Focusing on children's literature, comics, and digital media, this book explores alternative forms of translation, which differ from the more traditional approaches and practices in these fields and from the predominant conceptualizations of translation.

Alternative translation has been selected as an overarching theme for this project as it has the potential to provide an effective framework for examining underexplored translation activities and cultural contexts. We use it to revisit existing areas of translation and to shed more light on newly emerging translation territories. This book offers a combination of European and non-European perspectives and several languages represented, including English, Polish, Japanese, Spanish, and Catalan. The diverse forms of alternative translation examined in this book include digital manga translation, fan translation, scanlation, transcreation, indirect translation, visual translation, and competing (re-)translations. By exploring these areas, this volume shows valuable contrasts and enables new and more nuanced understandings of translation in general. Connecting Japan, Spain, and Poland under the umbrella of alternative translation, it also invites exploration of other semi-peripheral and non-hegemonic sociocultural contexts.
