{"product_id":"theatre-translation-massimiliano-morini-9781350195622","title":"Theatre Translation: Theory and Practice","description":"Translation for the theatre is often considered to hold a marginal status between literary translation and adaptation for the stage. As a result, this book argues that studies of this complex activity tend to take either a textual or performative approach. After exploring the history of translation theory through these lenses, Massimiliano Morini proposes a more totalizing view of 'theatre translation' as the sum of operations required to transform one theatre act into another, and analyses three complex Western case histories in light of this all-encompassing definition.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Combining theory with practice, Morini investigates how traditional ideas on translation - from Plautus and Cicero to the early 20th century - have been applied in the theatrical domain. He then compares and contrasts the inherently textual viewpoint of post-humanistic translators with the more performative approaches of contemporary theatrical practitioners, and chronicles the rise of performative views in the third millennium. Positioning itself at the intersection of past and present, as well as translation studies and theatre semiotics, \u003ci\u003eTheatre Translation\u003c\/i\u003e provides a full diachronic survey of an age-old activity and a burgeoning academic field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Massimiliano Morini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350195626\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350195622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.94lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Massimiliano Morini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944853635327,"sku":"9781350195622","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_c5ec85b9-e482-4846-92be-3a9fa23fdd3c.jpg?v=1681505402","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/theatre-translation-massimiliano-morini-9781350195622","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
