The Routledge Handbook of Translation and Young Audiences offers a comprehensive overview of translation in the context of young audiences.The handbook synthesises research on translation of children’s and young adult literature, audiovisual translation, the translation of comics and picture books, empirical research methods, and translation performed by fan communities in the digital world. Adopting a forward-looking approach, it is organised around these five key themes which, taken together, propose a new way of looking at interrelated phenomena which have never been brought together before to map this emerging area of study. Featuring 35 contributions from leading and emerging scholars, the volume showcases a range of perspectives which focus on translation and cultural practices around children and young adults not only as readers, viewers, and consumers but also as prosumers and collaborative creators of content.Providing a multi-layered perspective on the study of translation and young audiences, this handbook will be a valuable resource for students and scholars in translation studies, particularly those interested in audiovisual translation, media translation, multimodal texts, and children’s literature.

Focusing on children’s literature, comics, and digital media, this book explores alternative forms of translation, which differ from the more traditional approaches and practices in these fields and from the predominant conceptualizations of translation.Alternative translation has been selected as an overarching theme for this project as it has the potential to provide an effective framework for examining underexplored translation activities and cultural contexts. We use it to revisit existing areas of translation and to shed more light on newly-emerging translation territories. The book offers a combination of European and non-European perspectives and several languages represented, including English, Polish, Japanese, Spanish and Catalan. The diverse forms of alternative translation examined in the book include digital manga translation, fan translation, scanlation, transcreation, indirect translation, visual translation, and competing (re-)translations. By exploring these areas, this volume shows valuable contrasts and enables new and more nuanced understandings of translation in general. Connecting Japan, Spain, and Poland under the umbrella of alternative translation, it also invites exploration of other semi-peripheral and non-hegemonic sociocultural contexts.The book will provide insights for scholars, teachers, and postgraduate students in translation studies, children’s literature studies, comics studies, cultural studies, fan studies, and media studies.

"This book looks at translator and interpreter training, focusing on mediation and culture in a global context. It updates numerous research currents in translator and interpreter education by situating them in relation to broader curricular and technological discussions. Particular attention is given to the way in which translator and interpreter training relates both to other topics on university curricula, and to recent developments in the professional sphere of language mediation. These include the new European standard for translation services and the ethical training of interpreters. The significant impact of new technologies in translation is also studied. These discussions take place in the context of an increasingly mature and sophisticated theoretical environment of translator and interpreter training research, one which recognizes the implications of discourses such as constructivism and objectives-oriented design for new pedagogies in the field."

The book analyses a variety of topics and current issues in linguistics and literary studies, focusing especially on such aspects as memory, identity and cognition.

This book investigates major linguistic transformations in the translation of children’s literature, focusing on the English-language translations of Janusz Korczak, a Polish-Jewish children’s writer known for his innovative pedagogical methods as the head of a Warsaw orphanage for Jewish children in pre-war Poland.

In an age of migration, in a world deeply divided through cultural differences and in the context of ongoing efforts to preserve national and regional traditions and identities, the issues of language and translation are becoming absolutely vital. At the heart of these complex, intercultural interactions are various types of agents, intermediaries and mediators, including translators, writers, artists, policy makers and publishers involved in the preservation or rejuvenation of literary and cultural repertoires, languages and identities. The major themes of this book include language and translation in the context of migration and diasporas, migrant experiences and identities, the translation from and into minority and lesser-used languages, but also, in a broader sense, the international circulation of texts, concepts and people. The volume offers a valuable resource for researchers in the field of translation studies, lecturers teaching translation at the university level and postgraduate students in translation studies. Further, it will benefit researchers in migration studies, linguistics, literary and cultural studies who are interested in learning how translation studies relates to other disciplines.
