Maho Fukuno – författare

Fukuno illuminates the often-hidden journeys of individual translators and the moral, emotional and ideological complexities of their practice. It will help empower translators’ moral autonomy in translation practices.Recognising and understanding translators’ ethically and morally interpretive work cannot eliminate all uncertainties in inter- and cross-cultural communications, nor can it make the black box of translators’ work completely transparent. However, to construct a meaningful discussion on how human translators, machine translation and people everywhere can cooperate to create a more just society, it is essential to acknowledge the diverse values, identities and practices as they are held, imagined and experienced by professional, human translators.This book will be valuable to all students and researchers of translation and intercultural communication.
