This volume showcases different forms of natural and
non-professional translation and interpreting at work at
multilingual sites in a single city, shedding new light on our
understanding of the intersection of city, migration and
translation. Flynn builds on work in translation studies,
sociolinguistics, linguistic ethnography and anthropology to offer
a translational perspective on scholarship on multilingualism and
translation, focusing on examples from the superdiverse city of
Ghent in Belgium. Each chapter comprises a different multilingual
site, ranging from schools to eateries to public transport, and
unpacks specific dimensions of translation practices within and
against constantly shifting multilingual settings. The book also
reflects on socio-political factors and methodological
considerations of concern when undertaking such an approach. Taken
together, the chapters seek to provide a composite picture of
translation in a multilingual city, demonstrating how tracing
physical, linguistic and social trajectories of movement in these
contexts can deepen our understanding of the contemporary dynamics
of multilingualism and natural translation and of translanguaging,
more broadly. This book will be of interest to students and
scholars in translation and interpreting studies, sociolinguistics,
multilingualism, linguistic anthropology and migration studies.
