The 11 essays of this collection consider cases where translated texts serve as expressions of power. The cases include the Maori translation of the treaty of Waitangi in New Zealand; translation of the word democracy in Victorian England; a critical analysis of interpretation studies; translations in Latin America of Kafka, Borges, and Kosztolanyi; and Spanish translations of foreign films under Franco. The contributors teach translation studies, comparative literature, Spanish, classics, and English in New Zealand, Brazil, Spain, China, Canada, the US, and Ireland.
