Translation and conflict, by: Mona Baker

The book presents through its seven chapters an introduction to narrative theory, typology of narration, understanding how narratology works, then framing narratologies in translation, and in the seventh and final chapter, it reaches an evaluation of narratologies or the narrative model. In this book, which reveals many mechanisms of colonial and post-colonial dominance in the field of translation, Imani Baker attempts to expand the scope of postcolonial theory in translation studies to encompass and utilize both the achievements of narratological studies, especially in their cognitive, sociological, and anthropological contexts, as can be found in the works of Mckintair, Fischer, Bronner, and others, and the achievements of what is now known as framing studies based on the works of Erving Goffman, which are notably employed in studies of political discourse and election campaigns, especially in media and communication studies. 397 pages
