Italy’s politicians in the news
Italy’s politicians in the news: journalistic translation and cultural representation." Perspectives, 31(1), p. 163
Multilingual collaboration for news translation analysis
Advances in news gathering and dissemination technologies have made it possible that news stories are being shared simultaneously around the world. One internationally newsworthy event can generate dozens of news reports in multiple languages almost immediately by means of translation. Although news translation research has gained traction over the last 15 years, it has thus far tended to focus only on one language pair or on European language co…
The methodological remainder in news translation research
This background paper recalls the main findings gained so far in news translation research. It also presents issues and questions which still deserve scholarly attention. The contributions to this special issue are contextualized in relation to research into news translation, or journalistic translation more widely. One of the major issues concerns the choice of methodological approaches to tackle the phenomenon of news translation. The contribut…
Translation practices in political institutions
This article explores the settings and practices of translation at three types of political institutions, i.e. national, supranational, and non-governmental organisations. The three institutions are the translation service of the German Foreign Office, the translation department of the European Central Bank, and translation provision by the non-governmental organisation Amnesty International. The three case studies describe the specific translati…
Rethinking Transediting
This paper reflects on the terms used in investigating news translation, with a special focus on the term transediting as it was suggested in a paper by Stetting. After a summary of Stetting's original arguments, some research into news translation is presented, illustrating main methods, findings, and concepts used. The paper presents arguments put forward by various scholars for using or rejecting the term translation for describing the complex…
Translational encounters in a globalized world
Globalization has become a buzzword in our current discourse, and its consequences for economy, trade, politics, and technology have been widely discussed by economists, politicians, and journalist
Intercultural intertextuality as a translation phenomenon
Texts as communicative occurrences are characterised by their interdependence on other texts, either of the same genre or of a different genre. This characteristic feature is known as intertextuality (or discursivity). The relationship can either be to texts originating in the same language and culture, or to texts originating in another language and culture. This paper comments on the discourse phenomenon of ‘intercultural intertextuality’ from …
Discourse and Politics
The Discourse of Politics in Action
Bringing a German Voice to English-speaking Readers
Translation is a regular phenomenon for news production, even if this is not always explicitly indicated. It is quite common that journalists themselves perform translations in their text production processes. Online media have added new possibilties to these processes. This paper looks at the transfer between print and online media texts from the point of view of translation. On the basis of case studies of English translations made available on…
Translation Research and Interpreting Research
"This volume deals with Translation Research (TR) and Interpreting Research (IR). In the main contribution, Daniel Gile from the Universite Lumiere Lyon 2 (France) explores kinship, differences and prospects for partnership between the two. He gives an overview of the history of research into translation and interpreting, explores commonalities and reviews differences between translation and interpreting, and discusses implications for research. …
Political Discourse Analysis from the point of view of Translation Studies
Political discourse very often relies on translation. Political Discourse Analysis (PDA), however, has not yet taken full account of the phenomenon of translation. This paper argues that the disciplines of Translation Studies (TS) and PDA can benefit from closer cooperation. It starts by presenting examples of authentic translations of political texts, commenting on them from the point of view of TS. These examples concern political effects cause…
Metaphor and translation
Politics as Text and Talk
Human beings are political animals. They are also articulate mammals. How are these two aspects linked? This is a question that is only beginning to be explored. The present collection makes a contribution to the investigations into the use of language in those situations which, informally and intuitively, we call ‘political’. Such an approach is revealing not only for politics itself but also for the human language capacity. Each chapter outline…
Introduction
The Idea of the Hybrid Text in Translation Revisited
This concluding chapter provides responses to some of the issues raised in the individual chapters, highlighting similarities and differences in the interpretation of the concept of the hybrid text. The questions dealt with here concern the notion of hybridity and the definition of hybrid text; the contexts in which hybrid texts emerge; the functions of hybrid texts; the various levels at which hybrid phenomena manifest themselves; the genres to …
The Idea of the Hybrid Text in Translation
Intercultural communication in the global environment frequently involves recourse to translation. This generates new phenomena which, in turn, raise new questions for translation theory and practice. This issue is concerned with the concept of the hybrid text as one of these phenomena. In this introductory chapter, a hybrid text is defined as: „a text that results from a translation process. It shows features that somehow seem ‘out of place'/‘st…
Translation and the EU ‐ Conditions and consequences
Translation plays an important role in the EU institutions. The description and explanation of the conditions of translation work and of the products of this work pose challenges to Translation Studies. For example, it needs to be tested whether traditional concepts do apply to the translation activity and its products, or whether modified or new concepts need to be introduced. Some of these concepts are reconsidered in view of the new contexts. …

Meeting the Challenge on the Path to Democracy
The communicative practice in the ex-GDR was complex and diverse, although public political discourse had been fairly ritualized. Text-types characteristic of the Communist Party discourse were full of general (superordinate) terms semantic specification was hardly possible (propositional reduction). Changes in the social world result in changes in the communicative practice as well. However, a systematic comparision of text-types across cultures…
