Affect Theory and Translation on YouTube

Explores translation as a means of self-expression and social networking in transnational settings on YouTube.
The main aim of this book is to contribute to theorising audiovisual translation in today's digital media culture as a means of self-expression and community building. An increasing number of people are participating in producing, consuming and disseminating media content among like-minded others in pursuit of their individual interests and agendas, as part of the so-called phenomenon of 'self-mediation'. In today's networked society, such self-mediation may contribute to boosting the digital diaspora, facilitating the exploration and negotiation of shared interests among individuals from different lingua-cultural backgrounds, and enabling the formation of communities of affinity. This book is the first monograph that explores translation on YouTube as part of the self-mediation phenomenon. By drawing on key concepts in affect theory, this book examines how audiovisual translation contributes to shaping today's participatory digital media culture.
