The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Culture

The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Culture collects into a single volume thirty-two state-of-the-art chapters, written by international specialists, overviewing the ways in which Translation Studies has both informed, and been informed by, interdisciplinary approaches to culture. The five sections provide a wealth of resources, covering both core issues and topics in the first instance. The second section considers the relationship between Translation and Cultural Narratives, drawing on both historical and religious case studies. The third section covers Translation and Social Contexts, including the issues of cultural resistance, indigenous cultures and cultural representation. The fourth section addresses Translation and Cultural Creativity, citing both popular fiction and graphic novels as examples. The final section covers Translation and Culture in Professional Settings, including cultures of science, legal settings and intercultural businesses.

This handbook offers a wealth of information for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates and researchers working in the area of Translation and Interpreting Studies.
