What is 'translation'? Even as the scholarly viewpoint of
translation studies has expanded over recent years, the notion of
'translation' has remained fixedly defined by its interlinguistic
element. However, there are many different contexts and disciplines
in which translation takes place for which this definition is
entirely unsuitable. Exploring translational aspects in contexts in
which scholars do not think about 'translation', this book
considers the alternative uses of the term beyond the
interlinguistic dimension. Taking our understanding of
'translation' back to its basic semiotic principles, leading
experts outline the wide variety of alternative fields of study,
practices, applications and contexts in which the term
'translation' is used. Chapters examine 11 different fields of
study, exploring what the term 'translation' means, how it is used
and what it could contribute to an enlarged understanding of
'translation' as a concept. In this way, the volume argues for a
reimagining of what we mean by translation, providing an essential
reference for anyone interested in how translation is understood
and practiced beyond the narrow perspectives of the field of
translation studies itself.
