A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This timely collection critically addresses post 9/11 issues of globalization and violence, ethics and violence, human rights, discourse and the media, ethics and translation. It explores the important role played by translation in reformulating global messages and tailoring them to local contexts. A lot of work out there on globalization and violence or globalization and translation, but this brings together the three issues to create new lines of debate for globalization research. Impressive line-up of international contributors (UK, US, Europe and India).Contributors come from a wide range of disciplinary perspectives (sociology, politics, philosophy, law, cultural studies, translation studies, and media studies). Written by leading scholars in a range of disciplines (from law, philosophy, politics and sociology to media studies and translation studies), this book provides key insights into the globalization of violence and the role of translation in this context, and includes detailed empirical analyses of media representations and translators' accounts.
