Abstract:

Please note: This is a new edition of a previously announced text.

Translation studies and humour studies are disciplines that have been 
long established but have seldom been looked at in conjunction.  This volume 
looks at the intersection of the two disciplines as found in the media -- on 
television, in film and in print.  From American cable drama to Japanese 
television this collection shows the range and insight of contemporary cross-
disciplinary approaches to humour and translation.

Featuring a diverse and global range of contributors, this is a unique 
addition to existing literature in translation studies and it will appeal to a wide 
cross-section of scholars and postgraduates.
