Media paratexts and translation
Drawing on examples from recent promotional campaigns created by streaming platform Netflix, this article reflects on translation and media paratexts from an interdisciplinary perspective. It includes discussion of marketing approaches, political and commercial constraints and priorities, theoretical frameworks, and future directions in media paratext research. It also introduces and contextualizes the contributions included in the special issue …
Images of 'Africa' in China-Africa cooperation
The question of who represents Africa and how Africa is represented to global audiences continues to be hotly debated in academic publications and in the media. The majority of these discussions critique Western representations of Africa, or set up the West as the implied Other in debates over Africa's right to self-representation. In recent years, however, Africa has found itself increasingly represented by the People's Republic of China. This a…
Translation and Paratexts
As the 'thresholds' through which readers and viewers access texts, paratexts have already sparked important scholarship in literary theory, digital studies and media studies. Translation and Paratexts explores the relevance of paratexts for translation studies and provides a framework for further research. Writing in three parts, Kathryn Batchelor first offers a critical overview of recent scholarship, and in the second part introduces three ori…
China-Africa Relations
China-Africa Relations
Twenty-first century Sino-African cultural cooperation
This chapter explores the ways in which the Beijing Declaration commitment to vigorous promotion of cooperation in the cultural arena has played, and it focuses on the cooperation that takes place through official channels, as opposed to more ad-hoc instances of cultural performance or exchange. It also explores the nature of Sino-African cultural cooperation, examining the type of reciprocity that is actually realised and seeking to identify the…
Translating Frantz Fanon Across Continents and Languages
This book provides an innovative look at the reception of Frantz Fanon’s texts, investigating how, when, where and why these—especially his seminal Les Damnés de la Terre (1961) —were first translated and read. Building on renewed interest in the author’s works in both postcolonial studies and revolutionary movements in recent years, as well as travelling theory, micro-history and histoire croisée interests in Translation Studies, the volume tell…
Intimate Enemies
Intimate Enemies
The concept of translation has become central to postcolonial theory in recent decades, offering as it does a useful metaphor or metonym for many of the processes explored within the framework of postcolonial studies. Translation proper, however remains relatively underexplored and, in many postcolonial multilingual contexts, underexploited. This volume draws together reflections by translators, authors and academics working across three broad ge…

Third Spaces, Mimicry and Attention to Ambivalence
It has long been acknowledged that the disciplines of translation studies and cultural studies have much in common, yet little critical attention has been paid to the ways in which theorists from both disciplines borrow and adapt terms from each other in order to develop their own domains of enquiry. This paper focuses on the influence of cultural studies theorist Homi K. Bhabha on translation studies, outlining and critiquing current usage of co…
