"Belfast, Beirut and Berlin are notorious for their internal boundaries and borders. As symbols for political disunion, the three cities have inspired scriptwriters and directors from diverse cultural backgrounds. Despite their different histories, they share a wide range of features central to divided cities. In each city, particular territories take on specific symbolic and psychological meanings. Following a comparative approach, this book concentrates on the cinematographic representations of Belfast, Beirut and Berlin. Filmmakers are in constant search for new ways in order to engage with urban division. Making use of a variety of genres reaching from thriller to comedy, they explore the three cities' internal and external borders, as well as the psychological boundaries existing between citizens belonging to different communities. Among the characters featuring in films set in Belfast, Berlin and Beirut we may count dangerous gunmen, prisoners' wives, soldiers and snipers, but also comic Stasi-members, punk aficionados and fake nuns. The various characters contribute to the creation of a multifaceted image of city limits in troubled times."--

In the field of Translation Studies no book-length work in English has yet been dedicated to the translation and circulation of migration literature. The authors of this volume seek to contribute to filling this gap through a detailed study of texts belonging to a variety of literary genres and engaging with the phenomenon of migration in different parts of the world. Not only will the challenges met by translators be discussed, but the different ways in which the translated texts travel from one cultural sphere to another will also be explored. The focus lies on the themes 'migration and politics', 'migration and society', as well as 'the experience of migration in words, music and images'.

Dans un monde en communication permanente, la traduction relève de la vie quotidienne d'un grand nombre de personnes. Si notre manière de penser se lit au travers de notre usage d'une langue, cette dernière influence notre mode de raisonnement. Passer d'une langue à une autre revient alors à passer d'une culture à une autre. Les protagonistes de cet ouvrage, linguistes, traducteurs, interprètes, sociologues, anthropologues et philosophes s'interrogent sur les multiples facettes de l'art de traduire : "Que reste-t-il de la valeur d'un texte ou d'une pensée d'origine après le processus de traduction ? Quelle influence le traducteur exerce-t-il sur l'accueil d'une oeuvre hors de son contexte local et de sa langue source ? Quelle est l'identité culturelle ou rationnelle de ce qu'on pourrait qualifier d'auteur ? Quel est le rôle du traducteur lorsqu'il est un passeur entre langues et cultures ?" Leur dialogue, débuté ici, annonce quantité de sujets et débats futurs.
