Opis

This volume is a study of censorship and its patterns of operation across a range of disciplinary settings, from media to cultural and literary studies, engaging with often neglected genres and media such as radio, cinema and theatre. It analyzes the multi-faceted relationship between censorship and translation in different national contexts, including Italy, Spain, Great Britain, Greece, Nazi Germany and the GDR, focusing on the political, ideological and aesthetic implications of censorship, as well as on the hermeneutic play fostered by any translational act. Modes of Censorship and Translation adopts an interdisciplinary transnational approach and presents readers with contributions based on primary research which often draws on unpublished archival material.
