 | Style and Ideology in Translation: Latin American Writing in English Adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this book investigates the style, or 'voice,' of English language translations of twentieth-century Latin American writing, including fiction, political speeches, and film. Existing models of stylistic analysis, supported at times by computer-assisted analysis, are developed to examine a range of works and writers, selected for their literary, cultural, and ideological importance. The style of the different translators is subjected to a close linguistic investigation within their cultural and ideological framework. Jeremy Munday is Senior Lecturer in Spanish Studies at the University of Leeds. He is also author of Introducing Translation Studies: theories and applications and coauthor (with Basil Hatim) of Translation: An advanced resource book. |
