Esperan\u00e7a Bielsa\u2019s interdisciplinary work draws upon sociology, critical theory and translation studies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her current research seeks to rethink the role of culture in the deep and interconnected crises of the present. This is the subject of a book project entitled Culture and Waste<\/em>, in preparation. Representative publications on this topic are the essays ‘The Catastrophe of Culture: Art, Critique and Social Transformation’, published in European Journal of Social Theor<\/em>y and ‘Ignored Works’, published in Thesis Eleven<\/em>. A parallel project seeks to reformulate the sociology of knowledge from a perspective that puts translation at the centre, with a particular focus on academic translation and knowledge translation. Representative publications are ‘Translating ‘Understanding’\/ Understanding Translation: A Reflexive Approach\u2019 and \u2018Translation and the climate emergency: A new sociological imagination\u2019, both published in\u00a0The Sociological Review<\/em>,\u00a0as well as ‘The Language of Animals: Towards a Translational Sociology of Human-Animal Relations’, published in Dialogues in Sociology<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Recent research has dealt with the cultural and political dimensions of translation as a social relationship across linguistic difference, and the theoretical and methodological implications of a translational approach for sociology. Such research reexamines sociological knowledge through a focus on linguistic multiplicity and translation, as ordinary and ubiquitous social practices in a deeply interconnected world. This is the subject of her most recent books, Benjamin y la traducci\u00f3n<\/em> (2024) and A Translational Sociology<\/em> (2023), as well as of a research project entitled \u2018Political Translation\u2019 (2020-2024), which examined translation practices in the semi-periphery of the international academic field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Older research explored the significance of translation for an understanding of contemporary cosmopolitanism and its role in the context of globalization in general and the globalization of news in particular, and the Latin American urban cr\u00f3nica<\/em> as a hybrid genre of the contact zone between popular and legitimate culture. Representative publications are the books Cosmopolitanism and Translation<\/em> (2016), Translation in Global News<\/em> (2009, with S. Bassnett) and The Latin American Urban Cr\u00f3nica<\/em> (2006).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Esperan\u00e7a Bielsa is interested in supervising research students in the fields of cultural sociology, translation and social theory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Esperan\u00e7a Bielsa\u2019s interdisciplinary work draws upon sociology, critical theory and translation studies.
