“…Часть 5 описывает, как художественная литература критикует процессы стереотипизации и инакомыслия, которые стали превалировать во время экономического кризиса. По сути, перед нами версия политической философии, опирающаяся на данные имагологии [Barkhoff, Leerssen, 2021].…”

With the revival of nationalism and identity politics, imagological studies that analyze attitudes, stereotypes and prejudices about one’s own and others’ national character are becoming increasingly relevant. These studies investigate relationships that govern rhetoric, discursive representation, literary activity, and ultimately international relations in general. Imagology is currently intensively developing in literary criticism and other humanities, which also determines the relevance of this study. The purpose of this review article is to analyze scientific publications on the theoretical and practical aspects of imagology over the past 10 years in order to determine its significance and development prospects in the era of globalization. Тhe object of the study is the significance and prospects for the development of imagology; the subject of the study are scientific publications on imagological topics over the past 10 years. The choice of sources for this review was made by the keyword imagology on the following resources: Scopus, Cyberleninka, as well as Imagologica.eu — a site dedicated to imagological research over the past 10 years. An analysis of the main specialized series and collections of articles on imagology was carried out in order to identify the predominant topics of publications and confirm the role of imagology in literary criticism and other humanities. The study of modern Russian and foreign publications on imagological topics has shown that the modern environment is open to studying the discursively constructed nature of many social and cultural values. Thus, a large number of publications on imagological topics testify to the importance of modern imagology, its great prospects and continuous development. The analysis showed the main directions of research in modern imagology and proved that at present imagology is not concerned with isolated images, but with their relationships and associative links with other images, chronological boundaries of the dispersion of images, and shifts in content elements. Combining various approaches of contextual analysis (socio-historical, ethno-psychological and cultural-political), makes the imagological method effective and universal. It must be emphasized that imagology takes on the political mission of deconstructing nationalist reasoning and thus contributes to a better understanding between peoples. In cross-cultural, transnational and globalization studies, imagology has the potential to break stereotypes that oppose nations to each other and to find ways to interact.

“…Van Doorslaer (2021) describes several examples of the relevance of travel writing for imagological research: from the development of the image of Spain in travel writing through the centuries, over British colonial narratives including image constructions, up to more extended examples of contemporary travel journalism about South Africa in Dutch-language sources.…”

This contribution first explores the position of Journalistic Translation Research within the discipline of Translation Studies and, subsequently, describes the relevance of relating it to imagological approaches. It presents a case study that analyses how journalistic discourse in current Dutch-language newspapers (both from the Netherlands and Belgium) represents South Africa(ns). Five recurring images and topical fields are distinguished. They do not only build the imageme, i.e. the imagological range of presentations for South Africa(ns) in Dutchlanguage journalistic representations, but also confirm the constructed character of national and cultural image-building.

By introducing the New York Times Multilingual Parallel Corpus (NYTMPC), this contribution illustrates how multilingual parallel corpora can be designed, constructed, and used for Journalistic Translation Research (JTR). Also, by drawing on a theoretical framework interconnecting imagology and journalistic translation, I conduct a pilot study to demonstrate the exploitation of the NYTMPC for studying national image construction in news translation. The results indicate that stereotyped images of China in English news are reconstructed differently in their Chinese and Spanish translations, and the translational factors that underlie this process are uncovered more clearly with the aid of multilingual parallel corpora.
