A selection of essays concentrating on intercultural communication in its broadest sense, with themes varying from dissident translation under the Marcos dictatorship in the Philippines, to translation as a process of power in the Third World, and the role of the cognitive sciences in translation theory. Also covered are topics such as media interpreting, news translation, advertising, subtitling, and the ethics of translation. The volume closes with the EST Focus debate on thorny issues of methodology, policy and training.
