This article sets off from both the concepts of narrative theory and enframing – the latter developed within the realm of literature regarding social movements. In so doing, the purpose is to explore the many manners whereby translators and interpreters might emphasise, mitigate, and modify what one could consider divisive features present in the narrative(s) produced within the original text and/or utterance. At first, we provide an overview unfolding the axioms and advantages of applying, within the context of activist discourses, a narrative approach – in opposition to translation theories – as well as the notion of enframing. Followingly, our investigation is directed towards the specific spots and places of a text per se, or of any other related resources, wherein (re)framing could be effected; diverse examples of framing strategies deployed in both written and video translation are thus exposed. Such examples surface from translations of the English and Arabic pair, within the context of Middle East conflicts and the so-called War on Terror. It should be stressed nonetheless that the theoretical approaches herein described do not belong specifically to a certain language or context.
