Translation produces meaningful versions of textual information. But what is a text? What is translation? What is meaning? And what is a translational version? This book responds to those and other eternal translation-theoretical questions from a semiotic point of view.Dinda L. Gorlee notes that in this world of interpretation and translation, surrounded by our semio-translational universe perfused with signs, we can intuit whether or not an object in front of us (dis)qualifies as a text. This spontaneous understanding requires no formalized definition in order to happen in the receivers of text-signs. The author further observes that translated signs are not only intelligible for target audiences, but also work together as a theatre of consciousness or a theatre of controversy which the author views as powered by Charles S. Peirce's three categories of Firstness, Secondness, and Thirdness."
