This volume is an integrated and structured set of readings that is prospective rather than retrospective in orientation. It contains a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in thinking about translation, both within and outside Translation Studies. The volume covers all the main forms of translation: oral, written, literary, non-literary, scientific, religious, audiovisual and machine translation. The topics covered include the politics and dynamics of representation, the positioning of translators and interpreters in institutional settings, issues of minority and cultural survival, and the impact of new media and technology. The volume incorporates key approaches to conceptualizing translation (from textual and philosophical to cultural and political) and includes core material from renowned scholars, but also innovative and less well-known work from scholars both in related disciplines and in the non-western world.
