Aprašymas

This book foregrounds the role of translated texts in the study of the assemblages of semiotics resources in museums, important cultural institutions which encompass such sites as exhibition spaces, galleries, heritage sites, castles, and memorials.

The book is organised in order of units of space, moving from smaller spaces to larger ones, with each chapter focused on an "act" enacted by the space, performed by the semiotic systems at work in these spaces and their visitors as social agents looking, feeling, moving, and living in them. In examining how translated texts interact with objects, spatial layout, surroundings, and visitors in the museum settings, the volume offers a way forward for better understanding the theoretical foundations of museum translation and the analytical tools available for examining textual data gathered from these spaces.

This book will be of interest to scholars in translation studies, tourism studies, heritage studies, and cultural studies.
