Abstract:

Translation Studies has recently been searching for connections withCultural Studies and Sociology. This volume brings together a range of waysin which the disciplines can be related, particularly with respect to researchmethodologies. The key aspects covered are the agents behind translation,the social histories revealed by translations, the perceived roles and valuesof translators in social contexts, the hidden power relations structuringpublication contexts, and the need to review basic concepts of the waysocial and cultural systems work. Special importance is placed onCommunity Interpreting as a field of social complexity, the lessons of whichcan be applied in many other areas.

The volume studies translators and interpreters working in a wide range ofcontexts, ranging from censorship in East Germany to English translations inGujarat. Major contributions are made by Agnès Whitfield, Daniel Gagnon,Franz Pöchhacker, Michaela Wolf, Pekka Kujamäki and Rita Kothari, with anextensive introduction on methodology by Anthony Pym.
