Hello!
I have been using wordreference (and the useful forum) for a while, but this is the first time I ask a question.
I am editing the translation of a book, the topic of the book is Cultural industries and one sentence says:
"Throughout this book, I argue for a view of the cultural industries and the texts they produce as complex, ambivalent and contested."
I am having a hard time in finding a good translation for contested, as "contestate" does not sound right to me. What do you think? I was thinking about using the word "controverse", would it be right?
Thank you in advance to those who will help!
Rowena
