In Translation Sites, leading theorist Sherry Simon shows how the
processes and effects of translation pervade contemporary life.
This field guide is an invitation to explore hotels, markets,
museums, checkpoints, gardens, bridges, towers and streets as sites
of translation. These are spaces whose meanings are shaped by
language traffic and by a clash of memories. Touching on a host of
issues from migration to the future of Indigenous cultures, from
the politics of architecture to contemporary metrolingualism,
Translation Sites powerfully illuminates questions of public
interest. Abundantly illustrated, the guidebook creates new
connections between translation studies and memory studies, urban
geography, architecture and history. This ground-breaking book is
both an engaging read for a wide-ranging audience and an important
text in broadening the scope of translation studies.
