Translation and Opposition

This book explores issues of inter/intra-social agency and identity construction. It features studies in such diverse fields as interpreting, audiovisual translation and the translation of political discourse and literary texts. It demonstrates that translation is an act of negotiating fault lines between 'us' and cultural or political 'others'.
