This book examines concepts of the border and translation within
the context of social and cultural theory through the lens of
southern Africa. Borders, Media Crossings and the Politics of
Translation studies a diverse range of media representations of
borders, imagined borders, border struggles, collectivity
boundaries and scenes of translation: films, documentaries,
literary texts, photographs, websites and other media texts and
artistic interventions. The book makes a case for bringing together
media texts and sociocultural experiences across multiple
platforms. It argues that this transdisciplinary approach is
singularly suited to the age of media convergence, when words,
speech, music, videos and images compete for attention on the
screens of digital devices where the written, oral, aural and
visual are constantly mixed and remixed. But it also reminds the
reader of the digital divides linked to socioeconomic, cultural,
language and geopolitical borders. With its focus on sociocultural
borders and translation, this book will be of interest to scholars
and students of media studies, African studies and cultural
studies.
