Cultural communities are shaped and produced by ongoing processes of
translation understood as aesthetic media practices--such is the premise
of this volume. Taking on perspectives from cultural, literary, and
media studies as well as postcolonial theory, the chapters shed light on
composite cultural and heterotypical translation processes across
various media, such as texts, films, graphic novels, theater, and dance
performances. Thus, the authors explore the cultural contexts of diverse
media milieus in order to explain how cultural communities come into
being.
