Historically, the Atlantic Ocean has served to define the
relationship between the so-called worlds of the 'Old' and the
'New'. A geographical divide between continents, it is also no less
a historical space across which peoples have travelled, sharing
ideas and cultural practices, a site of encounter and exchange that
has shaped the lives of communities and nations across the globe.
This book maps this productive web of multi-layered connections,
not just in terms of military, migratory, economic and commercial
actions and processes, but also of shifting lines of translation
that have mobilised ideas, fomented the exchange of experiences and
opened up channels of communication. The Atlantic is considered
here a global translation zone that has been created through a
myriad of crossings, physical and conceptual, and historically
shaped through the reciprocal influences between the different
communities situated around and beyond its shores. In the final
analysis, the book explores the Atlantic as a zone of created
relation, characterised by the interaction between processes of
translation, mobility and, in the best of cases, of hospitality;
and most importantly, as a space no longer defined by economic and
military power but by the multiplicity of identities forged in its
ambit. This book will be of interest to scholars and advanced
students of translation studies, literature, history, human
geography, politics, sociology, and cultural studies. It was
originally published as a special issue of the journal, Atlantic
Studies.
