Intro to Translation Studies

Catalog description

An introduction to the history of translation studies in the West and to a reflection on the main issues raised in more than two millennia of recorded scholarship: What kind of relationship should be established between originals and translations? What is the role of the translator’s activity in the construction of cultures and nations? What kind of ethics should guide the encounter between the domestic and the foreign? Recommended to those interested in translation as a profession and/ or as a theoretical question with fundamental implications for all the other disciplines.
