This Handbook provides the first comprehensive overview of sign
language translation and interpretation from around the globe and
looks ahead to future directions of research. Divided into eight
parts, the book covers foundational skills, the working context of
both the sign language translator and interpreter, their education,
the sociological context, work settings, diverse service users, and
a regional review of developments. The chapters are authored by a
range of contributors, both deaf and hearing, from the Global North
and South, diverse in ethnicity, language background, and academic
discipline. Topics include the history of the profession, the
provision of translation and interpreting in different domains and
to different populations, the politics of provision, and the state
of play of sign language translation and interpreting professions
across the globe. Edited and authored by established and new voices
in the field, this is the essential guide for advanced students and
researchers of translation and interpretation studies and sign
language.
Interpreting and the Politics of Recognition investigates the
historical, ethical and professional dimensions of this, arguably,
most widespread form of intercultural communication. Covering key
topics from colonialism to representation, ethics and power, it
looks at the different linguistic modalities (signed and spoken)
used within communities to investigate equality of citizens. The
contributors include leading authorities in their fields and use a
wide spread of examples from a variety of disparate cultures -
including deaf and ethnic minority groups. With eight chapters
presented in three thematic sections and a foreword by Michael
Cronin setting the book in its wider context, this volume will be
of interest to practising interpreters, researchers and advanced
students in the areas of Interpreting Studies, Translation Studies,
and Linguistics and Communication Studies. Additional resources for
Translation and Interpreting Studies are available on the Routledge

Based on an award-winning thesis, this volume is a pioneering study
of musical theatre and popular culture and its relation to the
production of identity in Lebanon in the second half of the
twentieth century. In the aftermath of the departure of the French
from Lebanon and the civil violence of 1958, the Rahbani brothers
(Asi and Mansour) staged a series of folkloric musical theatrical
extravaganzas at the annual Ba'labakk festival which highlighted
the talents of Asi's wife, the Lebanese diva Fairouz, arguably the
most famous living Arab singer. The inclusion of these folkloric
vignettes into the festival's otherwise European dominated cultural
agenda created a powerful nation-building combination of what
Partha Chatterjee calls the 'appropriation of the popular' and the
'classicization of tradition.' The Rahbani project coincides with
the confluence of increasing internal and external migration in
Lebanon, as well as with the rapid development of mass media
technology, of which the Ba'labakk festival can be seen as an
extension. Employing theories of nationalism, modernity, globalism
and locality, this book shows that these factors combined to give
the project a potent identity-forming power. Popular Culture and
Nationalism in Lebanon is the first study of Fairouz and the
Rahbani family in English and will appeal to students and
researchers in the field of Middle East studies, Popular culture
and musical theatre.

The Academic Foundations of Interpreting Studies is the first
introductory course book that explores the theoretical foundations
used in sign language interpreting studies. Authors Roy, Brunson,
and Stone examine the disciplines whose theoretical frameworks and
methodologies have influenced the academic study of interpreting.
With this text, explanations for how interpreted events occur, how
interpreted products are created, and how the interpreting process
is studied can be framed within a variety of theoretical
perspectives, forming a foundation for the emerging transdiscipline
of Interpreting Studies. As sign language interpreting has emerged
and evolved in the last 20 years as an academic field of study, the
scope of learning has broadened to include fields beyond the
language and culture of deaf people. This text surveys six
disciplines that have informed the study of sign language
interpreting: history, translation, linguistics, sociology, social
psychology, and cognitive psychology, along with their major ideas,
principal scholars, and ways of viewing human interaction. Each
chapter includes clear learning goals, definitions, discussion
questions, and images to aid understanding. The Academic
Foundations of Interpreting Studies is required reading for
upper-level undergraduate or first-year graduate students in
interpreting, Deaf studies, and sign language programs.

Evidence-based medicine is now firmly established in the lexicon of
modern health care. In "The Evidence for Plastic Surgery" the
diverse spectrum of plastic surgical practice is called to account
by a cross-examination of the available evidence in support of many
of the common treatment protocols and surgical procedures in
everyday use. The result is a text that makes an important
contribution to some of the contentious debates within the
speciality and details the critical appraisal of new or developing
techniques. This is a unique and invaluable reference source for
senior doctors and for those in training, not only in plastic
surgery but also in a variety of other closely aligned specialities
including general and orthopaedic surgery.
