Series: Routledge Handbooks in Translation and Interpreting Studies

This is the first handbook to provide a comprehensive coverage of the main approaches that theorize translation and globalization, offering a wide-ranging selection of chapters dealing with substantive areas of research. The handbook investigates the many ways in which translation both enables globalization and is inevitably transformed by it.

Taking a genuinely interdisciplinary approach, the authors are leading researchers drawn from the social sciences, as well as from translation studies. The chapters cover major areas of current interdisciplinary interest, including climate change, migration, borders, democracy and human rights, as well as key topics in the discipline of translation studies. This handbook also highlights the increasing significance of translation in the most pressing social, economic and political issues of our time, while accounting for the new technologies and practices that are currently deployed to cope with growing translation demands.

With five sections covering key concepts, people, culture, economics and politics, and a substantial introduction and conclusion, this handbook is an indispensable resource for students and researchers of translation and globalization within translation and interpreting studies, comparative literature, sociology, global studies, cultural studies and related areas.

Reviews for The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Globalization

"""The essays in this collection represent an array of approaches to decolonizing translation, drawing on a wide range of theories such as postnationalism, ecology, histories of migration, border violence, language rights and social justice, and much more. An indispensable resource for those who want to get up to speed on a rapidly evolving field with significant impact on the humanities today."" Emily Apter, New York University, USA"
