Abstract

The introduction of this book establishes the foundational themes that connect the diverse chapters exploring the relationship between translation and the performing arts. It outlines the book’s structure, purpose, and overarching vision, raising critical questions about the nature and implications of translational and performative exchanges in a range of performing arts. By proposing new paradigms and models for understanding these encounters, the book aims to advance current scholarship and redefine how we think about translation in contexts of performance. The volume highlights, for the first time, the transformative intersection between translation and the performing arts, exploring how materiality, media, and embodiment influence these processes. In so doing, it intends to set the stage for a discussion of the nature of translation in our material world and how we engage and interact with it through different modes of performance, positioning the volume as a pioneering exploration of translation beyond text and considering the contribution that the performing arts can bring to contemporary translation theory.
