Translation, Ideology and Gender
Since the “cultural turn” in the 1990s, increasing attention has been paid to ideological concerns and gender issues in relation to translation studies. This volume is a further illustration of this trend and focuses on the intersection of translation theory and practice with ideological constraints and gender issues in a variety of cross-cultural, geographical and historical contexts. The book is divided into three parts, with the first devoted to the health sciences, examining gender bias in medical textbooks, and the language and sociocultural barriers involved in obtaining health services in Morocco. The second part addresses the interaction of the three themes on the representation of gender and the construction of the female image both in diverse narrative texts and the presence of women in the translation of poetic works in Franco’s Spain. Finally, Part Three explores editorial policies and translator ethics in relation to feminist writing or translation in the context of Europe with special reference to Italy, and in the world of magazines aimed at a female readership.
Towards an Atlas of the History of Interpreting
The aspiration of an Atlas is to cover the whole world, by compiling cartographical material representing territories from across the five continents.

The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Literary Translation

In this introductory volume, through survey and case-study chapters, contributing authors cover literary and cultural translation in the region historically, geographically, and linguistically. From the nineteenth to the twenty-fi...
Traducción y representaciones del conflicto desde España y América
La mediación lingüística entre España y América en compleja y multifacética. Su análisis contribuye a explicar otros fenómenos de transformación sociocultural distintos de la lengua, y que requiere ser explorado desde la interdisciplinaridad. Los lectores encontraran reflexiones organizadas en torno a cuatro secciones bien diferenciadas. Las dos primeras abordan las relaciones entre la traducción y el conflicto vistas desde el prisma de la historia, y consideran las fronteras geopolíticas como los espacios genuinos donde entraron en liza identidades y alteridades en permanente evolución, el tablero de juego donde se desarrolló el juego colonial iniciado desde la Península Ibér...
