Abstract
Although translation has to do with texts and the languages which these texts have to follow the norms of, contemporary Translation Theory (TT) has, following the 'cultural turn', increasingly taken on questions that deal only with the institutional matrices the product of translation has its genesis in and finds its way into. This paper argue that in doing so, it has, unfortunately peripheralized its own centre.
