And yet, relatively little has been written on the translation of comics. Comics in Translation attempts to address this gap in the literature and to offer the first and most comprehensive account of various aspects of a diverse range of social practices subsumed under the label 'comics'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFocusing on the role played by translation in shaping graphic narratives that appear in various formats, different contributors examine various aspects of this popular phenomenon. Topics covered include the impact of globalization and localization processes on the ways in which translated comics are embedded in cultures; the import of editorial and publishing practices; textual strategies adopted in translating comics, including the translation of culture- and language-specific features; and the interplay between visual and verbal messages. Comics in translation examines comics that originate in different cultures, belong to quite different genres, and are aimed at readers of different age groups and cultural backgrounds, from Disney comics to Art Spiegelman's Maus, from Katsuhiro Ōtomo's Akira to Goscinny and Uderzo's Ast駻ix. The contributions are based on first-hand research and exemplify a wide range of approaches. Languages covered include English, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, French, German, Japanese and Inuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe volume features illustrations from the works discussed and an extensive annotated bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors include: Raffaella Baccolini, Nadine Celotti, Adele D'Arcangelo, Catherine Delesse, Elena Di Giovanni, Heike Elisabeth J?gst, Valerio Rota, Carmen Valero-Garc駸, Federico Zanettin and Jehan Zitawi. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Federico Zanettin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1905763077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781905763078\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Federico Zanettin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075125539071,"sku":"9781905763078","price":74.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ea29551c-12b6-4757-a4f1-c02bd4cfd825.jpg?v=1685457748","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/comics-in-translation-federico-zanettin-9781905763078","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
