Abstract:

Interpreting in Armed Conflict: Lessons from the field offers a
comprehensive analysis of interpreting across diverse conflict
settings, including humanitarian missions, military operations, war
journalism, human rights missions, and international fact-finding
missions. Adopting a cross-contextual perspective, the book examines
key dimensions such as communicative constraints, interpreters’
positionality and agency, trust and distrust, intercultural
communication, training, ethical challenges, and the emotional and
psychological impact of working in these settings. The volume brings
together empirical research, practitioner experience, and insights
from a wide range of sources, including testimonies, memoirs,
institutional guidelines, and fictional representations. Combining
academic rigour with narrative depth, it offers a holistic account of
interpreting in armed conflict and serves as a key reference for
scholars, practitioners, and organisations engaged in multilingual
communication in conflict settings.

Written In: English (eng, stan1293)
