The differing expectations of translations and translators as well as Western dominance in transnational communication are convincingly brought out.

It discusses practices such as translating, interpreting, and excerpting from journals and books that spawned and supported transnational civic spaces and develops a theoretical framework to analyse these practices. It examines translations of literary, scholarly and political texts and their contexts. The book will be of interest to academics as well as undergraduate and postgraduate students in the fields of modern history, women's and gender history, cultural studies, transnational and transfer history, translation studies, history and theory of biography.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohanna Gehmacher \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Modern and Gender History at the University of Vienna, Austria.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45273808011415,"sku":"9783031427657","price":2938.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9783031427657.webp?v=1769237678","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/feminist-activism-travel-and-translation-around-1900-transnational-practices-of-mediation-and-the-case-of-kathe-schirmacher-9783031427657","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
