Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Postcolonial translation theory, emerging from cultural anthropology in the late 20th century, examines how translation has historically functioned as a tool of empire. It critiques the power dynamics involved in translation processes, highlighting how they can perpetuate colonial ideologies and influence cultural exchanges. The theory invites a reevaluation of translation practices, encouraging a focus on the implications of language and representation in a postcolonial context.
