Centering Rights in the Development of Language Technology

Produktbeschreibung

This collection takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of gendered technology, an emerging area of inquiry that draws on a range of fields to explore how technology is designed and used in a way that reinforces or challenges gender norms and inequalities.

The volume explores different perspectives on the impact of technology on gender relations through specific cases of translation and interpreting technologies. In particular, the book considers the slow response of legal frameworks in dealing with the rise of language-based technologies, especially machine translation and large language models, and their impacts on individual and collective rights. Part I introduces the study of gendered technologies at this intersection of legal and translation and interpreting research, before moving into case studies of specific technologies. The cases explored in Parts II and III discuss the impact of interpreting and translation technologies on language professionals, language communities, and gender inequalities, while stressing the future needs of gendered technology, particularly machine translation. Taken together, the collection demonstrates the value of a cross-disciplinary approach in better understanding how language technologies can be harnessed to address discrimination and contribute to growing discussions on gender equality and social justice at the intersection of technology and translation.

This book will be of interest to scholars in translation and interpreting studies, gender studies, language technologies, and language and the law.

Rezensionen

"Gendered Technology in Translation and Interpreting dismantles the myth of neutrality shrouding language technologies, unveiling embedded gender and language hierarchies, and advocates for more equitable technology design and use....Against the surging tides of technology, this volume stands as a levee - forged with empirical rigour, feminist fury, and an unshakeable belief in intersectional justice."
