Chesterman, Andrew. 2000. What constitutes 'progress' in Translation Studies? In Englund Dimitrova, Birgitta, ed. Oversättning och tolkning: rapport fran ASLA:s Höstsymposium, Stockholm, 5-6 november 1998. Uppsala: Asla. pp. 33–49.
Abstract
Notions of progress in Translation Studies depend largely on what kind of academic discipline you think TS is. There seem to be three basic views, each of which is based on certain philosophical assumptions. These different assumptions give rise to a good deal of misunderstanding, as well as disagreement. Individual scholars are not necessarily to be associated exclusively with one or another of these views, but the author finds the three positions useful in drawing up a map of the current state of affairs.
