Sinopsis

Thisáhighly accessible introduction to translation theory, written by a leading author in the field, uses the genre ofáfilm to bring the main themes in translation to life. Through analyzing films as diverse as the Marx BrothersâÇÖ A Night at the Opera, The Star Wars Trilogies and Lost in Translation, the readeráis encouraged to think about both issues and problems of translation as they are played out on the screen and issues of filmic representation through examining the translation dimension of specific films. In highlighting how translation has featured in both mainstream commercial and arthouse films over the years, Cronináshows how translation has been a concern of filmmakers dealing with questions of culture, identity, conflict and representation. This book is a lively and accessible text for translation theory courses and offers a new and largely unexplored approach to topics of identity and representation on screen. Translation Goes to the Moviesáwill be of interest to those on translation studies and film studies courses.
