In this article, we discuss the main challenges in finding and extracting translation data from national library catalogues and the literary press and propose solutions for researchers to access and analyze bibliographic data for translations. To illustrate these issues, we present two case studies: the first being dedicated to translation invisibility in the literary press, i.e., specialized and general literary journals and magazines, discussing overall trends in the Canadian literary press and giving specific examples from the Quill & Quire and the Montreal Review of Books. The second deals with the institutional practices of collecting and cataloguing translations according to metadata standards at three national libraries: the German National Library (DNB), the Austrian National Library (ÖNB), and the Bibliothèque et Archive nationales du Québec (BAnQ). By doing so, we problematize how the cataloguing, collecting, and reviewing of translated material can be viewed as a systemic issue, highlighting the parallels between these different types of practices. We hope to broaden the understanding of translation invisibility by looking at how institutional, cultural, and editorial practices inform the cataloguing, collecting, reviewing, and publishing of translations. What do book reviews and national libraries have in common and can teach us about translation visibility? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
