Višnja Jovanović’s Intra- and Interlingual Translation in Flux is an impressive contribution to translation studies, particularly to the growing field of intralingual translation. With illuminating examples ranging from folk ballads and short stories to film adaptation, the book also brings to light the complex issues of linguistic borders, multilingualism, and the cultural history of the former Yugoslav territories. The book is not only for readers interested in translation but also for those from comparative literature and Slavic Studies. Özlem Berk Albachten Professor of Translation and Interpreting Studies Boğazici University, Turkey Višnja Jovanović’s monograph Intra- and Interlingual Translation in Flux is a must-read for anyone interested in the complex and fascinating cultural relations between Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian, and Montenegrin languages and cultures. It is one of the first books to guide us into a hitherto understudied region of Europe’s history. At the same time it brings innovating concepts and insights for Translation and Cultural Studies scholars.
