Salama-Carr Myriam (ed.) Translating and Interpreting Conflict

Amsterdam, New York: Rodopi, 2007. — viii, 282 p. — (Approaches to Translation Studies 28). — ISBN 978-90-420-2200-3.This volume brings together selected papers from the first international conference on Translation and Conflict, hosted by the University of Salford in November 2004, and a number of invited essays on the same theme. Throughout these essays ‘conflict’ refers to those situations of political, cultural and ideological confrontation in which the translator and the interpreter can be involved, rather than serving as a metaphor for the tension and resistance which are inevitably present in intercultural communication.Myriam Salama-Carr.
