Translation and Practice Theory is a timely and theoretically
innovative study linking professional practice and translation
theory, showing the usefulness of a practice-theoretical approach
in addressing some of the challenges that the professional world of
translation is currently facing, including, for example, the
increasing deployment of machine translation. Focusing on the key
aspects of translation practices, Olohan provides the reader with
an in-depth understanding of how those practices are performed, as
translators interact with people, technologies and other material
resources in the translation workplace. The practice-theoretical
perspective helps to describe and explain the socio-material
complexities of present-day commercial translation practice but
also offers a productive approach for studies of translation and
interpreting practices in other settings and periods. This first
book-length exploration of translation through the lens of practice
theory is key reading for advanced students and researchers of
Translation Theory. It will also be of interest in the area of
professional communication within Communication Studies and Applied
Linguistics.
