Synopsis Writing a Translation Commentary by : Penélope Johnson
This essential textbook is a step-by-step guide to how to write a self-reflective translation commentary, a key requirement of most courses on translation. Starting with source text analysis, it guides students in how to set out a translation strategy and goes through the most common challenging issues encountered, thus enabling students to set out their translation priorities in an informed manner. Throughout each chapter, there are boxes summarising key concepts and suggestions of tasks and activities, as well as recommendations for further reading. The book is supplemented by online resources for students and teachers on the translation studies portal. There are nine PowerPoints based on the chapters of the book that could be used for teaching or self-study. There are also downloadable versions of sample assessment rubrics, tables for example selection, and checklists. Based on real life examples of students' work in different language combinations, drawing on the author's years of experience of teaching commentary writing, this book focuses on several types of language mediation that go beyond the written word, such as interpreting, audiovisual translation, localisation, and transcreation. This is a vital textbook for students writing commentaries on translation and interpreting courses, a useful resource for supervisors providing students with guidance on how to write a balanced, articulate, and convincing commentary and a handy reference for professional translators and interpreters needing to explain their translation decisions to clients.

Synopsis Translation and Literature in East Asia by : Jieun Kiaer
Translation and Literature in East Asia: Between Visibility and Invisibility explores the issues involved in translation between Chinese, Japanese and Korean, as well as from these languages into European languages, with an eye to comparing the cultures of translation within East Asia and tracking some of their complex interrelationships. This book reasserts the need for a paradigm shift in translation theory that looks beyond European languages and furthers existing work in this field by encompassing a wider range of literature and scholarship in East Asia. Translation and Literature in East Asia brings together material dedicated to the theory and practice of translation between and from East Asian languages for the first time.

Synopsis Translators Writing, Writing Translators by : Françoise Massardier-Kenney
Translators Writing, Writing Translators is a collection of essays by some of the leading scholar-practitioners working in the field of translation studies. Inspired by the work of distinguished translator and theorist Carol Maier, the contributors reflect, in a variety of forms--from biographical essays to studies of fictional translators to reflective commentary on translation projects and collaborations--on the complex, constantly evolving relationship of theory and practice as embodied in the writing of translators and in the concept of translation as writing. The fact that most scholars in translation studies are also practitioners is one of the unique and defining aspects of the discipline. Nonetheless, the field has long been distinguished by a separation of translation theory and practice evidenced by suspicion among practitioners regarding the relevance of translation theory and reluctance by theoreticians to incorporate translation practice into their theoretical writings. Maier's pioneering work stands out as a particularly influential and provocative attempt to rethink and deconstruct the opposition of theory to practice. For Maier, translation theory becomes a site for the investigation of the translator's personal and professional investments in a foreign author, and the translation itself becomes an embodiment of a host of theoretical concerns. Considering the translator's biography and credentials is another defining feature of Maier's work that is discussed in the essays of this volume. The combination of the theoretical and the practical makes this collection of interest to a broad array of readers, from scholars and students of translation studies and world literature, to translation practitioners, and as to general readers interested in questions of translation and cross-cultural communication. Rosemary Arrojo, Peter Bush, Ronald Christ, Suzanne Jill Levine, Christi Merrill, No�l Valis, Lawrence Venuti, and Kelly Washbourne are just a few of the scholar-practitioners contributing to this volume. The introduction by Brian James Baer, Fran�oise Massardier-Kenney, and Maria Tymoczko offers an overview of the central concerns of Maier's work as a writing translator and a translator who writes.
