Summary:

This collection of seventeen articles on translation theory examines the use and abuse of re-created text in situations of conflict and confrontation. The work is divided into sections covering the rewriting of "history," declarations and denunciations of identity, and socio-cultural gate-keeping. Individual articles discuss such topics as translating empire in modern Russian literature, translation as a means of ideological struggle, the dialectics of opposition and construction, and translation as a threat to fascism. Contributors include academics in comparative literature and related fields from major European universities. Distributed in the US by UTP Distribution.
