Interpreting in Armed Conflict: Lessons from the field
Interpreting in armed conflict offers a comprehensive analysis of interpreting across diverse conflict settings, including humanitarian missions, military operations, war journalism, human rights missions, and international fact-finding missions.
Adopting a cross-contextual perspective, the book examines key dimensions such as communicative constraints, interpreters' positionality and agency, trust and distrust, intercultural communication, training, ethical challenges, and the emotional and psychological impact of working in these settings.
The volume brings together empirical research, practitioner experience, and insights from a wide range of sources, including testimonies, memoirs, institutional guidelines, and fictional representations.
Combining academic rigour with narrative depth, it offers a holistic account of interpreting in armed conflict and serves as a key reference for scholars, practitioners, and organisations engaged in multilingual communication in conflict settings.
