Reihe: Translation, Interpreting and Transfer

Translation practices from the perspectives of
identity performance, cultural mediation, historical reframing, and
professional training

Translating and interpreting are unpredictable social
practices framed by historical, ethical, and political constraints. Using the
concepts of situatedness and performativity as anchors, the authors examine
translation practices from the perspectives of identity performance, cultural
mediation, historical reframing, and professional training. As such, the
chapters focus on enacted events and conditioned practices by exploring production
processes and the social, historical, and cultural conditions of the field.
These outlooks shift our attention to social and institutionalized acts of
translating and interpreting, considering also the materiality of bodies,
artefacts, and technologies involved in these scenes.
