From Coppola's \u003ci\u003eLost in Translation\u003c\/i\u003e to television's \u003ci\u003eHouse M.D.\u003c\/i\u003e, and from live performance to social media, translation is rendered as not only utilitarian, but also performative and communicative. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn examining translation as a captivating theme in film, television, commercials, and online content, this multinational collection engages with the problems and limitations faced by translators, as well as the ethical and philosophical aspects of translation and Translation Studies. Contributors examine the role of the translator (as protagonist, agent, negotiator, and double-agent), translation in global communication, the presentation of visual texts, multilingualism in contemporary media, and the role of foreign languages in advertisements. Translation and translators are shown as inseparable parts of a contemporary life that is increasingly multilingual, multiethnic, multinational and socially diverse.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDror Abend-David\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer at the Department of Languages, Literatures and Cultures at the University of Florida, USA.
