Bourdieu's work has continued to inspire research on translation in the last few years, though without a detailed, large-scale investigation that tests the viability of his conceptual tools and methodological assumptions. With focus on the Arabic translations of Shakespeare's tragedies in Egypt, this book offers a detailed analysis of the theory of 'fields of cultural production' with the purpose of providing a fresh perspective on the genesis and development of drama translation in Arabic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe different cases of the Arabic translations of \u003ci\u003eHamlet\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eKing Lear\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003e lend themselves to sociological analysis, due to the complex socio-cultural dynamics that conditioned the translation decisions made by translators, theatre directors, actors\/actresses and publishers. In challenging the mainstream history of Shakespeare translation into Arabic, which is mainly premised on the linguistic proximity between source and target texts, this book attempts a 'social history' of the 'Arabic Shakespeare' which takes as its foundational assumption the fact that translation is a socially-situated phenomenon that is only fully appreciated in its socio-cultural milieu. Through a detailed discussion of the production, dissemination and consumption of the Arabic translations of Shakespeare's tragedies, \u003ci\u003eBourdieu in Translation Studies\u003c\/i\u003e marks a significant contribution to both sociology of translation and the cultural history of modern Egypt. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sameh Hanna\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138803626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138803626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 220\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 0.80d","brand":"Sameh Hanna","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087774527743,"sku":"9781138803626","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ec30fa36-3a64-488b-9f21-6e0970c30913.jpg?v=1769101330","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bourdieu-in-translation-studies-sameh-hanna-9781138803626","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
