“We live in a world ruled by fictions of every kind - mass merchandising, advertising, politics conducted as a branch of advertising, the instant translation of science and technology into popular imagery, the increasing blurring and intermingling of identities within the realm of consumer goods, the preempting of any free or original imaginative response to experience by the television screen. We live inside an enormous novel.” WorldKindFictionTechnologyMassAdvertisingInstantBranchesTranslationsImageryScience And TechnologyMerchandising Author:J. G. Ballard

“We translated the script together with them. And during the process of translation, they rewrote the scripts. They put a lot into it. They made it their own. There are names of plants or chants or certain rites and everything that you cannot come across it in a movie. You know, you cannot learn about them casually. So the film doesn't have value in the ethnographical, anthropological. It's fiction.” KnowsMadeTogetherFilmCertainValuesNamesProcessFictionPlantScriptsMade ItTranslationsRite Author:Ciro Guerra
“There is a insularity within American fiction even for adults. It's very tough for books in translation in the US.” BookFictionAdultsToughTranslationsInsularity Author:Laila Lalami
