Perhaps more than in any other period in modern history, our
globalized present is characterized by a constant interaction of,
and exposure to, different peoples, regions, ways of life,
traditions, languages, and cultures. Cross-boundary communication
today comes in various shapes: as mutual exchange, open dialogue,
enforced process, misunderstanding, or even violent conflict. In
this situation, 'translation' has become an inevitable requirement
in order to ease the flow of disinterested and unbiased cultural
communication. The contributors to this collection approach the
subject of the 'translation of cultures' from various angles.
Translation refers, of course, to the rendering of texts from one
language into another and the shift between languages under
precolonial (retelling/transcreation), colonial (domestication),
and postcolonial (multilingual trafficking) conditions. It is also
concerned with the (in-)adequacy of the Western translation concept
of equivalence, the problem of the (un)translatability of cultures,
and new postcolonial approaches (representation through
translation). Translation here is used as a broader term covering
the interaction of cultures, the transfer of cultural experience,
the concern with cultural borders, the articulation of liminal
experience, and intercultural understanding.
