Translation rights of the more-than-human: Thoughts on whale bioacoustics
Eco-translation has opened up translation studies to multiple forms of communication that take place in the more-than-human world, challenging the barriers that persist between humanities and life sciences. The article discusses issues of translation, representation, and ethics in relation to the communication systems of cetaceans (dolphins, whales, and porpoises). It explores “language”, “translation”, and “(un)translatability” in the context of…
Making the leap: Embracing the more-than-human in feminist and queer translation
Intersections between gender, feminism, and ecological issues have been explored for more than fifty years. Scholars have demonstrated that ecosystems and life forms are oppressed by the same systems of power critiqued and challenged by queer and feminist research. They have unearthed connections between patriarchy, capitalism, racism, colonialism, imperialism, speciesism, and environmental destruction. Against these intellectual debates, the lac…
‘Sign and move on’: Interpreter awareness of legal and ethical informed consent in maternity care
This article explores informed consent in maternity care in multilingual and multicultural contexts. Based on findings from a Royal Society of Edinburgh funded research project carried out in 2022 in Scotland, the article examines why consent is particularly crucial in maternity care, how it is usually obtained in the case of parents with limited English proficiency, and which barriers may stand in the way of truly informed consent. By focusing o…
Translation and the climate crisis: Attending to the local in a global emergency
Discourse on the climate crisis is intrinsically dependent on and intertwined with the concept of translation. The term is used in distinct but interrelated senses in the relevant literature. The first, reflected in the term “knowledge translation”, generally refers to the dissemination of research findings to stakeholders and the general population. The second, closely related sense of translation concerns the rendering of scientific knowledge i…

Roundtable: Feminist interpreting (studies) – the story so far
This debate arose from my interest in translation and interpreting practices within maternal healthcare viewed from an ethical and feminist perspective, with a particular focus on advocacy.During the literature review, it quickly became obvious to me that, compared to feminist translation, research on feminist interpreting is scarce.My curiosity to find out what has been done in the field led me to reach out to colleagues with the relevant experi…
Representing experiential knowledge: Who may translate whom
This provocation piece discusses the difficulties of translating texts based on experiential and corporeal knowledge. Personal narratives often comprise such knowledge; therefore, their interpretation and rendering in other languages give rise to some controversial questions. For instance, do we need translators/interpreters with supposedly “analogous” life experiences to source authors/speakers? Who has “the right” to translate/interpret/represe…
Response by Susam-Saraeva to the responses to “Representing experiential knowledge”
The debates that started with the Forum “Representing Experiential Knowledge: Who May Translate Whom?” have surpassed anything I could have ever imagined at the time of writing the provocation piec
Translating Birth Stories as Counter-Narratives
Este artículo estudia las narrativas en torno al parto y su traducción desde los enfoques de la teoría narrativa, los estudios feministas y los estudios de traducción. En línea con los argumentos de que las narrativas personales pueden socavar las narrativas públicas y que una experiencia subjetiva puede ser una fuente de conocimiento legítima para cuestionar instituciones y autoridades, relatos de nacimiento se presentan aquí como ‘contranarrati…
