Ethics and the Translation of Trauma, Gender-Based Violence and Emotions
摘要
This chapter sets the scene for my research on translating trauma and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) material. It presents key terms and theories needed to understand the ethical demands of translating AV testimonies. These key terms and theories are: GBV, trauma, vicarious traumatisation, ethics in TIS, trauma translation and translating emotions in order to identify gaps in research on translating emotional content. It also considers ethical stress and the need for codes of ethics and guidelines creation in AV translation. Finally, the chapter considers positionality and recognition, two crucial aspects for AV translators and researchers so as to fully address the ethical pressures of working with vulnerable individuals and understanding one’s own vulnerability.
