“Translating Human Inner Life In and Between the Arts: A Semiotic Approach to the Emotions and the Process of Translation (2025)” by Malgorzata Gamrat (Ed.) | Book

Synopsis: “The book examines how so-called human inner life – feelings, emotions, sentiments and self-reflection – permeates different forms of art.

The methodological perspective is multidimensional covering translation studies and semiotics studies, including semiotics of passion, semiotics of culture, existential semiotics and biosemiotics, as well as different arts’ fields – music, literature, film, visual arts, multimedia and video games. The book combines these approaches and tools for each field in order to create a new approach that permits an examination of the process of translation in various arts connected to human inner life. In this way, the reader can see the complexity of human inner life from an interdisciplinary perspective.”

 

We highlight that this book contains a collaboration from Passeio’s co-coordinator, Helena Pires, with the chapter “Plagiarism as a Form of Intersemiotic Translation: The New Forms of Implicit (Un)Boundaries in the Visual Contemporary Arts” (pp. 231-260), written alongside Rui Sousa-Silva (University of Porto).

 

The book is available, in English, at Bloomsbury.
