This edited volume explores emotion and its translations through
the global world from a variety of different perspectives, as a
personal, socio- cultural, ideological, ethical and political, even
business investment in the latest phases of globalisation. Emotions
are powerful in engaging or disengaging individuals, communities,
the masses, peoples and nations with distinct linguistic and
cultural backgrounds for good, but also for evil. All depends on
how emotions are interpreted, that is, translated in "words" or in
"facts", in any case in "signs". Semiotic reflection on emotions
and their interpretation/translation is thus of essential
importance. An adequate understanding of emotional phenomena and
their complexities calls for different views which together reveal
and illustrate inconsistencies in our modern life. The contributors
argue that an investigation of types of emotional translation -
linguistic and non- linguistic, audio-visual, theatrical, literary,
racial, legal, architectural, political, and so forth - can
contribute to a better understanding of emotions and how they are
exploited to engender injustice, unfairness, absurdity in
contemporary life. Nonetheless, emotions are also exploited and
oriented - and this is the intent of our authors - to favour the
development of sustainable multicultural societies and facilitate
living together. A major reference for students and scholars in
translation, semiotics, language and cultural studies around the
world.
