This volume problematizes the concept and practice of translation
in an interconnected world in which English, despite its hegemonic
status, can no longer be considered a coherent unified entity but
rather a mobile resource subject to various kinds of hybridization.
Drawing upon recent work in the domains of translation studies,
literary studies and (socio-)linguistics, it explores the
centrality of translation as both a trope for the analysis of
contemporary transcultural dynamics and as a concrete communication
practice in the globalized world. The chapters range across many
geographic realities and genres (including fiction, memoir,
animated film and hip-hop), and deal with subjects as varied as
self-translation, translational ethics and language change. As a
whole, the book makes an important contribution to our
understanding of how meanings are generated and relayed in a
context of super-diversity, in which traditional understandings of
language and translation can no longer be sustained.
