Description

Explore the complex relationship between language and cinema in Indigenous Cultural Translation: A Thick Description of Seediq Bale. Part of the Routledge Advances in Translation and Interpreting Studies series, this book examines the linguistic process behind the 2011 Taiwanese film Seediq Bale. The narrative follows the journey of translating a Mandarin-language screenplay into Seediq, an endangered indigenous language spoken in central Taiwan. While the film itself depicts the history of headhunters who rebelled against or collaborated with Japanese colonizers at Musha starting in 1930, this scholarly work focuses on the descendants who brought the story to life through translation nearly eighty years later. This text provides a thick description of the translation process, making it a valuable resource for those interested in film production, linguistics, and indigenous studies. It offers a unique look at how cultural heritage is preserved and communicated through the medium of cinema and the act of translating endangered languages.
