Ali Jalalian Daghigh and Pei Soo Ang’s book provides new insights into the relationships between translation, journalism, ideology, and power via a humanising approach. Carving out a niche within Journalistic Translation Studies, the book introduces and expands on Critical Journalistic Translation Studies (CJTS). The authors critically evaluate the state of the art while advocating for humanising research by focusing on the experiences of both translators and readers.

Using the Chinese journalistic translation landscape as a case study, the book investigates the socio-political and socio-cognitive dimensions of journalistic translation. Through applications of sociological, cognitive, and critical discourse approaches, it sheds light on the working conditions of news translators, their cognitive and emotional experiences, the influence of power and ideology on the translation process, the effects of ideological manipulation on translated news texts, and the subsequent impact of such news on audience perceptions and emotions.

By opening fresh methodological pathways, not only does this book illuminate the Chinese journalistic translation landscape, but it also opens new avenues in CJTS. This book is an indispensable resource for academics, postgraduate students, and researchers in Translation Studies, Media Studies, and Journalism Studies, offering a transformative focus on humanising CJTS.

This book demonstrates how the visual elements within news images of disability orchestrate and evoke social meanings about disability and disabled persons. It creates a Visual Discourses of Disability (ViDD) framework to delineate what and how the visualization of disability communicates ideas and attitudes, and how elements in an image are configured to frame the perspective of disability.These configurations can be placed on a continuum, from perspectivizing to personizing. In addition, the cumulative attitudinal meanings in a news image can be placed on another continuum from enabling to disabling. Both can be combined as opposing axes to demonstrate the social implications of empowering, advocating, handicapping and othering. Combining critical discourse and social semiotic approaches in analyzing news images, situated in the field of critical disability studies (CDS), this book shows how the framework can be used to address concerns of media stereotyping and social issues of discrimination and prejudices against people with disability through visual depictions.This volume will be relevant for readers in the areas of visual communication, social semiotics, critical discourse studies, communication, (photo)journalism, sociology, anthropology, media studies and (critical) disability studies. Specifically, it would benefit media practitioners, educators, organizations and relevant authorities as the proposed framework can serve as a tool in making informed choices in capturing, selecting and publishing images of disability.
