Translating Evidence and Interpreting Testimony at a War Crimes Tribunal
10.1057/9781137332677 - Translating Evidence and Interpreting Testimony at a War Crimes Tribunal, Ellen Elias-Bursać
Languages play a crucial role in war, conflict and peacemaking: in intelligence gathering and evaluation, pre-deployment preparations, operations on the ground, regime-change, and supporting refugees and displaced persons. In the politics of war, languages have a dual impact: a public policy dimension, setting frameworks and expectations; and the lived experience of those ‘on the ground’, working with and meeting speakers of other languages. This series intends to bring together books which deal with the role of languages in situations of conflict, including war, civil war, occupation, peace-keeping, peaceenforcement and humanitarian action in war zones. It will offer an interdisciplinary approach, drawing on applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, translation studies, intercultural communication, history, politics, international relations and cultural studies. Books in the series will explore specific conflict situations across a range of times and places, and specific language-related roles and activities, examining three contexts: languages and the military, meeting the other in war and peace-making, and interpreting/translating in war. Titles include: LANGUAGES AT WAR: Policies and Practices of Language Contacts in Conflict (edited by Hilary Footitt and Michael Kelly) LANGUAGES AND THE MILITARY: Alliances, Occupation and Peace Building (edited by Hilary Footitt and Michael Kelly) INTERPRETING THE PEACE: Peace Operation, Conflict and Language in Bosnia-Herzegovina (Michael Kelly and Catherine Baker) ‘WARTALK’: Foreign Languages and the British War Effort in Europe 1940–46 (Hilary Footitt and Simona Tobia) THE CREATION OF ISRAELI ARABIC: Political and Security Considerations in the Making of Arabic Language Studies in Israel (Yonatan Mendel) REGIONAL LANGUAGE POLICIES IN FRANCE DURING WWII (Amit Aviv) MEETNG THE LANGUAGE CHALLENGES OF NATO OPERATIONS: Policy, Practice and Professionalization (Ian P.
