SUMMARY:Esmaeil Kalantari (U. de Montréal) : A multidisciplinary approach 
 to the study of translation in political journalism
DESCRIPTION:A multidisciplinary approach to the study of translation in pol
 itical journalism
 Translation is often an integral part of journalism\, 
 as an institutional and socio-political activity. This implies that the st
 udy of political journalistic translations cannot be isolated from the stu
 dy of the institutional and socio-political factors that may influence new
 s production processes. The aim of this paper is to propose a method of te
 xtual analysis for describing political journalistic translations in terms
  of their relationships with dominant political norms and ideologies in th
 e target society. This relationship means that\, depending on the ideologi
 cal independence of news institutions\, dominant political norms and ideol
 ogies may influence the production of political journalistic translations.
  Also\, political journalistic translations can contribute to or challenge
  the social legitimacy of dominant political norms and ideologies.
To exam
 ine this relationship at an empirical level\, we use the model of politica
 l discourse analysis (Chilton and Schäffner 2011) and the method of analy
 zing translation shifts (Gagnon 2009\; Chesterman 1997). Political discour
 se analysis (PDA) is an appropriate analytical tool for reconstructing pol
 itical norms and ideologies from discourses of leading politicians. PDA al
 so enables analyzing source and target news discourses to investigate whet
 her and how they contribute to a social ‘legitimization’ or ‘delegit
 imization’ of specific political norms and ideologies. The relevance of 
 the method of translation shifts analysis is that it allows for a translat
 ion-oriented description of how particular strategic functions of source a
 nd target news discourses (e.g. legitimization) are enacted by means of sp
 ecific linguistic elements.
The corpus\, in this research\, consists of 12
 6 Persian political news pieces released by ISNA (an Iranian news agency) 
 and their English translations by BBC. The method of textual analysis\, pr
 oposed in this study\, allows us to describe the impact of our sample poli
 tical journalistic translations on the social legitimacy of dominant polit
 ical norms and ideologies. It also allows us to hypothesize whether specif
 ic political norms and ideologies have been influential in the process of 
 producing the political journalistic translations.
