No. 3 (2023): Translation as Event. Performing and Staging Translations
This issue of the Yearbook of Translational Hermeneutics contains contributions broadly aimed at relating translation theory and performance studies together, focused specifically on the notion of translation as an event. At issue is the extent to which the activities, processes and products of translation can be characterized as performance, and whether the profiling of translators as performers illuminates their embodied experience, cognitive operations, and material practice. At issue, moreover, is whether theories and philosophies of the event and eventfulness can assist in describing what happens to a source text when it is translated, performed and transformed into a new guise – or even into a new mode of being. This goes particularly for texts subject to inter-semiotic and inter-medial translation and which are accordingly performed thanks to other modalities of expression.
