Routledge Translating the Visual: A Multimodal Perspective

Explore the complexities of translating and adapting illustrated texts in a world where visual media shapes our understanding of social and cultural phenomena. This academic work, part of the Routledge Advances in Translation and Interpreting Studies series, examines how visual and textual elements work together as multimodal entities. Through a detailed analysis of source texts such as graphic novels, comics, illustrated books, and animated films, the authors demonstrate how changing a single component impacts the entire work. This book provides a deep look at how meaning is preserved or altered during the adaptation process. To provide a well-rounded perspective, the text includes interviews with professional artists, including writers, illustrators, and animators. This resource is ideal for students and professionals studying translation theory, media studies, or children's literature.
