Translation und Marginalisierung: Intersektionale Perspektiven auf Übersetzungskulturen der Frühen Neuzeit

Translations reflect and affirm the norms of the target culture’s mainstream society and its power holders; the concerns of minorities, however, go largely unheeded. This interdisciplinary open-access volume illuminates the often-overlooked relationship between translation and marginalization while focusing on persons, characters, and groups that are underprivileged in two or more ways. Its fifteen chapters introduce intersectional perspectives on Early Modern translation cultures and shed light on hierarchizing processes in theory, practice, and research. The objects of study range from Early Modern translations of classical epic and medieval crusade literature and accounts of travel in Brazil and Senegal dating from the same period to Romanian children’s and juvenile literature and so-called gipsy music. Gender-specific, heteronormative, and colonial discrimination practices prove to intertwine and mutually amplify one another.
