Translation

As recent years have revealed, the concept of translation has grown increasingly important in a globalizing world and a multi-media society. Seeing translation as the negotiation of differences in identity construction does not only contribute to the understanding of contemporary cultural processes - it also makes it possible to find orientation and critical insights in a world of constantly changing social, political and media spaces.This collection of essays discusses the translational turn , proposing new theoretical approaches and providing new insights into the relation between narration and identity construction, between translation processes and the media.
