{"product_id":"bourdieu-in-translation-studies","title":"Bourdieu in Translation Studies","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores the implications of Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology of cultural production for the study of translation as a socio-cultural activity. Bourdieu’s work has continued to inspire research on translation in the last few years, though without a detailed, large-scale investigation that tests the viability of his conceptual tools and methodological assumptions. With focus on the Arabic translations of Shakespeare’s tragedies in Egypt, this book offers a detailed analysis of the theory of ‘fields of cultural production’ with the purpose of providing a fresh perspective on the genesis and development of drama translation in Arabic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe different cases of the Arabic translations of \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e lend themselves to sociological analysis, due to the complex socio-cultural dynamics that conditioned the translation decisions made by translators, theatre directors, actors\/actresses and publishers. In challenging the mainstream history of Shakespeare translation into Arabic, which is mainly premised on the linguistic proximity between source and target texts, this book attempts a ‘social history’ of the ‘Arabic Shakespeare’ which takes as its foundational assumption the fact that translation is a socially-situated phenomenon that is only fully appreciated in its socio-cultural milieu. Through a detailed discussion of the production, dissemination and consumption of the Arabic translations of Shakespeare’s tragedies, \u003ci\u003eBourdieu in Translation Studies\u003c\/i\u003e marks a significant contribution to both sociology of translation and the cultural history of modern Egypt. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54247299645784,"sku":"9781138499140","price":65.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781138499140_c9b4d125-b33b-477a-8032-53993e87f8b1.jpg?v=1769633135","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/bourdieu-in-translation-studies","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
