Cultural anthropology has always been dependent on translation as a
textual practice, and it has often used 'translation' as a metaphor
to describe ethnography's processes of interpretation and
cross-cultural comparison. Questions of intelligibility and
representation are central to both translation studies and
ethnographic writing - as are the dilemmas of cultural distance or
proximity, exoticism or appropriation. Similarly, recent work in
museum studies discusses problems of representation that are raised
by ethnographic museums as multimedia 'translations'. However, as
yet there has been remarkably little interdisciplinary exchange:
neither has translation studies kept up with the sophistication of
anthropology's investigations of meaning, representation and
'culture' itself, nor have anthropology and museum studies often
looked to translation studies for analyses of language difference
or concrete methods of tracing translation practices. This book
opens up an exciting field of study to translation scholars and
suggests possible avenues of cross-disciplinary collaboration.
