Fighting for the 3%: diversity, advocacy and translation in contemporary British children's publishing, from 2005 to the present day

在21世纪的英国，儿童翻译是一种濒危物种。据估计，该协会在面向儿童出版的图书中占3%，它的存在部分要归功于译者和倡导者的努力，现在正被纳入更广泛的活动，以促进儿童文学创作者和内容的多样性。通过绘制这一未被充分研究的领域，该项目试图超越关于文化交流的老生常谈。它将批判性地调查不稳定性、倡导、多样性和儿童翻译之间的关系，并提出这样的问题：这种情况下会产生什么样的书籍？谁在被翻译，如何被翻译？

In 21st century Britain, translation for children is an endangered species. Representing anestimated 3% of books published for children, it survives in part thanks to the energy oftranslators and advocates, and is now being integrated into wider campaigns for diversity ofcreators and content in children's literature. By mapping this understudied field, this projectseeks to look beyond truisms about cultural exchange. It will critically investigate therelationships between precarity, advocacy, diversity and translation for children, asking: whatkind of books do these circumstances produce? Who is being translated, and how?
