Summary:

This scholarly volume explores the interplay between translation and participation as interconnected social practices. Edited by Jörg Dinkelaker and Klara-Aylin Wenten, it features interdisciplinary contributions from fields such as translation studies, sociology, anthropology, and education research. The book investigates how translational practices enable or constrain participation across social and linguistic boundaries, emphasizing their political and ethical implications. Key themes include the balance between accuracy and creativity in translation, the role of translators in producing knowledge across cultural contexts, and the power dynamics inherent in translation practices. With case studies on topics like migration, digital work environments, and adult education, the book provides insights into the complexities of fostering inclusion and understanding through translation. It targets academics, researchers, and practitioners interested in the social dimensions of translation and its impact on participation. Generated by AI.
