“…Although interpreting as mediation does not involve the management of conflicts, it does involve that of mutual understanding. Secondly, both conflict mediators (Bush & Folger, 1994;Mayer, 2004;Winslade & Monk, 2008) and interpreters (Angelelli, 2004(Angelelli, , 2006Inghilleri, 2005) are considered active agents in managing communication. Thirdly, neither conflict mediators nor interpreters must side, either explicitly or implicitly, with either party.…”

“…Some analyses explain interpreters' production of utterances and modification of narratives as conditioned by organized sequences of different turns of speech (Bolden, 2000;Gavioli, 2015b;Van de Mieroop et al, 2012). Other analyses see interpreters' production of utterances and modification of narratives as conditioned by societal conditions, in particular the dynamics of institutional power and cultural supremacy (Baker, 2006;Inghilleri, 2005;Mason & Ren, 2012).…”

“…It is important to stress that transformation "from below" means transformation through the interpreter-mediated interaction rather than through the interpreter's actions. We may see the transformative process in social systems as an effect of interpreters' agency (Inghilleri, 2005) or power (Mason & Ren, 2012), and see empowerment as a form of interpreter's advocacy for weaker parties. However, the transformative process depends on mediation as a communication system, rather than on interpreters' agency or power.…”

“…. Since then, the importance of the social dimension of PSI has come to researchers' attention, in terms of conversational organization (Gavioli, 2015a(Gavioli, , 2015b, power relations (Inghilleri, 2005;Mason & Ren, 2012), and/or mediation between languages and cultures (Baraldi & Gavioli, 2012;Penn & Watermeyer, 2012;Pöchhacker, 2008). Two approaches have been particularly influential in theorizing the social dimension of interpreting: (a) interpreting as transformation of narratives (Baker, 2006) and (b) interpreting as coordination of social interaction (Wadensjö, 1998).…”

Language mediation is employed as a possible solution for problems of migrants' inclusion in institutional services, within multilingual and multicultural societies. Interpreting Studies has highlighted that language mediation is coordination of social interactions and social construction of narratives. This paper explains language mediation using Luhmann's theory of communication systems, in particular the concepts of self‐reference, reflexivity, function, structure, and structural coupling. Language mediation is observed as a self‐referential communication system fulfilling the function of promoting participation and new narratives through reflexive coordination. In particular, the concept of structural coupling explains how language mediation can enhance change within other communication systems, promoting dialogue across difference. Language mediation, however, can also assume a hierarchical structure, which creates marginalization and ethnocentrism.

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities was ratified in Norway, June 2013. Nordic countries are generally associated with the promotion of human rights as well as disability rights. The Rule of Law Index from the World Justice Project ranks the Nordic countries among the top nations when it comes to high standards of justice (both civil and criminal justice) and rule of law. However, there are also well-known examples of grave miscarriages of justice in cases where disabled people have been involved. These cases address issues of access to justice and questions barriers to effective communication in criminal justice. Taking the situation of deaf people in Norway as a case, this study asks what barriers deaf people face when reporting a crime, being accused of a crime or being a witness in court. The methodological approach is semi-structured, open-ended interviews with deaf persons, professional sign language interpreters, judges, prosecutors, police officers and lawyers. All the informants have personal experiences from encounters between deaf people and the criminal justice system. This paper discusses this situation in terms of language and communication problems, access to justice, non-discrimination and equal recognition before the law.
