Rizzi, Andrea, Birgit Lang and Anthony Pym. 2019. What is Translation History?: A trust-based approach (Translation History). Cham: Palgrave Pivot. 140 pp.

Abstract

This book presents a dynamic history of the ways in which translators are trusted and distrusted. Working from this premise, the authors develop an approach to translation that speaks to historians of literature, language, culture, society, science, translation and interpreting. By examining theories of trust from sociological, philosophical, and historical studies, and with reference to interdisciplinarity, the authors outline a methodology for approaching translation history and intercultural mediation from three discrete, concurrent perspectives on trust and translation: the interpersonal, the institutional and the regime-enacted.
