News production and intercultural communication at the crossroads of disciplines

Abstract

Over the past two decades, the interest in journalistic translation and, more specifically, news translation has produced an important bulk of publications. Although most of this research has originated within translation studies, scholars have conducted interdisciplinary studies drawing on concepts and theoretical frameworks from neighbouring disciplines such as sociology, communication and journalism, discourse analysis and images studies. The interdisciplinary nature of most of this research has highlighted the importance of academic dialogue across disciplines, as exemplified by the work of scholars who have brought to the fore the crucial role played by translation in news production, including those that have contributed to this special issue.En las últimas décadas el estudio de la traducción periodística ha generado un gran número de publicaciones. Si bien la mayor parte de ellas han surgido dentro de la disciplina de los Estudios de Traducción, sus autores han llevado a cabo estudios desde un enfoque interdisciplinar a partir de conceptos procedentes de la sociología, los estudios de comunicación y de periodismo, el análisis de discurso y la imagología. La naturaleza interdisciplinar de estos estudios señala la importancia de establecer un diálogo académico, como lo demuestran los autores que han estudiado el papel de la traducción en la producción de noticias, incluyendo los artículos de este número especial.

Inter-Cultural Communication: Sipakatau-Sipakalebbi Among Bugis-Kaili Couples in Palu

“…The number of informants, as recommended by John W. Creswell (Creswell, 2014), is the exploration of groups of individuals who have experienced the phenomenon. Individuals identified who may vary in size from three to four to ten to fifteen individuals who became key informants for this study as scholars have suggested (Creswell, 2015;Creswell & Clark, 2018;Croucher et al, 2015;Soliz & Phillips, 2018;Valdeón, 2021).…”

“…As a result, for the sake of this research, we are looking for an ontological account of the "different cultures," specifically the Bugis and Kaili of Sulawesi, Indonesia. Recently, analysis and debate regarding distinctions between cultures have also been extended by numerous academics in other areas (Guillem & Toula, 2018;Hua, Jones, & Jaworska, 2022;Manning & Denker, 2021;R'boul, 2022;Valdeón, 2021).…”

From “Within” to “Beyond” in interpreting studies

“…That is, after knowing the internal dimensions and aspects that are important to interpreting performance, process, and training, interpreted texts might exhibit certain common or universalist features, and the fact that interpreting is often not ideologically neutral, etc., a natural and obvious question to ask is where do we go from here? This is indeed a valid question because interpreting as a special type of translation is by definition about the facilitation of communication between different languages/varieties and cultures and in different socio-political contexts and settings over certain historical periods (House 2016;Valdeón 2021). In other words, interpreting is ultimately a vital instrument and an important means to an end, rather than an end in itself.…”
