Abstract:

In an age of AI and automated translation, the affective remains a decisively
human condition. "Translation and Affect" is a collection of essays that
investigate the role of affects and emotions across the spectrum of
translatorial activities and areas, from public service interpreting to
multilingual poetry recitals, from translator training to translation
technology. In an effort at creating a consilient approach that bridges
different research traditions in Translation Studies, Koskinen uses affective
labour and affects and their stickiness as a lens to understand how it feels
to translate and how translations feel. Written in a personal and engaging
style, the book encourages readers interested in translation issues to look at
translation as an affective practice and to explore and reflect their own ways
of living with translation.
