image of Chapter 14. The polyphony of periodicals

This chapter introduces the concept of polyphonic voice to investigate the soundscape of a translation-rich periodical. Using the anglophone Dutch periodical Delta and one of its principle editors and translators, James S Holmes, as a case, it shows how the “silent voice” of a periodical’s patron can create dissonance among the voices inscribed in its text; how a periodical’s collective voice can be gleaned through paratext such as editors’ notes and manifestos; and how paratext can be analyzed to hearken an individual editorial and translatorial voice within a translation-rich periodical’s collective soundscape.
