Translation and the Global City showcases fresh perspectives on
translation in a global context, drawing on case studies from
Montreal and other multilingual cosmopolitan cities to examine the
historical, sociological and cultural factors underpinning the
travel of languages, ideas and cultures across borders. Building on
the "spatial turn" in translation studies, the book adopts a bridge
metaphor to explore the complexities of translational spaces and
the ways in which translation acts can both unite and divide in the
global city. The collection initiates the discussion with a focus
on the Canadian context and specifically the city of Montreal,
where historical circumstances, public policy and shifting language
politics have led to a burgeoning translation industry. It goes on
to address issues of translation in other regions and cities of the
world, generating new insights and opening avenues for further
research into the relations between languages and cultures. This
volume will be of particular interest to students and scholars in
translation studies, especially those with an interest in
translation theory and the sociology of translation.
