This volume focuses on the highly debated topic of theatrical
translation, one brought on by a renewed interest in the idea of
performance and translation as a cooperative effort on the part of
the translator, the director, and the actors. Exploring the role
and function of the translator as co-subject of the performance, it
addresses current issues concerning the role of the translator for
the stage, as opposed to the one for the editorial market, within a
multifarious cultural context. The current debate has shown a
growing tendency to downplay and challenge the notion of
translational accuracy in favor of a recreational and post-dramatic
attitude, underlying the role of the director and playwright
instead. This book discusses the delicate balance between
translating and directing from an intercultural, semiotic,
aesthetic, and interlingual perspective, taking a critical stance
on approaches that belittle translation for the theatre or equate
it to an editorial practice focused on literality. Chapters
emphasize the idea of dramatic translation as a particular and
extremely challenging type of performance, while consistently
exploring its various textual, intertextual, intertranslational,
contextual, cultural, and intercultural facets. The notion of
performance is applied to textual interpretation as performance,
interlingual versus intersemiotic performance, and (inter)cultural
performance in the adaptation of translated texts for the stage,
providing a wide-ranging discussion from an international group of
contributors, directors, and translators.
