Translation studies as a discipline has grown enormously in recent
decades. Contributions to the discipline have come from a variety
of fields, including machine translation, history, literature,
philosophy, linguistics, terminology, signed language interpreting,
screen translation, translation pedagogy, software localization and
lexicography. There is evidently great diversity in translation
studies, but is there much unity? Have the different branches of
translation studies become so specialized that they can no longer
talk to each other? Would translation studies be strengthened or
weakened by the search for or the existence of unifying principles?
This volume brings together contributions from feminist theory,
screen translation, terminology, interpreting, computer-assisted
translation, advertising, literature, linguistics, and translation
pedagogy in order to counter the tendency to partition or exclude
in translation studies. Machine translation specialists and
literary translators should be found between the same book covers,
if only because the nomadic journeying of concepts is often the key
to intellectual discovery and renewal. Celebrating our differences
does not mean ignoring what we have in common. Unity in Diversity
offers a valuable overview of the current state of translation
studies from both theoretical and practical perspectives and makes
an important contribution to debates on the future direction of
translation studies.
