Thesis Title: The Production and Consumption of Translated Literature in Contemporary Britain

About
My research is concerned with the production and consumption of translated novels in the UK. Drawing from reader-response theory, translation theory and anthropological studies on intercultural communication and the consumption of art, I am trying to analyse what readers make out of the translated novels they read, particularly in the ways that these books have been produced and marketed to them. During my fieldwork, I attended and recorded over 30 book group meetings as well as interviewing readers, translators, editors and booksellers. Primary research with readers was aimed at investigating their responses to translated novels as texts that have undergone the linguistic process of translation, and as stories that have originated in different cultures. I am contextualizing these with cosmopolitanism as a desirable norm in British literary culture today and with resistance to linguistic heterogeneity as a result of the global dominance of English.
