Translating the Crisis discusses the multiple translation practices
that shaped the 15M movement, also known as the indignados
('outraged'), a series of mass demonstrations and occupations of
squares that took place across Spain in 2011 and which played a
central role in the recent global wave of popular protest. Through
a study of the movement's cultural and intellectual impact, as well
as some of its main political evolutions (namely Podemos and
Barcelona en Comu), Fernandez shows how translation has contributed
to the dissemination of ideas and the expansion of political
debates, produced new intellectual and political figures, and
provided support to political projects. Drawing on fieldwork,
interviews, and a large repertoire of sources in various languages,
this monograph provides an in-depth study of the role of
translation in the renewal of activist language, the development of
political platforms, and the creation of new social references,
while also presenting a critical perspective on its limitations and
shortcomings. Combining first-hand experience of the Spanish
reality with a keen transnational awareness, Fernandez offers a
nuanced, present-day perspective on the political events taking
place in Spain and connects them with wider transformations across
the world. This book is invaluable for scholars and researchers in
Translation Studies, Spanish Studies, Social Movement Studies, and
Politics.
