Abstract:

This book introduces dialogist interpretation as an innovative
approach within interpreting studies, offering a critical examination
of interpreter-mediated asylum encounters. Based on a case study of a
legal consultation in the Netherlands, the book reveals how internal
dialogues, linguistic assumptions, institutional constraints and
systemic biases influence credibility assessments and shape asylum
narratives. Drawing on the author’s experience as a researcher,
interpreter and former asylum seeker, this study examines the power
dynamics between interpreters, legal professionals, asylum seekers and
the institutional structures governing legal procedures. Through
detailed textual analysis and reflective interviews, it demonstrates
the active role interpreters play and offers a new paradigm for
understanding and improving asylum procedures. Challenging dominant
narratives and calling for systemic reform, this book offers practical
recommendations for interpreters, educators, legal professionals and
policymakers as well as essential insights for scholars in
interpreting studies, law and communication.
