Abstract:

This book focuses on the role of translation in a globalising world. It
presents a series of case studies that explore the ways in which translation
is subject to ideology and power play across diverging domains and genres.
Broadly based on a discussion of 'translation and the economies of power', the
chapters examine an array of contextual and textual factors, ranging from
global, regional and institutional power relations to the linguistic,
stylistic and rhetorical implications of translation decisions. The book maps
the multiple ways in which power relations and ideological positions affect
cross-cultural communication, with special reference to repressive practices
in history, translation policies, media power and commercial hegemonies. It
concludes that future translation research will benefit from a more sustained
emphasis on the power of technology and economic capital.
