Proceedings of the International Conference on Similarity and Translation, New York, May 31 - June 1, 2001

The essayists in this book remind us that a grand paradox lives within translation. This grand paradox requires that translators must work simultaneously and consciously with similarity and difference. The essays study this grand paradox from four different standpoints: rhetoric, epistemology, semiotics, and culture.
