Abstract:
What is cultural translation? In this book, Sarah Maitland uncovers processes
of negotiation and adaptation closely associated with the translation of
languages behind the cultural phenomena of everyday life. For globalized
societies confronted increasingly with the presence of difference in all its
forms, translation has become both a metaphor for thoughtful encounter and a
touchstone act for what we see, do and say, and who we are.
Drawing on examples from across cultural domains (theatre, film, TV and
literature) this work illuminates the elusive concept of 'cultural
translation'. Focusing on the built environment, current affairs,
international relations and online media, this book arrives at a view of
translation in its broadest sense. It is a means for decoding how we shape the
cultural realm and serves as a vehicle for new ways of seeing and being that
question the received ideas that structure the communities in which we live.
Written in a clear and engaging style, this is the first book-length study of
cultural translation. It builds a powerful case for expanding the remit of
translation to cover the experience of living and working in a globalised,
multicultural world, and is of interest to all involved in the academic study
of representation and contestation in contemporary cultural practice.
