Abstract:

This book reconsiders the intellectual, social and professional identity of
translators and interpreters when their role involves an intercultural
negotiation with institutional powers, be them medieval rulers, modern States,
an army of invasion or a dominant culture. Surprisingly little is known of how
historical mediations took place, how the mediators worked, and the ways in
which transcultural mediations become implicit or explicit forms of power. The
chapters seek to address how translators and interpreters can emerge in a
position of power by presenting visions, methods, and case studies dealing
with a wide thematic range of issues, such as historical concerns, cultural
identity, and the role of translation in mediation and cultural transfer. With
far-reaching analysis of history, politics, religion and literature, this book
will appeal to researchers and students of translation, the history of
communication, and institutional power.
