What Is Cultural Translation? In this book, Sarah Maitland uncovers
processes of negotiation and adaptation closely associated with the
translation of languages behind the cultural phenomena of everyday
life. For globalized societies confronted increasingly with the
presence of difference in all its forms, translation has become
both a metaphor for thoughtful encounter and a touchstone act for
what we see, do and say, and who we are. Drawing on examples from
across cultural domains (theatre, film, TV and literature) this
work illuminates the elusive concept of 'cultural translation'.
Focusing on the built environment, current affairs, international
relations and online media, this book arrives at a view of
translation in its broadest sense. It is a means for decoding how
we shape the cultural realm and serves as a vehicle for new ways of
seeing and being that question the received ideas that structure
the communities in which we live. Written in a clear and engaging
style, this is the first book-length study of cultural translation.
It builds a powerful case for expanding the remit of translation to
cover the experience of living and working in a globalized,
multicultural world, and is of interest to all involved in the
academic study of representation and contestation in contemporary
cultural practice.
