We invite chapter submissions for inclusion in an edited volume on Transfiction and Translation Studies.

The edited volume will explore how fiction can be used as a source to approach translation theory and issues related to Translation Studies. Topics may include:

•           How fictional views of translators/translation provide an opportunity to explore preconceived notions of translation

•           The role/task of the translator as it relates to culture and society

•           Power struggles between authors/editors/publishers and translators

•           Ethical issues (such as fidelity/infidelity, visibility/invisibility, translator intervention)

 •          Translator’s gender

We are looking for essays that will be between 5,000 and 8,000 words in length (including notes and bibliography). The deadline for chapters is October 1st, 2022.
