ULISSES ESSAYS IN THEORY AND PRACTICE OF INTERPRETING explores the dynamic intersections between the theoretical foundations of interpreting and the practical realities of professional performance.

Bringing together a wide range of perspectives, this volume examines how established principles of interpreting continue to inform practice, while also investigating how lived experiences of interpreters challenge, reshape, and extend those principles.

This book, composed by English Literature students and lecturers of Universitas Dr. Soetomo, addresses critical themes including the cognitive and ethical dimensions of interpreting, the influence of culture and context, the role of technology, and the shifting expectations of global communication.

This book presents interpreting as a discipline that balances intellectual rigor with practical expertise. It also emphasizes its deeply human purpose in fostering communication, understanding, and connection across linguistic, cultural, and social boundaries.

Through this widened yet deepened perspective, interpreting emerges not only as a professional skill but also as a vital means of enabling meaningful interaction in diverse real-world contexts.
