Klappentext zu „Science Fiction in Translation “
Science Fiction in Translation: Perspectives on the Global Theory and Practice of Translation focuses on the process of translation and its implications. The volume explores the translation of works of science fiction (SF) from one language to another and the translation of SF tropes, terms, and ideas of SF theory into cultures outside the West. Providing a comprehensive examination of the state of translation into English, the essays consider how representative the body of translated work of SF is from the source language/culture. It also considers the social, political, and economic choices in selecting a work to translate. The book illustrates the dramatic growth both in SF production outside the Anglosphere, the translation of works from other languages into English, and the practice of translating English-language SF into other languages. Altogether, the essays map the theory, practice, and business of SF translation around the world.Inhaltsverzeichnis zu „Science Fiction in Translation “

Pressezitat
"Campbell's volume is an indispensable collection of new voices and media spanning from at least the 1830s to the close of the 2010s, which ... provides a tangible, though far reaching, web from which to choose a new vision for SF. ... In a world where the lenses of SF and conscious reality seem to blur more and more, Campbell's volume and the authors included are a beacon of hope." (Alice G. Fulmer, SFRA Review, Vol. 53 (4), 2023)
