Abstract:

Offering an in-depth, interdisciplinary analysis of Arabic and English
language narratives of the Islamic State terrorist group, this book
investigates how these narratives changed across national and media
boundaries. Utilizing insights and methodologies from translation studies,
communication studies and sociology, "Islamic State in Translation" explores
how multimodal narratives of IS and survivors were fragmented, circulated and
translated in the context of the terrorist action carried out by Islamic State
against the people and culture of Iraq, as well as against other victims
around the world.
Closely examining four atrocities, the Speicher massacre, the enslavement of
Ezidi women, execution videos and videos of the destruction of Iraqi cultural
heritage, Balsam Mustafa explores how the Arabic and English-language
narratives of these events were translated, developed, and fragmented. In
doing so, she advances a socio-narrative theory and reconsiders translation in
the new media environment, within a broader socio-political field of inquiry.
