Translation: Narration, Media and the Staging of Differences

As recent years have revealed, the concept of »translation&« has grown increasingly important in a globalizing world and a multi-media society. Seeing translation as the negotiation of differences in identity construction does not only contribute to the understanding of contemporary cultural processes - it also makes it possible to find orientation and critical insights in a world of constantly changing social, political and media spaces.
This collection of essays discusses the »translational turn&«, proposing new theoretical approaches and providing new insights into the relation between narration and identity construction, between translation processes and the media.
