Ideology has become increasingly central to work in translation
studies. To date, however, most studies have focused on literary
and religious texts, thus limiting wider understanding of how
ideological clashes and encounters pervade any context where power
inequalities are present. This special edition of The Translator
deliberately focuses on ideology in the translation of a rich
variety of lesser-studied genres, namely academic writing, cultural
journals, legal and scientific texts, political interviews,
advertisements, language policy and European Parliament discourse,
in all of which translation as a social practice can be seen to
shape, maintain and at times also resist and challenge the
asymmetrical nature of exchanges between parties engaged in or
subjected to hegemonic practices. The volume opens with two
ground-breaking papers that investigate the nature and
representation of truth and knowledge in the translation of the
sciences, followed by two contributions which approach the issue of
shifts in the translation of ideology from the standpoint of
critical linguistics and critical discourse analysis, using data
from political speeches and interviews and from English and Korean
versions of Newsweek. Other contributions discuss the role that
translation scholars can play in raising public awareness of the
manipulative devices used in advertising; the way in which
potentially competing institutional and individual ideologies are
negotiated in the context of interpreting in the European Union;
the role translation plays in shaping the politics of a
multilingual nation state, with reference to Belgium; and the
extent to which the concepts of norms and polysystems may be
productive in investigating the link between translation and
ideology, with reference to Chinese data.
