Corpora and Translation
Corpora allow scholars the opportunity to investigate and make generalizations about translation and language use based on the observation of cumulative patterns of occurrence in actual texts. Over the years, corpus‐based translation research has grown in complexity as regards the design of studies, the computational methods used, and the range of areas investigated. In professional and general practice, corpora have provided the basis for the au…
Synopsis
Il dominio dell’inglese e di un numero ristretto di lingue europee la cui portata globale è una conseguenza della loro storia coloniale continua a perpetuare l’imperialismo linguistico e a contribuire all’omogeneizzazione culturale e alla persistenza delle disuguaglianze nella comunicazione globale. I dati online ereditano queste asimmetrie linguistiche, culturali ed epistemologiche in una spirale che si autoalimenta e le acuisce dandole in pasto…
La doppia vita di una traduttrice palestinese
Questo saggio esamina l’atto della traduzione da Gaza come una forma di testimonianza di un mondo che scompare, dove la lingua stessa diventa un veicolo di sopravvivenza e un luogo di lotta. Di fronte alla cancellazione in corso, i traduttori palestinesi occupano uno spazio liminale, facendo da ponte tra l’immediatezza del dolore provato in arabo e le strutture distaccate, spesso sterilizzate, di un’altra lingua, non concepita per trasmettere una…

Manga in America. Transnational book publishing and the domestication of Japanese comics
This volume, which is presented in the back cover blurb as the first book-length study of ‘the American manga publishing industry’ (where America means the US and Canada), is a sociological investigation based on comprehensive ethnographic fieldwork. The author, who previously worked as a freelancer in the industry and thus enjoyed the status of semiinsider, interviewed 70 people working in different positions for various publishers in the US and…
Under surveillance’. An introduction to popular fiction in translation
The translation of popular fiction is an under researched field within Translation Studies, with a very limited number of general studies and a few articles scattered among different journals and edited collections. The introduction to this special issue on popular fiction in translation highlights the novelty of the volume, looking at translated popular texts from a broad-based perspective, providing a literature overview and identifying some co…
Translation, censorship and the development of European comics cultures
This article provides an historical overview of the role played by translation and censorship in the development of national traditions of graphic storytelling in Europe. In the mid 1930s, comics industries witnessed a boom in countries like Italy, France and Spain, largely due to the influence of imported American comics. Other nations followed different routes. The UK, for instance, acted as an exporting country towards the rest of Europe but i…

Sketching landscapes in translation studies
This paper investigates how subfields within translation studies have been defined and how research interests and foci have shifted over the years, using data from the Translation Studies Abstracts (TSA) online database. We draw on the notions of 'landscape' and 'sketch maps' in an attempt to reflect on the role that TSA editors, as well as writers of papers and abstracts, have had on the dynamics of the field. We start by offering an overview of…
Dylan Dog Goes to the USA
This paper is about the translation of comic books from an “importing” country like Italy to an “exporting” country, the USA. Our analysis focuses on the publication by Dark Horse, a major USA “independent” comic books publisher (as opposed to “mainstream” publishers such as Marvel and DC comics) of a number of comic books featuring Dylan Dog, the main character and title bearer of a monthly series of considerable success in Italy. First of all w…
Bilingual Comparable Corpora and the Training of Translators
This article demonstrates how small bilingual corpora of either general or specialised language can be used to devise a variety of structured and self-centred classroom activities whose aim is to enhance the understanding of the source language text and the ability to produce fluent target language texts
