This comprehensive volume delves into a critical examination of quality within the interpreting profession, exploring the intricate interplay between professional norms and ethical considerations across diverse sociocultural contexts. Over the past two decades, the field has prompted scholars and practitioners to consider a multitude of factors related to the provision and fulfillment of interpreting services. Building upon the ideas that emerged during an international conference on interpreter-mediated interactions, commemorating Miriam Shlesinger, held in Rome in 2013, the book delves into these issues by examining the concept of quality through interpreters' self-awareness of norms in various professional settings, contextualizing norms and quality in relation to ethical behavior in everyday practice. Contributions from esteemed researchers in the field paint a comprehensive picture of the evolving role of the interpreter, revisiting key topics with fresh insights from established scholars, fostering lively discussion and further reflection on critical issues within the realm of interpreting. This volume serves as a vital resource for scholars, researchers, and graduate students in interpreting and translation studies, pragmatics, discourse analysis, and multilingualism.
