Vol. 2: Artistic Practices DO - 10.3726/b15592 UR - https://www.peterlang.com/document/1057659 N2 - The objective of this book is to continue the reflection on the innovative potential of misunderstanding in cross-cultural encounters which we started by publishing the first part of the book (Understanding Misunderstanding. Vol. 1: Cross-Cultural Translation, Peter Lang 2019). The main purpose of these two corresponding volumes is to embrace not only the cross-cultural adaptation of texts, ideas and discourses in distant geo-historical contexts, but also the culturally-based mechanisms of creatively transforming and re-shaping the source-text in target environments. The notions of misunderstanding and semantic transformation are seen as crucial in this process, yet still not widely acknowledged.
