This book focuses on the role of translation in a globalising
world. It presents a series of case studies that explore the ways
in which translation is subject to ideology and power play across
diverging domains and genres. Broadly based on a discussion of
'translation and the economies of power', the chapters examine an
array of contextual and textual factors, ranging from global,
regional and institutional power relations to the linguistic,
stylistic and rhetorical implications of translation decisions. The
book maps the multiple ways in which power relations and
ideological positions affect cross-cultural communication, with
special reference to repressive practices in history, translation
policies, media power and commercial hegemonies. It concludes that
future translation research will benefit from a more sustained
emphasis on the power of technology and economic capital.
