AB This paper assumes that ideology, discourse and power are intimately connected, and thatdiscourse is the mouthpiece of ideology. Power is thus negotiated, manipulated, expressed,rejected and challenged interpersonally through discourse in settings defined by institu-tional power asymmetry. This paper examines the issue of power as a governing factor incommunity —and public service interpreting by using Fairclough’s distinction betweenpower behind discourse and power in discourse, that is, hidden power that guides the inter-preter’s status and role, guiding the interpreter’s discourse and interpreting strategies. Threecategories of institutional relationships are examined: relations between actors in any insti-tutional setting, these same relations in cross-cultural encounters, and these same relationsin interpreter-mediated public service encounters. Lastly, the paper discusses power in rela-tion to the interpreter’s role.
