutung im Kontext von Francfort en francais auseinander. Sie klärt, wie Bibliodiversität bei der Umsetzung des Auftritts berücksichtigt wurde, und untersucht dessen Folgen für die Akteur:innen in den beteiligten frankophonen und deutschsprachigen literarischen Feldern, sowie für die Diversität von Übersetzungen aus dem Französischen auf dem deutschsprachigen Buchmarkt. Die Studie stellt eine der wenigen bisher existierenden, umfassenden und empirischen Untersuchungen zur Bibliodiversität dar.
Hybrid Englishes and the Challenges of and for Translation
This volume problematizes the concept and practice of translation in an interconnected world in which English, despite its hegemonic status, can no longer be considered a coherent unified entity but rather a mobile resource subject to various kinds of hybridization. Drawing upon recent work in the domains of translation studies, literary studies and (socio-)linguistics, it explores the centrality of translation as both a trope for the analysis of contemporary transcultural dynamics and as a concrete communication practice in the globalized world. The chapters range across many geographic realities and genres (including fiction, memoir, animated film and hip-hop), and deal with subjects as varied as self-translation, translational ethics and language change. As a whole, the book makes an important contribution to our understanding of how meanings are generated and relayed in a context of super-diversity, in which traditional understandings of language and translation can no longer be sustained.
La Traducción y sus meandros
Este volumen reúne una serie de artículos en torno a la traducción y la interpretación en el par de lenguas alemán-español.

Traducción y paratraducción
The book addresses the relationship between translation, paratranslation and society, discussing how the observation of (little) perceptible details in texts and paratexts is relevant to their understanding and translation. Experts analyze how ideological manipulation, both subtle and explicit, affects the process of (para)translation—in feminist, religious, or political texts, as well as in comics or video games.
Interpreting Art in Museums and Galleries
In this pioneering book, Christopher Whitehead provides an overview and critique of art interpretation practices in museums and galleries. Covering the philosophy and sociology of art, traditions in art history and art display, the psychology of the aesthetic experience and ideas about learning and communication, Whitehead advances major theoretical frameworks for understanding interpretation from curators’ and visitors’ perspectives. Although not a manual, the book is deeply practical. It presents extensively researched European and North American case studies involving interviews with professionals engaged in significant cutting-edge interpretation projects. Finally, it sets out the et...
