Synopsis

Translation Studies has been an extraordinary success story which grew out of the work of a small group of international scholars in the 1970s and has become a global phenomenon. As the field has rapidly expanded, it has also diversified. This collection of essays, by world-leading translation specialists, sheds light on some of the major shifts in thinking about translation that are taking place today.

The authors here engage with the most contentious issues within translation studies and cover topics ranging from examining the scope for machine and human translation to develop together, to addressing the role of translation in the age of the Anthropocene and considering how we prepare translators for the complexities of contemporary communication.

Written in an accessible and engaging style and with an emphasis on challenging orthodoxies and encouraging critical thinking, this is essential reading for all advanced students of translation studies and literature in translation.
