Abstract:

This ground-breaking book assembles 31 portraits of people who interpret
languages, cultures and situations, and offers graphic interpretations of
their collective experience. Their individual stories are part of the larger
history of interpreters, interpretation and interpretive readings, and they
demonstrate how language intersects with race, class, gender and geopolitical
inequalities. The book allows the unexpected to unfold by passing control from
the writers to the reader, who will see connections and ruptures unfold
between space, time and class while never losing sight of the materiality of
living. Together and individually, the portraits tell a powerful story about
the structure of contemporary society and the hierarchical distributions of
power that permeate our lives.
