You Sneak the Human Back in
This paper investigates how automatic translation (AT) technologies, including neural machine translation (NMT) and Gen-AI (e.g., ChatGPT), are reshaping the creative agency and professional identity of translators. While prior research has explored the impact of automation on translation quality and labor conditions, little attention has been paid to how it reconfigures translation as meaningful creative work. We draw on 110 narrative interviews…
A Practice-Based Approach for Intercultural Communication
This article introduces a practice-based approach to intercultural communication (IC), proposing an epistemological integration that foregrounds how interculturality is enacted through socially and materially situated practices. Rather than framing IC within structural (macro) or individualist (micro) paradigms, the article focuses on the performative (meso) dimensions through which people “do” IC in context. Key concepts such as practical intell…
Critical AI literacy for interpreting in the age of AI
You can book an interpreter the same way you order your Uber
sponsorship: A previous version of this paper was presented at the Faculty and Community Seminar on Interpreting Studies and Practice of the College of Humanities & Fine Arts at the University of Massachusetts Amherst and at the 6th International Conference on Non-Professional Interpreting and Translation at the University of Cyprus. The author would like to thank the organisers and participants for their thought-provoking questions and construct…
Qualitative research in crisis
This paper develops and applies a methodology of qualitative inquiry that equips researchers to capture how social actors produce and contest accepted forms of knowledge at the margins of mainstream globalizing discourses in times of crisis. Standing at the intersection between conceptual and empirical research, our methodology builds on the common epistemological premises of 'narrative', as stories constructed and enacted in social life, and 'pr…
Digital work across the divide
While the platform economy in Japan has expanded rapidly, we have limited understanding of digital platform work at the crossroads of labour market dualisation, and how this impacts workers’ experiences. Guided by political economy and critical sociological approaches to dualisms, the paper investigates how platform work intersects with the increasing employment divide in Japan. Drawing upon secondary evidence and a qualitative study, the analysi…
They Wouldn't Mind Pushing People Off the Bus
Based on a qualitative interview dataset, this article highlights the power relations in the work experiences of UK-based professional simultaneous interpreters, who provide valuable communication services to users but are constrained by the 'invisible labour' arrangements of their job. Adopting a practice theory approach, this study extends available theorisations of power as an effect manifested in performance, by articulating a view of power s…
Embedded Strangers in One's Own Job? Freelance Interpreters' Invisible Work
This article investigates invisible work, as voiced by professionals in the interpreting sector in the UK. Informed by a practice theory approach alongside the sociology of invisible work, it re-frames invisibility as enacted according to the elements that organise and motivate work in terms of purposeful, normative and skilful actions. Drawing on a qualitative dataset of 20 observations and 46 interviews with interpreters, the article conceives …
Haken conference interpreters in Japan
This article investigates the professional status of conference interpreters in Japan, by focusing on interpreters employed as haken, that is, dispatched temporary workers. Combining the perspectives of interpreting studies and the sociology of work, it addresses both internal and external factors upholding interpreters’ status: expertise, autonomy, and authority, on one hand, and social and market dynamics, on the other hand. It provides a thick…
I thought I could get away from gender discrimination
This article explores the narratives of a group of Japanese women who, to escape gender discrimination in regular employment, deploy their linguistic expertise in temporary employment as interpreters. Building on research that highlights women’s investment dynamics into languages as an organising construct for their professional growth, this article argues that a category of Japanese women are increasingly turning to the ‘foreign option’ to mark …
The whole thing is really managing crisis
This article explores the relationship of crisis to the professional practice of interpreting. Applying a practice theory approach, it illustrates interpreters' sense-making efforts and strategic adjustments to crisis as an intrinsic part of their work. Leveraging upon the concepts of consciousness-mediated, accompanied adjustment and teleoaffectivity as ends, goals and emotions of life conditions, the article argues that we can identify core mea…
Interpreter training in Japanese higher education
“It’s not just words, it’s the feeling, the passion, the emotions”
This article explores the discursive mediation of affect in the professional practice of interpreting in contemporary Japan. It argues that affective practices, applied to the observation of interpreters' bodily and discursive performances, show that the fabricated distinction between reason and emotion present in the professional discourse of interpreting is misaligned with the reality of interpreters’ everyday engagement. By drawing upon affect…
Rickets in a High Social Class of Renaissance Italy
Exploration of the Medici Chapels in the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence revealed the burials of nine juvenile members of the Medici family (16th-17th centuries). The estimated children's skeletal ages ranged from newborns to 5-year-olds, showing a series of bone abnormalities, in particular diffuse periosteal new bone and bowing of long bones. The comparable pathological lesions, including porosity evident on the skull, orbital roofs, costoc…
An investigation of Etruscan cremations by Computed Tomography (CT)
The cremation urn is a tiny archaeological site of its own, with finds, features, stratification and structure. The old prescription was to take the pot apart, or slice it, and micro-excavate with inevitable damage and loss. Here is a new methodology - the application of a CT scan as used in medicine. The authors evaluate the results on 35 Etruscan cremations, finding that CT not only provides an excellent guide for micro-excavation, but allows t…
