The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Media cover

The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Media provides the first comprehensive account of the role of translation in the media, which has become a thriving area of research in recent decades. It offers theoretical and methodological perspectives on translation and media in the digital age, as well as analyses of a wide diversity of media contexts and translation forms.

Divided into four parts with an editor introduction, the 33 chapters are written by leading international experts and provide a critical survey of each area with suggestions for further reading. The Handbook aims to showcase innovative approaches and developments, bridging the gap between currently separate disciplinary subfields and pointing to potential synergies and broad research topics and issues.

With a broad-ranging, critical and interdisciplinary perspective, this Handbook is an indispensable resource for all students and researchers of translation studies, audiovisual translation, journalism studies, film studies and media studies.

'Esperança Bielsa has assembled an excellent and timely collection of essays that explore and illuminate how our media environment is changing from print to digital and how global flows of media are increasing exponentially, demonstrating that it’s more important than ever to reconsider the complex relationships between translation and media.'

Jonathan Evans, University of Glasgow, UK

'This expertly assembled collection brings together an impressive array of contributors to provide an authoritative snapshot of media translation, both in traditional journalistic settings and social media platforms. Covering key theoretical and methodological issues in the field, the Routledge Handbook of Translation and Media is a staple text for anyone interested in emerging translation practices and their impact on contemporary social imaginaries and deliberative processes.'
