Abstract:

Both in their sheer breadth and in the detail of their coverage the essaysin Translating Others I & II challenge hegemonic thinking on the subject oftranslation. Engaging throughout with issues of representation in apostmodern and postcolonial world, Translating Others investigates thecomplex processes of projection, recognition, displacement and 'othering'effected not only by translation practices but also by translation studiesas developed in the West. At the same time, the volumes document theincreasing awareness that the world is peopled by others who alsotranslate, often in ways radically different from and hitherto largelyignored by the modes of translating conceptualized in Western discourses.

The languages covered in individual contributions include Arabic, Bengali,Chinese, Hindi, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Rajasthani, Somali,Swahili, Tamil, Tibetan and Turkish, as well as the Europhone literaturesof Africa, the tongues of medieval Europe, and some major languages ofEgypt's five-thousand-year history.

While some of the theoretical reflections address contemporary issues,including research, globalization, ethics and self-reflexivity, others dealwith historical concepts in various parts of the world and with therelation between translation theory and practice. Neighbouring disciplinesinvoked include anthropology, semiotics, museum and folklore studies,librarianship and the history of writing systems
