The study of interpreting in conflict zones, on the one hand, and the study of fictional representations of interpreters, on the other, are two very popular lines of study in contemporary Interpreting Studies. This project lies halfway between both lines of study and within the framework of the Cultural Studies paradigm. The aim of this project is to analyse the fictional representation of conflict interpreters, more specifically, civilian interpreters hired by the US military during the invasion in the Iraq war, through an analytical-descriptive and interpretative corpus-based analysis, our corpus being the American miniseries Generation Kill (HBO, 2008). The show's seven constituent episodes will allow us to reflect upon the work of the interpreter in conflict zones, as well as the underlying meaning behind their representation, by studying concepts such as the interpreter's credentials, working conditions, usefulness, ethics, fidelity, neutrality, trustworthiness, realism and function.
