Thinking through Translation with Metaphors explores a wide range
of metaphorical figures used to describe the translation process,
from Aristotle to the present. Most practitioners and theorists of
translation are familiar with a number of metaphors for
translation, such as the metaphor of the bridge, following in
another's footsteps, performing a musical score, changing clothes,
or painting a portrait; yet relatively little attention has been
paid to what these metaphorical models reveal about how we
conceptualize translation. Drawing on insights from recent
developments in metaphor theory, contributors to this volume reveal
how central metaphorical language has been to translation studies
at all periods of time and in various cultures. Metaphors have
played a key role in shaping the way in which we understand
translation, determining what facets of the translation process are
deemed to be important and therefore merit study, and aiding in the
training of successive generations of translators and theorists.
While some of the papers focus mainly on past metaphorical
representations, others discuss recent shifts in both metaphor and
translation theory, while others still propose innovative metaphors
in a bid to transform translation studies. The volume also includes
an annotated bibliography of works centrally concerned with
metaphors of translation.
