The field of sign language interpreting is undergoing an
exponential increase in the delivery of services through remote and
video technologies. The nature of these technologies challenges
established notions of interpreting as a situated, communicative
event and of the interpreter as a participant. As a result, new
perspectives and research are necessary for interpreters to thrive
in this environment. This volume fills that gap and features
interdisciplinary explorations of remote interpreting from spoken
and signed language interpreting scholars who examine various
issues from linguistic, sociological, physiological, and
environmental perspectives. Here or There presents cutting edge,
empirical research that informs the professional practice of remote
interpreting, whether it be video relay service, video conference,
or video remote interpreting. The research is augmented by the
perspectives of stakeholders and deaf consumers on the quality of
the interpreted work. Among the topics covered are professional
attitudes and motivations, interpreting in specific contexts, and
adaptation strategies. The contributors also address potential
implications for relying on remote interpreting, discuss remote
interpreter education, and offer recommendations for service
providers.
