Abstract:

The relevance of translation has never been greater. The challenges of the
21st century are truly glocal and societies are required to manage diversities
like never before. Cultural and linguistic diversities cut across ideological
systems, those carefully crafted to uphold prevailing hierarchies of power,
making asymmetries inescapable. Translation and interpreting studies have left
behind neutrality and have put forward challenging new approaches that provide
a starting point for researching translation as a cultural and historical
product in a global and asymmetrical world. This book addresses issues arising
from the power vested in and arrogated by translation and interpreting either
as instruments of change, or as tools to sustain dominant structures. It
presents new perspectives and cutting-edge research findings on how
asymmetries are fashioned, woven, upheld, experienced, confronted, resisted,
and rewritten through and in translation. This volume is useful for scholars
looking for tools to raise awareness as to the challenges posed by the
pervasiveness of power relations in mediated communication. It will further
help practitioners understand how asymmetries shape their experiences when
translating and interpreting.
