Translation, Politics and Society
About the Book Series
Translation is increasingly becoming a broad topic of scholarly reflection in the social sciences and the humanities. Translation, Politics and Society provides an interdisciplinary space for research in translation studies that substantially draws on sociological theories and social research methodologies. It also seeks to contribute to the growing visibility of translation in the social sciences and the humanities more broadly through new research that reveals the social and political significance of translation, while promoting at the same time self-reflexivity on the translational aspects of knowledge-production in disciplines such as sociology, political science, policy studies and anthropology.
The series publishes broad-ranging, accessible titles that will be of interest to advanced students and researchers with disciplinary backgrounds in sociology, political science, anthropology, international relations, human rights studies, cultural studies and translation studies.
