Abstract:

"Intercultural Crisis Communication" poses pertinent questions and provides
powerful responses to crises that have characterised the modern world since
2010. Language mediation in situations of disaster, emergency and conflict is
an under-developed area of scholarship in Translation Studies. This book
responds to a clear need for research drawn from practical experiences in the
field and explores the crucial role of translation, interpretation and
mediation in contexts of crises.

Particular consideration is given to situations where rare or minority
languages represent a substantial obstacle to humanitarian operations.
Contemporary case studies from the USA, Africa, Europe, and Armenia provide
major examples of crisis communication that call for more efficient language
mediation. Such examples include Syrian displacement, the refugee crisis in
Croatia and Italy, international terrorism and national public administration,
interpreting in conflict and for "Médecins sans Frontières", as well as the
integration of refugee doctors for employment in the UK.

With contributions from experts in the field, this volume is of international
relevance and provides a multifaceted overview of intercultural communication
issues and remedies during crises.
