This article considers the construction of the literary fame of Roberto Saviano, author of the 2006 Italian bestseller Gomorra, in the British book marketplace. In order to understand the political import of Saviano's translated author-brand, this analysis utilizes the tools of narrative theory to look at what narratives were created around the authorial personality and what other public narratives and meta-narratives are mobilized to introduce the author to his new reading public.
Amelia Barikin, Nikos Papastergiadis, Audrey Yue, Scott McQuire, Ross Gibson; Xin Gu Journal of Intercultural Studies 2014, Vol. 35, No. 4, 349–365. Translation is a key concept for interpreting cross-cultural exchanges. In this article, we track the development of an artistic project that we developed in conjunction with Federation Square Melbourne and Art Centre Nabi in Seoul. It involved the performance of a live telematic dance that occurred in both cities and was transmitted via the use of large screens.

Organized around three factors that are responsible for shaping the study of translation and interpreting today: post-positivist theoretical approaches, developments in the language industry, and technological innovations, this volume is divided into three parts: Part I introduces the basic concepts organizing translation and interpreting research, such as the difference between qualitative and quantitative research, between product-oriented and process-oriented studies, and between prescriptive and descriptive approaches.
David Charlston Radical Philosophy 186 (Jul/Aug 2014)
David Charlston Most branches of philosophy and many other disciplines in the humanities and social sciences studied in the anglophone academy draw on texts written in languages other than English and therefore rely on the products of translation, especially translations of historical, European philosophy.

CALL FOR PAPERS Rethinking Hegemony and Domination in Translation Special Issue of Target – International Journal of Translation Studies Guest edited by Stefan Baumgarten and Yan Ying (Bangor University, Wales, UK), and Jordi Cornellà-Detrell (Glasgow University) Rationale While there is no doubt that the ‘ideological’ and ‘power turn’ have reshaped the discipline of Translation Studies, much work still needs to be done in order to fully understand the ontological and epistemological underpinnings of the impact of ideology and power on the theory and practice of translation.

Dec 1 2014 One morning this summer I paid a visit to the sole United Nations agency in London. The headquarters of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) sit on the southern bank of the Thames, a short distance upstream from the Houses of Parliament. As I approached, I saw that a ship’s prow, sculpted in metal, was grafted like a nose to the ground floor of this otherwise bland building.
