Abstract:

The aspiration of an Atlas is to cover the whole world, by compiling
cartographical material representing territories from across the five
continents. This book intends to contribute to that ideally comprehensive, yet
always unfinished, Atlas with pieces gathered from all of the Earth’s regions.
However, its focus is not so much of a geographical nature (although maps and
geographical reflections are not absent in its pages), but of a
historical-analytical one. As such, the Atlas engages in the historical
analysis of interpreters (of both language and cultures) in multiple
interpreting settings and places, including in zones which are less frequently
studied in specialized literature, in different historical periods and at
various scales. All the interpreters described in the book share the ability
to speak two or more languages and to use them as vehicles; otherwise, their
individual socio-professional statuses vary so much that there is no
similarity between a Venetian dragoman in Istanbul and a prisoner of war, or
between a locally-recruited interpreter and a missionary. Each contributor has
approached the specific spatial and temporal dimensions of their subject as
perceived through their different methodological lenses. This multifaceted
perspective, which is expected to provide fertile soil for future
interdisciplinary research, has been possible thanks to a balanced combination
of scholars from History and from Translation and Interpreting Studies.
