Drawing on a variety of theoretical concepts and methods, this book
addresses the interface between language, politics and translation.
The contributors analyse the role, practice and impact of
journalistic translation in Canada, China, Arab countries, France,
Spain, the Ukraine, Finland and Serbia. The introductory chapter
surveys the evolution of journalistic translation research during
the period 2015-2020. The chapters that follow delve into the role
of language and translation in news production with a specific
focus on the connections with politics and power. The authors
analyse Canadian newspapers in French and English during the
subprime crises, the representation of Muslims in three European
newspapers in the aftermath of Nice terrorist attacks, the
translation of Donald Trumps' tweets in Spain, the role of
evaluation in opinion articles in the Ukraine, the use of reported
speech in Finnish articles, the translation of Donald Trump's
offensive comments into Arabic and so on. In the discussions, the
authors draw on functional grammar, critical discourse analysis,
Appraisal theory and pragmatics. This volume will appeal to all
those interested in the ways translation shapes media constructions
of news events and showcases the centrality of journalistic
translation research as a dynamic subfield within translation
studies. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of the journal Perspectives: Studies in Translation
Theory and Practice.
