Description
This unique interdisciplinary collective project brings together research and translation work by students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, reflecting Egypt's ongoing revolution. The contributors have translated a range of documents, including chants, poems, interviews, and presidential speeches, to shed light on the complexities of this historic event.
The translations are informed by the latest developments in translation studies, focusing on issues such as fidelity, equivalence, creative transformation, and target readership. This project offers a nuanced understanding of the relationship between translation and semiotics, providing valuable insights into Egypt's unfolding politics.
