This handbook offers a broad-ranging overview of the study of
translating and interpreting in conflict and crisis settings and
takes the field in new directions. Covering a wide selection of
multimodal contexts that build on the fundamentals of translation,
interpreting and their in-between hybrid forms of mediation, the
handbook is divided into four sections. The opening section covers
perspectives on policy and practices, whether contemporary or
historical and cases truly span the globe, from Peru and Brazil,
over Belgium and Sierra Leone, to Australia, Japan and Hong Kong.
International developments require profound considerations about
the professionalization of access to language in times of crises,
not least in contexts of humanitarian negotiation or conflict zone
interpreting – these form the second section. The subsequent
section deals with spheres of community in which language needs are
positioned within frames of agency, positionality and trust and the
challenges that these face. The contributions build on cases where
interpreters act as catalysts for translation needs in settings of
humanitarian aid and beyond. The final section considers language
strategies and solutions in crises. This handbook is the essential
guide to Translation and Interpreting in conflict and crisis
settings for advanced students and researchers of Translation and
Interpreting studies and also will be of wide interest in Peace
studies, Political science and beyond.
