4.3.2 Research on the translation of political discourse

Jegyzet elhelyezéséhez, kérjük, lépj be.!

After the relevant text-linguistic approaches to political discourse, the current section introduces political discourse oriented translation research. In Translation Studies such discourse is also termed discourse in situations of conflict (Salama-Carr 2007). In my understanding, translation research involving political discourse can be classified into seven distinct research fields as far as research topics are concerned. These seven research fields and their representatives are the following:

1. Translators’ professional roles and politics: Palmer (2007), Dragovic-Drouet (2007), Gagnon (2006), Rafael (2012), Fusari (2013);

Below, these research areas will be introduced, and their main findings will be summarised to show that Translation Studies does not yet have a commonly accepted and systematic analytical tool for the examination of political texts. Depending on the nature of the research in question and on the theme of politics involved, diverse researchers apply a very wide range of analytical tools, which makes the advances of translation research on politics very difficult to compare and systematise.

Even if the focus of the current undertaking is a critical one, it is assumed that other Translation Studies approaches to power and ideology than critical discourse based approaches should be briefly introduced in this book. The reason for this is that this discussion will demonstrate how varied and how diverse these approaches are and how difficult it is to compare their findings. All this points towards the realisation that the analytical tools Translation Studies currently offers in terms of the study of political discourse are rather ad hoc and the available research findings are thus incomparable.
