Reviews

Critically surveys the literature in translation and interpreting studies related to emergencies and crisis communication, pointing to gaps related to key issues ... . Mediating Emergencies and Conflicts can provide useful insights to disaster management studies with regard to the need for adequate language mediation in emergency situations. The field work and analysis presented in the various chapters also paves the way for further testing and challenging of current translation and interpreting training and research models. (Myriam Salama-Carr, Translation Studies, Vol. 11 (2), 2018)
