Description
In Translation Sites, leading theorist Sherry Simon shows how the processes and effects of translation pervade contemporary life.
This field guide is an invitation to explore hotels, markets, museums, checkpoints, gardens, bridges, towers and streets as sites of translation.
These are spaces whose meanings are shaped by language traffic and by a clash of memories.
Touching on a host of issues from migration to the future of Indigenous cultures, from the politics of architecture to contemporary metrolingualism, Translation Sites powerfully illuminates questions of public interest.
Abundantly illustrated, the guidebook creates new connections between translation studies and memory studies, urban geography, architecture and history.
This ground-breaking book is both an engaging read for a wide-ranging audience and an important text in broadening the scope of translation studies.
