This groundbreaking work stands as the inaugural comprehensive publication dedicated to critically exploring the burgeoning domain of research on the queer dimensions of translation and interpreting studies. The volume showcases a diverse range of theoretical and disciplinary viewpoints through fifteen insightful contributions from both established and emerging scholars in the field, effectively illustrating the interconnectedness between translation and the queer aspects of sex, gender, and identity. The book commences with an introductory chapter by the editors, providing a comprehensive overview of both the current and emerging research trajectories within this field. This foundation is then built upon to delve deeper into the study, organized into three distinct sections: Queer Theorizing of Translation, Case Studies of Queer Translations and Translators, and Queer Activism and Translation. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach, this volume aims to not only shed light on this promising area of research but also foster cross-fertilization between these disciplines, thereby advancing our understanding of the intersections between queer studies and translation studies. As such, this volume serves as an essential resource for students and scholars engaged in translation studies, queer studies, politics, activism, and gender and sexuality studies.
