Description:
The first multi-focus, in-depth study on translating queer and queering translation, this book applies queer thought to translation, exploring the issues raised by the bringing of queer strategies to bear on the translation of texts and shedding light on the manner in which heteronormative society influences the selection, reading and translation of texts. Queer in Translation considers the ways in which queerness might be repressed, ignored or made invisible in translation and investigates what is culturally at stake when particular texts are translated from one culture to another, raising the question of the relationship between translation and globalization.
