The various dimensions of translation studies, too often studied independently, are here brought into conversation: Translation practice, including the various crafts employed by its practitioners; the specialized contexts in which translation occurs or against which translation can be considered; and the ethico-political consequences of translations or the manner of their making. Including exciting new work from leading translation theorists, practicing literary translators, and prominent thinkers from adjoining disciplines such as psychoanalysis and neuroscience, the essays gathered here demonstrate many rich areas of overlap, with translation pedagogy, the fundamental nature of translation, the translator's creativity, retranslation, canon formation, and the geopolitical stakes of literary translation among them.
- Showcases the diversity of approaches to translation for postgraduate and advanced undergraduate readers, bringing together disparate aspects of translation practice in a single volume
- Discusses translation alongside adjoining disciplines such as pedagogy, psychoanalysis, and neuroscience in accessible language, providing valuable interdisciplinary insight for experts and interested students alike
- Introduces current debates in the field of translation studies and includes insights from the cutting edge of translation research and practice, featuring contributions from both eminent and younger scholars and practitioners
