A Translational Sociology by Esperana Bielsa
This book brings attention to aspects of translation that have remained more elusive to sociological interpretation and analysis, investigating translations ubiquitous presence in the everyday lives of ordinary people in increasingly multilingual societies and its key intervention in mediating politics within and beyond the nation.'Sociologists! Read this book! It is a major contribution to sociological theorising, and rams home the point that you ignore translation matters at your peril
Translation Studies scholars! Read this book! Bielsa pushes the ‘sociological turn’ in Translation Studies further, deeper, and better than anyone else has yet managed.
Everyone else! Read this book! It is a brilliantly incisive intervention into many of the pressing and inter-related cultural, linguistic, and political matters of our time.'
David Inglis, University of Helsinki, Finland
'This book makes a significant contribution to the sociology of translation. It shows how translation is interwoven into the very fabric of social life and is central to many major questions in modern social and political thought.'
Gerard Delanty, Sussex University, UK
