BORDERS

Special issue from The University of Queensland

Borders: Translating Transcultural Experiences brings together English translations of literary works by authors from a number of languages. We have translated source texts that in themselves explore cross-cultural encounters of both collaboration and conflict that reveal identities that are in-between, or “both”, or beyond, developing and challenging ideas of national and global belonging. These encounters and identities are reflected again in the process of translation itself, through which texts, authors, and translators are shown to struggle, survive, and even flourish.

The translators contributing to this volume form part of the Translation and Interpreting Research Cluster at The University of Queensland, Australia. We live and work in Meanjin (Brisbane), the land of the Jagera and Turrbal people. We acknowledge their sovereignty and the knowledge in their stories.
