This article starts from a strangely bilingual Canadian sound poem, «Simultaneous Translation» by Penn Kemp (1984) and traces the specifically Canadian aspects of the work done in the area of «translation and gender» from the 1980s to 2000. The social and political circumstances supporting the intense focus both on gender and on translation in Canada in those decades are explored here, and are seen as the key to understanding why primarily Canadian writers and academics developed the field. ; Aquest article parteix d'un poema canadenc estranyament bilingüe «Traducció Simultània», escrit per Penn Kemp (1984) i traça els aspectes canadencs específics de la recerca feta en el camp de la «traducció i el gènere» des del 1980 fins al 2000. Les circumstàncies socials i polítiques que recolzen un enfocament intens vers el gènere i la traducció al Canadà en aquelles dècades s'examinen en aquest article, i es conceben com la clau per entendre per què foren primordialment els/les escriptor/es i acadèmic/ques canadencs els que varen desenvolupar aquest camp.

Much of Canadian cultural life is sustained and enriched by translation. Translation Effects moves beyond restrictive notions of official translation in Canada, analyzing its activities and effects on the streets, in movie theatres, on stages, in hospitals, in courtrooms, in literature, in politics, and across cafe tables. The first comprehensive study of the intersection of translation and culture, Translation Effects offers an original picture of translation practices across many languages and through several decades of Canadian life. The book presents detailed case studies of specific events and examines the reverberation and spread of their effects. Through these imaginative, at times unusual, investigations, the contributors unveil the simultaneous invisibility and omnipresence of translation and present a cross-cut of Canadian translation moments. Addressing the period from the 1950s to the present and including a wide scope of examples from medical interpreting to film dubbing, the essays in this book create a panoramic view of the creation of modern culture in Canada
