Translating and Interpreting Justice in a Postmonolingual Age
Sinopsis del Libro
The book is based on the concept of post-monolingualism as formulated by Yildiz (2012). Postmonolingualism refers to the resistance against the demands of monolingual institutions that require increasingly complex identities, social practices, and cultural products to conform to the expectancies of a normality which is no longer reasonable. To counter the demands for simplification of a monolingual paradigm, different approaches and initiatives that manage the complexities and diversities of our social, cognitive and moral nowadays are explored. From different and complementary theoretical frameworks, the contributions collected in this book shed light on the role of translation and interpreting in reaching understanding and social justice in hyper-diverse societies and deminoritizing underprivileged communities. Practical experiences and existing legal and policy frameworks are scrutinized to highlight the need for translation and interpreting policies in legal and institutional contexts in multicultural societies.This volume is an attempt to expand the limits of post-monolingualism as an adequate framework for exploring the possibilities of translation and interpreting in mediating between the myriad of sociocultural communities that coexist in modern societies. The contributions gathered in this volume focus on intercultural and intergroup understanding as a process and as a requisite for social justice and ethical progress, challenging some assumptions on the role of translation and interpreting and translators and interpreters. Researchers and policymakers in the fields of translation and interpreting studies, multiculturalism and education and language and diversity policies will find inspiring perspectives on how legal and institutional translation and interpreting can help pursue the goals of democratic societies.
