Since the concept of (re)framing was adopted by Baker (2006, 2007) in her studies on translation and conflict, the focus on frames has offered new insights into translation as a dynamic multilayered process of constructing, adapting, and negotiating senses. Reframing Translators, Translators as Reframers, edited by Dominique Faria, Marta Pacheco Pinto, and Joana Moura, is an enlightening and thought-provoking contribution to the field of Translation Studies that offers a groundbreaking perspective on the transformative power of translation and delves into the multifaceted role of translators as reframers. The edited volume challenges traditional ideas of translation as a mere transfer of meaning and positions translators as active agents who play a pivotal role in reframing cultural, linguistic, and social realities.
