This highly accessible introduction to translation theory, written
by a leading author in the field, uses the genre of film to bring
the main themes in translation to life. Through analyzing films as
diverse as the Marx Brothers' A Night at the Opera, The Star Wars
Trilogies and Lost in Translation, the reader is encouraged to
think about both issues and problems of translation as they are
played out on the screen and issues of filmic representation
through examining the translation dimension of specific films. In
highlighting how translation has featured in both mainstream
commercial and arthouse films over the years, Cronin shows how
translation has been a concern of filmmakers dealing with questions
of culture, identity, conflict and representation. This book is a
lively and accessible text for translation theory courses and
offers a new and largely unexplored approach to topics of identity
and representation on screen. Translation Goes to the Movies will
be of interest to those on translation studies and film studies
courses.
