Since the 1970s, the field of Translation Studies has entered into dialogue with an array of other disciplines, sustaining a close but contentious relationship with literary translation. At Translation’s Edge expands this interdisciplinary dialogue by taking up questions of translation across sub-fields and within disciplines, including film and media studies, comparative literature, history, and education among others. For the contributors to this volume, translation is understood in its most expansive, transdisciplinary sense: translation as exchange, migration, and mobility, including cross-cultural communication and media circulation. Whether exploring the Universal Declaration of Human Rights or silent film intertitles, this volume brings together the work of scholars aiming to address the edges of Translation Studies while engaging with major and minor languages, colonial and post-colonial studies, feminism and disability studies, and theories of globalization and empire.
"Readers tired of nervous calls for clear disciplinary borders around Translation Studies will rejoice at this book, written half by translation scholars living on various knife edges of the discipline, half by people the editors call 'disciplinary neighbors, commuters, for whom questions raised in and by translation serve to queer, as it were, their professional working terrain.' Call me fractious, or fractal, but it’s always seemed to me that we all live at the edge of translation, always, and shouldn’t pretend otherwise." -- Douglas Robinson * author of Critical Translation Studies *
"At Translation’s Edge is an exciting, innovative and engaging volume which demonstrates the truly subversive potential of translation in the contemporary moment. Ranging across languages, historical periods and technologies, At Translation’s Edge shows how time and again translation disrupts normative thinking about language, writing and politics. This book is required reading for anyone concerned about the democratic future of our multilingual planet." -- Michael Cronin * author of Eco-Translation: Translation and Ecology in the Age of the Anthropocene *
