Discourses of Migration in Documentary Film: Translating the Real to the Reel by Alexandra J. Sanchez
English | PDF,EPUB | 2022 | 290 Pages | ISBN : 3031065387 | 13.9 MB
“This book is a carefully developed and methodologically interesting effort to map the intersection of three fields: documentary studies, translation studies, and discourse analysis. For Sanchez, the documentarist is a cultural translator negotiating the difference between the reality of migrants and migration, and the forms of representation that can be most effective in the target culture. Four aspects of translation (contexts, agents, practices, and discourses) guide her study in positive discourse analysis, i.e. the exploration of the fluid and potentially empowering space between the mainstream and dissenting voices.”
