Drawing on Latour’s\u0000 Actor-Network Theory (ANT), this study attempts to explore the networking procedure of the translation activity on the website\u0000 Wuxiaworld of the Chinese martial arts novel Horizon, Bright Moon, Sabre, examining the dynamics of the formation\u0000 and function of the network and the roles played by the actors involved. It focuses on the four aspects delineated by ANT: the\u0000 confirmation of the scenario, the problematization of content, the enrollment of actors, and the completion of the network. The\u0000 findings suggest that the translation practice on Wuxiaworld establishes a well-constructed, not a random and unorganized,\u0000 network, which attracts loyal fan-readers, enrolls qualified translators, maintains a well-functioning network, and presents a\u0000 dynamic structure of immediate interactivity. All these lead to a new and reshaped translator-reader relationship of instant\u0000 interaction.","PeriodicalId":367783,"journal":{"name":"FORUM / Revue internationale d’interprétation et de traduction / International Journal of Interpretation and Translation","volume":"13 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140654291","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explores how interpreters adapt to these challenges,\u0000 specifically the functionality of live transcripts generated automatically by Zoom\u0000 Meetings in RSI. The study aims to: (1) investigate whether access to live\u0000 transcripts enhances the overall performance of interpreters; (2) explore\u0000 whether RSI with live transcripts increases cognitive demands; (3) identify\u0000 visual attention patterns in RSI with live transcripts. A group of professional\u0000 interpreting trainees (N = 13) were recruited for the study to\u0000 examine their interpreting with live transcripts and interpreting without live\u0000 transcripts, which yields three preliminary findings: Firstly, using live\u0000 transcripts significantly improves overall interpreting performance. Secondly,\u0000 RSI with live transcripts is more cognitively demanding. Lastly, live\u0000 transcripts attract the highest visual attention during the interpreting\u0000 process.","PeriodicalId":367783,"journal":{"name":"FORUM / Revue internationale d’interprétation et de traduction / International Journal of Interpretation and Translation","volume":"24 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140658570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
