Building on the preceding chapters, it examines the survivor as activist in the context of prevention, state mechanisms, and antislavery participation. It exposes the responsibility placed on survivors for participation, the hierarchies of power that mute voice, and the limited ways in which survivors are employed. The chapter goes on to consider the antislavery strategies that survivors themselves suggest and reveal the challenges that survivors face engaging with the public sector to inform antislavery policy. The chapter includes an analysis of the extent of survivor participation in state processes and draws on analysis of the work of survivor activists.

Chapter 12 traces the role of linguistics within translation studies back to Roman Jakobson’s ‘On Linguistic Aspects of Translation’ of 1959. To illustrate how linguistic theories and concepts have developed and contributed to translation studies, it presents a map drawn up on the basis of a bibliometric survey, focusing on three major stages – pure linguistics, discourse analysis and multimodality. In light of the way in which the relationship has developed between translation studies and aspects of linguistics that have been applied to translation research, in particular multimodal discourse analysis, the chapter suggests how the relationship might continue to develop.
