Trans-Lated : Translation and Cultural Manipulation Paperback / softback
by Said Faiq
Paperback / softback
Description
Translation is intercultural communication par excellence.
It has the power to form and/or deform cultures through sustained manipulation of the translation process and all that goes into it: from texts chosen for translation to the words used.
But nowhere has manipulation through translation been more damaging than in the cultural exchange of goods between the Arab/Islamic worlds and the West.
Drawing on this complex cultural relationship, the chapters in this volume address issues such as the rise of a master discourse of translation; pseudo-translation; self-translation; and the historiography of translation.
