Translation, Interpretation, Manipulation. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 84
Translators and interpreters hold a crucial position
as mediators between cultures and societies. This
makes translation a highly influential activity in
the dissemination and exchange of knowledge and
naturally raises doubt concerning fidelity and
neutrality. Can translators really be objective? How
much influence do they have on texts? In light of the
importance of translation in today’s globalized
world, there is a need for critical awareness of the
limits of objectivity in translation and the
influential role of translators and interpreters.
This book provides a fundamental understanding of the
discipline of translation and analyzes the potential
influence and manipulative intervention of
translators. As it discusses one of the most
controversial topics in translation studies, it will
be of interest to students, professionals, and
anybody involved with translation.
