The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Culture

The second edition of Routledge Handbook of Translation and Culture collects into a single volume thirty-three state-of-the-art chapters written by international specialists, overviewing the ways in which translation studies have both informed, and been informed by, interdisciplinary approaches to culture. The new edition retains its distinctive interdisciplinary approach, combining perspectives from Translation Studies with insights drawn from anthropology, indigenous studies, cultural studies, and media studies, while reflecting the major developments that have shaped this transformative decade.

The handbook offers innovative reflections on the global impact of artificial intelligence across all spheres of activity, while other chapters extend the scope to new cultural contexts and emerging research areas. This thoroughly updated new edition includes the addition of "Translating Without Words," a new section demonstrating that translation is not merely an intellectual, cognitive, and linguistic process, but also a sensory one. The chapters explore how experiential, sensory, and "felt" forms of translation attune our senses to the perception and creation of meaning, revealing how the discipline has evolved in the twenty-first century.

This broad-ranging volume combines comprehensive literature reviews, original essays, case studies, and extensive bibliographic reference and is an essential resource for advanced undergraduates, postgraduates, and researchers in translation and interpreting studies.
