RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 García-Beyaert, SofíaYR 2021 T1 Framing the societal value of community interpreting JF QScience Connect, VO 2021 IS Issue 3 -Tenth International Translation Conference OP SP 6 DO https://doi.org/10.5339/connect.2021.tii.6 PB Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press), SN 2223-506X, AB After presenting the concept of communicative autonomy and how it can help professionals with ethical decision-making (micro), I draw on two different visual examples to analyze framing strategies for the profession by society at large (macro). One strategy relies on experiences of identity and belonging, while the other moves away from considerations of identity. I discuss what their respective advantages and disadvantages might be. I connect these strategies to the concept of “identity politics” and its counterpart “identity override”. For the final step of this article, I resort to some examples of groups that have made progress in the political agenda with their civil rights claims. It helps me make the case for a bi-faceted strategy for the advancement of community interpreting that both leverages identity group dynamics and is simultaneously able to appeal to the overarching concept of communicative autonomy., UL https://www.qscience.com/content/journals/10.5339/connect.2021.tii.6
