Translation and Opposition is an edited volume that brings together
cultural and sociological perspectives by examining translation
through the prism of linguistic/cultural hybridity and
inter/intra-social agency. In a collection of diverse case studies,
ranging from the translation of political texts to interpreting in
concentration camps, the book explores issues of power struggle,
ideology, censorship and identity construction. The contributors to
the volume show how translators, interpreters and subtitlers as
mediators put their specific professional and ethical competences
to the test by treading the dividing lines between constellations
of 'in-groups' and cultural or political 'others'.
This book examines comic book adaptations of Aristophanes' plays in
order to shed light on how and why humour travels across cultures
and time. Forging links between modern languages, translation and
the study of comics, it analyses the Greek originals and their
English translations and offers a unique, language-led research
agenda for cultural flows, and the systematic analysis of textual
norms in a multimodal environment. It will appeal to students and
scholars of Modern Languages, Translation Studies, Comics Studies,
Cultural Studies and Comparative Literature.
